Antminer E3
The Antminer E3 is the first ASIC miner built to mine Ethereum, rather than Bitcoin. The miner has a hashrate of 180 MH/s and requires a power supply unit that offers 800 watts or above. You can expect to see a return on your investment within a year or possibly within eight or nine months. The release of this miner has pushed other companies to produce Ethereum miners, which could end up dropping the price of the products over time. The current return on investment seems to be around $2,500 a year for the average user.
Antminer E3 Pros
- First miner on the market specifically designed for Ethereum mining

Antminer E3 Cons
- Requires the purchase of an ATX PSU, the APW3++ is recommended
- Not the right product for a miner interested in other currency types
- Cost is likely to be prohibitive for some users
