Antminer S15
With a hash rate of 28Th/s, the Antminer S15 features formerly unseen power efficiency. It is based on cutting-edge 7nm chip technology. The device is still using the SHA-256 algorithm. The miner has two different modes: an energy saving mode and a high-performance mode. When the energy saving mode is in use, the S15 consumes a conservative 850W, making it a viable option for mining at home. The appeal of the S15 is the two-tiered power consumption option. You can choose the energy efficient option or high performance. When in high-performance mode, it consumes 1596W. As of November 8, 2018, the cost for the S15 is $1,475US and there is a limit of two per user.
Antminer S15 Pros
- Low power consumption option
- Hash rate of TH/s is an improvement over the S9
- Microprocessors with over a billion transistors per unit
- Does not heat up quickly
Antminer S15 Cons
- It goes from 14TH to 30TH, but that is not significant when considering the current Bitcoin hash rate
- The Innosilicon’s T2 turbo 32 has a rate of 32TH/s and is, therefore, a better investment.
Antminer S15 Colocation Hosting
If you have an Antminer S15 unit, you need electricity to get it up and running. You have the option to hire an electrician, and they can install an expensive 220v circuit at your home or office. In addition, you will need to keep it cool using a fan or air conditioning. Placing them in a secure position is important as well. If you live in an apartment building or have others that live in your dwelling, you will need to inform them that these machines are loud (76dB!) and hot. As another option, you can find a “miner-friendly” colocation service. Miner host are located all over North America, Canada, and Europe.
