Hello,

I can get 400 watts of free electricity.
I've been mining for one year with a Bitcoin miner at 270Gh/s. It has a 1.4 W/Gh/s ratio. It mines, at the moment, 0.00012124 BTC per day.
I'm looking to replace it with something that will mine more, but with the same 400 Watts consumption.
If I get an Antminer S7 (~350€) and underclock it, I can mine 0.00072117 BTC per day (1.6Th/s @ 400 watts).


I created yesterday a topic in the Bitcoin section.
Several people told me to mine an Altcoin to convert it to Bitcoin.


I'm a total stranger to Altcoins.
My goal would be to Mine an Altcoin and convert it to Bitcoin. And with that method, achieve a mining rate of more then 0.00072117 BTC per day.

What altcoin miner uses a maximum of 400 watts (or that can be underclocked to use less then 400 watts) ?
What would be the best miner, new or second hand, available in Europe ?
Which Altcoin to mine ?

Thanks
