Can someone tell me what the advantage of the Antminer V9, 4TH/s is?
Looking at the specs,

Antminer V9, 4TH/s 253mJ/MH+10%
Antminer S9, 13.5TH/s 0.098 J/GH +10%

Can someone standardize those specs for me?

The V9 is basically a re-branded S7. Unless you have free power, you should avoid it.

The V9's efficiency is 0.257 J/GH +10%, not even in the same ballpark as the S9 with 0.098 J/GH +10%. Notice how they went with a different set of units so you couldn't do a direct comparison?

To be fair, the V9 isn't supposed to compare with an S9. If you're talking all out efficiency, the S9 takes the cake.....and is priced accordingly at almost 8x the initial cost. ROI should also be taken into account, not just power consumption.

The cost of electricity for different areas as well and may not be as big of a factor for some, if any at all (solar).

Also, don't rule out the reward price in BTC at market value.

My main point is that we all mine at different levels with different factors involved so it's really hard to pinpoint what would/would not work for someone's situation without a better picture of what they were comparing or trying to achieve.

If you were to compare

To be fair, I was just answering @Tnaa97 request to standardize those specs.

To be fair, it was a general statement, not necessarily in response to your comment. I was just responding in a chain, not specific to your quote. We are in agreement on apples to oranges comparison

So is the T9+ the most efficient at 136mJ/GH+7%?

Thanks Everyone.
