Hello guys
If you had a free 500w /h what crypto will you be mining?
i will install some solar power on my room and i calculate that i will have about 500w /h free and i intent to use these watts for mining
what would be the best option for me?
i am a newbie when comes to mining
is monero or z cash still profitable? would an antminer x3 500w will be a good option for me?
thank you in advance
I think if you’re expecting solar power to run your miners you have a lot to learn. The amount of batteries you would need to keep it going through the night or cloudy days would be so much that it isn’t even worth mentioning that you plan to install solar. It’s nice to have solar to help with long term electricity costs, but it’s really more of a home choice than an addition to a home mining setup. Even if you spend nearly $50K on your solar setup like I did, it would still barely power a small mining setup.
for the sake of conversation lets say that i have already install them (i am not going to pay for that , there is a funding program running right now in my country that covers 85% of the cost installing solar panels on your homes aiming to have electric autonomy provided by EU)
A single 3070Ti is a perfect fit for your setup, this GPU gives 82MH using 193watt in miner and 230watt from wall.
to mine ethash algorithm?
The most effective Asic miners takes more than 500watt from the wall, in your own case Asic is a bad idea, go for graphic cards, like RX6600XT, four pieces of this cards will give you 120MH using 240watt from wall, better than what @Takyeon suggested, 8x of 6600XT will use 500watt and you will get 240MH..
