Until January 2020, ETH difficulty increased and made some miners give up. At current competition levels and difficulty, ETH mining is once again favorable. In the past month, mining expanded again above 180 TH/s. After the latest hard fork, only 2 ETH will be awarded, leading up to the intentional switch to ETH 2.0, which will rely on staking.īut because the Ethereum network has been so slow in introducing staking, mining is still growing. The Ethereum network currently rewards 2 ETH per block each 15 seconds, down from as high as 5 ETH per block in previous reward periods. Mining ETH at home is also a matter of achieving sufficient hashing power and joining the right pool to get a part of the daily rewards.
The 1.2 kW Corsair CP-9020140-UK HX1200 allows for maximum power efficiency, to which a smart outlet may be added for tracking.Īssembling the computer components may pose difficulties, but an instructional video may help with the task. The power connector will be extremely important for an efficient rig, and the recommendation is to use a model with platinum connectors, to avoid losses. For more than three GPUs, a set of connectors may be needed to place the GPUs conveniently and connect them to the motherboard.Īn SSD memory completes the machine, with the potential to add a hardware wallet, or another basic tool to operate mining pools and receive ETH into a wallet. To connect the GPUs, a motherboard with six slots and possibly an additional power button to make switching on technically easier also go into the building of an Ethereum mining rig. Assembling the actual rig can be easier with custom-designed racks or cases, allowing the connection of six GPUs (or 540 MH/s potential). A basic Intel i3 CPU is recommended, as well as just basic 4GB RAM and a solid-state drive.
Powerful enough for professional animators, simple enough for beginners.Essentially, an Ethereum mining rig would resemble an entire computer, a dedicated machine to avoid overloading consumer electronics.
