The chronicle of the development of mining devices is somewhat similar to the evolution of life on Earth. Once upon a time, cryptocurrency mining was carried out on central processors at a speed of 20-30Mh / s, and modern ASIC devices can develop 50Th / s, which is about 2,000,000 times more than the hash rate of the first miners.
More recently, the Antminer S15, accelerating to 28.00 Th / s, was one of the most productive miners for bitcoin mining, and now the developer announced the launch of the bitmain antminer S17, which is much superior to the S15 in all respects.
Let’s take a closer look at the ASIC S17 characteristics and differences from previous versions of Antminer. If we compare S15 and S17, then the new drilling rig demonstrates a speed almost 2 times higher than the ASIK S15.
Model | Antminer S17 | Antminer S17Pro | Antminer S15 |
---|---|---|---|
Algorithm mining | SHA-256 | SHA-256 | SHA-256 |
Hashrate (Turbo) |
53/62TH±3% | ||
Hashrate (Normal) |
50 / 53TH ± 6% | 53TH ± 6% | 28 TH/s |
Hashrate (low mode) |
35/50TH±3% | 36/48TH±3% | 15.5/18 TH/s |
Frequency | Auto | Auto | Auto |
Power consumption (Turbo) |

Power consumption (Normal) |
2250 / 2385W ± 7% | 2094W ± 7% | |
Energy efficiency (Normal) |
45J/TH± 10% | 39.5J / TH ± 10% | 60 J/TH |
Energy efficiency (low mode) |
42J / TH ± 10% | 45.0J / TH ± 10% | 52 J/TH |
Cooler | 4 fans | 4 fans | 2 fans |
Fan speed | 6000 rpm | 6000 rpm | 6000 rpm |
Number of hash boards | 3 | 3 | 4 |
Number of hash chips | 144 | 144 | 288 |
Maximum temperature hash boards |
75°C | 75°C | 75°C |
Indoor air temperature | 5 – 35°C | 0 – 40°C | 0 – 40°C |
Noise | 82 Db | 82 Db | 75 Db |
Dimensions of the device (without packaging) | 298.2 / 178.0 / 296.6mm | 298.2 / 178.0 / 296.6mm | 240/178/296mm |
Net weight) | 9.5 KG | 9.5 KG | 7 KG |
Bitmain is more productive, energy consumption increased by 55-70%, dimensions, and operating temperature of the devices remained almost unchanged. The weight of the new miner increased by 2.5 kg and it became louder, which is not surprising with four fans. But a two-cooler system simply would not have coped with heat dissipation at such a high acceleration.
On the bitmain website, all antminer S17s are sold.
Wholesalers bought up the first batch of devices before the launch. If you want to buy an asic antminer S17 in Moscow, go to the website http://51asic.ru. Here you can order the Antminer S17 Pro model, which works in three modes. Estimated delivery time to Moscow is May 10-15, the number of devices is limited.
Precautions for use:
Configuring antminer S17 starts with finding the miner’s IP.
IP: https://service.bitmain.com/support/download.
The next step in configuring antminer S17 is connecting to the pool.
The visuals use Antpool. Feel free to use other mining pools. Checking the status of the miner and setting up antminer S17 is complete. It will take 5 to 30 minutes to start mining. Always check the average hash rate, not just the real-time mining speed.
Before buying a mining device for over $ 2,700, you need to figure out its payback period. The online calculator WhatToMine will help to calculate the daily profitability for the miner antminer S17. We go to the Miners section and look for our model in the list of devices. The price of electricity may differ slightly, depending on the region of the country, we will set $ 0.06 / kWt, with such a cost of electricity, the most cost-effective antminer S17 Pro in Normal mode brings 6.14 $ net income per day.
When working in turbo mode, the S17 Pro earns $ 13 per day, excluding the cost of the socket. Of course, these calculations are not final, just today bitcoin dropped slightly, as soon as the coin rate goes up again, the profitability of ASIK antminer S17 will instantly increase.
According to various forecasts, the value of the main cryptocurrency by 2020 will rise by 300-1000%. Whether it is true or not, we’ll see, but it is obvious that the era of fiat money is coming to an end. Traditional currencies will sink into oblivion, as happened with the silver piastres and gold doubloons of the time of Captain Flint. Today’s gentlemen of fortune do not sail, but sit in comfortable armchairs in front of computers. But that’s a completely different story.
