Innosilicon was originally engaged in the production of components for electronic equipment. But, the excitement caused by the emergence of ASICS in the cryptocurrency market prompted the company’s management to make the decision to switch to the release of a new type of mining machines, and it was the right choice.
In the shortest time, Innosilicon has taken a leading position in the production of devices for the extraction of virtual assets. The fantastic pace of the company’s development has been repeatedly noted by analytical agencies. High quality products and flexible pricing policy made Innosilicon a worthy competitor to the mining giant Bitmain.
Each of the manufacturers produces miners based on the Equihash algorithm. ASIK’s review from Bitmain Antminer Z9, now consider its competitor innosilicon a9 zmaster.
Description and characteristics
The miner is made in the form of a rectangular tube, with two fans and a control module. The main features of the innosilicon a9 zmaster:
- Hash rate – 50 Ksol / s;
- Power consumption – 620 W.
The power supply is supplied separately, it is recommended to purchase a 1000W power supply.
In 2018, the innosilicon a9 zmaster became a real hit in the drilling rig market, outperforming its colleagues in all respects. The zikesh algorithm ceased to interest miners on video cards and finally moved to the ASIC section.
Prior to the appearance of the model of the same name (A9 +), Innosilicon A9 ZMaster was the highest performing algorithm miner Equihash… The device has low power consumption, compact size, and sufficiently high mining power. These parameters enable ASIK to remain profitable to this day.
Comparison with competitors
The table shows the comparative characteristics of the innosilicon a9 zmaster with the main rival bitmain antminer z9.
| Model | innosilicon a9 master | Bitmain atminer z9 |
|---|---|---|
| Hashrate | 50Ksol / s (+ -8%) | 40.8 ksol/s |
| power usage | 620W +/- 8% | 1150W ± 10% |
| Dimensions (mm) | 360 x 125 x 155 | 226 x132 x 279 |
| Net weight) | 5.13kg | 5.50 kg |
| Working temperature | 0-40 ℃ | 15 – 35 ° C |
Comparing the two models, it is necessary to take into account not only technical indicators, but also the cost of each of the devices. In this regard, the innosilicon a9 zmaster also “surpasses” its counterpart. The a9 zmaster model costs two and a half times the price of its counterpart from Bitmain, and for this reason has a longer payback period.
At the time of this writing, it is impossible to buy innosilicon a9 zmaster on the manufacturer’s official website. All miners are sold and marked “HOT”Shows that the model is in high demand.
Among the offers on Yandex, the most favorable price is innosilicon a9 zmaster 125,000 rubles. from IBMM. Miners are delivered directly from China, installment plan and placement of devices in the seller’s mining hotel is possible. For comparison, the official Bitmain dealer in the Russian Federation has an atminer z9 price without a power supply unit of 43,500 rubles.
If you are wondering whether overclocking above the factory parameters is possible for innosilicon a9 zmaster devices, then this service is provided by the service AsicSoft.Pro… According to the authors of the project, they can increase the frequency limit from 1250 to 1500 MHz, which will increase the hash rate to 60+ kSol.
For cooling devices based on integrated circuits with non-standard overclocking parameters, it is recommended to use immersion liquid. It is a water-free coolant designed specifically for industrial mining. The only problem is that the ASIK can only be cleaned after immersion cooling using ultrasound.
Calculation of payback and profitability
Let’s calculate at least approximately what is the profitability of innosilicon equihash a9 zmaster in 2020. We go to WhatToMine in the Miners section, here are published lists of all popular devices for mining and the amount of daily profit at the current rate of mined cryptocurrencies.
At the time of this writing, equipment at an electricity price of $ 0.06 brings $ 7.17 in net profit per day. Based on the price of the device 125,000r payback period innosilicon a9 zmaster approx. 8 months.
The main competitor of atminer z9, brings $ 5.39 per day and, at the current rate of mined cryptocurrencies, pays off in 5 months… In fact, the money spent on the purchase of one innosilicon a9 zmaster can buy two atminer z9 miners and get a higher income. Well, it’s hard to say how much more durable one of the models is.
However, it should be borne in mind that with an increase in cryptocurrency rates, the difference in the volume of net profit between ASICs will be more significant. The innosilicon a9 zmaster miner earns more coins while spending less resources. Large investments bring large profits.
By the way, if you think that buying any of the virtual coins and waiting for the hype is easier than investing in mining equipment, keep one thing in mind. Most blockchain networks are based on mining. If we assume, purely theoretically, that any of these coins will cease to be mined, in general, it will not withstand competition. A complete stop of mining will bring down the crypto industry and all the money of investors will turn into nothing.
