How to make $1,000 in more than a month? Avalon series mining machine review, how to choose Avalon series mining machine

Recently, a fan sent me a private message saying that the Avalon A12 series mining machine can earn $1,000 in more than a month! Is this true?

Hello everyone, I am Block Luban. Today, I am going to review the three most popular models in the Avalon brand series, which currently have the highest market share: A1066-50T , A1166pro-81T , and A1246-87T.

This is the official data. It can be seen that in more than a year, Canaan Technology has released four new products in the Avalon series (including A1166 ). Compared with A1066 , A1246 has a 44% increase in computing power , a power consumption increase of less than 200W , and a reduction in energy consumption from 63J/TH to 38J/TH .

Next, to see how they actually perform, I picked out three machines.

After waiting for a while, we will summarize and compare the measured data of the three machines:

Overall, the three machines are running very stably, the measured data is basically consistent with the official rated data, and the mining efficiency is indeed doubled. In addition, the noise value is between 80-95dB , and the temperature is around 60 ° C .

Let me take a look at the issue of income that everyone is most concerned about. According to the measured data and today's currency price ( 2021.12.7 ), I found that the income performance of these three machines is indeed good. Among them, the daily income of A1246 reached $25.3 , which is not bad. According to this, the Avalon A12 series mining machine can indeed earn $1,000 in more than a month.

However, when calculating the benefits, factors such as machine investment and electricity costs also need to be considered.

For example, the A1066-50T I bought was the first and cheapest of the three models listed above. The purchase price was $2,280, and the average daily electricity cost was $6 ( 0.078 per kWh ). If calculated based on today's currency price of $50,446, the payback period is about 270 days.

The power consumption of the A1166 pro and A1246 models is comparable to that of the A1066, but the computing power is increased by 37% to 44% , and the payback period is naturally greatly reduced. In general, if you have a limited budget, you can choose the A1066 ; if you are looking for cost-effectiveness, it is recommended to choose the A1166 Pro ; and for those who have sufficient funds and value the return rate in the later stage, the A1246 is also a good choice for you.

Since Canaan Technology launched its first ASIC professional mining machine A1 in January 2013 , it has subsequently released more than ten new models, from A1 to A12 . Each model is an iterative upgrade of technology and gradual optimization of performance. Compared with brands such as Ant, Shenma, and Xindong, Avalon has always been favored by miners due to its comprehensive strength and cost-effectiveness, and its market share is in a stable growth trend.
