New Antminer S19-95T Unboxing Review

The s19 was released on March 23, 2020. It is equipped with a 7nm process chip and is Bitmain's third-generation 7nm machine.

According to official data, the rated computing power of the Antminer is 95TH/s; the energy efficiency ratio is 34.5J/TH±5%; the power consumption on the wall is 3250W±5%. The mining machine has been certified by various countries around the world, and it is very convenient to export.

Next, we will introduce this mining machine from the perspective of the overall introduction of the mining machine, connecting the power supply to the mining pool, and the actual computing power calculation.

1. Introduction to mining machines

Outer box dimensions of Antminer S19-95T (length*width*height): 570*316*430 (mm)

Machine weight (including packaging, 16.5kg)

Antminer S19-95T adopts an aluminum alloy profile mechatronic design, a four-fan parallel structure, a bare machine size of 400*195.5*290mm, and a net weight of approximately 14.4kg.

The Antminer S19 is slightly larger than the S15 and S17. The overall design follows the previous two generations of miners, and adopts a double-tube design to better dissipate heat from the hashboard during operation. The miner contains two fans at the front and back, one for the air inlet and one for the air outlet.

The entire mining machine is highly integrated, with the power supply and control board all being integrated into one design, which is also designed to facilitate operation and maintenance, as well as to make loading and unloading easier.

In response to previous complaints about the Antminer being "fragile", optimizations were made in both early research and development and later production to ensure that it has better adaptability to high and low temperatures.

Open the outer packaging of the mining machine, the interior is packaged in an industrial reinforced carton, the top and bottom are protected by customized high-density pearl foam, the outside of the machine is covered with an anti-static dust-proof bag, and the overall packaging is tight and safe.

2. Check the mining machine SN code

Each miner has an SN code on its body and power supply, and the warranty period can be checked on the official website. The official warranty period of the Antminer was announced in 2020, and the warranty period of the new Antminer was extended to 1 year.

3. Connect to the network and power supply

(Link to power diagram)

To start the mining machine, you need to prepare an Internet cable and two power cables.

After connection, when the red and green indicator lights are on at the same time, it means it is starting up, and when only the green indicator light is on, it means it is running normally.

4. Connect to the mining pool and start mining

The picture below shows the software used by staff to configure the mining machine.

Figure 1 is a note for recording information, Figure 2 is a batch configuration of the mining pool software (convenient for one-click import), and Figure 3 is an Antminer configuration of the mining machine software (choose one of the two or three softwares)

This time the link is to the Biyin mining pool. Find the mining address at the bottom of the page (https://www.poolin.com/my/9308258/btc/dashboard?read_token=wowrWxf17C8DZj882yNALFj33Rl8wWqee9M6bKLeqDVMPRmNzcwGU8Jc0L5THfd5)

Copy and paste the mining address of the mining pool into the information column of the BTCTools software. The three mining pools are configured to prevent the configuration address from becoming invalid and to serve as a backup.

Change the miner name suffix to: IP to make it easier to find the miner. Click to select Configure All, start scanning the miner, and complete the configuration.

Click IP, the Antminer configuration page pops up, configure the IP Setting in the background, and change the Protocol to Static to fix the miner's IP, making it easier to find the miner.

Complete the IP address, subnet mask, gateway and DNS server.

After filling in the information, you can view the status of the mining machine, real-time computing power, running time, etc. in the user panel. The machine is running stably.

In the mining pool background, you can check that the mining machine has been successfully connected to the mining pool. (The real-time computing power of the mining pool is updated with delays, and the real-time computing power can be checked in the Ant backend)

Through actual measurement of the computing power of the s19 mining machine, it matches the official release.

The following are some of the advantages of Antminer S19:

Through actual calculations and feedback from mining machine operation and maintenance personnel, the S19 series mining machine is a model with extreme computing power and power consumption. The actual field calculation computing power and power consumption are almost the same as the official ones, or even slightly higher.

The mining machine can mine for a long time: Although Bitmain is verifying the 5nm process, it will take a long time for the machine to be put on the market, and it will take at least another 4-5 years to mine.

Good quality control: Ant has a good grasp of the overall quality control of mining machines. For example, of the 600 s19 series mining machines purchased last year, only two or three machines were offline when they were put on the shelves, and they can run completely well with the remote assistance of Ant engineers.

Brand guarantee: Antminer has the largest number of products in the industry, and when buying and selling second-hand machines, the residual value of the mining machines is also very high among machines of the same level.

Suitable investors:

With very little production capacity and a large amount of purchasing demand in the market, it is not easy to incur losses even if the currency price plummets.

For investors who engage in long-term mining: models with low power consumption ratio make mining more resistant to risks.
