ACH EX1 Miner Review - Miner Renaissance Light Feed

I am honored to have received the first batch of mining machines from the project. Before I introduce the actual mining machine experience, I would like to discuss the ACH public chain with you. To experience the ACH mining machine EX1, call/WeChat 13509641934.

Automatic clearing High Speed ​​(ACH for short) is a new cryptocurrency based on the ACH algorithm, which can effectively resist ASIC and avoid the concentration of computing power. ACH also innovatively adopts the CPoW mining mechanism to limit the access to mining participation. Through this mechanism, it can effectively avoid power monopoly, reduce the amount of digital currency flowing into the market, and increase the income of miners. There is no longer competition between miners, but cooperation, which makes ACH more secure and trustworthy to stimulate the continued growth of prices.

ACH innovatively adopts the combination of Dpos mechanism and Pow mechanism to avoid the shortcomings of low throughput, network congestion and high gas fees of the traditional Pow form, while maintaining the advantages of blockchain decentralization and absolute trust.

There are two mining modes: naked mining and staking. The return rate in naked mining mode is only 18.75%, currently about 31 coins per day; the return rate of staking mining is 100%, currently floating in the range of about 150-160 coins per day. The staking calculation method is 125U/K, so the 8K computing power of EX1 needs to stake ACH equivalent to 1000U. ACH is currently available on BIKI Exchange and has been converted from ERC20 tokens to public chain coins. If you need to stake and buy coins, you can only do it through BIKI Exchange for the time being.

ACH does not rely on any third-party mining pools and wallets. The project party builds its own mining pool and wallet. The editor briefly introduces the registration steps of the mining pool and wallet:

1. Download and register the public chain wallet and obtain the wallet address

(1) Download the wallet

IOS download address:

https://testflight.apple.com/join/qo1zDQ5P

Android download address: https://achs.io/assets/download/AchWallet_v2(1.1)_2020-09-11_10-36_IST-release.apk

(2) Register a wallet account and obtain the payment address

Click "sign up" in the lower right corner of the homepage to enter the registration page. After entering the necessary elements, click the "sign up" button again. At this time, the wallet will send a 4-digit verification code to the registered email address. After logging in to the email address and entering the verification code, set a 4-digit quick login password, that is, enter the wallet homepage and click "Receive" or the payment address.

2. Register a mining pool and bind a wallet address

Own mining pool address: https://achpool.com/MPOS/public/index.php

After logging in to the above mining pool address, click "sign up" and enter the necessary elements to complete the registration. These are very basic operations for experienced miners.

Next, we will formally introduce some parameters and configurations of the world's first ACH mining machine EX1. EX1 is an FPGA mining machine with a built-in self-developed high-performance computing chip, focusing on simplicity, energy saving and high yield.

EX1 Appearance

The EX1 logistics packaging is compact and square in appearance. There is an "ELEGANT" logo on only one side of the box, and no other special logos. It is expected that there will be improvements after mass production. The logistics packaging volume is: 420 × 210 × 250mm.

The EX1 mining machine host is wrapped in pearl foam and placed on its side in the box, and the mining machine is wrapped in plastic to effectively avoid damage during transportation.

Although EX1 is an FPGA mining machine, it uses the same design as professional ASIC mining machines, similar to the first-generation king Ant S9. There is no design similar to the control board on the outside. It uses a simple single-tube design. Initially, it consists of a metal body, a cooling fan, and a hashboard. There is no control board. It is expected that the control board is integrated into the hashboard. We have temporarily laid a foreshadowing, and we will disassemble the machine later to verify our guess.

Let's compare it with Antminer S9. The EX1 has a volume of 310 × 125 × 125mm. The only thing missing from the EX1 is the upper control panel and the rear fan.

The EX1 mining machine uses an aluminum alloy one-piece molding process. There is a card slot reserved inside for installing the mining machine computing board. There is a network cable interface and a reset button on the back.

The whole machine has reasonable heat dissipation and uses a cooling fan with a specification of 6000 rpm, 12V, 1.65A, which should be able to cope with the heat generated by EX1 with ease.

The mining machine has a built-in hashboard with 4 chips welded on it. Due to technical problems, the editor is unable to obtain the chip model. The hashboard is solidly made and the heat sink is fixed with clips instead of welding.

The disassembly of the EX1 mining machine family photo verifies our previous speculation that the EX1 mining machine control board is indeed integrated into the computing power board.

EX1 Installation and Setup

1. Hardware configuration

The official propaganda says that the power consumption of the first batch of mining machines is 100W, so a general power supply can handle it. The editor chose a Bumblebee 1600w silent power supply, connected the 5 6pin connectors on the hashboard, and connected the network cable to complete the hardware configuration.

2. Software Configuration

(1) After booting up, the indicator light behind the network port will flash. Because the EX1 mining machine does not have an IP Reporter button, it is necessary to find the mining machine IP in the router background. The firmware has not been updated yet. It is normal that the network port light is not on after booting up.

(2) After entering the IP, you will directly enter the backend without a password. It looks a bit simple. The username must be consistent with the username when registering the mining pool. Copy the miner number at the back for backup. The password can be set at will. You need to click the "Start" button. The mining machine cannot start automatically after each power failure, and you need to manually click the "Start" button.

(3) Log in to the mining pool and click "My Workers" to enter the miner settings page. Enter the copied ID and password in the Worker Name field and click "Add New Worker" to complete the settings.

The computing power of the mining pool background starts quickly. After waiting for 2 minutes, the computing power curve is displayed in the background. The power consumption meter is about 60W, and the electricity bill is almost negligible. Calculated according to the household electricity price of 0.55, the monthly electricity bill is about: 0.06×24×30×0.55=23.76 yuan, which is almost negligible. The current ACH coin price is 0.5. After staking, the daily output of coins is 160. The monthly net profit is: 160×0.5×30-23.76=2376.24, which far exceeds the latest Ant S19pro mining machine. Because of its extremely low heat generation, it can be replaced with a 2200-rpm silent fan. It is the first choice for home and professional mining layout, with extremely high cost performance.

ACH EX1 Miner Review Summary

(1) The EX1 mining machine has changed the single-board shape of most previous FPGA mining machines, from a simple single-board machine to a professional mining machine style.

(2) The professional appearance of the mining machine makes it easier to deploy mining machines in batches and more convenient to maintain.

(3) ACH mining machines maintain high profits when electricity costs are extremely low. It is a wise choice at the current time when Bitcoin is halved and mining machine prices remain high.

(4) Currently, the project is continuously optimizing the public chain, mining pool and mining machine firmware. We believe that the subsequent project will make it more user-friendly for miners through firmware upgrades and optimizations, improving background operations, and providing a new interface display.

As an innovative and revolutionary global public chain, ACH adopts a new mining model of dpos+pow, with a transfer speed of almost zero delay, and has extremely high appreciation potential. From the mining pool, wallet, and mining machine, all of which have their own intellectual property rights, it can be seen that the technical strength of the project party is first-class. It is a rare good project in 2020. Do you wise miners still want to miss this wave of wealth? If you missed BTC and ETH, don’t miss ACH again!
