Everything you need to know: Bitmain Z11 Equihash Miner

Everything you need to know: Bitmain Z11 Equihash Miner

On March 18th Bitmain announced its new Equihash ASIC Miner with 12nm chip technology. Shortly after, the miner sold out in their website.

The new Antminer is expected to triple its predecessor, the Z9, in hashing power while being more energy efficient. You’ll get about 150 KSol/s while consuming 1600 Watts. In conclusion, 3x the performance and just 50% higher power consumption.

Pricing for the first batch was ~1,300 USD and shipping will happen between April 20–30. After the first batch is released we expect network difficulty to increase at least to 100MM given the rumors that 10,000 units were sold.

Given our difficulty estimates, we expect this miner to make ~1.2 ZEC per week.

Are you planning on buying the Z11? What do you think profitability will be? Payback period? Let’s discuss in our Discord or Telegram 🚀

Luxor Setup Guide

To get started, navigate to your dashboard by finding your miners’ IP address using your router or scanner. Your page will look something like this:

You should see the option to mine with a number of different pools. We’re going to set it up with Luxor’s Mining Pool, the best mining pool — disclaimer: we’re slightly biased 😃

Now you need to decide whether you want to mine Zcash or Horizen. Profitability should be fairly similar, it’s up to you which project you want to support.

Zcash Mining

Bitcoin is awesome. But at Luxor we think it is missing something. Zcash improves on the original technology. Bitcoin and most cryptocurrencies expose your entire payment history to the public. Zcash is the first open, permissionless cryptocurrency that can fully protect the privacy of transactions using zero-knowledge cryptography. Learn more about Zcash here.

zec-us.luxor.tech:6666

zec-eu.luxor.tech:6666

zec-asia.luxor.tech:6666

zec-cn.luxor.tech:6666

Pick one of the above Stratum nodes (ensure it is port 6666), and type in the pool setting as follows:

URL: zec-us.luxor.tech:6666(set to your nearest location)

Worker: YourZcashAddress.username (username can be anything, but avoid using symbols or special characters as it may be an invalid username)

Password: 123

For the other nodes (Pool 2 and Pool 3), feel free to use any of the other region nodes, such as zec-eu.luxor.tech:6666.

Horizen Mining

Horizen is a platform designed for private communications and private economic activity. Cutting-edge cryptography and zero knowledge proofs enable fully anonymous peer to peer communication. Horizen’s distributed and encrypted networking design is resistant, to traffic correlation and metadata analysis. Learn more about Horizen here.

zen-eu.luxor.tech:6677

zen-asia.luxor.tech:6677

zen-cn.luxor.tech:6677

Pick one of the above Stratum nodes (ensure it is port 6666), and type in the pool setting as follows:

URL: zen-us.luxor.tech:6666(set to your nearest location)

Worker: YourHorizenAddress.username (username can be anything, but avoid using symbols or special characters as it may be an invalid username)

Password: 123

For the other nodes (Pool 2 and Pool 3), feel free to use any of the other region nodes, such as zen-eu.luxor.tech:6677.

Monitoring revenue and machine performance

Once you’ve started hashing, grab yourself a beer! It’ll take about 5 minutes for your worker to appear on our stats page. To find your user, simply go to mining.luxor.tech and type in your wallet address at the top of the searchbar. You should see something like this:

To make your life easier, we developed the smartest Mining Bot: Lifeguard. He is available 24/7 and always in a good mood to answer all of your questions and track your miners status and performance.

Happy Hashing!
