Power Mining ASIC-224 MMU comparison with Bitfury BlockBox AC

Power Mining ASIC-224 MMU comparison with Bitfury BlockBox AC

Previous generation PM MMUs getting ready for delivery in Europe.

The main goals we set when we design our MMUs are:

  1. Mobility and scalability
  2. Maintenance convenience;
  3. Decentralized design — possibility to adapt to fit the most efficient cryptocurrency miners in the market.
  4. Creating financially viable solution.
Power Mining ASIC-224 MMU

Previously we compared the previous generation PM160 MMU with the Bitfury BlockBox in June 2018.

Recap of bitcoin mining gear technological development since then.

In October 2018 Bitfury released their 14nm Bitfury Clarke SHA-256 ASIC chips and Bitfury B8 / Bitfury Tardis mining servers with efficiency of 83 J/TH.

Is the slogan “Maximize your Mining revenue!” really true? Isn’t it “Minimize”?

In November 2018 Bitmain (the biggest manufacturer of ASIC miners) announced their newest miner models — Antminer S11, T15, S15 that implements their at the time newest 7NM chips (BM1391).

In February 2019 Bitmain announced their 2nd generation 7nm chips (BM1397) with plan to launch Antminer T17 and S17 models.

As of March 2019 the actual model from the Bitfury is Bitfury Tardis, however, from Bitmain, it’s Antminer S15, therefore we will include these numbers in the further assumptions and calculations.

Let’s compare the solutions!

Disclaimer: Bitfury haven’t publicly announced their miner / container solution pricing.
However, in Nov. 12, 2018 the latest (as of March 18, 2019) statement from Hut 8 was published, where the purchase price for 12 new BlockBoxes were mentioned as US$13,000,000, therefore an estimate of US$1,083,000 per BlockBox is assumed, which we include in the comparison with Power Mining ASIC-224.

Bitfury BlockBox AC and Power Mining ASIC-224 MMU comparison

The table shows that in order to produce an equal amount of hash at both facilities, the Bitfury’s BlockBox consumes almost half (45%) more power (359kW vs 521kW) and costs 147% more ($513k) than Power Mining’s MMU ($207k).

If you are located in the Northern America, then Bitfury products is not even an option for you– due the exclusive partnership of Bitfury with Hut 8, the BlockBox or Tardis servers can’t be purchased and delivered in the North American market.

As well with the Power Mining MMUs you are not only limited to mining Bitcoin with SHA-256 miners. You decide what crypto miners you want to use!
