Hello everyone, it's none other than Lasix, your one stop solution for all hypertension . Welcome back to my post which will further tell about mining Cryptocurrencies.
This post is 4th in this category. In case you missed previous one's and want to have a look, here are the links

Let's continue the post without further delay.
We were on requirements of mining Cryptocurrencies. So far we have discussed Operating System, Processors and Graphics Card
Next on our list is
MINING RIG
. So what is a mining rig
A mining rig is an collection of hardware elements, either CPU, GPU, FPGA or ASIC that have been arranged to perform cryptocurrency mining.
If you have multiple pieces, then mining rig is required. If you are not doing on big scale, then it can be avoided.
There are many mining rigs available in market which have other components already installed in it. One can buy one mining rig at a cost of around 50$ if required. If you are good at construction and artistry, you can also construct your own mining rig at home.
Either you can choose wood or steel to build it and best part, fit to your components and cost effective.
Although you can buy any available mining rig without components at cheap cost, but u need to justify your components to fit into it and so as to buy.
Here are some products
- Xtreme miners mining rig mini for 5+1 GPU at cost of 80$
- Xtreme miners mining rig mini d for 8+1 GPU at cost of 90$
- Cocoa mining machine rig at 80$
- 12 GPU mining bitcoin rig custom made at 70$
There are many more but this is completely a minor option, one can choose any according to the need.
pre built mining rig
There are several options when you buy a pre built mining rig, but it's a costly option. Your minimum investment on it will be 1k$ and also won't be that much good in performance wise. Pre built mining rig is also known as ASIC devices
Criterias for determining effectiveness of an ASIC miner:
A. Hash rate it defines power of mining rig, higher the value more is mining per second.
B. Energy Consumption Obviously higher hash rate will take higher energy consumption. But if you get comparatively, lower the energy consumption, better it is in saving your electricity cost.
C. Cooling fans to cool the rig is very important, Greater the cooling efficiency, better the rig.
D. Noise no one likes terrible high pitched sounds, so lower the noise, better the rig
E. Cost off course lower cost is preferred
I'll try to bring some decent one's in this category here.
Antminer S9
with a hash rate of 13.5 TH per second comes at an affordable rate of 1200$ is my recommended one if you really want a built in mining rig.Halong Dragonmint T1
with a decent hash rate of 16 TH per second and a handy price of 900$, this is the choice of mining rig if your electricity charges are not high as this model electricity consumption is very high.Gekkoscience Terminus R606 pod miner
With a low hash rate of 1TH per second and cost effective pricing of $400 can make anyone a miner but not at a professional and big level.
- Antminer T9+ Bitcoin & Bitcoin cash miner
With a hash rate of 12.5 TH per second and relatively cheaper than antminer s9, also with energy efficient performance makes it a good option at price of $1100
- ASICMINER Block Erupter USB Sapphire Miner
It comes with a very low hash rate of 330MH per second. Although it seems too low but since it's USB based plug and play, very easy to move and low energy costs, a casual miner can look into it at a cost of $100.
Overall i don't really recommend opting for ASIC miners in current scenario but these are the options if you don't want any work to do in setting these up. Antminer s19 is the newest in the category but cost is way too high at $13k and hash rate multiple with respect to antminer s9 doesn't seems justified at 110TH per second, that's why I didn't included it in my recommendations.
So the best option currently is to buy each component separately and assemble them in a mining rig built by your own at very less cost or you can also order custom made rigs.
That's it from today's post. In next post I'll discuss about rest
other requirements. Thanks for having your patience to read and always supporting me. I'm collecting data from various places to combine in one place so that you won't have any issues while looking for stuffs related to cryptocurrency mining.
I'm coming back soon with the next post, till then stay safe and keep your family safe.

Bhai aapke pass konsa miner h 😉
Btw, very informative post, make sure you use licence free images, and source them correctly, not every image on google is copyright free and can lead you to downvotes on hive. An advice from a friend.
Thanks for suggestions, mai to phone se hi mining karta hoon.
