If you buy Innosilicon A10 for Ethereum mining, it will be $5. We must say that this is a huge step in mining hardware development. <a href=\"https:\/\/2miners.com\/blog\/asic-miners-for-ethereum-antminer-e3-vs-innosilicon-a10-eth-master-comparison\/\">All previously released<\/a> ASIC devices or GPU mining rigs were giving you 1Mh\/s for $9-10. That means A10 is 2 times more effective than an ordinary mining rig. Moreover, you must keep in mind, that it takes\u00a0a lot of time and effort to build a mining rig. If you build a mining rig from used hardware the 1Mh\/s price would be about the same as for Innosicilon A10.<\/p>\n<p>8-GPU NVIDIA 1070 mining rig roughly estimated power is 1000W, while Innosilicon A10 requires just 750W. This mining rig gives you 250Mh\/s on Ethereum while hashrate of A10 is 500Mh\/s. We must admit that this ASIC is not only cheaper than a GPU mining rig but it is also more than 2 times more energy efficient. The main drawback of any ASIC device is still the impossibility to sell it after usage. Moreover, it would be much harder to repair ASIC than the mining rig. Read our post\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/2miners.com\/blog\/asic-vs-gpu-mining-rig-what-is-better\/\">ASIC vs. GPU Mining Rig: What is Better?<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><strong>How to Set Up\u00a0Innosilicon A10<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>On 2Miners you could mine both Ethereum and Ethereum Classic cryptocurrencies using Innosilicon A10. We would not recommend you using SOLO mode if you have just one A10 device. It is better if you join PPLNS pool to get constant and stable rewards. <a href=\"https:\/\/2cryptocalc.com\/\">2CryptoCalc<\/a> will help you define the approximate daily reward and also the average time to find a cryptocurrency block in SOLO mode. We would recommend you to choose SOLO mining, only if you could find at least 1-2 blocks a day on average. Therefore it requires at least ten Innosilicon A10 machines for ETC and nearly a hundred machines for ETH.<\/p>\n<p>Settings could always be found on the <a href=\"https:\/\/eth.2miners.com\/\">help page<\/a> of every coin.<\/p>\n<p>Asic settings for Ethereum mining:<\/p>\n<pre>URL: stratum+tcp:\/\/eth.2miners.com:2020\r\nWorker: YOUR_ADDRESS.ASIC_ID\r\nPassword: x\r\n\r\n<\/pre>\n<p>Asic settings for Ethereum Classic mining:<\/p>\n<pre>URL: stratum+tcp:\/\/etc.2miners.com:1010\r\nWorker: YOUR_ADDRESS.ASIC_ID\r\nPassword: x\r\n\r\n<\/pre>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2041\" src=\"https:\/\/2miners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/innosilicon-screenshot.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"307\" data-wp-pid=\"2041\" srcset=\"https:\/\/2miners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/innosilicon-screenshot.png 1280w, https:\/\/2miners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/innosilicon-screenshot-300x72.png 300w, https:\/\/2miners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/innosilicon-screenshot-768x184.png 768w, https:\/\/2miners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/innosilicon-screenshot-1024x246.png 1024w, https:\/\/2miners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/innosilicon-screenshot-800x192.png 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Please wait for the ASIC to speed up.
