Bitmain’s Upcoming Antminer KS3 ASIC for Kaspa (KAS) is Crazy Fast

Mining

Bitmain’s upcoming Antminer KS3 ASIC miner for Kaspa (KAS) has been introduced and it boasts some loopy specs for positive, particularly in contrast to what’s already obtainable available on the market. The hashrate of the KS3 ASIC miner is supposedly 8.3 TH/s with a 3188 Watts of energy utilization, that means a 0.38 J/GHs energy effectivity. As a comparability a single RTX 3070 GPU optimized does one thing like 600 MH/s at 90 Watts of energy used, so a single KS3 ASIC miner is the same as round 14000 Nvidia RTX 3070 GPUs by way of hashrate and goes to be far more energy environment friendly. With the present complete community hashrate of Kaspa (KAS) at round 1.16 PH/s at this very second, doubling it with the Antminer KS3 ASIC miners would solely take similar to 140 gadgets and Bitmain ought to be producing far more than that for positive…

There isn’t a official value introduced but and Bitmain is operating a contest for customers to guess the worth, however you may anticipate it to be within the tens of 1000’s for positive. Bitmain plans to begin delivery the KS3 miners in August, that means you could anticipate an enormous spike in issue round that point as the brand new machines begin going surfing. There can be a few reductions of the block reward of KAS by that point and with the large spike within the hashrate the loopy excessive profitability of over $2500 USD per day in the mean time for the KS3 ought to be a lot decrease by the point you may really get your fingers on a miner. Bitmain in fact needs to take your cash now for the KS3.

So, FPGA mining and GPU mining for KAS will begin to fade out with ASIC miners hitting the community as it would develop into unprofitable for positive, even with the worth growing it would nonetheless be unreasonable to suppose that you just’d be capable of compete with considerably sooner and rather more energy environment friendly by way of hashrate ASIC miners. You continue to have somewhat extra time left to mine although, so don’t be fast to change to a different coin simply but. Or use the chance to stack up on some KAS cash whereas the worth is low.
