Cryptocurrency Mining Insights: Guides, Hardware and Running Costs

Two pieces here are worth reading before the rest: the ASIC miner buying guide, which works out the electricity price above which a given machine cannot pay for itself, and the S21 Pro versus SealMiner A2 Pro Air head-to-head, which is a worked example of the same arithmetic on two machines we actually stock. Everything else below hangs off those two. If you would rather look at hardware than read, the used ASIC miners and new ASIC miners categories are the two ends of the catalogue.
