DIY is largely for entertainment or learning purpose these days.

If you are serious about striking a profit, you will have to go with one of those commercial ASICs.

Efficiency wise, S9 is the no-brainer to go. Followed by T9/A7/E9 pretty much at a second-tier but still decent level. Do note that the later 3 all have noticeably more improved reliability over S9.

Having access to cheap power is also critical. GL.

for sure if compare with S7-S9...
what is the best for mining hardware since bitcoin difficulty very high...
i try some altcoin but still no good result

At this moment, nothing tops the S9 (afaik) when talking about Joule/Ghs. That being said, you'll still need a sub 7 cents/Kwu electricity rate if you want a shot at making profit (there are many other factors, but the electricity rate is the biggest)

Very badly outdated by now.

thanks good to know.  is there a current version that's similar?


sidehack is making usbsticks using more recent chips... However, if you calculate the hashrate vs the power usage plus the extra costs for a controller and a powered usb hub, i don't think they can compete with an S7-S9 (didn't bother to do the math)...
Sidehack does a great job, but AFAIK, his sticks are best for hobby miners, education or playing blockchain lotto.
