Okay, gather ‘round, crypto nerds! 🤑 At a cool $0.04 per kilowatt-hour (kWh), the Bitcoin mining game is basically a high-stakes episode of *Survivor*-except instead of immunity, the prize is cold, hard crypto. 🪨 High-hashrate hydro units are flexing like they own the place, but don’t sleep on those efficient air and immersion rigs-they’re the underdogs with a killer side hustle. 💦
The Four-Cent Test: Which Bitcoin Mining Rigs Are Still Hot (and Which Are Not) 🔥❄️
Drumroll, please… 🥁 The crown goes to Bitmain’s Antminer S23 Hydro 3U, the Beyoncé of miners, clocking in at 1,160 TH/s and 11,020 W. It’s raking in $50.06 a day-basically a latte habit for the rich and hash-y. ☕ But hold your horses, it won’t hit the shelves until January 2026. Because, you know, suspense. ⏳
Runner-up? Bitmain’s Antminer S21e XP Hydro 3U, the slightly less flashy but still impressive sibling, with 860 TH/s and 11,180 W. It’s making $34.23/day, which is still more than your side hustle selling NFTs of your cat. 🐱 Physics and math are having a moment here, folks. 🤓
Third place goes to the Proto Rig, the custom-class brute from Block. It’s a bit of a power hog at 12,000 W, but with 819 TH/s, it’s still pulling in $31.30/day. If you’ve got the juice, it’s got the moves. 💃
Bitdeer’s Sealminer A3 Pro Hydro slides into fourth with 660 TH/s, 8,250 W, and $26.58/day. It’s like the mid-size sedan of miners-reliable, efficient, and not trying too hard. 🚗 Right behind it, the Antminer S23 Hydro (non-3U) is proving you don’t need a four-figure TH/s to stay in the game. 🏆
Auradine’s Teraflux AH3880 is the wildcard here: 600 TH/s, 10,740 W, and $21.06/day. It’s the friend who’s always “just as good” but never gets the spotlight. 🌟
Mid-pack, it’s a real squeeze. 🧼 Canaan’s Avalon A1566HA 2U and MicroBT’s Whatsminer M63S++ are basically tied at $17.35/day, but one’s a power guzzler and the other’s a lean, mean, hashing machine. It’s like comparing a V8 engine to a Prius-both get you there, but one’s louder. 🛣️
And then there’s the Antminer S9 series, the grandpa of miners. 🧓 Once the king of the hill, now it’s losing money faster than a bad Tinder date. 💸 Negative returns? Ouch. Time to retire, grandpa. 🏠
The moral of the story? Hydro-cooled rigs are the cool kids now, but efficiency is the real MVP. 💧 Whether you’re Team Bitmain, Team Bitdeer, or just here for the memes, one thing’s clear: at $0.04/kWh, the only thing getting burned is the competition. 🔥
