Energy Efficient Crypto Miners Maximize Profits

ASICRUN

ASICRUN has recently introduced three energy efficient crypto miners that are helping users maximize their mining profits. These power-packed ASIC miners are capable of mining Bitcoin, Litecoin, and Dash, delivering unmatched performance and ease of use. Most Powerful Miners AR1, AR2, and EliteAR miners from ASICRUN are arguably the most powerful mining rigs ever because of their high hash rates. Many industry experts strongly believe that the hash rates of these mining rigs are unprecedented in the industry. AR1 Miner: Bitcoin 1050 TH/s, Litecoin/Doge 400 GH/s, Dash 20 TH/s AR2 Miner: Bitcoin 2200 TH/s, Litecoin/Doge 900 GH/s, Dash 45 TH/s EliteAR Miner: Bitcoin 4900 TH/s, Litecoin/Doge 2200 GH/s, Dash 100 TH/s Energy Efficiency and Profit Maximization Though ASICRUN miners have very high processing power, their energy consumptions are moderate. AR1, AR2, and EliteAR have consumptions of 650 W, 1300 W, and 2800 W, respectively, translating into monthly energy expenditures ranging from $50 to $250 only. This is a key factor behind the high profitability of ASICRUN miners. Mentioned below are the projected monthly profits for AR1, AR2, and EliteAR. Another important advantage of ASICRUN miners is their ease of use. Unlike any other mining hardware designed so far, the rigs from ASICRUN require no prior mining experience or knowledge. This has allowed many common mining enthusiasts to start crypto mining successfully. To maximize mining profits of its customers, ASICRUN covers the delivery and custom fees for them. The products are delivered across the globe within just seven days. The company also provides comprehensive warranty coverage for all hardware and software problems. “High energy cost has always been an obstacle to profitable mining for many.

ASICRUN

ASICRUN is well and truly on its way to causing a serious disruption in the crypto mining market. The company’s new AR1, AR2, and EliteAR miners have taken mining efficiency to unforeseen levels with their high hash rates. Market Leading Hash Rates *AR1 Miner: Bitcoin 1050 TH/s, Litecoin/Doge 400 GH/s, Dash 20 TH/s *AR2 Miner: Bitcoin 2200 TH/s, Litecoin/Doge 900 GH/s, Dash 45 TH/s *EliteAR Miner: Bitcoin 4900 TH/s, Litecoin/Doge2200 GH/s, Dash 100 TH/s Power Consumption: AR1 Miner: 650 W, AR2 Miner: 1300 W, and EliteAR Miner: 2800 W Potential Mining Profits As a result of their superior hash rates, ASICRUN miners are capable of earning block rewards with considerable ease compared to other miners.

In spite of the growing popularity of crypto mining, common people have not been able to benefit from it because of its complexity. ASICRUN is looking to bring a paradigm shift here by creating a suite of hardware that can be used by all. These plug-and-play mining rigs come preconfigured, and only need to be connected to a power source to start mining. There isn’t a great deal of additional expenses involved because these machines have minimum system requirements. The company has its own mining pool that can be accessed for free by all its customers. ASICRUN delivers its miners all over world with a delivery time of just 7 working days. Buyers pay nothing for delivery and customs because both these fees are covered by the company. All purchased products come with comprehensive warranty against all software and hardware related problems. “Gone are the days where only seasoned pros could profit from crypto mining. Our advanced ASIC miners were designed with the goal of opening up the market by allowing everyone to be part of the fun,” said Matias Kotila, CTO from ASICRUN.
