I am starting a series on CKB mining. In this first post, let’s go over what I purchased to begin mining CKB.
Most people can’t drop 8k on a miner to become part of the Nervos Network unless they are starting a business. Fortunately, Goldshell created a great entry into CKB mining with their CK-BOX.
The CK-BOX only costs 699.00 and requires a PSU to power it (sold separately). I purchased one used off eBay. Let’s go over the Parts List as shown below:
CK-BOX - $699.00
Bitmain Power Supply $147.88
Indoor Thermometer $9.97
Ethernet Cable $6.99
Power cord $10.00
Total Cost - $873.84
NOTE: All parts for my CK-BOX are shown below:
At today’s prices (see below), I will earn after electricity $2.62 a day or $78.00 per month/ $943.00 per year. My one year profit will be 69.16 with CKB at a price of 0.0192. The higher CKB gets this year, the more my profit will become. In addition, I can purchase additional miners and hook them up to my BITMAIN PSU.
In my next post, we will hook everything up and begin the configuration process.
Guys, help me understand something...why do you want to spend $700+ on a ASIC (only mines one coin, which as of today is only worth $.03/ea) when you can just buy a cheaper GPU like a AMD rx560-580 or a nvidia GTX 1080ti or similar and mine something like ETH, ETC, FLUX and then exchange it for CKB? isnt that a much better return on your investment?
I guess one would need to know how much CKB these goldshell miners are mining per day? but, even still...
Where is a good place to buy CK-Box or CK5?
Goldshell is out of stock.
