For those with a smaller budget, it would take a single Antminer S19 Pro (an older generation, but widely available unit) a total of 1,356 days to generate 1 BTC in rewards when working with a mining pool—that's the equivalent of generating 0.00073 BTC/day in rewards, or around $13.28/day at current prices ($18,200/BTC ...Dec 24, 2020

There is currently no way to mine just one bitcoin. Instead, crypto miners will mine one block, with the reward currently being set at 6.25 BTC per block. Each block takes 10 minutes to mine. This means that in theory, it will take just 10 minutes to mine 1 BTC (as part of the 6.25 BTC reward).6 days ago

Scrypt ASIC Miners

If you can afford it, consider buying an ASIC miner, as it is more profitable than a GPU. The top ASIC miners for Dogecoin mining are currently: Bitmain Antminer L3.

Dogecoin is based on Scrypt algorithm, and the transaction process is more convenient than Bitcoin. Dogecoin takes only 1 minute to confirm, while BTC takes 10 minutes.

Note that Scrypt ASICs can also be used to mine other coins based on the same algorithm; you can choose the most profitable coin to mine based on relative price and difficulty (a parameter the network sets to make sure a new block is mined every 2.5 minutes on average, whatever the total hash power).

• The Antminer s9 is the most expensive miner on the market The price of the Antmier s9 varies a lot. On Bitmain’s site you can buy it for $2400 or at a similar price on Coinminer. On Amazon you can find it for as little as $2700 and on eBay you can get it for as little as $2000 (so that’s probably the best place to look).

• Each AntMiner S9 requires TEN 6-pin PCI-e connectors for 12V DC input (must be very stable power source). There are three hash boards that each require THREE 6-pin PCI-e power connectors and one additional 6-pin PCI-e power connector on the controller.

• The Antminer s9 the most powerful miner available on the market. The Antminer s9 has a hash rate of 12.93TH/s -+ 7% (and not 14 TH/s as advertised sometimes), which means that it can generate around 0.5 Bitcoins every month.

• According to a post on Bitmain-owned Antminer’s WeChat, 10,000 Antminers at a mining farm in Inner Mongolia were “illegally moved” in mid-July by former Bitmain staff, causing “severe financial damage to Bitmain and its customers”. What has happened to the Antminers?

Bitmain’s Antminers are a major contributor to the world’s hashing power. The Antminer S9, the company's flagship, produced approximately 23% of the world’s hashing power according to a report by CoinMetrics .

You need an additional PSU to run the Antminer s9 The Antminer s9 can’t just be plugged into the wall, it needs a PSU (power supply unit). So whenever you purchase an Antminer keep in mind that you will need to spend and additional $150 on a PSU.
