Dash DASH

At 5¢/kWh the most profitable Dash miner today, the Bitmain Antminer D9 (1770Gh), earns about $6.08 a day and burns $3.41 of electricity, leaving about $2.67 a day. 2 of 25 X11 miners we track are profitable at that price. Set your own power price above and the whole page recalculates.

Ranked by profit per day at 5¢/kWh: Bitmain Antminer D9 (1770Gh) ($2.67/day, 1.77 TH/s at 2,839 W), Bitmain Antminer D7 (1286Gh) ($0.642/day, 1.29 TH/s at 3,148 W), Baikal Mini Miner ($0/day, 150 MH/s at 40 W). The most efficient machine we track is the Bitmain Antminer D9 (1770Gh) at 1.60 J/GH; cheap power favours raw hashrate, expensive power favours efficiency, so the order changes with your price.

At today's price and difficulty the Bitmain Antminer D9 (1770Gh) breaks even at about 8.9¢ per kWh: above that it costs more to run than it earns. Pool fees (usually 1-4%), cooling and any hosting margin come on top, so plan with a buffer. Of the 25 machines we track, 2 are in profit at 3¢/kWh, 1 at 6¢ and 0 at 10¢, which is why miners chase cheap power.

The Bitmain Antminer D9 (1770Gh), at 1.77 TH/s, mines about 0.121 DASH a day today, worth $6.08. That is 0.054% of the network's 3.27 PH/s. The whole network mints about 227.6 DASH a day ($11,464), and every miner earns its share of hashrate.

On its own, one Bitmain Antminer D9 (1770Gh) would find a Dash block about once every 3 days on average, and luck can stretch that a long way. With blocks this frequent, even a single machine gets regular rewards; pools still smooth the payouts. FPPS and PPS+ pools pay a fixed amount per share (fees often 2-4%), PPLNS pools pay out only when the pool finds a block (often 0-2%, but lumpier).

Right now each block pays about 0.411 DASH including fees, with a block every 3 minutes on average, about 227.6 DASH a day. 12.80 million of the 18.90 million maximum are already out (68%).

X11 chains 11 different hash functions (BLAKE, BMW, Groestl, JH, Keccak, Skein, Luffa, CubeHash, SHAvite, SIMD and ECHO). Dash introduced it in 2014; ASICs (Bitmain D series, iBeLink) have mined it since 2016. We track 25 X11 machines; judge them by J/GH (efficiency) against your power price, then by price per GH, cooling type and the warranty and repair options where you will run them.

One megawatt of power runs about 352 Bitmain Antminer D9 (1770Gh) units. At 5¢/kWh that is roughly $28,605 a month in profit before pool fees, cooling overhead and staff. That fleet would add about 19% to the network's hashrate, so once difficulty catches up every machine earns roughly that much less. Site profit is very sensitive to the power price: every 1¢/kWh costs about $7,296 a month at one megawatt. CryptoSites.io lists powered land, container farms and hosting with the power price on every listing.

Pick a machine for your power price (see the table above), then sort out power and cooling: most ASICs need 200-277 V at 10-30 A each, hydro models usually 380-415 V three-phase and a cooling loop, and air-cooled units are too loud for a home. Set up a Dash wallet, point the machine at a pool, and watch temperatures in the first days. If you don't have cheap power and space, hosting is the usual route: a host runs the machine for an all-in price per kWh. CryptoSites.io lists both powered sites and hosting.
