That mainly depends on which coin you want to mine and on your budget and risk appetite. As a rule of thumb: Bitcoin mining is the safest and most stable option - Bitcoin is established, the network is robust, and price and difficulty fluctuate less sharply than with smaller coins; suitable hardware is, for example, the Antminer S21. Altcoins and newer projects often offer more upside, but also higher risks (price, network, project future) - here, Scrypt miners for Litecoin/Dogecoin and Kaspa miners of the KS series are the proven choices.
Which coin is the right one is often a personal decision too: one person is a committed Bitcoiner, another deliberately wants a Kaspa miner. Run your scenario in advance through the mining calculator; we are happy to advise you on the selection via the contact page.
We carry the leading ASIC manufacturers - including Bitmain (Antminer), MicroBT (Whatsminer), Canaan (Avalon), IceRiver, Goldshell, JASMiner, iBeLink, ElphaPex, Innosilicon, iPollo, Fluminer and Pinecone. This lets us cover Bitcoin, Kaspa, Litecoin and other coins with the matching hardware in each case - from compact entry-level devices to the latest industrial ASICs.
You will find the complete, up-to-date range with all models and prices in the ASIC miner shop.
Both have their place: new devices offer the full service life and the latest efficiency, while tested used devices are cheaper to buy and therefore a faster way in. Every used miner is tested by us before sale, so you receive a working device.
Which option pays off depends on your electricity price and how long you plan to hold it. You can see current new and used devices in the shop - while stocks last.
Yes - every device is tested by us once more before delivery. For deliveries within Europe this is done at our headquarters; if a miner goes straight into hosting, we test it directly at the hosting centre. This is how we make sure you receive genuine, working hardware - new as well as tested used.
You can have devices placed directly into hosting via miner hosting. Questions about a specific device we clarify via the contact page.
The range goes from smaller entry-level devices in the low price bracket up to current industrial ASICs in the upper four-digit euro range - depending on coin, hashrate and performance class. The reason prices fluctuate lies mainly with the manufacturers and our purchasing conditions: if the manufacturers raise or lower their prices - usually in step with coin price, difficulty and demand - our conditions change accordingly.
Important to know: we do not set prices arbitrarily, but work as a dealer with a trade margin and pass on the manufacturer and market conditions. The respective current daily prices are shown right at the model in the shop; whether a device pays off at your electricity price you can check in the mining calculator.
The standard is 100% prepayment - possible by EUR bank transfer, crypto (e.g. Bitcoin or USDC) or cash against receipt. Only once payment has been received in full do we place the order and ship.
The reason is transparent: a large part of the hardware is stored in our main warehouse in Hong Kong, from where we handle shipping and import. If we were to procure and import before payment, the full risk would lie with us should an order not be accepted after all - prepayment keeps the process clean for both sides. We clarify which payment method suits your order via the contact page.
The process is clearly structured: you send an inquiry, receive a written quote, accept it and get the invoice. Only after full receipt of payment do we trigger the order.
We then ship your device from our main warehouse in Hong Kong to your destination - we handle the import and customs clearance for you. Before shipping, the hardware is checked once more, then insured and sent with tracking; you receive the tracking data from us. Alternatively, your miner goes straight into hosting, in which case shipping to you is not needed.
Yes, we ship worldwide - insured and with tracking. Shipping costs depend on the destination country and the quantity, and we quote them to you bindingly before the order.
For a specific destination and the right shipping option, it is best to get in touch via the contact page.
Yes, pickup is possible - but only after full payment; we do not offer a concurrent cash-on-pickup deal. If your desired device is already in stock with us in Germany (this happens, but is not the rule), you can pick it up promptly after payment is received.
Most devices, however, we only procure from our warehouse after your payment - in that case you pay in advance (in cash too if you wish), we order, and you arrange a second appointment for pickup. This keeps the process secured for both sides; you arrange a pickup appointment via the contact page.
By default you receive a 12-month warranty through Cryptohall24 as a German company, counted from receipt of the hardware - so you handle a warranty case directly through us and do not have to deal with the manufacturer yourself.
On request we can exclude the warranty in the purchase contract; the device is then noticeably cheaper and any handling runs through the manufacturer's warranty (with Bitmain, for example, 12 months on Bitcoin miners and 6 months on altcoin miners). The standard, however, remains the warranty through us, unless otherwise agreed. Questions on this we clarify via the contact page.
Both are possible: you can simply buy the miner and run it yourself - or have it hosted directly with us, without ever having to set it up yourself. With hosting, the device remains your property but runs in our data centre with cheap electricity instead of in your living room.
How operation works with us is shown on the miner hosting page; the devices themselves you will find in the shop.
We carry ASIC miners for the most important proof-of-work coins - above all Bitcoin (BTC), Kaspa (KAS) and Litecoin (LTC), plus other coins such as Ethereum Classic, Dash or Kadena. Each coin uses its own algorithm and needs the matching hardware for it; a Bitcoin miner cannot mine Kaspa and vice versa.
Browse directly in the categories Bitcoin miners, Kaspa miners and Litecoin miners.
Air-cooled industrial ASICs are loud - they reach roughly vacuum-cleaner level (around 70-75 dB) and are barely suitable for living spaces. Hydro miners with water cooling run noticeably quieter, and with Bitcoin, Immersion solutions do too; individual compact home devices are also quieter.
Anyone who does not want the noise at home has their devices operated in hosting - where noise level does not matter.
That depends heavily on the model and ranges from a few hundred watts for compact devices, through around 3 to 3.5 kW for air-cooled industrial ASICs, up to several kilowatts for large hydro miners - which can be well over 10 kW. And that around the clock, because a miner runs 24/7; electricity is therefore the largest ongoing cost block and decisively determines profitability.
What a specific model consumes and earns at your electricity price you can work out with the mining calculator. That is exactly why people ideally mine with cheap electricity or move their devices into hosting.
Yes - virtually all of the power an ASIC miner draws is converted into heat, which can be used for heating, for example in a workshop, basement or garage. Because of the noise, a robust location is more suitable for this than the living room.
It becomes especially interesting with cheap or self-generated electricity: anyone who puts surplus electricity from a solar system into mining heats and produces coins at the same time - our article Crypto mining with solar power shows how this works. How much a device earns in the process is estimated by the mining calculator.
