MINING ALGORITHMS EXPLAINED
Each algorithm requires its own dedicated ASIC chip. Choosing the right algorithm means choosing the right Antminer family for your goals.
SHA-256 Algorithm
Bitcoin Mining
₿ Bitcoin💚 Bitcoin CashBSV
SHA-256 (Secure Hash Algorithm 256-bit) is Bitcoin’s proof-of-work algorithm. The most competitive and profitable mining algorithm in the world. Antminer S series are purpose-built for SHA-256 — no other hardware can compete.
S23 HYD580 Th/s9.5 J/T
S21 XP Hyd473 Th/s12 J/T
S21 Pro234 Th/s15 J/T
Scrypt Algorithm
LTC + DOGE Mining
Ł LitecoinÐ DogecoinBELLS
Scrypt was designed to be more memory-intensive than SHA-256 and was adopted by Litecoin. Merged mining means a single Scrypt ASIC simultaneously mines both Litecoin and Dogecoin — effectively doubling your earning potential at zero extra power cost.

KHeavyHash Algorithm
Kaspa Mining
🔷 Kaspa
KHeavyHash is Kaspa’s memory-hard PoW algorithm, designed to be ASIC-friendly while maintaining decentralization. Kaspa (KAS) is one of the fastest-growing PoW networks with BlockDAG architecture allowing sub-second confirmation times.

KS520 Th/s150 J/Th
Equihash Algorithm
Zcash Mining
💎 Zcash (ZEC)
Equihash is a memory-hard proof-of-work algorithm used by Zcash. It was originally designed to be resistant to ASICs, but Bitmain’s Z series miners have become the dominant hardware for Equihash mining — delivering massive efficiency advantages over GPU mining.

Frequently Asked
ASIC MINER FAQ
What is a Bitmain ASIC miner?
+
An ASIC (Application-Specific Integrated Circuit) miner is a computer chip designed to do exactly one thing — perform the hashing function required to mine a specific cryptocurrency. Bitmain’s Antminer series are the world’s most popular ASIC miners, built on advanced 5nm and 7nm chip processes for maximum efficiency in SHA-256 Bitcoin mining.
What’s the difference between air-cooled and hydro-cooled Antminers?
+
Air-cooled miners use high-speed fans to dissipate heat and work in standard environments. Hydro-cooled miners use a closed-loop water cooling system, which enables much higher power throughput, better efficiency (lower J/T), and quieter operation — but require cooling loop infrastructure, making them suited for professional mining facilities.
Which Antminer has the best efficiency in 2025?
+
The 2025 flagship Antminer S23 HYD leads with 9.5 J/T (the first Bitmain miner to break into single-digit joules per terahash). For air-cooled models, the Antminer S21 Pro at 15 J/T offers the best efficiency. For pure hashrate, the S23 HYD delivers 580 Th/s — over 3× the S9‘s hashrate at 1/10th the energy per hash.
Can I mine Litecoin and Dogecoin simultaneously?
+
Yes — this is called merged mining and it’s a key advantage of the Scrypt algorithm. The Antminer L7, L9, and L11 Pro all mine Litecoin and Dogecoin at the same time using the same power draw. You configure both pool addresses in the miner settings and receive rewards from both networks simultaneously.
How long does an Antminer last?
+
A properly maintained Antminer in a clean, temperature-controlled environment typically runs reliably for 3–5+ years. The main degradation factors are dust accumulation, fan bearing wear, and thermal stress from high ambient temperatures. New miners from BitmainShop.us come with 365-day Bitmain manufacturer warranty plus our in-house support.
Do I need special power to run an Antminer?
+
Most S21 and newer Antminer models require 220–277V AC power (not standard 110V US household power). You’ll need a PDU (power distribution unit) rated for the miner’s wattage. S9 and some older models can run on 110V. Always verify voltage requirements before ordering — our support team can advise on your specific setup.
What mining pool should I use with my Antminer?
+
AntPool is the natural choice for Antminer owners — it’s Bitmain’s own pool and offers both FPPS (2.5% fee, stable income) and PPLNS (0% fee, variable) payout modes. Other solid US options include Foundry USA Pool, Luxor, and ViaBTC. We recommend FPPS for smaller operations for predictable daily income.
Are the Antminers from BitmainShop.us genuine?
+
100% guaranteed. Every unit’s Bitmain serial number is cross-checked against Bitmain’s official manufacturer database before we ship. We include authentication certificates with every order. You can verify your unit’s serial number on our warranty page after receiving it. We carry zero counterfeit or cloned hardware.
What’s the easiest Antminer to set up for beginners?
+
The Antminer S21 200T is the most beginner-friendly current model. It’s air-cooled (no special infrastructure), runs on standard 220V, and has Bitmain’s clean web interface for configuration. You access the miner’s IP address in a browser, enter your mining pool’s stratum address, set your wallet address, and you’re mining within 5 minutes of plugging in.
