ASIC miner manufacturers wants to make each new device more profitable by increasing the hashrate, reducing power consumption, cost of the device and choosing the most optimal algorithm for mining cryptocurrency.

While metriks like power consumption, cost, and hashrate everything is quite simple to understand there are difficulties with the choice of algorithm. In order to calculate the potential profit of an ASIC miner, you need to look at all the coins that he can mine on this algorithm and select the most profitable one.

This problem solves this table. It displays the potential profit of the device, taking into account the most profitable coin for this ASIC and algorithm.

In addition to the potential profit that a miner can bring you, it is important to consider the most important parameter — ROI(Return On Investment). Also, when choosing ASIC for buying, you need to pay attention to the following parameters:

• algorithm
• power consumption
• hash-power
• noice

After calculating the ASIC payback (ROI), it is necessary to compare it with the mining on video cards or cloud mining, because this can be more efficient. Read more in the article.
