The bitcoin grows again, along with the altcoins, which can still be mined with the help of mining farms. Here we will talk about them in this article as simple as possible.

The main difference from an ordinary computer is the number of video cards that are actually engaged in the production of crypto currency. As a result, adding video cards to the system, its power consumption is increased, and a power supply unit or more is needed or increased. Why is it in the open case? The fact is that mining crypto currency, loads the video card by 100%, naturally its temperature rises and needs to be cooled somehow.

Is it possible to mine on a home PC? Of course, you can even insert a few graphics cards, although you need to see that the power supply is enough.

There is also the kind of farms, for the mining Bitcoin, Lightcoin, Dash, they are digging through devices grounded on one algorithm called ASIK. It can cost 4 thousand dollars, but it pays off quickly, if it does not break, of course.

This is how the mining farm looks like, in fact it is already industrial mining, rather than handicraft assemblages of folk craftsmen.

CPU for Zcash

In this article, we decided to do a small review of the hasht of the processors for the Zcash mining. Only I want to say at once that this currency should be extracted only on cards, the processor is better to throw on Monero and other currencies based on the algorithm Cryptonight for it is more profitable.

By the way, I was surprised that the Intel processor, it's much better than the Equihash minibooker than AMD, but the latter are better mined by Monero. Let's estimate by income for example:
AMD CPU Ryzen 7 1700X gives out on the algorithm Cryptonight 610 H / s, which as of November 25, 2017 is the income from one dollar:
