ASIC vs GPU Mining
ASICs
Purpose-built for mining with higher efficiency and hashrate. Best for dedicated miners with lower electricity costs.
GPUs
Versatile and resellable. Lower initial efficiency but can mine multiple algorithms. Good for hobbyists.
Understanding Efficiency
Efficiency is measured in Joules per Megahash (J/MH). Lower is better.
The most efficient hardware minimizes electricity costs per ETC mined. This becomes critical as difficulty increases.
Profitability depends on your electricity rate. At higher rates (>$0.15/kWh), only the most efficient hardware may be profitable.
