Introduction to Bitcoin ASIC Miner and Wadom
In this article, we will be discussing the unboxing and plans for the very first Bitcoin ASIC miner, the Antminer S19J Pro, and how it can fit in a home setting for mining enthusiasts. This video is sponsored by the team over at Wadom.io – a complete Bitcoin mining solutions provider and the largest distributor of Bitcoin mining equipment in the United States.
Unboxing of the Antminer S19J Pro
The Antminer S19J Pro is a flagship Bitcoin ASIC miner from Bitmain, with a hash rate of 104 terahash and power consumption of 3060 watts. It weighs a little over 20 pounds and has triple fans for cooling on its intake and exhaust sides.
The unboxing reveals a well-packaged unit, with fans on the front and sides for maximum cooling efficiency. In addition, the front of the miner features an IP report button, Ethernet port, fault, and normal ports along with a reset button.
Profitability and Mining Performance
Based on current market rates and electricity costs, the Antminer S19J Pro is estimated to generate a daily profit of $67.00, which translates to approximately $470 per month and $5,600 per year. However, these numbers are dependent on the current price of Bitcoin and mining difficulty, which are subject to change.
Challenges of Home Mining with the Antminer S19J Pro
While the profitability of the Antminer S19J Pro is impressive, the challenges of setting up and managing this powerful machine in a home setting need to be carefully considered. These challenges include:
Noise and Heat
The Antminer S19J Pro produces significant noise due to its fans’ high speed, making it difficult to place it in a typical home or garage setup without causing disturbance. Furthermore, the miner generates a considerable amount of heat, which must be effectively managed to maintain the machine’s performance and prevent overheating.
Setting up a Mining Shed
To overcome these challenges, the use of a dedicated mining shed can provide an ideal solution in managing noise and heat. The Rubicon Plastic Garden Storage Shed, measuring 6×8 feet, is one such option.
By installing this mining-centric shed outside of the home, the noise and heat generated by the Antminer S19J Pro can be effectively managed. It is also recommended to install insulation and additional ventilation systems in the shed for optimal airflow and temperature control.
Optimizing Airflow with Crypto Cloaks and AC Infinity Fans
To further reduce noise and ensure efficient cooling, the use of specialized airflow components is highly recommended. Crypto Cloaks produce a 3D printed Antminer Dual-to-8-inch attachment, which channels the airflow from the miner’s dual fans into an 8-inch diameter ducting. This can then be connected to an AC Infinity Cloudline T8 inline fan, capable of moving 800 cubic feet per minute (CFM) of air at a relatively quiet 39 decibels (dBA).
By installing this specially designed airflow system on both the intake and exhaust sides of the Antminer S19J Pro, it is possible to significantly reduce noise levels while still maintaining optimal cooling efficiency.
Conclusion
The Antminer S19J Pro heralds an era of high-performance and profitability in Bitcoin ASIC mining. However, for home miners, it is essential to effectively manage the challenges posed by noise and heat to ensure optimal mining performance.
Through careful planning, the use of dedicated mining sheds, and specialized airflow components, mining enthusiasts can enjoy the benefits of the powerful Antminer S19J Pro while maintaining peace at home.

With me paying 0.14 k/wh in electricity doesn't seem like I could make any profit mining BTC
Hey The Hobbyist, I just got two of these miners. How do I contact you as I have some few questions? Appreciate your usual response
I wish i could do a shed. I live in Arizona. I don’t think the outside air will help cool anything.
I went to that website you have in link for an asic and that form is ridiculous. It says I need to enter budget and no matter how I write my budget. Any ideas?
When you first turned it on, it reminded me of the start of Korn's shoots and ladders…lol. The bag pipes.
Cool video. Heard a lot of people dissing these. I don't mine nor do I know much. Thinking about building a cheap miner and using rx580 8gb cards. Seems to be the best bang for the buck on marketplace.
Can you mine bitcoin cash with it 🤔
Congratulations! I am so excited to see the new content that will come from this!
hobbiest, i have an asic mining warehouse in royersford PA! lets link up and i want to show u our set up
Aaah im so jealous.. I really would like to atleast have ONE asic in my life.. 😛
So much for a “hobbyist” miner LOL
What did you pay for this miner?
Is everyone selling there gpus for asics?
I plan on getting a couple, and maybe a couple of the new litecoin miners. Undecided still
Happy Building! Excited to see the build progress!
I wonder why he didn’t even mention his hash rate no roi no nothing!!! Nothing but how a company sent him a free minor and how he is going to go do some research to make us some content??!! Lmfao!! Number one I want to how they are able to give a $10,000 machine away for free I guess they’re counting on his YouTube viewers buying a bunch of machines I guess. I don’t know the whole situation seems stinky to me
OMG it sounds like a jet engine inside your house…
I'm looking at an asic myself just scared to make that jump. Doesn't seem to make sense unless you buy a couple
He went from cheap efficient old gpus to balling out on a asic miner lol congrats what can I buy with 4k$
whats the price to buy one?
Mate my rig goes offline sometimes on lan connection, I'm going switch to wifi adaptor, are u still using it? Are they good?
$15 a day for $10,000…
Uh. That is 2 years ROI?
Would it even be viable by then?
