Welcome to the World of Cryptocurrency Mining

Are you an adventurous miner looking to explore the depths of the cryptocurrency mining world? If yes, then you will enjoy today’s article where we delve into a comparison between the ks Z and the brand-new ks Z Pro, recently released by Ice River. The ks Z Pro, touted as the upgraded sibling of the original ks Z, has been making waves in the market. Let’s dive into the details together and see how the two versions stack up against each other.

The Legacy of the Ice River ks Z

Within the last few weeks, Ice River released a new version of their original ks Z. The legacy version has been a staple for miners, especially those who favor minimal changes, retaining its default settings. This model achieves approximately 100 gigahash, and the Watts consumed are 68.9 or 68.4, a little above Ice River’s advertised 65 Watts on their website. Surprisingly, its power consumption is equivalent to a single light bulb, making it efficient and sustainable.

Ice River ks0 Performance and Yield

As of November 13th, without considering electric costs, the Ice River ks0 yields about .92 per day in Caspa. This means that the total yield currently is just over 23 Caspa. However, let’s add a more exhilarating twist: comparing this guy with the ks0 Pro. Before we venture further into the deeper mines, it’s noteworthy that the original Ice River ks0 runs quite hot. From the surface temperature, it reads from 101 to 108.1 Fahrenheit, which can be a cause of concern for miners.

Unveiling the Prodigy: Ice River ks0 Pro

The packaging is typical for Ice River, and with every new unit, you get a fancy smancy adapter. This new version, ks0 Pro, is equipped with a power supply that supports 120 watts. Though this increased power capacity might raise eyebrows given the unit’s compact size, the performance it delivers is impressive.

Identifying ks0 Pro Features

The ks0 Pro, compared to its predecessor, the original ks0, comes with a few functional changes. One primary difference is the ethernet and USB ports are now located on the front side of the unit. The back houses a type-c Port for power, and an SD card slot, a feature missing in the regular ks Z model.

Checking the Performance of ks0 Pro

Having set up and connected the ks0 Pro, we can now delve into its detailed performance review. The Ice River ks0 Pro is priced at $429, excluding shipping and import tax. Though expensive, the device constitutes only 100 Watts, a little more than the ks0 but still sustainable for long-term use. Ice River’s website quotes it to achieve “200 gigahash plus or minus 10% and 100 Watts plus or minus 10%”.

Comparing the ks0 and the ks0 Pro

Considering an approximate electric cost of 10 cents, the original unit yields $1.76 income per day while the ks0 Pro earns $3.60 per day. Even at 5 cents, the profits remain commendable. The ks0 Pro, having higher wattage and yield, undeniably provides robust performance and ample earnings.

Maximizing ks0 Pro Usage

However, the peculiar thing about the ks0 Pro is that despite its size, it can heat up to 124-degree Fahrenheit or 50-degree Celsius, significantly hotter than the ks0. To ensure the device’s safety and longevity, it is advisable to equip the unit with a 120 mm fan, the AC Infinity multifan being a popular choice.

Conclusion

Conclusively, while both the Ice River ks0 and the ks0 Pro provide excellent performance for cryptocurrency mining, the ks0 Pro steps up the game with higher yield and power, despite the extra heat. Although the price is a bit steep, the return on investment, especially in terms of Caspa yield, makes it a worthy investment.

Do your due diligence, consider the additional costs and make the most informed decision. Most of all, enjoy the thrill of mining and the yield of your efforts. If you opt for ks0 Pro, ensure you have extra cooling measures in place to cater to the heat it generates. Keep mining and exploring!
