$ 1,600 costs the most electrically efficient mining card for Ethereum

The American company Osprey Mining announced the launch of its new card to mine Ethereum and other alternative cryptocurrencies. The device has attracted the attention of the ecosystem for its electrical efficiency, as well as its high price, which is close to $ 1,600 per unit.. Unlike other graphics cards (GPUs) used to mine Ethereum – such as those from AMD and Nvidia – Osprey’s ECU50 is an FPGA device. This technology is reprogrammable and can be used to do very specific tasks, such as mining the algorithm of a blockchain.. The ECU50 is compatible with Ethereum’s Ethash algorithm, and achieves a hash rate of 41 MH / s with an electrical power of 75 watts. Also, the card has 8GB RAM and a cooling system with 2 fans, as well as a copper structure.. As it is reprogrammable, it is compatible with various cryptocurrency algorithms. In the same way, it can be used as a video card in data centers or for video games. That is, it is very flexible in terms of its functions and miners can adapt the card depending on whether mining is more profitable in one network or another.. High efficiency, but little profit for Ethereum mining. Although these features optimize cryptocurrency mining, miners on social networks have criticized the high price of the device....
