As we all know, most of the digital currencies currently on the market are initially obtained through mining. If you want to mine the digital currency you want, you need to use the corresponding mining machine. For example, for Bitcoin, you need a Bitcoin mining machine. To be able to mine Bitcoin, Antminer can now be said to be the leader among digital currency mining machines. So, what exactly is Antminer? Is Antminer legal? Next, the currency circle will give you a detailed analysis of Antminer.

 What is Antminer?

Antminer is the cryptocurrency mining machine brand with the largest market share in the world, with a market share of approximately 70%. The mining machine is developed by Bitmain and has a patent in mainland China. Antminer initially only had Bitcoin mining machines, but later expanded its business to other cryptocurrencies, such as Ethereum, Dash, Litecoin, Monero, etc.

Antminer uses ASIC chips designed by Bitmain and produced by TSMC. All chips are modeled with the prefix BM. There are 3 to 4 circuit boards in each mining machine, and there are dozens of chips on the circuit board. Therefore, each Antminer can only be used to mine one or more cryptocurrencies using the same algorithm. Antminer requires specialized mining software and cannot use third-party software. In addition, due to its high power, Antminer also needs to be used with a special fire bull.

 Is Antminer legal?

Antminers are legal, but what is illegal is using Antminers to do some illegal activities. However, because Antminer has a market share of up to 70%, it is often criticized for monopolizing the cryptocurrency mining industry, which is contrary to the purpose of cryptocurrency decentralization. Among them, Monero was worried that the mining machine would monopolize the mining market. Regardless of the opposition of the Monero community, it announced a change in the mining algorithm a few days after the launch of the Monero mining machine (X3 model), so that all mining machines could not operate in the mining industry. Used to mine Monero. Bitmain also encountered its first product failure here.

 How to use Antminer:

1. You need to purchase the following things:

1. If you have a switch or router, you can ignore it.

2. There is 1 network cable, which can be ignored.

3. One power supply. It is not recommended to use a computer power supply because the output is not clear.

2. Connect the power cord and network cable and turn on the power

3. Turn on the computer and open the browser, enter the default IP of the mining machine: 192.168.1.99. Enter the default password: root, and enter the Ant management interface. Please change multiple machines to different IPs to avoid conflicts. Please refer to the figure below for modification. , save the application and refresh it. If you see the computing power displayed, it means the configuration is successful.

4. If you need to modify the machine IP address: please enter the machine management interface-Network-
Modify - Change 192.168.1.99 to another IP, such as 192.168.1.90. After modification, click "Save & Apply", and then log in to the management interface with the new IP.

5. Ant does not need to turn on the computer when working. You only need to turn on the computer when configuring or checking the status. Ant comes with a "no mining alarm system". If it detects that there is no mining, the machine will beep.
There is a small beeping sound. Please check your network status at this time.

Through the above introduction, I believe everyone has some understanding of the Antminer. Since the Antminer uses a lot of electricity and generates a lot of waste heat during operation, miners must pay attention to fire prevention and power outages when using the Antminer. At the same time, the miner During operation, a certain amount of sound will be produced, and generally mining machines operate 24 hours a day, so miners must pay attention to handling the noise to prevent it from affecting other people's rest.
