⚡ Physical or digital Bitcoin miner, which one costs less?

We ran the real numbers on five physical ASICs against a GoMining miner.

What it costs to start:

Bitaxe Gamma: $120
Fluminer T3: $1,200
Canaan Avalon Q: $1,900
Antminer S21+: $3,350
Antminer S21 Pro: $4,030
GoMining: $18.99

The bigger story is what comes next. A physical machine holds the efficiency it shipped with. A GoMining miner runs at 12 W/TH and keeps improving, power and efficiency both, on the miner you already own.

🎙️ Kirill Solovev on why Bitcoin's future runs through spenders


Our founder sat down to work through what Bitcoin is really for. The parts worth remembering:


• "Bitcoin is money. Not collateral, not digital gold on a shelf, but money."
• Bitcoin becomes money once the people holding it start spending it. He puts that step on holders first.
• Cash moved to cards because banks funded it. His pick for who funds Bitcoin payments: big cross-border companies.
• GoBTC Pay settles real Bitcoin on the main network at a 0.2% merchant fee.
• His advice to miners as rewards shrink: keep building, and learn to handle the payment flow.

⚡ Your Simple Earn rewards can now come in TH

You have a choice now: keep receiving your rewards in BTC, or switch to TH and add computing power straight to one of your NFT miners.

Right now, choosing TH gets you 10% more TH on top of your reward.

TH kicks in once a cycle's reward reaches $0.10. Smaller cycles are simply paid in BTC, and your TH setting stays on.

⛏️ Pick which miner receives your TH
⚡ Rewards build up through the day, then TH lands in one daily upgrade
🔄 Switch back to BTC whenever you like

Share your GoMining story — early access is open

Soon you’ll be able to publish your own story right inside the GoMining app: how you started, what you’ve built, what you’ve learned along the way - and get reactions from other miners reading it.

This is just the first step. More for our community inside the app is on the way.

Before we open it to everyone, we’re letting a small group of authors in early.

If you want to be one of the first people published in the app, apply here: https://forms.monday.com/forms/466d9a5ac692e51d1a10e48965ca3831?r=euc1

We’ll ask for your GoMining user ID, the email on your account, and a couple of sentences about what you’d like to write.

Applications close on 23 September. We’ll reach out to everyone we select.

⚡ In some countries, home mining barely breaks even. Electricity gets so expensive it eats almost everything a small miner earns.

So is there a way to mine Bitcoin without the power bill taking your rewards? Our updated guide answers exactly that.

⚔️ Miner Wars: two changes are live today

We are preparing the ground for the new league structure. Two things changed right now:

👥 A 50-member cap on joining a clan. The cap is soft: nobody is removed and clans already above 50 keep everyone. If a member leaves a clan that sits above 50, they cannot rejoin until it drops back under the cap.

🔁 One clan join returned to every player who has used one. The yearly allowance stays at 6, resetting on January 1. The new structure may make some of you want to move, so you get the room to do it.

Everything else runs as usual: rounds, scoring, PPS, spells, boosts, league pools, and your daily BTC mining rewards are untouched.

The new league structure comes later, and we will announce the date in advance.

Here is what it will look like: https://gomining.com/blog/miner-wars-update-the-new-league-structure?utm_source=smm_telegram&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=mw_update_21092026

⚡ Which Bitcoin mining pool should you actually join?

Shorter answer than most expect: ten pools now find over 90% of all blocks, so your pool choice barely moves how much BTC you earn. What it moves is the shape of your payments, when you get paid, who holds your coins, and how much goes to on-chain fees.

The real decision is the payout model:

• FPPS, steady income, the pool absorbs the luck
• PPLNS, lowest fees, but you carry the swings

⚔️ Miner Wars: the new league structure goes live next week

GoMiners, the biggest change to Miner Wars since launch arrives on October 6, and the race for your place in it starts tomorrow. The cycle that begins tomorrow is the last one under the current structure, and where your clan finishes decides which league it starts in.

🏛️ A much wider ladder

There are 390 places above Dune instead of 150. Odyssey has 1 league, Eclipse 3, Horizon 9 and Dune 27 divisions, with 30 clans in every league above Dune. For almost every clan, the next tier is finally within reach.

⏫ Three up, nine down

The top 3 clans of every league move up each cycle and the bottom 9 move down, so 117 clans get promoted every cycle instead of a handful. Nobody drops out of Dune. League caps stay x256 / x128 / x64 / x32.

🏁 Every place counts this cycle

Clans are placed once, by their final result this cycle, and the promotion zones count. The higher you finish, the higher you start. With the tiers much wider, a strong finish this week can put your clan a full tier above where it plays today. Placement happens only once, so there is no second chance to set your starting point.

👥 Already live

The 50-member cap on joining a clan and one returned clan join for every player went live last week. If you want to switch clans before the new structure, you still have room to do it.

🎲 Round multiplier odds

Round multiplier odds starting tomorrow:

- Odyssey → x1: 60.82% · x2: 23.84% · x4: 9.34% · x8: 3.66% · x16: 1.44% · x32: 0.56% · x64: 0.22% · x128: 0.09% · x256: 0.03%
- Eclipse → x1: 60.02% · x2: 24.02% · x4: 9.61% · x8: 3.85% · x16: 1.54% · x32: 0.62% · x64: 0.25% · x128: 0.10%
- Horizon → x1: 58.76% · x2: 24.31% · x4: 10.05% · x8: 4.16% · x16: 1.72% · x32: 0.71% · x64: 0.29%
- Dune → x1: 56.62% · x2: 24.79% · x4: 10.85% · x8: 4.75% · x16: 2.08% · x32: 0.91%

Rounds, scoring, PPS, spells, boosts and your daily BTC mining rewards work exactly as before.

Make this cycle count. Thanks for helping us keep Miner Wars competitive and fun for everyone ⚔️
