Track your altcoin/BTC investment portfolio with Google Spreadsheets
Investments in crypto-currencies are among one of the most interesting findings for me this year (2017). I decided to give them a try just a few months ago, see: First Investment In Crypto Currencies - Bought 0.2 ETH for EUR 50

You have several options if looking to mine bitcoin in 2018 - you could start with cloud mining contracts or you could go all-in and buy specific equipment for bitcoin mining.
Speaking from my personal experience - I've been mining altcoins (Ethereum and Siacoin) using GPU mining rig, see: Building a 12 GPU Ethereum Mining Rig From Scratch - Part 1: Ordering Details
Alternatively I've experimented with Hashflare.io cloud mining contracts, see: Should You Invest in Hashflare Ethereum Cloud Mining Contract or Build Your Own GPU Mining Rig

In today's article, I will list top mining equipment from Bitmain - AntMiners,
About Bitmain
Founded in 2013, Bitmain Technologies, now among the world's most recognizable Bitcoin companies, was established to develop and sell the world’s leading bitcoin miners using Bitmain's ASIC chip technology. Starting with the Antminer S1, our task continuously became more difficult as bitcoin’s “difficulty level” kept rising. We followed Moore’s Law in this emerging field of ASIC chip design and pioneered it, time and again. In May of 2016 we released the Antminer S9, the world’s first consumer-grade bitcoin miner based on a 16nm process ASIC chip. This is also the world’s most power-efficient bitcoin miner, taking that title away from its predecessor, the Antminer S7.
Bitmain is now among the most recognizable companies in the cryptocurrency space and the proud parent of several brands, among them Antminer, Antpool, and Hashnest, all of which are ranked number one in their respective fields. Our machines and customers are present in multiple locations in almost every country of the world.
We remain devoted to the production of high quality and efficient computing chips, high density server equipment, and large scale parallel computing software.
We are proudly headquartered in Beijing, with offices in Amsterdam, Hong Kong, Tel Aviv, Qingdao, Chengdu, Shanghai and Shenzhen.

Antminer D3 19.3 GH/s X11 ASIC Dash Miner
- Hash rate: 19.3 GH/s (Variation of ±5% is expected)
- Power consumption: 1200W (at the wall, with Bitmain’s APW3 PSU, 93% efficiency, 25°C ambient temp)
- Hashing algorithm: X11 (Dash and many others)
- Power consumption figures will vary with your PSU's efficiency, the ambient operating temperature and the accuracy of the power meter. It recommends use of the APW3++ PSU with the Antminer D3. One APW3++ PSU can not power more than one Antminer D3
- All PCIe connectors on a hashing board need to be connected to the PSU for the hashboard to operate. Do not connect more than one PSU to the same hashing board! Separate power supply to control board: there is one additional 6pin PCIe connector on the IO board which must be connected to the PSU to get power. Be sure to power on the miner only after all the PCIE connectors are connected to power supply
