Todek Toddminer C1 Pro Review

In mid-March, there was a sudden increase in the hash rate of the Nervos CKB network. All miners of the cryptocurrency community noticed a surprising ten-fold increase in just two weeks. Experts suspected that Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) pieces of hardware launched in April by Bitmain, one of the world's leading mining hardware companies, was responsible. But there was a twist, as another manufacturer, Todek, had the upper hand and started mining CKB with their Toddminer C1 devices.

The chief reason for the increase was that Todek had already connected the C1 devices to the Nervos network. A miner can only mine on the Nervos network with this ASIC miner based on the compatibility. Ironically, the Toddminer models surpassed Bitmain, not just by the speed of launch and delivery but also by superior specifications. The C1 and C1 Pro hash rates are 1.6Th/s and 3.08Th/s, respectively.

About Toddminer C1 Pro

The Toddminer C1 Pro is the latest model in the C1 series mining hardware. Made by Toddek, mining hardware focuses on the development and research of algorithm systems. They believe in providing great value and are interested in extending into multiple algorithms. Looking at this model, it is obvious they mean business, updating the series, and adding more options for their customers.

Specifications

The Toddminer C1 pro comes with a power supply unit when unboxed and two cooling fans. It uses the Eaglesong algorithm for mining cryptocurrencies, and its top coin is Nervos(CKB). The peak hash rate is 3Th/s, and due to its efficiency, it only consumes about 2700W at 0.1 Cost per kWh ($). At optimal mining conditions, the ideal temperature is about 5–45 °C.

The voltage required for the device to function is 12V, and it uses the Ethernet connection for mining activities. Humidity is about 5 — 95%, which is quite standard, and the efficiency is at 0.9j/Gh. It’s size is about 185 x 281 x 300cm.

Noise Level

The noise level of the Toddminer C1 Pro is about 70dB. Most miners have a noise level of about 60 to 80 dB, but the Toddminer C1 Pro noise level is average. At 70 dB, this is impressive as it's ear-friendly. The less the noise, the less the power consumption, and then the higher the profitability! And that's one of Toddminer's C1 Pro's features that most people love.

Algorithm

Toddminer C1 Pro uses the Eaglesong algorithm to mine altcoins. Eaglesong is a Proof of Work algorithm uses by Nervos CKB crypto coins. Nervos CKB mining block reward changes dynamically from 1872 to 1112 CKB during each CKB mining epoch. Eaglesong was launched in the second half of 2019; people mostly used the algorithm for GPU mining. But in 2020, Application Specific Integrated Miners started appearing on the Nervos mining network. Due to the influx of miners, the network difficulty increased, making GPU mining less profitable than before.

The Profitability of Todek Toddminer C1 Pro

It comes with a profit ratio of – 20 percent, according to current market data. The miner has an annual return percentage of – 16 percent. With the Nervos network, expect to have high power consumption. The power cost per day is estimated to be around $9. 
There’s no payback period, which shows that this is a 50/50 risk. You might get profitable or not with this miner. The miner is still available in some stores. 

Regarding profitability, the Toddminer C1 Pro is quite profitable. Considering that it is a lone wolf in its mining network, it can fetch a nice income for the owner. In normal mining conditions, the Toddminer C1 Pro has a top hash rate of 3Th/s with a power consumption of 2700W at a Cost per kWh of 0.1.
