There are some important factors to look at when determining which ETC mining ASIC to buy:

Hash rate – How many hashes per second can the ETC miner make? More hashes cost more, which is why efficiency is crucial.

Efficiency – You’ll want to buy the most efficient bitcoin mining hardware possible. Right now, this is the iPollo V1 mini Classic. Since miners use a large amount of electricity, you want to buy one that converts the most amount of electricity into bitcoins.

Price – How much does the ETC miner cost? Cheap mining hardware will mine less ETC, which is why efficiency and electricity usage are important. The fastest and more efficient mining hardware is going to cost more.

Don’t try to buy a miner based on only price or only hash rate. The best ASIC miner is the most efficient ETC miner. Aim for value.
