Built for Bitcoin Mining
The Canaan Avalon A1566 uses the SHA-256 algorithm, the same mining algorithm used by Bitcoin.
This makes it a dedicated Bitcoin ASIC rather than a general-purpose cryptocurrency mining machine.
Algorithm: SHA-256
Primary cryptocurrency: Bitcoin (BTC)
Depending on current network and pool support, SHA-256 ASIC hardware may also be compatible with other SHA-256-based cryptocurrencies.
For customers primarily interested in Bitcoin mining, however, the A1566 is designed around the BTC mining ecosystem.
185 TH/s Bitcoin Hashrate
The Avalon A1566 delivers approximately 185 TH/s of SHA-256 hashing performance.
Hashrate measures the number of hashing calculations the ASIC can perform per second.
At 185 trillion hashes per second, the A1566 provides substantial dedicated Bitcoin mining capacity.
Actual operating hashrate can vary depending on:
- Ambient temperature
- Firmware
- Power conditions
- Mining pool
- Network conditions
- Hardware variation
- Uptime
3,230W Power Consumption
The Avalon A1566 operates at approximately 3,230W.
At continuous operation:
3.23 kW × 24 hours = 77.52 kWh per day
For example, at an electricity rate of $0.10/kWh, the theoretical electricity cost would be approximately:
$7.75 per day
At $0.05/kWh:
$3.88 per day
At $0.15/kWh:
$11.63 per day
These are electricity costs only and do not represent guaranteed mining profits.
Approximately 17.5 J/TH Efficiency
Based on approximately 185 TH/s hashrate and 3,230W power consumption, the Avalon A1566 operates at approximately:
17.5 J/TH
Energy efficiency is one of the most important factors when evaluating a Bitcoin ASIC because electricity is generally one of the largest recurring mining expenses.
When comparing Bitcoin miners, customers should consider:
- Hashrate
- J/TH efficiency
- Electricity price
- Bitcoin price
- Network difficulty
- Mining pool fees
- Hardware price
- Expected uptime
Professional Bitcoin Mining Hardware
The Avalon A1566 is designed for serious Bitcoin mining operations.
Its approximately 3.23 kW power requirement means it should be installed in an environment with sufficient:
- Electrical capacity
- Ventilation
- Airflow
- Heat removal
- Network connectivity
- Temperature monitoring
The A1566 is particularly suitable for:
- Bitcoin mining farms
- Data centers
- Dedicated mining facilities
- Commercial mining operations
- Industrial-scale ASIC deployments
Cooling & Heat Management
Like other high-performance Bitcoin ASIC miners, the Avalon A1566 converts a large amount of electrical energy into computational power and heat.
At approximately 3,230W, the machine produces substantial heat during continuous operation.
A suitable installation should provide:
Adequate Airflow
Ensure sufficient cool air reaches the miner’s intake.
Hot-Air Extraction
Hot exhaust air should be efficiently removed from the mining environment.
Temperature Control
Maintain the operating environment within the manufacturer’s recommended temperature range.
Dust Management
Clean the miner and surrounding environment regularly to help maintain cooling performance.
Bitcoin Mining With SHA-256
The Avalon A1566 is built around SHA-256, the proof-of-work algorithm used by Bitcoin.
Bitcoin mining involves specialized ASIC hardware competing to find valid blocks by performing enormous numbers of SHA-256 calculations.
Compared with GPU mining, ASICs are purpose-built for specific algorithms, allowing substantially higher performance and efficiency for supported networks.
