HNS cryptocurrency is used in the decentralized domain name registration system Handshake: token holders register, renew and transfer each other’s addresses on the Internet. It is assumed that the blockchain could become a replacement for centralized SSL certificates. The market capitalization of the digital asset is $14.2 million and it is traded on eight cryptocurrency exchanges.
The Anrminer HS3 cryptocurrency mining device performs up to 9 Hash/s with a power consumption of 2079W and costs $2092. The manufacturer also stated that if the device fails to reach the stated hashrate, its owner will be compensated at the rate of $232 per terahash.
According to the Whattomine portal, a Bitmain Antminer HS3 device earns $16 per day, excluding electricity costs – mining is done on ViaBTC and f2pool pools. Bitmain also launched its own pool on the Antpool site, offering miners commission-free mining during the first month.
