Antminer E11 (9500 MH/s): Bitmain’s Dedicated Ethereum Classic Miner Now Available in Pakistan (2026)

Everyone in Pakistan knows that Ethereum moved away from mining in 2022. What most people do not realize is that Ethereum Classic, the original chain that Ethereum split from back in 2016, never made that switch. ETC is still mined today using the same Ethash algorithm that GPU rigs used to run, and Bitmain has built a dedicated ASIC machine specifically for it.

That machine is the Antminer E11, and it represents one of the most overlooked opportunities in the Pakistani mining market right now.

Why Ethereum Classic Still Matters

When most people hear “GPU mining is dead,” they assume that means there is nothing left in the Ethash ecosystem. That assumption misses Ethereum Classic entirely.

ETC has continued operating as a proof-of-work chain since the 2016 fork, maintaining its own independent network, its own miners, and its own exchange listings on every major platform globally. It carries genuine historical significance as one of the oldest smart contract platforms still running on proof of work, and that has kept a dedicated community of holders and developers active around it.

For miners, what matters most is that ETC remains genuinely mineable, and unlike the early days when this meant running power-hungry GPU rigs with mediocre efficiency, Bitmain has now built purpose-made ASIC hardware for it.

What Makes the E11 Different

The Antminer E11 was released by Bitmain in January 2025 specifically for the Ethash and Etchash algorithms used by Ethereum Classic. At 9500 MH/s hashrate and 2470W power consumption, this machine delivers an efficiency that simply was not possible with GPU-based mining setups.

To put this in context, a single E11 produces more ETC mining hashrate than an entire rack of GPUs from the Ethereum mining era, while consuming a fraction of the electricity and taking up a fraction of the physical space. This is the same generational leap that happened when ASIC miners replaced GPU rigs for Bitcoin years ago, now happening for Ethereum Classic.

The machine uses standard air cooling with Bitmain’s proven cooling technology and connects via standard Ethernet, the same setup process anyone who has run an Antminer Bitcoin miner will already be familiar with.

What Does the E11 Earn in June 2026?

On solar or hydro power with near-zero electricity cost, one Antminer E11 currently earns approximately $220 per month based on current ETC prices and network difficulty. At today’s PKR rate of roughly Rs. 280 per dollar, that comes to around Rs. 61,600 per month from a single machine.

Ethereum Classic has historically moved significantly during broader crypto market bull runs, often tracking sentiment around Ethereum and the wider altcoin market even though the two networks are technically separate now. A miner accumulating ETC during a quieter market period and holding through a recovery phase benefits from both the daily mining income and any price appreciation in their accumulated coins.

Electricity Setup for Pakistan

The E11 draws 2470W of power, notably less than most current-generation SHA-256 Bitcoin miners. This lower power draw makes it a genuinely accessible entry point for someone wanting to diversify into altcoin mining without the larger electricity infrastructure that bigger Bitcoin miners require.

On solar or hydro power at near-zero cost, the monthly profit figures above are fully achievable. This remains our recommended setup for every Pakistani buyer.

On cheap hydro power in KPK or AJK at Rs. 3 to Rs. 5 per unit, the monthly electricity bill for one E11 comes to roughly Rs. 8,500 to Rs. 13,000, leaving solid net income after costs.

On standard grid electricity at Rs. 50 to Rs. 60 per unit, the same reality applies here as with every ASIC miner. The electricity bill will significantly cut into or eliminate your earnings. Cheap power remains the foundation of profitable mining regardless of which coin or algorithm you choose.

Who Should Consider the E11?

If you already run Bitcoin ASIC miners and want to diversify your mining portfolio without dramatically increasing your total power draw, the E11’s relatively modest 2470W consumption makes it easy to add alongside existing infrastructure.

If you are a first-time miner with a smaller solar or hydro setup that cannot support a high-power Bitcoin ASIC, the E11’s lower power requirement makes it more accessible while still providing meaningful daily mining income.

If you have an interest in Ethereum Classic specifically, whether as a long-term holding or because you followed the original Ethereum and ETC split, mining your own ETC directly rather than buying it on an exchange is a genuinely different way to build a position in this asset over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Ethereum Classic mining still active and supported by pools?
Yes. ETC remains an actively mined proof-of-work network with multiple major pools supporting Etchash mining, including standard payout and monitoring tools.

Can this run on a smaller solar setup than a Bitcoin miner?
Yes. At 2470W, the E11 requires significantly less power than current-generation Bitcoin ASIC miners, making it accessible with a more modest solar or hydro setup.

Do you deliver across Pakistan?
Yes. We deliver to all cities and remote areas across Pakistan including Swat, Gilgit, Peshawar, Quetta, Multan, and Karachi, with complete setup support included.

What pool should I use for ETC mining?
We assist every customer with pool registration and configuration for Ethereum Classic mining as part of our setup support.

Is this a good entry point into altcoin mining?
For someone wanting to diversify beyond Bitcoin with a lower power requirement and a coin that has a long operating history, the E11 represents a practical and accessible option.
