Bitmain Antminer E3 190Mh Ethash Ethereum Classic Miner: Product Overview
What Is the Antminer E3 and What Does It Mine?
The Bitmain Antminer E3 190Mh is a dedicated Ethash, Etchash ASIC miner for EthereumPoW. Manufactured by Bitmain. This model belongs to the Antminer E Series. Released in 2018.
Is the Antminer E3 Right for Your Setup?
Mining starts with power. A competitive electricity tariff or surplus renewable generation can give your operation a useful cost advantage, while higher electricity prices can make an otherwise capable miner uneconomic. Compare your rate and chosen coin in the earnings table, allowing for cooling, pool fees and any other operating costs.
Prefer to avoid the day-to-day work of running your own mining site? Our managed ASIC hosting services offer an alternative, with power, cooling and monitoring handled at the facility. Explore current locations and rates, then speak to our team to confirm compatibility, availability, minimum quantities and any additional fees.
For this air cooled model, plan a clear route for cool intake air and warm exhaust air. Allow for fan noise and a continuous electrical load, with the supply and connection assessed for the manufacturer’s requirements.
Confirm the power supply, leads and cooling equipment included with your exact variant, and obtain its manufacturer’s installation manual before arranging the installation.
Which Coins Can the Antminer E3 Mine?
Mining Compatibility
Mining on the Ethash and Etchash algorithms, you can secure EthereumPoW (ETHW), Ethereum Classic (ETC) and emerging chains like Larissa (LRS), OctaSpace (OCTA) and QuarkChain (QKC); because Ethash-capable ASICs also handle Etchash, you can freely switch-or dual-target-between both DAGs, and you can earn Bitcoin and other coins by selling your Ethash or Etchash hash-power on the NiceHash Hashpower Marketplace.
How Ethash, Etchash Mining Works
Ethash is a mining algorithm that uses a large dataset, commonly called the DAG, alongside repeated hashing. Ethereum originally used Ethash but ended proof of work mining in September 2022, so Ethash hardware cannot mine Ethereum ETH. Other networks have used Ethash or modified versions of it. The distinction matters when choosing equipment: available memory, firmware and the exact algorithm supported by the target network determine compatibility. Ethereum Classic uses Etchash, which should not be treated as identical to Ethash.

Coin and merged mining support depend on the network, pool and firmware. Selling hashpower through a marketplace is different from directly mining its payout coin.
Antminer E3 Cooling Method: Air
No additional cooling equipment is required. However, good airflow, air separation, and effective cooling practices are essential for optimal hashing.
About Bitmain
Bitmain makes the Bitmain Antminer E3 190Mh, part of the Antminer E Series. This model was released in July 2018.
Manufacturer Background
Bitmain was founded in 2013 by Jihan Wu and Micree Zhan, also known as Zhan Ketuan, during Bitcoin mining's transition towards dedicated ASIC chips. The company began supplying mining hardware that year and developed its business around semiconductor research and the engineering of complete computing systems. Its research and development network includes Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Singapore. Bitmain serves an international customer base, with technical support and repair services alongside its hardware business.
