About Metamining
Metamining is an Australian cryptocurrency mining business providing ASIC mining hardware, miner servicing and professional co-location hosting solutions for home and commercial miners.
Metamining is based in Perth, Western Australia, with mining operations and infrastructure across Western Australia and Victoria.
Metamining has been involved in cryptocurrency mining since 2017, growing from home mining into professional ASIC mining and hosting solutions.
ASIC Mining & Getting Started
ASIC mining can seem complicated when you're getting started, but most miners can be configured relatively quickly once the correct network, wallet and mining pool settings are in place.
Metamining can help customers understand the setup process and get their equipment operating correctly.
Yes. Some ASIC miners are specifically suited to home mining because of their lower power consumption, heat output and noise levels.
The right miner depends on your available power, ventilation, budget, noise requirements and the cryptocurrency you want to mine.
We recommend considering your budget, electricity availability, power consumption, efficiency, noise, cooling requirements, algorithm and operating environment.
Metamining can help you choose equipment suited to your mining goals.
Miner Hosting
ASIC miner hosting allows you to operate mining equipment in professional mining infrastructure rather than running the equipment at home.
This is particularly useful for larger miners that require significant electrical capacity or generate substantial heat and noise.
It depends on the miner and your circumstances.
Smaller, quieter miners may be suitable for home use, while larger ASIC miners are often better suited to professional hosting because of their power, cooling and noise requirements.
Metamining supports both home mining and professionally hosted mining solutions.
Mining Profitability & Security
Mining profitability is not guaranteed and can change over time.
Profitability depends on factors including:
- Miner hashrate
- Power efficiency
- Electricity costs
- Cryptocurrency prices
- Network difficulty
- Mining rewards
- Pool fees
- Equipment uptime
We recommend considering these factors carefully before purchasing mining equipment.
Cryptocurrency security depends heavily on how your digital assets are stored and how securely your accounts and wallets are managed.
Good practices include using strong authentication, protecting wallet recovery phrases and considering secure self-custody or hardware-wallet solutions.
Never share your private keys or recovery phrase with anyone.
Sustainability & Support
Renewable energy is an important part of Metamining's long-term approach to cryptocurrency mining.
Metamining operates mining infrastructure incorporating renewable and alternative energy sources across Western Australia and Victoria, including solar, wind and biogas-powered solutions.
Yes. Metamining supplies ASIC mining hardware and provides servicing and technical support for mining equipment.
Our goal is to support customers from the initial purchase through to setup, operation and ongoing mining requirements.
