Why the Z15 Miner Still Matters in 2025 — And Why Z15 Pro Is Worth Considering
What Is the Antminer Z15 & Z15 Pro?
The Antminer Z15 is one of Bitmain’s most recognized ASICs for the Equihash algorithm. It delivers a hashrate of 420 kSol/s while consuming around 1,510 W. 
It’s designed primarily for mining Equihash-based coins like Zcash (ZEC) and Horizen (ZEN). 
The miner is compact (~133 × 245 × 290 mm, 9 kg) with two fans and a noise level around 72 dB. 


What Can Z15 Mine — And Why It’s Worth Revisiting
Zcash (ZEC) & Horizen (ZEN) Economics
▷ Zcash (ZEC) remains the top coin for Z15 miners. Its use of the Equihash algorithm makes it very compatible with this hardware. 
▷ As of Nov 2025, a Z15 can generate a revenue of about $29.92/day before electricity, according to MiningNow. 
▷ With power costs factored in, it can still yield $27+ net profit/day in favorable conditions. 
▷ According to some profitability calculators, at typical electricity prices, the Z15’s ROI is in the 88–284 days range. 

Z15 Pro: Higher Performance Option
▷ The Z15 Pro nearly doubles the hashrate: 840 kSol/s vs 420 kSol/s for the standard Z15. 
▷ Its power consumption is higher (around 2,780 W) but is more power-efficient per kSol (≈ 3.31 J/kSol). 
▷ Based on current ZEC prices and an example electricity rate of $0.05/kWh, a Z15 Pro miner could potentially net $28+ per day. 
▷ This makes the Pro version very attractive for miners who can run at scale and want to maximize their output on high-performance Equihash mining.

Market Trends & Profitability Drivers
1. ZEC Price Fluctuations
Zcash has seen volatility, but strong community and developer support remain — which helps ASIC miners like Z15 maintain value.

2. Lower Competition for Equihash ASICs
With fewer new Equihash ASICs coming out compared to other algorithms, older miners like Z15 / Z15 Pro can still find solid profitability if power costs are controlled.

3. Firmware Customization
Some mining communities and advanced users have developed custom firmware to tweak performance or reduce dev-fee — boosting efficiency. 

4. Pool Support
Several mining pools (e.g., for ZEC) are still very active, giving Z15 miners reliable payout options. 

Risks & Things to Be Careful About
▷ Electricity Cost Matters Greatly: If your power rate is high, the margin can shrink dramatically.
▷ Hardware Failure: Some users report issues like short-circuited hash boards. 
▷ Market Volatility: ZEC’s value could swing, affecting miner profitability.
▷ Maintenance & Cooling: Running a 1,510 W or 2,780 W ASIC requires good cooling and power supply planning.

Final Recommendation: Z15 or Z15 Pro?
▷ Choose the standard Z15 if you’re mining on a smaller scale or have moderate electricity cost — it’s efficient, proven, and stable.
▷ Opt for the Z15 Pro if you want maximum Equihash performance and can invest in higher power infrastructure — it offers almost double the hashrate and potentially higher return for power used.
