so 1100 usd actually about 1180 after tax.

37 th and 800 watts.

plus a low power ? hash and 500 watts.

A bit pricey but  not terrible as a space heater.

What options do you think are better for home miners? I’m tempted to sell off my nano and grab one of these to solo mine with. I’m a little worried that a bitaxe will be released that’s even better though as they seem to have better efficiency already with their current product line. What do you think?

the two units I see as best are the bit chimney or the mini 3 (have to read hagssfin write up to be sure)

I built 5 bit chimney units.


https://altairtech.io/product/bitchimney/


3 use a s19xp board
2 use a s19 board






the s19 bit-chimney  tends to be a bit too loud and kind of flattens out around 27th

the s19xp bit-chimney can do 33th and is a bit too loud.

I did not mod the psu beyond the 12.5 volt mod ( there is a 13.5 volt mod) but it ends up louder yeah it can do more hash but it is not quiet enough .


I can clock the bit chimney down to 15th and 400 watts it is fairly quiet then.


both the bit chimney and the Avalon mini can do regular dca mining

20 x 0.00000056 =  0.004088 btc in a year. bit chimney

37 x 0.00000056 = 0.0075628 btc in a year Avalon mini 3.  both will be 10-15% lower due to difficulty rise.

but if you set to viabtc.com and set withdrawl  to 0.02 btc it takes 5 years for the bitchimney and 3 years for the mini 3

more likely 6 years and 4 years.


which is a dead simple fairly hidden dca move.

Electrical engineer. Mining since 2014.
I grabbed one of these (the Mini 3)! It was from a distributor which was listed at Canaan.io (Mineshop).

I see this one as a very interesting continuation in 800-1000 W power area home miner. Previous very common one in these was Antminer R4, and a lot of time has passed after that.

I plan to use my one for a solo 'lottery' mining.

I may even do a write-up for this,  which I haven't done in a long time. Smiley

Would be nicer a bit cheaper.

I can make a 525 watts bit chimney for around 425-450.

it does 20 to 27th

28 watts a th 20th

cost
a standard hash board = 125
a spoof chip                =   40
a plastic case printed   =   50
an epic controller         = 150
a bitmain apw3+         =   60
4 fans                         =  60
 cost =                           485

frankly I think the cannon/avalon is better

I built 5 of the bit chimney and we can't get the cases to look good enough

This is an untapped market - the only options right now seem to be:

* Full power miners, needing 220v / 3000w, so unsuitable for normal homes
* Old miners capable of running on 110v residential power supplies (S9, S17, modified S19/S21 that are expensive)
* Tiny toy lottery miners that have little hash power and no heating capability

A mini heater consuming 800w and providing 40 Th/s would be awesome, and great for home use esp. for those of us in colder climates.


A 800 watt 40th miner  can be made to sell at 600 bucks maybe 700

Evil beware: We have waffles!
Unless they have a built-in PSU, "Normal" power input is not going to happen. For consumer goods EU regs require using USB-C for 5v @ up to 2A (10w) and for over 10W, USB-C PD which can deliver 5/9/12/24/48V up to 5A for low voltage power in connections.

NGZ: Our Avalon Nano3 series has been highly successful, with over 10,000 units shipped last quarter. By the end of this year, we will be launching the Mini series, which can provide room heating with a maximum power of about 800W and is built using our latest chips, with a maximum hashrate of 40T. Ease of use, fun and practicality are key. From USB hand warmer miners with 140W power (which can be placed in front of the keyboard to warm your hands), to 800W space heaters and water heaters that can heat villas and provide hot water. Previously, these devices only converted electricity into heat, but now they can also contribute to the security of the blockchain by outputting hashrate.
