- A screen instead of a browser The touchscreen walks through WiFi scan, ethernet, pool and system screens. No hunting for an IP address on first boot.
- Runs off a normal outlet About 210 W through the included 12V supply, which takes 100 to 240V AC. No dedicated circuit, no rewiring.
- Straight SHA-256 Mines Bitcoin solo or pooled, with SOLO, PPLNS and PPS modes. Fan and heatsink cooling at roughly 50 dB.

What you're actually buying
- The screen does the setup WiFi scan, pool and system config all happen on the touchscreen. You never have to hunt for the miner's IP address or open a browser to get it hashing.
- Mining is a lottery Solo mining pays in whole blocks or not at all. At 12 TH/s the odds are about 1 in 1,447 of finding a block in a year.
- Difficulty and price move Bitcoin difficulty and price both affect what this earns. We publish honest expectations, never guarantees.
Questions people ask
How much power does it pull?
About 210 W at the wall, which works out to roughly 17.5 J/TH. It runs from a normal household outlet through the included supply.
How many ASIC chips does it use?
Eight BM1370 chips, for about 12 TH/s of SHA-256 hashrate.
Does it need WiFi, or can I wire it in?
Either. The touchscreen has a WiFi screen that scans for 2.4 GHz networks, and an ethernet screen for a wired connection with DHCP or a static IP.
Is a power supply included?
Yes. A 250 W 12V supply with an XT-60 connector and a power cord, plus the stand. The supply takes 100 to 240V AC.
What are my actual odds?
About 1 in 1,447 of finding a whole block in a year at 12 TH/s. Those odds come from hashrate and difficulty alone, so your power price changes the bill, not the odds.
