PunkHash 70T vs GekkoScience KBOX
Two very different answers to the same question. The 70T buys the most hashrate per dollar we sell. The KBOX is frugal, quiet enough for a room you sit in, and on the shelf today.
| Spec | PunkHash 70T |
GekkoScience KBOX
|
|---|---|---|
| Price | $645 | $800 |
| Hashrate | 70 TH/s | 22 TH/s |
| Price per terahash | $9/TH | $36/TH |
| Power at the wall | ~1450 W | ~330 W |
| Efficiency | ~21 J/TH | ~15 J/TH |
| Circuit | Needs its own | Shares a normal outlet |
| Availability | Ships from the supplier | In stock |
The KBOX wins most of this table. The 70T wins the one row that decides it for a lot of people: how much hashrate a dollar buys.
See the GekkoScience KBOX- The cheapest terahash we stock At $645 for 70 TH/s this works out to about $9 per terahash. The next cheapest machine on our shelf is roughly $27 per terahash, and most of the small desk boards land between $36 and $45. Nothing else we sell is close on hashrate per dollar.
- Solo, to your own address Point it at your own node and your own payout address. If it finds a block you keep the whole reward. No pool cut, no custodian, no permission. It will also run against an open solo pool if you would rather not run a node.
- Give it a circuit of its own 1.45 kW draws about 12 A on a 120V line, which is the full continuous rating of a standard 15 A breaker. Run it on its own circuit with nothing else on the line, or on 240V where the current draw halves. This is the one thing to plan before it arrives.
- A full size machine, in a house 370 x 130 x 380 mm, wired Ethernet or WiFi, 100 to 240V input. It is not a hobby board and it does not pretend to be. It is a warehouse class machine that happens to live in a spare room.
The cheapest terahash we stock
Price divided by hashrate, across our SHA-256 miners. Lower is better.
| PunkHash 70T | $9/TH | |
|---|---|---|
| Bitfortun BS-4 | $27/TH | |
| Bitfortun BS-2 | $36/TH | |
| GekkoScience KBOX | $36/TH | |
| NerdQX | $38/TH | |
| Bitfortun BS-1 | $45/TH |
Efficiency is the other side of this. At about 21 J/TH the 70T uses more power per terahash than the small boards, which trade hashrate for frugality. You are buying hashrate per dollar here, not watts per terahash.
What you're actually buying
- Mining is a lottery Solo mining pays in whole blocks or not at all. 70 TH/s gives you a far bigger shot than a desk board does, and it is still a long shot. We publish honest expectations and never quote you an ROI.
- This one needs electrical planning At 1.45 kW it is the full continuous rating of a standard 15 A household breaker. If you cannot give it a dedicated circuit or a 240V outlet, buy a smaller machine instead. We would rather tell you that now.
- Efficiency is the trade About 21 J/TH is thirstier per terahash than our small boards, which sit near 15. You are buying hashrate per dollar here, not watts per terahash. Both are honest ways to buy, and they are not the same purchase.
- Difficulty and price move Bitcoin difficulty and price both change what any miner earns. Neither we nor anyone else can tell you what this will make.
Questions people ask
Do I need my own Bitcoin node?
No. Point it at your own node if you run one, or at an open solo pool if you do not. Either way the payout address is yours.
Will this run on a normal outlet?
Only on a circuit with nothing else on it. 1.45 kW is about 12 A at 120V, which is the full continuous rating of a standard 15 A breaker. On 240V the current draw halves and it is far more comfortable.
Why is it so much cheaper per terahash?
Because it is a full size machine rather than a desk board, and it trades efficiency for raw hashrate. About 21 J/TH against roughly 15 on our small units. The dollars per terahash go down, the watts per terahash go up.
How loud is it, and how much heat?
Treat it like a full size miner, not a desk unit: a room of its own, or a garage or basement. We would rather you plan for that than be surprised by it.
Is it in stock?
This is an Early Bird phase and units ship from the supplier rather than off our shelf. If you need something you can run this week, the GekkoScience KBOX and the Bitfortun boards are in stock now.
