OneString Modular Miner Review: Excellent Power Sipping Performance
I was able to get a sample of the new OneString modular miner. The specs are very good especially when you take power consumption into account. Here are the official specs posted by Ben Turas on BitcoinTalk, whom I interviewed for this review. OneStringMiner board: The OneString Miner boards are designed by Intron and C-scape, two well-known Bitcoin mining board designers. The OSM is based on Bitfury chips, and each board contains 15 chips, hashing 25+ GH/s without heat sink and 30+ GH/s with heat sink. Each board runs from a single 12V supply, using ~25W. The models: The OSM DIY sets,....

Avalon has a storied name in the Bitcoin ASIC Mining industry. As one of the first companies to produce and ship ASIC gear, they had several models that were excellent sellers. Simple to use and powerful at the same time. Other manufacturers have stepped up in power and performance since those days. Canaan Creative CO., LTD the company behind the current Avalon name released not too long ago the Avalon 4.1 Bitcoin ASIC miner. The Avalon 4.1 is similar in design to the Spondoolies-Tech SP20. What makes it different is the 4.1’s speed and physical size. It is larger in physical size than the....
RockMiner R-BOX 32 gh/s Bitcoin Miner With ASICMiner BE200 ASIC Chips. We have seen several new Bitcoin/SHA-256 miners come out as well as announcements of plenty more to come as well. One miner that has come out recently is the RockMiner R-Box. It is a 32+ gh/s miner built using ASICMiner's Gen 3 40nm BE200 chip in a small Orb type package. This smaller unit is an exciting development as the original Block Eruptor was a large, power sucking space heater. The original Block eruptor worked well, but this is an excellent improvement in both power consumption, performance and relative heat....
Review: Zeusminer Thunder X6 NX Gen Scrypt ASIC Miner. Zeusminer has been hard at work making miners for itself as well as being the OEM manufacturer for many others. While this has kept them busy, they have also worked on getting ready to launch their NX Gen X6 miners. Zeusminers sent me over a Thunder X6 to review, and it has been fun with some interesting findings. Zeusminers X6 NX Gen miners use more chips at a lower voltage and clock to achieve a better power consumption profile per mh/s. As you can see from the specifications below, a new lower power consumption is better and still....
Review: The Blizzard 1.3+ mh/s Scrypt Miner by ZeusMiner. ZeusMiner is the company that makes the Scrypt ASIC miner chips for many companies other than itself. It has positioned itself as not only a manufacturer but also as an OEM and re-seller of ASIC Scrypt Miners. Having to manage all three is a new and unique challenge as many companies are only one or two channels in the chain. So far, despite some bumps in the road, like massive demand at rollout, ZeusMiner has done very well. I recently reviewed the GAWMiners Falcon, which is made by ZeusMiner. It is an excellent miner that is well....
Spondoolies-Tech SP20 Jackson. Guy Corem of Spondoolies-Tech is a very thoughtful leader who built his team carefully when entering the ASIC Bitcoin Miner industry. That careful approach extends to every step in the process as well as adapting as needed to bring the best Bitcoin miners they can to market. Their first miner to market was the SP10 a 1.4 th/s miner with an excellent hardware and software engineered package. They followed up with the SP30 capable of 4.5 th/s in one unit. The SP30 brought further refinement to the Spondoolies software, chip and chassis showing marked....
