Say. If somebody built another small miner...

...that ran around 2TH over USB from around 145W (12V PCIe), would anyone buy it?

Same concept as your 606? I would be interested.

Have a price point in mind? Would it still be quiet?

Also I live by Miami now, quite a bit warmer than Wisconsin would that be a problem you think?

Wouldn't have a fancy shiney case or milled heatsinks. The 606 takes freaking FOREVER to build, what with all the custom metalwork. Going fast and simple here. Quiet I guess depends on how much of a 120mm fan it takes to clear 140 watts. Sure won't be a turbine.

I live in a country with a very hot climate, and even when temps are pretty high, I can get away with 50% fan speed on S9 which uses two 12cm fans, and 50% speed is 2500-3000rpm, provided that I underclock the miner to 10th or so, where power consumption is below or right about 1000w, 140 watts worth of heat is really nothing serious, it can be really silent and run in a hot climate.

@sidehack, sadly, I am not a hobby miner and thus I won't be interested in small mining pods, although I think 2terahash per second at 140w is a great achievement, and I have always admired your work.

With that being said, if the price is right, I might be interested in 1 or 2 of them just to solo mine on ckpool.

Good luck.

Would definitely be interested in a couple to point at my Kanopool solo account along with your sticks that are already happily mining there.

I would grab 1 or 2

I assume they are small sized.

I'll buy one and do a review for it!

Interested depending on price point. If it’s good I’d probably buy 10-15 just for kicks, plus it would be a reminder of how 20-30TH/s looks compared to my racks full of hardware in 16 lol! Plus could just let it play the lotto.

Yes yes and another Yes!

I was tempted to get another 606 to replace my 6xnewpacs. But now i think ill wait.

Depends on price.

Not to put too fine a point on it but you can get very high priced FPGAs to do 2TH @ 80W add in a bit for fan & such and you are still well under 100W. 145W although still nothing in the real world of power is still a big % over what is out there. I own several of just about everything you made, but unless this is really low cost I would have to pass.

I'm interested. Please tell how much it cost, size and what about noise.
Also wanted to buy R606 but can't find anywhere.

Just setup 4 R606 from 419mining with your hub and an HP 1200 PSU. Great little setup for lottery mining.

I would definitely be interested in something with more power - be nice to have 20+TH home mining

Even if you produced basically a motherboard full of asic chips that had atx/mtx etc mounting holes so it could easily be mounted in an open air frame like this https://www.amazon.com/Overclock-Computer-Aluminum-Chassis-Graphics/dp/B07YYZSYQ6.

sure, if it will be available in europe to. 140 W for 2 TH/s is an argument to buy it.

Another option is make it fit mini ITX motherboard mounts so it could go in a mini-itx case for easy cooling - like this one https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07T94W9YS.

Interested.

Always interested in hobby/home miners.

Yep I'd purchase one

I'm interested to know more.

So whats in the pipeline sidehack? Any spoiler photos? Any more details? Chips? size? Layout?
