Anyone recognise this USB Asic miner? Uses the CP2101 USB - UART Chip, 6 x Asics on board with no writing or anything on them, no on board microprocessor.  Has "X6C-1TC 520" on the pcb. No interaction from Putty over a serial connection - presumably because there is no on board processor. Stumped. Any ideas?

I don't know if that is a miner I've never seen a miner like that without heatsinks on these ASIC chips? I'm sure it would die early if it did not have separate heatsinks for every chip.

By using the keywords you mention above the last part that Google pointed me is to the HNT miner I don't know if this one is a helium miner but maybe it is one of the parts of the helium miner kit or it's an upgrade kit for HNT miner. It's just my guess I'm not sure.

Looks like it's part of the Helium network.

Lots of holes on the bottom ant they love mounting stuff!

I have to disagree with the two gentlemen above, this miner is without a shadow of a doubt GAW miner fury, it has scrypt ASICs on it, it mines LTC/DOGE at a very low speed, so ya pretty useless, also,also, it's missing a cooling fan on the top, you could probably spot the 4 holes for the screws that attach to the heatsink.

And true for not having a control board, you can connect it on a Raspberry Pi and dig for the right software to control the chips, but again, not worth it unless you are doing it for fun, oh and please, don't forget to install the fan if you plan on running this.

I did some research and yeah it is a Gaw Miner Fury there is another miner that I found with a similar appearance it is called Zeusminer Blizzard they both use Scrypt algo that can mine Dogecoin and DGB.

It seems this is an old Scrypt miner that only hashing around 1.3mh/s that's not worth running because you can only earn 0.7 dogecoin or around 1dgb a month.
Since the power voltage of this unit is 12v I think running it with solar is the best option power is free and you can mine solo as a lottery for Dogecoin or DGB.
