I’ve been looking everywhere for this little miner but can't find anything useful. Seems like it might be super new and possibly on preorder? The efficiency makes me think it could be legit, but the link where I got the screenshot isn’t working either. Anyone got the scoop on this new solo miner with great efficiency? What do you think about the specs too? 3.2TH for just 34W sounds pretty sweet. If I get two, that’s 6.4TH for only 68W. My NerdQaxe pulls 100W-120W for 6TH.

A simple search on Google found it with no problem. It is from Hammerminer. Philipma1957 will soon be doing a review on it in the Hardware area.

How the hell can't you find this using Google search? It doesn't take me than 4 seconds to get the information you are looking for, or there is something else you are using to search that you aren't sharing? This miner is still very new and it will take 6 weeks max to get it if you preorder one right now. Something strange is happening though as I can't open the official website as well, or this was what you meant? Sadly it's not available elsewhere right now, can't find it on other Asic mining purchasing platforms, it's like there are location restrictions and I can't access the website, if that's what you are facing too then you are out of luck. Wait for some weeks or month, it will spread around but $300 for this solo miner is pricey, yes the power consumption is very good but $300? I don't know what to say about this., a NerdQ++ is $200 with 6 Terahash right now.

Information on the image is a bit misleading. With 3.2TH/s and 34W, the actual efficiency is 10.625 J/T. It's efficiency it's definitely great. But from quick google search, it seems to have price $249 or higher. Meanwhile your NerdQaxe (6TH/s) have price around $219 - $329, which is better in terms of $/TH.

Hammer Miner Thor X1 Home Bitcoin Miner Introducing the Hammer Miner Thor X1 - the next generation of home Bitcoin mining. Engineered with the latest S23-generation ASIC chip, the Thor X1 delivers powerful 3.2 TH/s performance at only 35W via USB-C in a compact, home-friendly design built for efficiency, reliability, and long-term operation. https://bitcoinmerch.com/products/bitcoin-merch%C2%AE-hammer-miner-thor-x1-3-2th-s-lottery-miner 3.2 TH/s is very low for solo mining. Although mining consumes as much power as a light bulb, the chances of finding a block on such a device are slim. It would be interesting to see a device with such chips capable of 90-100 TH/s.

Still waiting on this sample and the doge mining sample. We talked last week and he told me they are working on firmware and he wants the items to come with the newest firmware. My signature sponsor is a usa seller and carries them all. I have zero idea if they are good. as I am yet to test them. https://altairtech.io/?s=hammer&post_type=product&dgwt_wcas=1 all preorder. If you click on my signature I get 1% kickback on the order. If you click above I get no fee. Either way you want to get them is fine by me. And either way is the same cost to you. I do suggest wait til I run them. Now the Chinese builder that is doing these sent me other gear over the years. I still use his beagle units as I love the info screens. I can sit in my pc char and glance at prices for multiple coins in a snap. They also had reworks s9 boards with different chips that I tested. So far their gear was good. But I am yet to get these for testing.

This is exactly what some people needs in their home, I think we should stop saying that this miners can't solve a block because 10 of them is 30TH and they will produce less noise and manageable operation, for those who different voltage in their homes who can't run massive Asic miners. Trust me, some people are mining Bitcoin right now because these small miners exists, just like a friend who has only home miners and small miners in his home, he is running close to 140TH using home miners and solo miners only.

If anyone's willing to pay $2,500 for 10 of these devices, I wish them luck. During the cold rush, the only profits are from sellers of gold prospecting equipment. A few miners might be successful, but mostly, solo miners find blocks with high hashrate. Better is the old ASIC S19 for $200, ePIC's controller and noise box

I have to say this I got tracking on these items . I will post soon in my thread. As to how to solo mine. "you lose and never hit a block" if you can accept this above any thing with 1 th or more and low power is okay. Now frankly I can list ten ways to mine solo  at fairly low cost. To medium cost. I can build a 1 board t21 does 19 watts a th and down clocked with the epic controller it is quiet . But it burns 665 watts. here is a screenshot of my 1 board t21 miner doing solo this unit below has way more hash but is less efficient and it is not super cheap. I can make these for about 700 bucks. you get way more hash rate and they are quiet. but they are big and they burn .667x24=16.008  plus the fans power so 19kwatts a day so 365x19=6,935  lets say 7,000 kwatts a year. for me my 20 cent summer and 28 cent winter power comes to 25 cents a kwatt so 0.25x7000= 1,750 usd a day while giving me about  0.197 percent a year shot or 1 block every 500 years on average. So spending 700 to build it and 1750 to run it is 2450 first year and 1750 each year after for a 1 in 500 year shot. or get the Thor hammer model for 250. it burns 0.038x24x365=332.88 kwatts at 25 cents or 83 bucks so 250+83 first year and 83 every year after. 3.6th means 1 block every 5000 years either way you are not hitting a block 500 years or 5000 years are too long So having the 3.6th model you lose  way less money in your lifetime trying to hit a block. So the argument for 3.6th vs 36th is pretty simple. depends on power cost and how much you want to lose for an unlikely shot at a block.

Hi philipma1957 Just for clarification sake, is it accurate that a 3.6TH will solve 1 block every 5000 years? That's not what I am getting with solo chance calculator. It's says that 3.2TH can solve  1 block in 5614 chances in a year, not in every 5000 years like you said. This is a screenshot or you think I don't get a part? I am not trying to proof anything here I just want to know if this is the right way to read this calculator or you are the one that miscalculated, thank you for understanding.

Isn't more or less the same though? 1/5000 is 0.002 chance to find a block. 1 in 5614 a yer means you're likely to hit your first block after 5000 years have passed or so. Sounds like it's referring to the same thing with different wording to me. Although yeah, 600 years is still a huge difference when you're talking about human life.

32th is 500 years 3.2th is 5000 years. essentially you won't hit in your lifetime. but you have a chance to hit on every single block that's why you are better off with the 3.2 th machine burning under 40 watts you will die and not hit but spend less money than the guy with the 32th machine who will also die and not hit. Of course if you do hit you are pretty much a king which is why you try to do it. My advice is do it cheaply it the small unit

This simply means you're playing a lottery that's very hard to win, but your participation in this game is permanent as long as the equipment works. Such devices find Bitcoin blocks a few times a year, but given the number of such devices sold, the chances are very slim.
