They’re currently accepting preorders for this mini 3 in 1 miner. The shipping's expected in Q4 2023. Here's the rundown on the specs: Power (when heating with just mining) is 300w. Hashrate can go up to 10 TH/s. Uses 5nm tech for mining chips. Power efficiency can be as low as 25 J/TH. Conventional heating boost is an extra 1000w. Noise level at max power is under 40dB. It weighs 8.8 lbs / 4 kg. Height is 18 inches / 46 cm, and diameter is 7 inches / 18 cm. Safety standards include UL / CSA / CE. It uses 50W in air purifier mode, 1000W in heater mode, and 300W when mining. Looks like a nice little setup. I’m curious if it has an ethernet connection. The discounted price was supposed to end yesterday, but they’ve extended it. You can get it for $249 for the shared version or $499 for the full version. Unfortunately, I can't place an order since it's not being shipped to my country. What do you all think? Is it for real?

Only supports mining to nicehash, They have a previous product the Heatbit One so there must be some out there. the "Shared Ownership" option mines 50% for them. so the $249 option is a bit of a red herring. Martin.

Never heard of it so cannot comment. On scam or not. Kinda looks scammy but who knows. BUT they do take credit card payment. So if they do not ship by the end of the year you can always file a complaint with your CC company and get your money back. Not 100% ideal but it does give you some comfort of knowing that they can't entirely screw you. As for the 50% nicehash, according to them that is only until they generate $250 through mining then it's all yours. Once again, will they follow though? Is this some custom portal that if they go under you have a paperweight, don't have the answer to that either. -Dave

The HeatBit One has been popping up on eBay and a buddy of mine purchased one from Bitcoin Merch. CAN CONFIRM that the One is a real product - haven't seen one of the mini's in person yet though so can't say much about the less expensive offering. The "shared" offering doesn't really sit right with me but that doesn't mean its a "scam".

Not very nice that you can not simply put in your pool details, since this miner will probably be the most effective as a lottery solo miner. Still I like that it has a very stylish design and the price also seems fair for the package. A used S9 will also get you 15 THS at the cost of around 200 USD, but it will be without warranty and not in this beautiful packaging. If somebody buys one I would be happy about some kind of review! Edit: price is 600USD and this is to high in my opinion.

Can't find any details on their website for setup options, the review video had more info on the app than the website. I wouldn't want this be linked to one pool/website only.

Just jumping into this thread rather than starting a new one... Has anyone bought ont if these? I first came across this purely as a heating option then realised it was a Bitcoin mining rig and an air purifier, 3 in one sort of thing They are offering 3 purchase options: Heat with benefits (sold out) ~14k sats per month - $239 Equal Split ~35k sats per month - $439 Pay half of the cost but share 50% of the mining reward Full Ownership ~70k sats per month - $799 For the miners what are the 5nm chips? how efficient are they?

It looks legit but the video review doesn't have any technical views or it might also be just content or a legit review but I don't see any technician views about the unit which makes me think that this might also be a scam. The price right now has increased a bit compared to the video I tried to order but there is no option for Paypal payment they only accept card and crypto payment if they accept Paypal you have a chance to try ordering the unit and reverse the payment once if the seller is a scammer.

you are better off with this item https://altairtech.io/product/bitchimney/ I built three high end models using the s19xp but I decided the price point is too high for that build. I will make three s19 builds which would be much cheaper. I do have a thread on the s19xp builds. after a lot of tweaking I can do 400 to 900 watts. but they cost me 1500 to build. if I used the s19 the price would be far lower  say 800 which themsame price  as this one with way more hash and efficiency. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5485850.0
