Check out the website at www.hammerminer.com.
I'll be posting a review pretty soon.
A few years back, I did a review of the Beagle and reviewed a modded S9 for the same individual about 6 years ago. Both of those machines performed pretty well.
Cyc22, a user here, sent me some older models to check out and will also send the Hammer miner shortly.
For now, I'll put this thread on hold.
Here’s the Beagle review link:

And here’s the S9 upgrade review:

Can’t wait to get my hands on the Hammer miner!
Spacer.
feel free to ask questions .
I have been contacted and packing of the test gear along with shipping it to me should happen soon.
Also my signature sponsor altairtech will be taking orders.
Just click through the signature below I would get a 1% fee from them. But your cost would not be higher.
these will be very much like the bitaxe design.
a 1.5th model
a 6th model
a 12th model
They came today I will photo and post in an hour or 2.
4 items came. 2 of them dc04 and dc08 are for doge.
2 of them bc01 and bc04 are for BTC
I will not do the doge models here
At moderators I will post a lot of photos so there will be consecutive posting.
the screen on the BC01 is color and much bigger than my bitaxe miner's screen.
running

This miner is created in Shenzhen china I believe? Since it's on the website, I'm wondering why I can't find any buy button already, the BC04 is interesting to me but the official hammeriner website has no price or buy button available.
When is this going live for real?
I am not planning to use this on Bitcoin mining because it's near impossible to make anything out of this miner, $0.02 of sats per day is something I don't want to think about.
Going solo on Digibyte or Bitcoin Cash with just 6TH makes more sense than sitting on hope with solving a Bitcoin block, looking forward to worldwide release date.

You can mine bch or dgb and not btc. . Edit: _____ not clear. BCH or DGB or BTC your choice.
Not sure about an Asian seller
Will look for you
The companies I picked above are decent.
I will pm looking for Asian sellers
I sent the pm. It is very late in China he may reply in 4-7 hours time.
JUST got this pm about Asian seller:
"Hi Phlip,
Hammer doesn't have Asia seller now. Customers can directly contact Hammer official through "Contact us" button (or email: info@hammerminer.com) at offical website. Thanks for wonderful review again.
Best Regards,
CY C******"
You can even buy these devices now from hammerminer partners; all the information is available on the official website.
https://www.hammerminer.com/about.html#partners
Altairtech writes on its website that "We are incorporated in Missouri and ship to over 80 countries worldwide."
On DigiByte, you won't recoup your investment even if you find a few hundred blocks solo.
Hey Phil,
Appreciate your comment and review, it's Alex from Hammer Miner,
We are working hard to make miners with higher hashrate and lower consumption, so that more people can join the decentralized world easily
Looking forward to see more reviews!
Best,
Alex
@philipma thanks for going that far for me, thank you
@FP91G
I can only buy from china because it's the closest country to mine that I can get, it takes very less amount to ship the miner into my country, most times I even get free shipping offers.
The last time I bought a big stabiliser from china market it takes only $7 dollars to ship with such massive weight of the stabiliser, so convenient compared to buying from US, there are things I want to buy in the US but I can't because of shipping fee.
It will get to my country of cos but I can't stand the shipping fee, it's likely going to cost almost the same price as the miner itself, talking from past Amazon experience. Thank you guys
Gave you a merit to aid you in posting on bitcointalk.
Your gear is nice a step above my bitaxe in cooling and in general quality overall.
I appreciate the eth connections.
I live in New Jersey USA. I am 20 miles from a military triplex of bases. They do a lot of flyovers by my home .
when they do this knock out my wifi.
So doing wifi for mining which is 24/7/365 it is okay at best. doing ethernet is far better. especially if i do a firmware update.
My home has power backup so a black out does not knock out my internet . thus I do not worrying about a blackout killing the gear in firmware update. You may be the only low chip miner with ethernet and wifi options. thanks for doing that.
Alex I would love to review the bm1373 chip miners if possible. thanks again.
If you can't buy these ASICs yet, there are plenty of ASIC analogs for solo mining in China.

Choose the models you need and look for them in Chinese stores, although I hope that hammerminer will find partners in Asia as well.
Hammer Miner, What about partners in Russia?
If you're worried about sanctions, choose a partner in China, and your devices will then end up in Russia.
The 3d stands are nice.
I AM ON THE ROAD. But when I get home I will follow up with some more videos as I want to point out cooling features that I have yet to
mention.
send me a dm when you get back home - no rush - I wanna see if you got this miner I have - if you do, you might have some advice. I just dont wantto derail your thread here.
pm sent I am back home.
back to review. cooling is vey smart on this gear.
my bc04 dc04 dc08 all offer 2 not 1 fan jacks.
I do not know of any small 4/6/8 chip miner doing this except for hammer.
look at this photo two 4 pin jacks
I put a nouctua 3000 rpm 4 pin pwm fan on the front
moved the Oem stock fan to the back and it cools both the power supply and the back of the unit.
the gear is super cool temps.
I want to be clear the extra feature are on the multi chip units
4 chip btc miner has 2 fan jacks and the ethernet jack
Those features are on the bc04 I tested and demoed
https://altairtech.io/product/hammer-miner-bc04-home-bitcoin-miner/
I also owned and tested these both have 2 fan hook up with ethernet cables
and the dc04 https://mineshop.eu/hammer-miner-dc04-210mhs
and the dc08 https://www.hammerminer.com/dc08.html
I am working on getting the newer chip bm1373 models
but frankly for me the BC04 , DC04 , DC08 models are really nice gear.
I am getting the futurebit soon .
I will compare it with these and of course show the modded t21
A grand total of :
4 from hammer miner
1 from futurebit
1 diy 2 board t21 using parts from zeus (the fan) and altairtech (the controller)
all of the above on hand
and hoping for some bm1373 chip miners from hammer.
All of the above are what I define as hobby gear. which under USA law means that over a five year time period you lost money in all five years or in four of five year you lost.
to be a business under usa law you need to make a profit in at least 2 of 5 years.
my 10 big bitmain miners getting hosted at corx make a profit and are a business miner.
there is a place for hobby
there is a place for business
when it comes to mining.
For me right now in my home the modded t21 is too costly to continue to mine
my summer power is 28 cents a kwatt and I can not justify mine and spend that much power.
but mining the BC01 at 17 the BC04 at 70 the DC04 at 47 and the DC08 at 94
is only $1.51 a day in power in the summer
and $1.13 a day in power in the winter.
I keep the BTC miners on solo and just mine and stack the scrypt miner coins.
so I could hit a solo block and holy freaking shit I score
or ltc /doge could spike and I do okay
