Spondoolies Tech is Back With SPx36, a 540 GHS X11 ASIC Miner

5, Sep 2018

Those of you that have been into the world of crypto for longer than two years probably remember the Israeli Bitcoin mining hardware manufacturer Spondoolies-Tech that has shut down its operation back in early 2016, well, the company seems to be back with the same team and a new ASIC miner. This time however Spondoolies Tech is not going for the Bitcoin ASIC market, instead they have announced a very powerful and pretty expensive X11 ASIC miner. Spondoolies Tech SPx36 is a new deice that supposedly can deliver 540 GHS X11 mining hashrate with 4.4 kW of power usage, giving you an efficiency rate of 8.1 J/GHs, but at a hefty price of $15500 USD and with deliveries scheduled for October 2018.

Spondoolies Tech SPx36 Specifications:
– Hash rate: 540 GH/s (+/- 10% at 25 °C)
– Power usage: 4400 W
– Efficiency: 8.1 J/Gh/s
– Operating temperature: 5-35 °C
– Dimensions with PSU handles: 595 x 434 x 88 mm
– Gross Weight: 19.5 kg
– Warranty period: 180 days

Even though the news about Spondoolies Tech getting back in business and their new product being interesting specs wise, the serious price tag with the current market conditions are not going to make the device very attractive for most miners. With the current market situation the miner would be capable of mining about 10 DASH coins or roughly 10% of the price of the device per month, so not terribly bad, but still may not be worth the risk for many people. It is up to you however to decide if an investment in Spondoolies Tech SPx36 is worth or not in your own specific case.

Innosilicon A5+ DashMaster is a New 65 GHS X11 ASIC Miner

25, Mar 2018

Innosilicon has announced an upgrade to their 30 GHS A5 DashMaster X11 ASIC miner from last year in the form of a new 65 GHS X11 ASIC named Innosilicon A5+ DashMaster. The new device seems a lot like just two of the older devices joined together and the specifications also suggest something like that as well. Anyway, Innosilicon A5+ DashMaster promises 65 GHS X11 hashrate at 1500 Watts of power usage in a single device that will cost you $4200 USD or the respective value in LTC or BTC (the price does not include a power supply). The X11 ASIC market is pretty crowded already and the profitability for mining DASH especially is not very high anyway, but you could look for altcoins that might give you better results.

Innosilicon A5+ DashMaster Specifications:
– Hash Rate: 65GH/s(+/-8%)
– Power Consumption: 1500W +/-8% (at the wall, with 93% efficiency PSU, 25°C temperature )
– Chip Type: A5+ DashMaster ASIC
– Dimensions: Double tube, 265mm(L) x 250mm(W) x 155mm(H)
– Net Weight: 6.02KG(without PSU)
– Operating Temperature: 0°C—85°C (device junction temperature)
– Network Connection: Ethernet

BaikalMiner Baikal Giant X10 ASIC Miner Coming Soon

12, Sep 2017

It seems that BaikalMiner also wants to join in the recent wave of new and much faster second generation X11 ASIC miners with their Baikal Giant X10 that was just announced on their twitter account (still not on the official website). The device is supposedly going to offer 10 GHS hashrate for X11 (DASH) at 800W of power usage as well as Quark and Qubit algorithms initially with lower power usage. Support for X13, X14 and X15 is not available on this device, but there is a mention of a future update that will add 4 new algorithms. The miner will supposedly be available at a price of $1188 USD with deliveries starting by the end of October. It is certainly not the fastest, but pricing does seem pretty reasonable for what you get in terms of hashrate and the extra flexibility in the form of support for additional algorithms is interesting and still unique compared to other X11 only ASIC miners.
