The Jasminer X4 Etchash Brick (via FanlessTech) miner arrived at Amazon with a high price tag of $ 2,099. However, unlike other ASIC miners with harsh ears and electricity bills, the Jasminer X4 Etchash Brick has a fanless design and a 30W chip. Miners take advantage of Sunlune Technology’s Jasminer X4 chip. It uses 3D chip stacking with silicon penetration vias (TSVs). This technology allowed Sunlune to mount a computing unit and a data storage unit on the same chip.
The Jasminer X4 is a large 45x45mm chip with a die size of 678mm². The chip has 5GB of memory and provides up to 1TBps of memory bandwidth. From a mining performance standpoint, the Jasminer X4 probably offers up to 65MH / s and Ethereum mining consumes about 23W. Of course, Ethereum plans to do a proof of stake at some point in the next four months (probably already postponed multiple times), but the Jasmine X4 has other options.
Popular Ethash and popular cryptocurrencies that open the door to numerous cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum Classic (ETC), Ethereum (ETH), Metaverse ETP (ETP), Expansion (EXP), Pill (PIRL), Dubai Coin (DBIX) and more. Supports the Etchash algorithm. ), RESOC, EtherGem (EGEM), Ellaism (ELLA), Atheios (ATH), MixMarvel (MIX), Callisto (CLO), Mother of All Chains (MOAC), Ether-1 (ETHO), EthereumX (ETX). However, Ethereum is by far the most profitable option of all of these today.
The Jasminer X4 Etchash Brick measures 257x100x200mm and weighs 4.8kg. It’s technically portable enough to take it with you on your trip, and small enough that you can stack hundreds of them in a room. The device only needs an Ethernet connection to the Internet. Aesthetically, the Jasminer X4 Etchash Brick looks like a crossover between the PlayStation 2 and the lunch box.
The company evaluates the Jasminer X4 Etchash Brick with an operating temperature between 0 and 40 degrees Celsius and a power consumption of approximately 30W. It consumes less power, but a modest hash rate and high price mean that it will take a long time for miners to reach the break-even point. Based on current profitability, Brick can make a net profit of about $ 2.85 per day.
The Jasminer X4 Etchash Brick is available on Amazon for $ 2,099. However, Jingle Mining, the official global distributor of the Jasminer X4 series, sells miners for $ 1,449, $ 550 off regular price. In any case, it’s not a good time to invest in an ASIC miner, as Ethereum’s transition from a proof-of-work (PoW) model to a proof-of-stake (PoS) model is just a few months away. At Ethereum, it currently takes more than 500 days to reach the break-even point (using discounted prices). When the merge is complete, that time can be doubled.
