Buy the Canaan Avalon Nano 3S: the step between a Bitaxe and a heater

The Nano 3S sits right in the gap between our solo miners and the Ofen 3. A Bitaxe Gamma does about 1.1 TH/s on 18 watts. The Nano 3S does 6 TH/s on 140 watts, in a housing the size of a thick book. In low mode it makes about 29 dB, quieter than most laptops; at full power that rises to 36 to 40 dB, audible but not disturbing. It sits on your desk, warms your hands and mines at an efficiency of 23.3 J/TH in the meantime.

To be fair: this is not an open-source product. Canaan is a large manufacturer, the firmware is closed and you manage the miner through the Avalon Family app. That's the trade-off for five times the hashrate of a Bitaxe at twice the price. If open source matters more to you than hashrate, the Bitaxe series remains your home. If you'd rather take a step further, the Ofen 3 Base is where real heating begins.
