The First $99 Bitcoin Mini Miner!? How To Mine BTC on a Budget!

[@GirlfightClub]

REALLY WISH KZbinrs would quit saying this is $99. It’s not, it’s $180 with plug and taxes and shipping

[@MissionMichelle911]

Shipping is the real issue. I have order 340. Original ship date Jan. They probably mean Jan 2026

[@DavidLouthan]

Lmao mine was $240

[@abdulazizabubakar1640]

[@Gumpyoldnewbieminer]

$77 was shipping and international shipping to US is usually $50 at base cost. Its Hazmat so you are going to pay more.

[@Californiagent]

Yup

[@KevinR30]

Yes! Amazing video and machine for beginners & seasoned miners. Great descriptions and walkthrough. I love your down to Earth ‘Honesty on this. Super cool.

[@CaptainCodeman]

I've have one for a couple of months (plus another just shipped) and got the official 140W PSU bundle. It works on high mode just fine, getting just over 4TH/s, and the PSU gets warm but not frighteningly hot. They are great if you need a quiet desktop heater that will run for free and may even earn a little extra $$ over time.

[@usa91787]

How much did it affect your electric bill? And did you need anything else to do mining?

[@morfbb]

Assuming they responded back to you that it was limited to medium due to the input power from the wall wart you bought not being able to supply 140W continuous power. The wall warts often advertise peak power instead of continuous power.

[@fullyelectric]

THM nice 👍 review thanks for opening it up, BTW that red/black/yellow and green cable is for the fans, the power to that board comes from the data power ribbon cable, also i think you need like a 200w PSU to support 140w without getting too hot.

[@A.Longboy22]

The power supply is a bit underrated, that’s why it was getting hot. I suggest you get a bigger power supply so you don’t lose power because of heat generation.

[@DoubleDownMining]

You might let your listeners know if you come up with a better power supply option for the nano that doesn’t get so hot

[@arthurkazanis4283]

Hi there. Great wrap of the miner. My box came a few days ago and I have been playing around with settings. I found the air speed changes don't take the first time and maybe the second. But it does change. Curious to see if you had any help from their support!! My power supply gets warm bordering on hot as well. I am more worried about the temp readings in the top right of the GUI. Correct me if I am wrong here, but it seems to max out the Terra Hashes when it is very hot. When it is cool the Terra hashes drop considerably. What happens if you live in a warm/hot environment? At what temp do you think the parts inside will cook and make this thing a brick? Cheers.

[@MrJnmill12345]

I got 2, running since last June no down time unless the power goes out

[@bradjohnson15]

The power supply you have isn't quite enough to get it to high power mode, RPM had the same issue. I'm still waiting on mine, order #509. I ordered the power supply with it so I hope I wont have the same problem that you are with your power supply. Right on, glad you took it apart, that would have been my first move as well and now I wont need to.

[@cryptocollector10]

Is this a good way of heating your house? like if you buy 10-20 of this and just heat up your house.

[@stevenkirsten8855]

What is that rated voltage this miner runs at? If it runs at 20v, then the max would be 100w at 5a. To get 140w at 20v, the ac adaptor would need to support 7a or greater, which this ac unit does not. 140w is only possible at 28v at 5a.

[@RainBitcoins]

the voltage for this device is 28v

[@sylviaayres4590]

I ordered 4 with PSU they run quietly and efficiently. 16Th/s total. I ordered 3 more to get 28 Th/s. The Canaan PSU gets hot but it is a lot farther away from the plug than the one in your video. I think it is a must to purchase their PSU to get 4 -4.19 Th/s. I'm using them for BCH. They at least mine payout with 2.

[@thatwheel]

It's been dumping and pumping in this range for ages! It's technically just going sideways, sideways means generally stagnant. More emphasis should be put into day trading, as it less affected by the unpredictable nature of the market. Trading has been going smooth for me as I managed to grow a nest egg of around 100k to a decent 732k in the space of a few months... I'm especially grateful to Linda Wilburn, whose deep expertise and traditional trading acumen have been invaluable in this challenging, ever-evolving financial landscape.

Thank you so much for taking the time to create an honest and helpful review! We will be in touch regarding your questions!

[@PyroShenanigans]

How is this a scam? A scam implies you get nothing for your money. Put it this way…. People spend $2 for a single line single draw lotto ticket. For $150 you get 144 chances EVERY DAY to hit a block. If you buy lotto tickets this thing pays for itself in one day. I like these odds. I have 2 of these coming in June. One will mine BTC and the other BCH.

[@cregtoshi]

@@PyroShenanigans Let us know what block you mine in around the year 2048. If you get one sooner well done, good luck, God Speed

Will do. Clearly you still don’t get it.

[@cregtoshi]

@@PyroShenanigans I get it, you are gonna mine two alt coins, one called BCH another that implements segwit thanks to Jefferey Epstein with your junk miner. Satoshi said Bitcoin ends in data centers, not so called home lottery miners. Bitcoin, the real Bitcoin (BSV) scales via specialized nodes like Teranode which just processed (lets see) 938,662 tps while BTC does 7-10 tps. You clearly dont get it, neither does Canaan. Good luck mining Epstein coin

I bought 3 of these. Been doing research and stock powersupplys run really hot too, maybe too much strain on it. I'm going to try and get a bigger power supply to take off strain and see if temps are better

hi friend, Very good video, I really wanted to see inside, but I wanted to see under the heatsinks. I bought 3 pieces on April 16th, I'm number 3789. It will take a while to receive them. Shipping expected at the end of June. I saw a video saying that if the power supply can't supply 140w you won't be able to use it at its maximum. Try with a 140w Apple charger for macbook

[@appahoopjack2514]

I used the Default Settings and I do NOT see any BTC Accumulation from previous days mining... Should I Configure for SOLO MINING???

[@BorcishHorde]

Solo mining gives you a fleeting small chance of earning an entire coin all to yourself. Pool mining means every time someone in the pool scores a hit everyone takes a cut Usually based on your processing power input. Since your input compared to the pool is tiny you get scraps. You’ll never get more than scraps. Likely not enough to justify power costs. It’s a lottery ticket. You solo mine and hope to win the scratch off

[@sgtfluffy7466]

I ordered mine at the beginning of april. I'm in the early 500s. But I ordered the blue with the power supply. So I believe it's going to take a little bit longer for it to arrive to me. But they're supposed to have an update at the end of this week about the shipping schedule.

[@jonathanwaugh1433]

can i know if i used 3 on this miner. if i do mining on nicehash and what is profit for month

[@SquaredAwayCrypto]

Hey Hobby, have you tried to send the 256k hash to an Un-minable wallet and see if you can really get 4000 Gh/s and maybe mine a coin like Nexa? Looks like you could get about 17 cents a day from unminable and maybe stack 50k nexa about every 2 days. Thoughts about maybe trying it? Not sure if they have it controllable or forced to their BraiinsOS pool?

[@CrashCarDave]

its possible to change pool! i have seen it on other videos about setup on this thing, i have 2 ordered but looking at late may for delivery hopefully! so what you want to do should be possible?

[@LoopingFinder]

Hello, for the wallet which one should we use to mine?

[@enjoypolo]

[@TheHobbyistMiner]

It's a Solo Bitcoin Miner..... In the video I discuss you don't earn anything unless you actually hit a Bitcoin Block. Which is like playing the lottery. Please rewatch the video, I think you missed that entire part.

[@RockDawgRadio]

So how much can you realistically mine with this thing? How much $$$ could it possibly make for $99 ???

[@dancraig2729]

Is it only a solo miner? Can it be used in a regular pool?

[@The_Prosperous_Mind]

Yes is set up for pool mining with Braiins, but you can change it for solo mining

[@stevenkirsten8855]

As far as i understand it is possible but the profits are in the pennies range, so it may be better to just solo miner for a better chance to hit a jackpot. Unfortunately Btc difficulty is too high, so btc cash might be a better choice in mining as difficulty is much lower which your odds are much better in hitting a block.

[@Low-fi360]

Sounds like it will make a good portable heater.

[@HealthierYou958]

You need the 140 watt power supply to get full hash

[@take5th]

So is a solo miner the same as pool mining?? I am confused.

[@obedharuna6317]

[@johncampbell-zj2yj]

[@SwishaMane420]

[@N1NJAKIDD]

At how many watts?

[@POWistheway]

These are not $100. After shipping, taxes, and some "tip" that I put zero dollars for but was forced to pay a "tip" the total was $230

[@MyLibertyTV]

You aren’t forced to pay that tip, you can change it to any amount including zero 😂 I’ve ordered 3 units, never was forced to tip.

[@RainBitcoins]

They are indeed 99 bucks if you have your own power supply. shipping does cost money you know. And you dont need to pay a tip to indiegogo. Heck you can even order them direct from Canaan's site now.

[@totaltrinkets]

looks nice but how long do you need it to run until it pays itself off, and start's making a profit. I do like the low power, and price. My place I can't run anything high power like most btc miners do. That's why I gave up mining. Sad...

[@sixtyinsix]

I like the concept. Won't buy one until the high mining setting is fixed.

[@VMYeahVN]

Another commenter said it's the fact that the power supply he used has 140W PEAK power (which is what most power bricks advertise), not CONTINUOUS power (the spec it actually needs to run this miner in High mode).

[@MyLibertyTV]

Nothing wrong with the setting, it’s his power supply.

[@RainBitcoins]

110% it's his power supply.

[@whitestar1199]

Ordered 3 in april but not apparently getting them till July….

[@PatchezX23]

How much will this add to the electric bill monthly?

[@BorcishHorde]

140 watts is 140 watt hours per hour. How many hours in a month? 720 That’s 100,800 watt hours in 30 days. Or 100 kilowatt hours Multiply 100 by your energy rate and that’s that. 10c is common. That’d be 10$ I have solar/powerwall so I won’t be pulling from the grid- so I’ll not pay anything- but I’ll send less to the grid. Probably 1-2$ worth in winter/spring/fall and 2-6$ in summer worth of lost income in the form of a reduced check.

[@Dan-ASICPlug]

[@ZincFold]

In most cases I've come across it turns out to be the cable's inability to supply the power needed to enable high mode.
