The brand new Mini DOGE II miner comes within the up to date barely bigger and heavier type issue in comparison with the older MINI DOGE PRO units and with twin 6-pin PCI-E energy connectors because of the elevated energy utilization, identical to the remainder of the BOX II product line. There’s a slight enchancment by way of effectivity for the upper hashrate mode the place you get 0.95 Watts per Megahash (in comparison with 1.1 Watt per Megahash for the MINI DOGE PRO), however the extra attention-grabbing effectivity sensible quantity is within the low energy mode the place you get 0.78 Watts per Megahash by way of energy utilization.
The brand new MINI DOGE II Scrypt ASIC miner is out there for order at a worth of $495 USD from the official Goldshell web site, the worth doesn’t embody transport and taxes and it’s for a WiFi geared up model (apparently wi-fi connectivity comes normal for this mannequin).

It’s fairly silent and straightforward to function, placement across the house is less complicated if utilizing WiFi connectivity and can be utilized as a compact house heater that form of covers the entire electrical energy it makes use of (relying in your electrical energy prices) in the mean time. Fascinating, however not very worthwhile new launch with the present market situations, so do assume twice earlier than pulling the set off on this one.
