Exciting New At-Home Bitcoin Miner from Moon Labs

Hey everyone! Super excited to share that my small team is wrapping up the final touches on Moon Miner, our new Bitcoin mining rig that’s about the size of a Mac mini. It’s designed to be quiet, compact, and energy-efficient. Perfect for anyone wanting to get into solo mining or just experiment with Bitcoin.

Sounds promising! Those specs you dropped seem solid. Can’t wait to see how it performs.

Wait, are you guys registered as a company? Do you have a prototype ready? Also curious about the noise levels... you planning on changing the size too? Keeping it cool on a small device could be tough.

We’re in the process of getting everything official, should be good to go before we launch. I’ll share the details once we’re near production. Right now we have a sample that’s around 15 x 20 cm, aiming to keep it close to Mac mini size.

Nice, love the home solo mining angle! What ASIC chip are you using? I heard v2 is using a 5nm process, that’s pretty high-tech! Efficiency looks fine when you consider the whole setup.

Yeah, the cooling is key. It’s not super small considering the specs mention 2520 cm3, while Apollo is about 1500. Also, it’ll be taller than the Mac mini. Noise is another issue to think about.

Looking forward to more updates on this!

Damn, you beat me to it! Been working on something similar myself.

Thanks! I'll share some photos and a testing report soon.

Can't wait for it!

That’s awesome! Would love to hear more about your project too!

For the first version, I managed to get some 14nm chips from Bitfury but will spill the details on the v2 chip during the launch in about a month. Not the best efficiency, but hey, it’s a compact device.

Exactly, I’m curious about the chip too. 5nm isn’t cheap at all. Always good to see more players in the mining game. If you need a reviewer, hit me up! Love home miners. What voltage are you planning? 110V would be ideal for home setups. Right now, Apollo seems to be your only competition.

Gotta say, I’m leaning towards the v2 model. 300 watts sounds sweet!

They probably are using Bitmain or MicroBT’s 5nm chips, just like Sidehack’s CompacF. Doubt they could afford over 8 million for the litho masks alone.

Hey team at Moon Labs, any updates on release dates or preorder info?

I’m thinking the v2’s chip might be Intel's BlockScale ASIC. Heard it uses TSMC’s 5nm process. Can’t wait to see the final product.

Interesting stuff! Will it have a wallet feature?

Really looking forward to more info. Will you be shipping worldwide?

Any updates from Moon Labs? This thread kinda went quiet.
