Goldshell KD2
Réponse rapide
The Goldshell KD2 is a Blake2s miner rated about 6 TH/s at roughly 830 W. An industrial-class unit — loud and power-hungry, best suited to a dedicated mining space, not living areas.
Heater-Class Miner
At 830W, this miner outputs approximately 2832 BTU/hr of heat — equivalent to a standard electric space heater. Every watt consumed by an ASIC miner is converted to heat with 100% efficiency, making it a space heater that also mines Bitcoin.
During heating season, miner heat can offset part of the heat a room would otherwise need from another electric heater. The economics depend on your electricity rate, room heat demand, BTC price, network difficulty, and noise constraints.

Home Mining Assessment
The Goldshell KD2 is a Blake2s cryptocurrency miner manufactured by Goldshell. It delivers a hashrate of 6 TH/s with a power consumption of 830W, achieving an efficiency of 138.3 J/TH.
Weighs 7300 kg, measures 200 x 264 x 290mm.
With a home mining score of 22/100, this miner is best suited for dedicated mining spaces for residential use. It produces 2832 BTU/h of heat output, making it suitable for supplemental space heating.
At 138.3 J/TH, the Goldshell KD2 sits in the legacy efficiency tier, so it is most economical run as a space heater or for hobby and learning setups rather than for pure profit.
Its waste heat (around 2832 BTU/h) can be ducted into a room, turning money you would otherwise spend on heating into hashrate.

Foire aux questions
What are the current mining economics for the Goldshell KD2?
At $0.07/kWh, the Goldshell KD2 currently shows an estimated daily net cost of $1.20 before pool fees and hardware cost. Lower electricity rates, network changes, BTC price changes, or useful heat recovery can change the result.
Can I mine Bitcoin at home with the Goldshell KD2?
The Goldshell KD2 has a home mining score of 22/100. With 0 dB noise and 830W power draw, it may require a dedicated space like a garage, basement, or outdoor enclosure. Consider noise insulation and proper ventilation.
Can the Goldshell KD2 heat my home?
The Goldshell KD2 outputs approximately 2832 BTU/hr of heat. For reference, a typical space heater produces 5,000-5,500 BTU/hr. All electrical energy consumed by the miner is converted to heat, making it 100% efficient as a heater. D-Central offers Bitcoin Space Heater builds designed specifically for home heating integration.
What power supply does the Goldshell KD2 need?
The Goldshell KD2 draws 830W of power. You need a power supply rated for at least 913W with appropriate voltage (200-240V AC). D-Central stocks compatible power supplies in our shop. Always use a quality PSU from a reputable manufacturer to protect the miner and wiring.
