Goldshell AE-BOX II
Quick answer
The Goldshell AE-BOX II is a Zksnark miner rated about 54 MH/s at roughly 530 W. Quiet and efficient enough for home or desktop solo mining.
Heater-Class Miner
At 530W, this miner outputs approximately 1808 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.
