Antminer Pivotal Edition (S9)
D-Central custom build with modified fan configuration for directed airflow. Based on full S9. Lower noise than stock but not home-quiet.
Heater-Class Miner
At 1,350W, this miner outputs approximately 4606.2 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
D-Central custom build with modified fan configuration for directed airflow. Based on full S9. Lower noise than stock but not home-quiet.
The Antminer Pivotal Edition (S9) is a SHA-256 cryptocurrency miner manufactured by D-Central. It delivers a hashrate of 14 TH/s with a power consumption of 1350W, achieving an efficiency of 96.43 J/TH.
Built on the BM1387 ASIC chip, uses air cooling, operates at 60 dB noise level, weighs 5 kg, measures 350x135x200.
With a home mining score of 52/100, this miner is moderately suitable for residential use. It produces 4606.2 BTU/h of heat output, making it suitable for supplemental space heating.
At 96.43 J/TH, the Antminer Pivotal Edition (S9) 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 4606.2 BTU/h) can be ducted into a room, turning money you would otherwise spend on heating into hashrate.
