Baikal BK-G28
Quick answer
The Baikal BK-G28 is a X11 miner rated about 28 GH/s at roughly 1,300 W. An industrial-class unit — loud and power-hungry, best suited to a dedicated mining space, not living areas.
Heater-Class Miner
At 1,300W, this miner outputs approximately 4436 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.
