Baikal BK-X
Quick answer
The Baikal BK-X is a X11 miner rated about 10 GH/s at roughly 630 W. Runnable at home with proper airflow and noise control; best in a dedicated space.
Heater-Class Miner
At 630W, this miner outputs approximately 2150 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.
