DragonMint T1
Historic Halong Mining miner that challenged Bitmain's monopoly. Uses DM8575 chip with AsicBoost support. Rare on secondary market.
Quick answer
The DragonMint T1 is a Bitcoin miner rated about 16 TH/s at roughly 1,480 W (about 92.5 J/TH), built on the DM8575 ASIC. An industrial-class unit — loud and power-hungry, best suited to a dedicated mining space, not living areas.
Professional-Grade Miner
This miner draws 1,480W and has a published or reviewed noise value of 75 dB. It requires infrastructure appropriate to its documented input power, airflow and installation requirements; verify the exact manual before choosing a circuit or location.
For home miners looking for a quieter alternative, consider our Bitcoin Space Heater builds or explore open-source miners like the Bitaxe that are purpose-built for residential environments.
Heater-Class Miner
At 1,480W, this miner outputs approximately 5049.8 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
Historic Halong Mining miner that challenged Bitmain's monopoly. Uses DM8575 chip with AsicBoost support. Rare on secondary market.
The DragonMint T1 is a SHA-256 cryptocurrency miner manufactured by Halong Mining. It delivers a hashrate of 16 TH/s with a power consumption of 1480W, achieving an efficiency of 92.5 J/TH.
Built on the DM8575 ASIC chip, uses air cooling, operates at 75 dB noise level, weighs 6 kg, measures 321x125x215.
With a home mining score of 22/100, this miner is best suited for dedicated mining spaces for residential use. It produces 5049.8 BTU/h of heat output, making it effective for supplemental space heating.
At 92.5 J/TH, the DragonMint T1 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 5049.8 BTU/h) can be ducted into a room, turning money you would otherwise spend on heating into hashrate.
