IceRiver KS2
Double-power Kaspa miner from IceRiver with 2 TH/s. Same chassis as KS1 but with doubled hashrate and power draw.
Heater-Class Miner
At 1,200W, this miner outputs approximately 4094.4 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
Double-power Kaspa miner from IceRiver with 2 TH/s. Same chassis as KS1 but with doubled hashrate and power draw.
The IceRiver KS2 is a KHeavyHash cryptocurrency miner manufactured by IceRiver. It delivers a hashrate of 2 TH/s with a power consumption of 1200W, achieving an efficiency of 600 J/TH.
Built on the Custom ASIC ASIC chip, uses air cooling, operates at 65 dB noise level, weighs 15 kg, measures 370x195x290.
With a home mining score of 52/100, this miner is moderately suitable for residential use. It produces 4094.4 BTU/h of heat output, making it suitable for supplemental space heating.
At 600 J/TH, the IceRiver KS2 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 4094.4 BTU/h) can be ducted into a room, turning money you would otherwise spend on heating into hashrate.
