Asic Rockminer Today we review a good old SHA/256 Bitcoin miner.
Have you heart about the new R-Box Rockminer? Its a Chinese Cheap sha-256 asic miner, that is a competitor of the expensive but populair hex-fury.
Whit the Fux-Fury you need a really good USB hub, a powerfull power-supply, a usb power injector, and you need 5.2 volt instead of 5 volts.
No need for that whit the Rockminer, moste shops will sell them complete whit power-full power-supply, no injectors are needed, and it will not burn you house down.
Numbers:
The Rockminer will cost you around 80 bucks, whitout shipping at most shops.
It seems the "R-Box Rockminer" can make Return on Investment whit a little luck, the Fex-fury will never make RoI and cost around $150 Dollars.
My first test of the Rockminer this night is successfully, It seems to run whit low hardware errors, is 43 Celsius hot, and uses 36 watts of power at 240 volts. Its really well build and reall let me think to the Gridseed miners ;-)
