VolcMiner D1 16.2G Dogecoin Miner

Overview The VolcMiner D1 (16.2G) is an ASIC miner from VolcMiner, optimized for the Scrypt algorithm. It’s designed for mining cryptocurrencies like Dogecoin (DOGE), Litecoin (LTC), Bells (BEL), and other Scrypt-based coins. This model appears to be an air-cooled variant (unlike the hydro-cooled higher-hashrate versions), suitable for home or small-scale professional setups, though its high power draw and noise make it less ideal for residential use without proper ventilation. Released around October 2024, it offers a hashrate of approximately 16-17 Gh/s across variants, with the 16.2 Gh/s spec commonly cited. Prices for new units range from $4,699 to $8,400, depending on the retailer, batch, and exact hashrate configuration. Specifications Based on official and aggregated data from multiple sources, here’s a summary of the key specs. Note that there are minor inconsistencies across vendors (e.g., hashrate from 30 Gh/s to 33 Gh/s and power from 7600W to 9300W), which may reflect different configurations or testing conditions. Specification Details Manufacturer VolcMiner Model D1 Hydro Algorithm Scrypt Supported Coins DOGE, LTC, BEL, DGB, PEP, etc. Hashrate 30-33 Gh/s (official: 32 Gh/s) Power Consumption 7600-9300W (official: 7950W ±5%) Efficiency ~250-282 J/Gh Cooling Hydro-cooling Noise Level 50-75 dB Dimensions 655 x 445 x 90 mm (without packaging); up to 795 x 585 x 220 mm (with packaging) Weight 23-30 kg Interface Ethernet Operating Temp 5-45°C Humidity 5-95% Voltage 170-300V Rack Format 2U (some variants) These specs make it a powerful but energy-intensive miner, requiring a dedicated hydro-cooling setup and stable power supply. It’s not ideal for home use due to noise, size, and cooling needs.
