Innosilicon A10 ETHMaster (500Mh)

The Innosilicon A10 ETHMaster (500Mh) is a Etchash miner rated about 500 MH/s at roughly 750 W. An industrial-class unit — loud and power-hungry, best suited to a dedicated mining space, not living areas.

Heater-Class Miner

At 750W, this miner outputs approximately 2559 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.

Heat Output: 2559 BTU/hr

Home Mining Assessment

Score: 22/100 (Poor)

  • Heat Output: 750W / 2559 BTU
  • Moderate heat - can supplement room heating
  • Power Draw: 750W (0.8kW)
  • Dedicated 120V circuit recommended

The Innosilicon A10 ETHMaster (500Mh) is an Etchash cryptocurrency miner manufactured by Innosilicon. It delivers a hashrate of 500 MH/s with a power consumption of 750W, achieving an efficiency of 1500000 J/TH. It weighs 8100 kg and measures 136 x 285 x 362 mm.

With a home mining score of 22/100, this miner is best suited for dedicated mining spaces for residential use. It produces 2559 BTU/h of heat output, making it suitable for supplemental space heating.

At 1500000 J/TH, the Innosilicon A10 ETHMaster (500Mh) 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 2559 BTU/h) can be ducted into a room, turning money you would otherwise spend on heating into hashrate.
