Goldshell AE Max
The Goldshell AE Max is a Zksnark miner rated about 360 MH/s at roughly 3,300 W. An industrial-class unit — loud and power-hungry, best suited to a dedicated mining space, not living areas.
Professional-Grade Miner
This miner draws 3,300W and produces 55 dB of noise — it is designed for dedicated mining environments, not living spaces. Professional-grade miners deliver the highest hashrate and revenue per unit but require proper infrastructure: a 240V circuit, adequate ventilation or exhaust ducting, and a space where noise is not a concern (garage, basement, warehouse, or outdoor enclosure).
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.
Circuit Requirement 240V dedicated circuit
Heater-Class Miner
At 3,300W, this miner outputs approximately 11260 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.

Heating offset estimates the value of heat replacing an electric space heater during heating season (~6 months/year in Canada). Actual savings depend on your heating setup and climate.
Home Mining Assessment
Score: 21/100
Noise: 55 dB Audible - best in a separate room
Heat Output: 3,300W / 11260 BTU High heat - requires ventilation or duct system
Power Draw: 3,300W (3.3kW)
240V dedicated circuit required
The Goldshell AE Max is a Zksnark cryptocurrency miner manufactured by Goldshell. It delivers a hashrate of 360 MH/s with a power consumption of 3300W, achieving an efficiency of 9166666.7 J/TH. Operates at 55 dB noise level, weighs 13.5 kg, measures 264×200×290mm.
With a home mining score of 21/100, this miner is best suited for dedicated mining spaces for residential use. It produces 11260 BTU/h of heat output, making it effective for supplemental space heating. At 9166666.7 J/TH, the Goldshell AE Max 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 11260 BTU/h) can be ducted into a room, turning money you would otherwise spend on heating into hashrate.
