# 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.

**Heat Output**
11260 BTU/hr

Include heating offset in profit calculation

**Heat Output**
11260 BTU/hr

Adjusted Daily Profit: --

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.
