The combination
Why Nerdminer V2 and BitMiner One together?
The duo pairs the small classic with its successor. The Nerdminer V2 hashes at 300 kH/s in mini format, the BitMiner One reaches around 1,000 kH/s with the BitMiner24 firmware and has the large 2.8-inch touch display. Both are passively cooled and run silently, the living room included.
Together you see right away what a newer board and a bigger display change. Both mine independently to your own bitcoin address, and their attempts per second add up. You can also give each device its own address, for example if you give one away. You operate the V2 with its buttons and the One right on the touch display.
Both draw under 1 W: we count the V2 at 1 W and the One at its measured 0.65 W while mining (measured 0.63 to 0.66 W). That is about 1.7 W together, roughly €5.06 a year at €0.35/kWh running 24/7. There are no subscriptions or pool fees.
You set up each device once on its own: the One over Bluetooth with the BitMiner24 app and the V2 via its setup Wi-Fi (QR code). After a firmware update, the Nerdminer V2 can also be set up with the BitMiner24 app. Both need your 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi and your bitcoin address; after that they run without a computer.
The V2 measures 70 × 32 × 21 mm, the One 90 × 55 × 15.5 mm; it sits on the supplied stand and works with a finger or the touch stylus. Two USB-C cables are in the box. Power adapters are not included; you need one per device with 5 V and at least 1 A.
To be honest, a block find with microcontroller miners is extremely rare and purely a matter of luck; the duo is a quiet technology set and not a route to income.
No fan
Both devices are passively cooled and therefore silent.
Classic and successor
The V2 in mini format, the One with a large touch display.
Low power
Under 2 W together, roughly €5 of electricity a year.
Who is the bundle for?
For anyone who wants mining quiet and visible on the desk, or who wants to give one miner away and keep the other. Thanks to passive cooling both also fit where a fan would bother you, such as the living room or bedroom.
