PinIdea DR-100

The PinIdea DR-100 is a purpose-built X11 ASIC that delivers a steady 19 GH/s while drawing 900 W, yielding an energy intensity of 47.37 J/GH-a figure that translates regulatory clarity into operational expectation: predictable throughput per watt. Its engineering is unapologetically functional-optimized PCB layout to minimize interference, a robust cooling architecture that sustains performance under load, and built‑in pool compatibility with automatic failover to preserve uptime-yet those dry metrics coalesce into a machine that quietly does its job: compact at 150 × 180 × 380 mm and weighing 5 kg, it runs at a modest 55 dB so deployment options broaden beyond industrial halls into denser domestic or small-rack environments. Tailored primarily for Dash but fully capable of mining other X11 coins such as DigitalpriceClassic, MonetaryUnit and Onix, the DR-100 balances its 2017 pedigree with cost‑effective operation, offering miners a clear trade-off between hashrate and power draw; combined with profit‑estimation tools that project daily, monthly and annual returns while incorporating varying electricity costs, operators can model scenarios, stress-test margins and optimize pool selection and runtime scheduling to maximize yield and manage risk.

The PinIdea DR-100, forged in August 2017 and refined by a lively modding community, is a compact X11 ASIC that quietly balances brute arithmetic and practical engineering: it delivers about 19 GH/s while drawing 900 W for an energy profile of roughly 47.37 J/GH, housed in a 150 × 180 × 380 mm chassis that tips the scales at 5 kg and emits near 55 dB - small and unobtrusive enough to migrate from a dusty warehouse to a home rack without commanding a permit; its custom ASICs and optimized PCB reduce signal noise and wasted cycles, while firmware that permits modest tuning and community-driven updates lets operators chase higher stability or slightly different performance envelopes, and its dual-fan cooling and thermal-aware layout keep hashing rates steady during long runs. Compatible with the major X11 coins - Dash as the primary target, with DigitalpriceClassic, MonetaryUnit and Onix also within reach - the DR-100 integrates automatic pool failover to blunt downtime and supports the usual TCP/HTTP pool protocols, making it simple to fold into existing farms; practical deployment, however, still demands attention to mains stability and a PSU sized with headroom above the 900 W draw, clean airflow, dust management and temperature monitoring to protect longevity and maintain consistent hashrate. For operators modeling returns and operational risk, the unit’s predictable throughput simplifies scenario planning: hash, power draw, and ambient conditions map directly into run-time schedules, pool selection strategies and maintenance cycles, and the active user base has produced guides and tweaks for improved efficiency and quieter operation - small, serviceable, and stubbornly relevant, the DR-100 reads like a machine with memories of lab nights and apartment hums, designed to do one thing well and to be adapted by those who keep a close watch on LEDs, fan RPMs and marginal gains.

X11 ist eine kryptografische Hash-Funktion, die als Rückgrat von Dash Proof-of-Work-Konsensmechanismus. Dieser Algorithmus verarbeitet Eingabedaten beliebiger Länge und erzeugt einen festen Hash-Wert, der Sicherheit und Integrität im Mining-Prozess gewährleistet.
