PinIdea DR-100 Pro

The PinIdea DR-100 Pro is a methodically engineered X11 ASIC miner that delivers a steady 21 GH/s while drawing 900 W, making it a pragmatic choice for Dash and other X11-based currencies such as DigitalpriceClassic, Axe, Onix and MonetaryUnit; its compact footprint (150 x 180 x 380 mm) and 5 kg mass allow discreet placement, and a 55 dB noise profile combined with a 12 V supply and Ethernet connectivity support stable, long-duration operation in modestly provisioned environments. Released in November 2017, the unit pairs a refined cooling architecture with ongoing firmware updates to sustain performance, reduce thermal stress and extend service life, and its consistent hash output and robust build help mitigate variance during continuous runs. For operators assessing deployments, the miner’s 900 W draw and efficiency characteristics should be balanced against local electricity costs and network difficulty - using a profit-calculation tool to project daily, monthly and annual returns while toggling power price and currency display allows clear, scenario-based comparisons; factor also in pool fees, potential downtime, ambient temperature (which affects cooling efficiency and noise), and expected difficulty growth to estimate realistic payback periods and ongoing margins.

The PinIdea DR-100 Pro arrives as a compact, purpose-built X11 ASIC that quietly asserts itself: 21 GH/s sustained while drawing 900 W - an energy profile that equates to roughly 42.86 J/GH and, at 12 volts, demands on the order of 75 amps, so plan your power supply and cabling with that intensity in mind; its dual high‑RPM fans and refined cooling pathway are not decorative, they are the engine of continuous operation, channelling heat away while a thoughtfully laid-out power distribution board prevents thermal hotspots and lengthens component life, and firmware revisions further trim rejected shares and stabilize hash output under load. The chassis of extruded aluminum stiffens the package, tames electromagnetic interference and eases heat transfer, while the form factor - 150 × 180 × 380 mm and a 5 kg mass - makes the unit easy to site where space matters; at roughly 55 dB it’s unobtrusive but not invisible, so position it where ventilation and noise tolerance align. Networking and management are straightforward via Ethernet, and the miner’s versatility extends beyond Dash to other X11 coins such as DigitalpriceClassic, Axe, Onix and MonetaryUnit, offering algorithm-specific diversification for operators who prefer spreading risk across pools and chains. Practical operators will treat it like a living system: schedule regular dust cleaning, monitor intake temperatures and fan RPMs, keep firmware current, verify PSU headroom and connector integrity, and integrate the device into monitoring dashboards to catch hash drops or rising temperatures early; when sizing deployments, weigh the 900 W draw and efficiency against local electricity rates and projected network difficulty, test pool options for latency and fee structure, and build scenarios with profit calculators and sensitivity analyses to estimate run-time margins, expected uptime impacts and realistic payback timetables - every installation decision matters, every margin counts.

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.
