Goldshell AE Max (360MH)

What if mining were judged less by sheer noise of profit and more by the moral weight of privacy and efficiency? The Goldshell AE Max answers that question with clinical brevity: a purpose-built ASIC for the zkSNARK algorithm that powers ALEO, delivering up to 360 MH/s while drawing 3300 W for an energy profile near 9.17 J/MH, a trade-off calibrated for operators who prize sustained throughput and predictable returns in high-yield deployments; its 264 × 200 × 290 mm chassis and 13.5 kg mass make it compact enough for rack integration without sacrificing thermal discipline, thanks to four high-speed fans, an operational sound level around 70 dB and specified environmental tolerances of 5–45°C and 5–65% humidity, all of which underscore a design intent toward stable, continuous operation; beyond raw figures, the AE Max is an entry point into ALEO’s privacy-preserving smart-contract ecosystem-specialized hardware that asks us to consider whether committing watts to secrecy and scalability is merely a technical decision or a moral stance about who controls private computation in decentralized systems.

The Goldshell AE Max is a purpose-built ASIC for zkSNARK mining on the ALEO network, designed from the ground up for enterprise deployment. It delivers up to 360 MH/s while drawing 3300 W, resulting in an energy efficiency around 9.17 J/MH. Network-grade Ethernet and wide input tolerance of 180–280 V simplify integration into datacenter power and connectivity architectures. Four high-speed fans and a robust enclosure keep operation stable across 5–45°C and 5–65% relative humidity, which reduces thermal throttling and service interventions. Launched in May 2025, the unit favors continuous, predictable throughput and long uptimes instead of short-term peak figures. For operators the AE Max scales well in clusters, where its efficiency and steady performance translate directly into more reliable ALEO participation. Evaluated against variables like electricity cost, network difficulty, and maintenance overhead, the miner behaves as a durable infrastructure component that aligns technical efficiency with the network’s privacy-focused goals.

zkSNARK is a cryptographic hash function that serves as the backbone of Aleo proof-of-work consensus mechanism. This algorithm processes input data of any length and produces a fixed hash value, ensuring security and integrity in the mining process.
