Goldshell HS Box II (460GH)

Compact. Precise. The Goldshell HS Box II is tuned for home and small-scale miners who want quiet, efficient, and flexible hashing without a garage full of hardware. It runs dual algorithms - Blake2b-Sia for Siacoin at up to 1.2 TH/s (about 325 W) and Handshake at 460 GH/s (about 400 W) - so you can switch between SC and HNS to follow market signals or maximize returns. Energy efficiency is listed at 869.57 J/TH, it accepts 100–240 V input and connects via Ethernet for stable, low-latency operation. At 178 × 150 × 84 mm and 2 kg it’s truly compact; it tucks onto a shelf or into a personal rig and still breathes thanks to two high-speed fans that keep heat in check. Rated for 0 to 35 degrees Celsius and 0–65% humidity, it’s built to run reliably in typical home environments. And it’s quiet - around 35 dB - so it can live comfortably in shared spaces. Small footprint, robust cooling, dual-algo flexibility, simple network setup and a conservative operating envelope combine to make the HS Box II a practical choice for hobbyists who need dependable, energy-aware mining at home.

Numbers first: the Goldshell HS Box II delivers up to 1.2 terahashes per second on Blake2b-Sia and 460 gigahashes per second on Handshake. It draws roughly 325 watts while mining Siacoin and about 400 watts while mining Handshake. That consumption translates to approximately 7.8 kilowatt-hours per day at the lower draw and 9.6 kilowatt-hours per day at the higher draw. Energy intensity is 869.57 joules per terahash, a clear benchmark for comparing runtime efficiency. Dual-algorithm capability lets operators switch between SC and HNS to follow market signals or support different networks. The unit measures 178 by 150 by 84 millimeters and weighs two kilograms, so it tucks easily onto a shelf or into compact rigs. Two high-speed fans and a focused thermal path keep temperatures stable and preserve hashrate during extended runs. Acoustic output sits around 35 decibels, making the miner acceptable for shared living spaces. The operating window spans 0 to 35 degrees Celsius and 0 to 65 percent relative humidity, which provides a conservative envelope for reliable uptime. Ethernet connectivity supplies stable network integration and straightforward remote monitoring. Low-maintenance hardware and predictable, steady output make this device a practical choice for hobbyists and small operators who want continuous Handshake or Siacoin mining with minimal disruption, provided there is space for airflow and electricity budgeted by kilowatt-hour.

HandShake is a cryptographic hash function. Handshake relies on it for proof-of-work consensus. This algorithm processes input data of any length and produces a fixed hash value, ensuring security and integrity in the mining process.
