Goldshell XT-BOX (580GH)

The Goldshell XT-BOX 580GH/s presents itself as a compact, high-efficiency workhorse: delivering 580 GH/s for the SHA3x algorithm-primarily mining Tari (XTM)-while drawing just 400 W for an energy efficiency of 0.69 J/GH, a metric that underpins both operational discipline and clear cost-to-performance calculus; engineered as a small-form-factor ASIC measuring 198 × 150 × 95 mm and weighing approximately 2.43 kg, it is quietly optimized for residential or small-scale deployments with a noise signature around 35 dB, a level comparable to a quiet office, allowing placement near living spaces without significant disruption; strategically, this unit’s strengths are its focused algorithm optimization and low power footprint, which simplify capacity planning and make it attractive for miners prioritizing efficiency and discreet operation-its compactness eases transport and deployment, while the modest power draw reduces cooling and electrical overhead, though as with any ASIC, the device performs best within the algorithm and coin it was designed for, and prudent operators will still provide adequate ventilation and stable network and power connections to preserve longevity and steady hash output, turning what might seem like a piece of hardware into a quietly mythic asset in a well-constructed home mining strategy.

He stood beside the compact XT-BOX and listened to its twin fans like a duet that sorted truth from lie, each turn a cautious rhythm of intent. The unit targets the SHA3x algorithm and favors Tari (XTM), producing a steady 580 GH/s while consuming 400 W. That relationship yields 0.69 J per GH, an efficiency figure that quietly shapes operating choices. It measures 198 × 150 × 95 mm and tips the scale at 2.43 kg, small enough to be carried one-handed and placed on a shelf. Noise stays near 35 dB, low enough for a living room to remain a living room and for close proximity without constant complaint. Dual cooling fans and a design that tolerates 5–45°C and humidity up to 95% keep hash rates stable under many household conditions. Connectivity arrives by Ethernet or Wi‑Fi, so placement need not be chained to a router. Released in September 2025 with the latest Goldshell refinements, the miner blends improved algorithm tuning with practical engineering. The compact frame reduces footprint and shipping friction, and the modest power draw softens demands on circuits and cooling. For a home miner the priorities are clear: place it where airflow is free, secure stable power and network, and expect top performance only on the algorithm it was built for. In practice the XT-BOX works best as a component in a considered setup rather than a lone gamble, and its balance of quiet operation, portability, and energy discipline makes it a pragmatic choice for someone who values steady yield without a roomful of noise.

SHA3x is a cryptographic hash function that serves as the backbone of Tari 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.
