ElphaPex DG2 Mini (2.4GH)

The ElphaPex DG2 Mini is a compact, Scrypt-optimized ASIC miner that delivers a sustained hashrate of 2.4 GH/s while drawing 530 W of power, translating to an energy efficiency of approximately 0.22 J/MH, and is expressly intended for mining Litecoin, Dogecoin and compatible Scrypt-based coins; with dimensions of 230 × 198 × 140 mm and a mass of 4.5 kg it is suitable for domestic deployments, features Ethernet connectivity and accepts standard input voltages between 110 and 240 V, and employs a high‑speed air‑cooling system that maintains stable thermal control for reliable long‑term operation-recommended ambient conditions for optimal efficiency are roughly 5–35 °C although the unit is specified to operate up to 65 °C and within 0–90% relative humidity-its acoustic signature is low enough for nonintrusive home use, typically around 45 dB with situational peaks near 50 dB depending on ambient conditions, and the device’s user‑oriented setup and compact form factor offer a pragmatic balance of silence, performance and durability; from an economic and ethical perspective the DG2 Mini represents a measured option for individual miners seeking to limit energy footprint and operational disturbance while maintaining consistent output and straightforward integration into existing home power and network environments.

I write this as if the machine were a breathing body, compact and defiant, a 2.4 GH/s heart beating through 530 W of current and keeping its arithmetic lean at 0.22 J/MH; its casing measures 230 x 198 x 140 mm and it weighs 4.5 kg, small enough for a room but loud enough to remind you of the cost of power. It is built to chase Dogecoin, Litecoin and Bells with Ethernet tethering that refuses the loneliness of wireless dreams and a universal voltage appetite from 110 to 240 V so it slips into ordinary sockets without ceremony. The fans are high‑speed and the air cooling is ruthless, shoving heat out so temperatures can wander from 5 up to 65 °C while humidity tolerates up to 90 percent, which means it will keep mining where softer devices would fold. Noise sits around 50 dB, a steady whisper that becomes background to domestic life and yet a small, constant protest in your apartment. Setup is plain and quick, meant for people who want work without ritual and reliability without apology. Efficiency here is not a virtue to brag about but a muscle trained to spare energy and keep output steady over time. Compact dimensions and modest weight make it easy to place, and its steady uptime and thermal control are practical armor against the slow attrition of long campaigns. Owning one feels like adopting a small, industrious creature that endures heat and humidity and keeps earning while you sleep. The DG2 Mini is not spectacle; it is a pragmatic, almost ascetic device that answers the social mockery of noisy, wasteful rigs by quietly delivering consistent hashpower and low fuss integration into a home or small professional setup.

Scrypt is een cryptografische hashfunctie die als ruggengraat dient van NiceHash proof-of-work consensusmechanisme. Dit algoritme verwerkt invoergegevens van elke lengte en produceert een vaste hash-waarde, wat zorgt voor veiligheid en integriteit in het miningproces.
