Goldshell HS3 SE (930GH)

Two firmware selectable modes. HNS mode: 930 GH/s Handshake at 930W and 1.0 J/GH. SC mode: 1,860 GH/s Siacoin (Blake2B-Sia) at 500W and approximately 0.27 J/GH. ±5 percent tolerance on both hashrate and power. Switch modes through the Goldshell firmware interface without hardware changes. The HS3 SE cannot mine both algorithms simultaneously.

Goldshell retuned the standard HS3 platform for quieter operation. Standard HS3: 2 TH/s HNS at 2,000W and 75 dB from two high speed fans. HS3 SE: 930 GH/s HNS at 930W and 55 dB from four lower speed fans. Roughly half the hashrate, half the power, 20 dB quieter. Efficiency per gigahash stays identical (1.0 J/GH) confirming a linear power reduction rather than an architectural change. The "SE" is for operators who want the HS3 chip architecture without industrial noise.

Ano. Režim SC produkuje 1 860 GH/s Siacoin (Blake2B-Sia) při 500W. Režim Siacoin spotřebovává o 46 procent méně energie než režim HNS (500W proti 930W), čímž snižuje denní náklady na elektřinu zhruba z 1,56 USD na přibližně 0,84 USD při ceně 0,07 USD za kWh. Když příjmy z Handshake nepokryjí náklady na elektřinu, přepnutí na režim SC s nižší spotřebou energie může zlepšit denní ekonomiku nebo snížit ztráty při zachování účasti v blockchainu.

55 dB from four cooling fans. Audible but manageable in a residential setting behind a closed door. Louder than a quiet refrigerator (40 to 45 dB), quieter than a normal conversation at arm's length (60 dB), and substantially below industrial 75 dB territory. Practical for garages, basements, utility rooms, or dedicated closets with ventilation. Not recommended for shared bedrooms, quiet home offices, or open plan living spaces.

HS Lite at 1,360 GH/s HNS / 2,900 GH/s SC and 50 dB. HS3 SE at 930 GH/s HNS / 1,860 GH/s SC and 55 dB. The HS Lite delivers 46 percent more HNS hashrate and 56 percent more SC hashrate at 5 dB quieter operation but higher power draw (1,250W HNS versus 930W). The HS3 SE is smaller, lighter (7.3 versus 8.1 kg), and draws less power in both modes. For operators prioritizing lower power draw per unit, the HS3 SE fits. For operators maximizing hashrate at similar acoustic level, the HS Lite fits.

HS3 at 2 TH/s HNS, 2,000W, 75 dB industrial. HS3 SE at 930 GH/s HNS, 930W, 55 dB. The HS3 delivers approximately 115 percent more HNS hashrate at double the power draw and industrial noise level requiring dedicated mining space with sound isolation. The HS3 SE deploys in a garage or basement behind a closed door. Same chip architecture, different operating points. Choose based on whether noise constraints or hashrate priority drives your deployment.

90 to 264V AC input with built in PSU. The widest voltage range in Goldshell's HS lineup. The 90V floor is 10 to 20V below most ASIC miners' minimum, providing genuine operating margin on power systems with brownout conditions or voltage sag. In HNS mode at 930W: approximately 8.5 amps at 110V, approximately 4.2 amps at 220V. In SC mode at 500W: approximately 4.5 amps at 110V. Both modes sit well within standard residential circuit capacity worldwide.

Yes. Three specifications support residential deployment. Voltage: 90 to 264V with built in PSU runs on any standard outlet worldwide. Noise: 55 dB is manageable behind a closed interior door. Power: 930W HNS mode or 500W SC mode fits standard residential circuits without upgrades. Heat: approximately 3,173 BTU per hour in HNS mode is manageable with standard room ventilation. For apartments or spaces where even 55 dB is too much, the 35 dB HS Box or HS Box II offer quieter desktop alternatives at lower hashrate.

At standard residential electricity rates ($0.08 to $0.12 per kWh), both HNS and SC mining on the HS3 SE produce negative daily margins at April 2026 conditions. MillionMiner's calculator shows -$1.40 daily in HNS mode at $0.08 per kWh. SC mode reduces the loss through lower power draw. At industrial rates ($0.03 to $0.05 per kWh), breakeven or marginal positive margins are possible depending on token prices. Mining either coin at current conditions is a speculative position on future token appreciation rather than guaranteed daily income. The dual algorithm flexibility provides an exit valve: when one token drops, switch to the other.

MM lists 5 to 45 degrees Celsius. Most distributor documentation and Bitcoin Merch specifications list 5 to 35 degrees Celsius. The 35 degree maximum ceiling is tighter than typical Bitcoin ASICs, reflecting the compact chassis and power density. For Gulf region or hot climate deployments, the HS3 SE needs air conditioned space to stay below 35 degrees Celsius during peak ambient temperatures. Cold climate deployment down to 5 degrees Celsius operates without facility heating.

Handshake is a decentralized blockchain managing DNS root zone records. Instead of ICANN controlling domain name resolution globally, Handshake distributes top level domain ownership through blockchain based auctions. HNS is the native token for name registration, renewal, and transfer. The thesis is decentralized internet infrastructure governance. Exchange availability has narrowed since 2023 with delistings from several major platforms. Research HNS token liquidity and development activity before committing mining capital.

Siacoin powers the Sia decentralized cloud storage network. Users rent unused hard drive space to storage clients through smart contracts, with SC as the payment token. Sia competes with AWS S3 and Filecoin on distributed storage pricing. Siacoin maintains broader exchange support than HNS with an active development community building the Sia V2 storage protocol upgrade. SC typically offers more liquid exit paths than HNS for mined tokens.

264 x 200 x 290 mm compact chassis at 7.3 kg net weight. Approximately the size of a small desktop PC tower. Same dimensions as the HS Lite but 0.8 kg lighter. Built in PSU means no external power supply box to accommodate. Fits on standard shelves, desks, or floor placement. Four cooling fans with front intake and rear exhaust.

Yes. The HS3 SE includes an integrated power supply unit accepting 90 to 264V AC input directly. No external PSU to purchase, match, or configure. Plug the included power cable directly into any standard grounded outlet. Consistent with Goldshell's HS and Box series design philosophy where internal PSU simplifies deployment.

Three step setup. Plug the HS3 SE into any 90 to 264V outlet using the included power cable. Connect Ethernet cable to router or switch. Find miner IP through Goldshell finder tool or router DHCP, open web interface, select mining mode (HNS or SC), configure pool URL and wallet address, change default credentials. Goldshell also supports mobile app configuration for iOS and Android. Total setup time approximately 10 to 15 minutes.

HNS mode: AntPool (3 percent PPS), DxPool (3 percent PPS+), ViaBTC (4 percent PPS+, 2 percent PPLNS), 6block, Poolflare, and other Handshake pools. SC mode: F2Pool, SiaMining, Luxor, and other Blake2B-Sia pools. Pool availability shifts over time; verify pool operational status before deployment since smaller algorithm pools occasionally go offline. Pool fees typically 2 to 4 percent on HNS, 1 to 3 percent on SC.

Yes, though hosting economics are challenging for niche algorithm miners with low daily revenue at current conditions. MillionMiner hosting facilities accept HS3 SE units on standard single phase power. At industrial hosted rates ($0.04 to $0.06 per kWh), daily electricity drops to approximately $0.89 to $1.34 in HNS mode, improving margin compared to residential self hosting. Contact MillionMiner for hosting availability.

Minimal for a home tier miner. Quarterly dust cleaning of four fan intake and exhaust grilles. Annual fan bearing inspection (listen for vibration or clicking). No coolant management, water loops, or filter replacement. Monitor hashrate through Goldshell web interface or mobile app for degradation. Solid state hardware with no moving parts beyond fans. Released November 2020, meaning units in field have established multi year reliability track records.

Honest assessment: at April 2026 conditions the HS3 SE is a speculative hardware purchase. Daily revenue on both HNS and SC does not cover electricity at standard residential rates. The investment thesis requires belief in future HNS or SC token price appreciation. The HS3 SE's advantages in that speculative context: dual algorithm flexibility to follow whichever network offers better economics, 55 dB quiet enough for residential deployment behind a closed door, SC mode at 500W reduces daily burn during low revenue periods, and 90 to 264V wide voltage handles unreliable grid conditions. For operators already holding HNS or SC tokens and wanting to accumulate more at below market electricity cost (industrial hosting), the HS3 SE delivers hardware for that strategy.
