I think many of you are wondering what the retail price of the new BM1374 ASIC is. To be honest, we’ve managed to reach an agreement with Nexus to purchase the entire first batch of these units—you can see this reflected in the updated graphics on the monitor displaying the "Mining Center" logo. As for our pricing: while it may differ from other retailers—and could potentially be higher or lower elsewhere in the future, which is difficult for us to predict—our current rates are as follows: $680 per unit for orders of 2 or more, $665 for 5 or more, $650 for 10 or more (all prices are ex-China). As you can see, these prices are roughly in line with ASICs based on the BM1373 chip; in other words, the current retail cost per terahash is about the same. Given that, the BM1374 is likely the better choice, as you aren't really paying a premium for the new chips. Nexus S2-4 PRO 23 TH/s

Magic

The first shipment is ready and will soon head out to its customers: the Nexus S2-4 PRO, the world's very first batch on BM1374 chips.

Probably the two best ASICs of 2026. The first is a SHA-256 miner Nexus S1-8 for solo Bitcoin mining, running the same BM1373 chips as the Antminer S23, at 40 TH/s. The second is the Elphapex DG2 Mini, a Scrypt miner doing 2.4 GH/s at 540–550W

New toy from Elphapex is here: 2.4 GH/s Scrypt at 550W

The first BM1374 prototype will soon be on its way to us for testing.

So what's hidden under the hood of the S2-4 PRO?

Honestly, I'm not even sure why I bought this monitoring station for my devices. My phone pretty much does the same thing

Something interesting is coming our way on BM1374 chips

You've probably all seen the news that the Elphapex DG2 Mini has hit warehouses in Hong Kong, and it can also be used for solo mining. This one is definitely worth a look, because for a modest price of around $600 it delivers 2.4 GH/s at 540W. I have one on its way to me for review, but it's stuck in customs over paperwork. Hopefully I'll get it next week and make a video. Just to avoid any confusion, this video isn't mine. It's from one of the suppliers in Hong Kong

Anyone know if @HashWatcher lets you set a custom power draw for each device, so it shows real wall readings instead of the lower web UI figures?

I slightly tweaked the frequency and core voltage and got a solid 40 TH/s at slightly lower power. The wattmeter at the wall shows 612–615W at 40 TH/s, 15W less than the default settings

One of the biggest downsides of home mining: flowers wilt a day after you buy them.

In my case, the unit averages 40.5 TH/s at 630W. And yes, it's dead silent, in large part thanks to the quality PSUs. Nexus S1-8

The beast with eight BM1373 chips has finally arrived

The most wanted ASIC of 2026 is already flying to me from Dubai. I'll most likely get it today. I was expecting it yesterday, but our package got split up in the UAE 8xBM1373
