Today we're testing the *Bit Fortune BS4 Bitcoin solo miner*, featuring ...four BM1373 ASIC chips from the latest Bitmain S23-generation lineup, approximately *18 TH/s of advertised hash rate*, and a custom liquid-cooled design.

Thanks to Helium Deploy for sending the BS4 over for review! We're also giving one away, so watch the video for the entry instructions.

The biggest upgrade is the *Harlo Labs firmware*, which allows the BS4 to split its hash rate across four different solo mining pools simultaneously. I walk through the firmware installation, pool configuration, accepted shares, reported hash rates, latency, overclocking options, cooling controls, scheduling, Discord alerts, and more.

I also test the miner's power consumption at the wall, examine the temperatures, discuss the $599 price, and explain why solo mining Bitcoin is a long-shot at just 18 TH/s. We also look at Bitcoin Cash as an alternative for miners interested in trying their luck at finding a block.

XBT mining has been an absolute roller coaster! In this video, I'm breaking down my real-world experience mining XBT with Blake2B ASIC miners, including my latest earnings from Mining Rig Rentals and the risks surrounding the controversial 45-day Coinbase maturity period.

Over the past six days, my seven Blake2B miners have generated approximately $5,200 in Bitcoin rental revenue. I'll show you how the rentals have been performing, why some days show much higher earnings than others, and why getting paid in Bitcoin through Mining Rig Rentals is different from solo mining XBT.

I also take a look at the approximately 31 XBT I've mined solo, currently inaccessible due to coinbase maturity rules, and discuss the potential implications of a proposed one-year lockup.

*In this video:*
- My seven Blake2B ASIC miners and combined hashrate
- Mining Rig Rentals earnings from October 7–12, 2026
- How rental duration affects daily payouts
- Approximately $16,000 worth of solo-mined XBT at the value discussed in the video
- The 45-day Coinbase maturity controversy and potential longer lockup
- XBT network hashrate and the growing demand for Blake2B miners
- Why you should be careful before buying miners or chasing current rental prices
- My mining ROI and what could happen if rental demand drops

*Important:* These earnings are from a specific period and are not guaranteed to continue. Rental rates, network difficulty, coin prices, electricity costs, hardware expenses, and platform demand can change quickly. Coinbase maturity and potential lockup changes also create additional uncertainty. Do your own research and never invest more than you can afford to lose.

GPU mining profitability is making a comeback! With Pearl and Quantus gaining momentum, some of my GPU rigs are generating hundreds of dollars a day in mining revenue. But with GPU prices rising and potential algorithm changes on the horizon, is it actually a good time to get into GPU mining?

In this video, we're looking at the current state of GPU mining, why hashrates haven't increased as dramatically as expected, and whether the recent profitability surge can last.

I'll also discuss the risks of buying new GPUs, the potential for Pearl to change its algorithm for FP8 and Blackwell compatibility, and why decentralizing hashrate across mining pools matters.

Topics covered:
- Current GPU mining profitability
- Pearl and Quantus price and hashrate trends
- Should you buy GPUs for mining right now?
- GPU rig costs, memory prices, and infrastructure
- The potential impact of Pearl algorithm changes
- RTX 30-series, 40-series, and newer GPU considerations
- Why I'm cautious about expanding my GPU mining operation
- Mining pool decentralization and USDC payouts
- My experience mining Pearl and Quantus on Pulley.ca

GPU mining can be profitable during market upswings, but these conditions may not last. Hardware costs, electricity rates, coin prices, network difficulty, and algorithm changes all affect your returns. Do your own research and never invest more than you can afford to lose.

GPU mining is BACK?!

After a long stretch of terrible GPU mining profitability, things have suddenly changed. Pearl and Quantis have been extremely profitable over the past few weeks, with even older GPUs becoming profitable again.

At the time of recording, a 4090 is making almost $10/day and even 3070s are around $2/day. My own GPU setup is currently generating around $328/day, or roughly $10,000/month — although these numbers can change very quickly with coin prices and network hashrate.

In this video, I go through what happened with Pearl mining, the massive increase in GPU hashrate, Quantis profitability, my own GPU mining rigs, and whether I think GPU mining is actually BACK for good.

The big question is: how long can this last?

I personally would NOT recommend that most people rush out and buy GPUs just because profitability is currently high. GPU hardware, RAM, storage, motherboards and other components are expensive, and profitability can change extremely quickly.

If you already have GPUs sitting around, however, this could be a very interesting time to turn them back on.

Thanks for watching!

Crypto mining is profitable again… and honestly, I didn't expect this comeback to happen this quickly.

Bitcoin has pushed back toward $85,000, ASIC mining profitability has improved, and GPU mining has suddenly come alive again thanks to coins like Pearl and Quantus.

In this video, I'm taking a big-picture look at what has happened across crypto mining over the past month, including Bitcoin mining, ASIC profitability, XBT Blake2b mining, GPU mining, Pearl, Quantus, and the new CMP 170HX unlocker developments.

A lot of miners left the industry during the brutal downtrend. Hardware was being sold off, mining farms were shutting down or transitioning infrastructure toward AI, and many miners were no longer profitable.

Now things have completely changed.

I've held onto a large amount of my mining hardware through the downturn, and we're finally seeing a major improvement in profitability.

I'll go through what I'm seeing with my ASIC miners, GPU miners, XBT Blake2b mining, and some of the newer opportunities developing in the space.

I'll also talk about the risks. Just because mining is profitable today doesn't mean it will stay profitable forever. More profitability can bring more miners online, which increases network difficulty and can eventually reduce profitability again.

If you're mining right now, let me know what you're mining and what your electrical rate is down in the comments.

Are you holding your hardware, selling your coins, or selling your miners?

NEW 170HX v0.5 Unlocker! Higher PEARL GPU Hashrate!?

⚡ CMP 170hx Unlocker V0.5 https://github.com/amoghmunikote/cmpunlocker

The CMP 170HX just got another MASSIVE update!

CMP Unlocker v0.5 ...is here, and this new version adds ECC DRAM/SRAM support plus 4 additional SMs (compute units). I put it to the test on both 8GB and 10GB CMP 170HX GPUs to see what actually changed.

The biggest surprise came from mining performance.

With the new v0.5 unlocker and the latest JetSki Miner kernel, the CMP 170HX can utilize up to 80 SMs, compared to the 74 SMs I was seeing with SRB Miner. That helped push the card past 170 TH/s in my testing.

I also tested PCIe bandwidth, the 10GB CMP 170HX, the capacitor-modified 8GB card, ECC/memory stability, PyTorch, and the possibility of getting Gen 3 PCIe on the 10GB cards.

Here's what I found:

• CMP 170HX Unlocker v0.5
• 80 SMs with JetSki Miner
• 170+ TH/s Pearl mining performance
• 10GB CMP 170HX testing
• 40GB vs 80GB VRAM testing
• PCIe Gen 2 x4 vs Gen 2 x16
• Capacitor-modified CMP 170HX
• PCIe bandwidth testing
• ECC testing
• PyTorch / AI performance testing
• Gen 3 PCIe fuse-burn testing
• NVIDIA 615.71.09 driver
• CUDA 13.4
• JetSki Miner testing

The 10GB card is still limited to Gen 2 x4 in my testing, while the capacitor-modded 8GB CMP 170HX is getting Gen 2 x16.

I also tried pushing the 10GB card toward Gen 3 PCIe, but the fuse-burn attempt did not work in this configuration. I'll be testing this further in another video.

For mining, the biggest improvement so far is the additional compute units. SRB Miner was showing 74 SMs, while JetSki Miner was able to utilize 80 SMs with the v0.5 unlocker.

There is still a LOT more to test with these cards, especially for AI workloads, LLM performance, token generation, memory bandwidth and ECC.

I have over 100 CMP 170HX GPUs, so expect plenty more testing as these new unlocks continue to develop.

Not financial advice. Mine and invest within your means.

Let me know what benchmarks you want me to run next!

I finally got all 8 of my capacitor-modded CMP 170HX GPUs back, and today we're putting all eight of them into one server to see if the PCIe Gen 2 x16 modification really works!

These CMP 170HX 8GB cards have been modified with the capacitor mod to unlock PCIe Gen 2 x16 instead of the normal Gen 2 x4 configuration. That means we're potentially getting roughly 4X the PCIe bandwidth.

In this video, I build out the server with:

• 8x capacitor-modded CMP 170HX GPUs
• PCIe Gen 2 x16 on all 8 GPUs
• Dual Intel Xeon Gold 6152 CPUs
• 384GB DDR4 ECC memory
• 4TB NVMe SSD
• CMP 170HX 64GB unlocker
• Ubuntu
• NVIDIA drivers
• NVBandwidth testing
• Memory testing
• GPU burn testing

The results are pretty interesting.

The CMP 170HX cards were able to reach around 6.8 GB/s host-to-GPU bandwidth, compared with roughly 1.4 GB/s on the stock Gen 2 x4 configuration.

I also tested all eight GPUs individually with memory tests and GPU burn. All eight cards passed, with each GPU reaching around 252.9 TFLOPS during the burn test.

Now the big question is whether the additional PCIe bandwidth actually makes a significant difference in real-world AI workloads and LLM inference.

I also want to eventually test this entire 8x CMP 170HX server on Vast.ai and see how well these 64GB GPUs perform when rented for AI workloads.

And there's potentially even more coming. A newer fuse-burn method may be capable of unlocking Gen 3 x16, so if that becomes sufficiently tested and safe, I'll experiment with it in the future.

Comment below: Do you think the CMP 170HX PCIe x16 modification is worth doing?

I'll also be choosing a winner for some Brains hash rate from the comments!
