Top Picks (2025)

Goldshell Mini-DOGE II — Best apartment Scrypt (LTC + DOGE)
420 MH/s @ 400 W or 335 MH/s @ 260 W, up to ~35 dB. Two power modes for noise/efficiency trade-offs.
Antminer L7/L9 at Home — Industrial power (home caveat)
9.3–16 GH/s at ~3.0–3.6 kW, about 70–75 dB. Needs 240 V, ventilation, and a garage/utility room.

What to Expect

Noise: Mini-class Scrypt boxes can be apartment-friendly; big rigs are server-loud. If you can chat normally in the same room, it’s fine; if you must raise your voice, plan isolation.
Power & daily cost: 260 W → ~6.24 kWh/day, 400 W → ~9.6 kWh/day. At €0.20/kWh, that’s roughly €1.25/day or €1.92/day.
Heat: Every watt becomes heat. 260 W ≈ ~887 BTU/h, 400 W ≈ ~1,365 BTU/h—pleasant warmth with airflow.
Merged mining: With Scrypt, you typically earn LTC + DOGE together on the same pool connection.

Buying Guide

Pick for the room first: Apartments → Mini-DOGE II (two modes help). Large homes/garages with 240 V and ventilation → consider L7/L9.
Check the bundle: Some listings include a PSU; others don’t. Confirm voltage (100–240 V for minis; 200–240 V for large rigs) and plug type.
Network choice: Ethernet is best; if cabling is hard, use a Wi-Fi→Ethernet bridge near the miner. See our networking guide.
Price reality: Scrypt miner prices swing with markets and stock. Use the review pages for current price ranges; avoid buying at spikes.
Heat & placement: Leave a short, straight path for exhaust air. Avoid cabinets and foam boxes that trap heat and raise fan noise.

Setup Guide

Place & power: Hard surface, clear rear exhaust, plug into a grounded outlet (240 V for large rigs).
Network: Connect Ethernet to your router/switch.
Find the web page: Open your router’s device list, visit the miner’s IP, set an admin password.
Pool details: Paste the Scrypt stratum URL, enter your LTC address (many pools auto-credit DOGE via merged mining), add a worker name.
Verify: Warm up 5–10 minutes. Keep stale shares under ~2–3% and monitor temperature/fans.
