Jasminer X44‑P Review
The Jasminer X44‑P is a high‑throughput Etchash/Ethash ASIC aimed at Ethereum Classic (ETC) and compatible forks. Typical listings show ~23.4 GH/s at ~2.34–2.55 kW, Ethernet management, and a server‑style chassis. Think of it as an industrial‑class ETC box: massive hashrate and strong efficiency (~0.10–0.11 J/MH), but also real heat and noise compared with quiet “Q” series units.
Pros:
- Top‑tier ETC throughput: ~23.4 GH/s class at ~2.3–2.6 kW → ~0.10–0.11 J/MH.
- 1U/3U‑style design with Ethernet and familiar web UI.
- ETChash/Ethash support with common pools and ETC+ZIL on compatible pools.
Cons:
- Noise: listings vary ~70–80 dB (server‑fan tone). Some claim lower, but plan for loud operation.
- Heat: ~2.55 kW ≈ ~8,700 BTU/h; needs real ventilation/ducting.
- Power: 200–240 V AC recommended; consider a dedicated circuit.
If you need quiet home mining, look at Jasminer X16‑Q. For a low‑power starter, see iPollo V1 Mini Classic.
Key Takeaways
- Throughput & power: ~23.4 GH/s @ ~2.34–2.55 kW → ~0.10–0.11 J/MH (lower is better).
- Noise: expect server‑class tone (~70–80 dB); place in a garage/utility space. Learn about decibel.
- Best for: dedicated rooms with 240 V power and ventilation; not for living rooms.
- Algorithm: Etchash / Ethash.
- Compare: For “quiet mode” ETC, pick X16‑Q.
Technical Specifications
| Item | Spec |
|---|---|
| Algorithm | Etchash / Ethash (ETC‑first; ETC+ZIL on some pools) |
| Hashrate (typical) | ~23.4 GH/s (±10%) |
| Power (typical) | ~2,340–2,550 W @ wall (batch/firmware variance) |
| Efficiency (math) | ~0.10–0.11 J/MH |
| Noise (range) | ~70–80 dB (server‑fan tone; treat as loud) |
| Networking | Ethernet (RJ45 10/100/1000M); web interface |
| Voltage | 200–240 V AC (check circuit capacity) |
| Memory | 8–12 GB depending on batch; confirm with seller |
| Dimensions / Weight | ~212 × 300 × 374 mm, ~14–16 kg |
Plain‑English examples: 23.4 GH/s = 23,400 MH/s. 2.55 kW draws 61.2 kWh/day. 70–80 dB sounds like a loud vacuum or server rack.
Performance, Noise & Heat
After warm‑up, the X44‑P stabilizes near ~23.4 GH/s with ~2.3–2.6 kW at the wall (PSU quality, ambient and firmware can swing a few hundred watts). Expect a high‑RPM fan tone. If used indoors, place it in a separate, ventilated room (garage/utility) and avoid enclosing it without engineered airflow.
Heat output (rule‑of‑thumb)
1 W ≈ 3.412 BTU/h → 2,550 W ≈ ~8,700 BTU/h.
Electricity cost examples (24 h, continuous @ 2.55 kW)
- €0.10/kWh → ~€6.12/day (~€183.6/month)
- €0.20/kWh → ~€12.24/day (~€367.2/month)
- €0.30/kWh → ~€18.36/day (~€550.8/month)
Formula: kWh = (Watts ÷ 1000) × hours — see kilowatt‑hour.
Setup & Pooling (quick start)
- Power: Use 200–240 V AC on a dedicated circuit sized for continuous load. If unsure, consult an electrician.
- Network: Connect Ethernet (RJ45) to router/switch. Keep the path stable to minimize stale shares.
- Placement: Short, straight exhaust path; don’t use soft enclosures that trap heat. Keep intakes clear.
- Pool example (ETC):
stratum+tcp://etc.2miners.com:1010orstratum+tcp://etcf.flexpool.io:8008
Username: your ETC address (0x...) or pool account
Password:x(as required). Reputable options: 2Miners, Flexpool, Hiveon. - Verify & monitor: After 5–10 minutes, hashrate stabilizes. Watch Rejected/Stale shares, temps, and fan RPM.
- (Optional) ETC + ZIL: Many pools support ZIL cycles; follow each pool’s guide.
Tip: If stales rise, use the closest pool server, move the miner closer to the router/switch, and avoid congested Wi‑Fi bridges.
Who Should Buy the X44‑P?
- Small mining rooms/garages with 240 V and proper ventilation.
- Operators upgrading from X16‑class who want big GH/s in a single unit.
- Buyers comfortable with server‑class noise and higher power budgets.
If you need quiet home mining, pick X16‑Q. For low‑power entry‑level ETC, see iPollo V1 Mini Classic.

Verdict
The Jasminer X44‑P is about maximum ETC throughput in a single box. Expect server‑class noise and real heat, but also leading‑class efficiency for Etchash. If you have the power and ventilation, it’s a potent miner. For quiet living spaces, the X16‑Q remains the better fit.
FAQ's
Is X44‑P profitable at home rates?
Profitability depends on ETC price and your €/kWh. Budget about 61.2 kWh/day at 2.55 kW before pool fees.
How loud is it?
Treat it as 70–80 dB server‑fan tone. Claims of ~40 dB exist, but plan for loud operation.
Does it include a PSU?
Varies by seller. Confirm PSU, warranty, and return policy in the listing.
Does it need 240 V?
Yes, 200–240 V AC is recommended. Use a dedicated circuit sized for continuous load.
Can it mine ETH?
Ethereum (ETH) moved to PoS. You mine ETC and Ethash‑family forks; many pools offer ETC+ZIL cycles.
