Is The Comino N1 Miner The Apple Of Miners? (Review)

THELOGICALINDIAN - I accept been account a lot about Cominos GPU miner and assuredly got the adventitious to analysis it As anon as I abstruse that it was the declared ultimate home mining band-aid I absitively to leave the white gloves in the appointment and accompany her home

At first, I was a little bit afraid of the admeasurement of the device, but because that the 8 GPUs are aqueous cooled and 2 PSUs are air cooled, it’s barefaced why the accessory would be so big. That said, it’s still 4-5 times abate than a commensurable air-cooled rig.

When I was unboxing the device, I was so aflame that I absolutely forgot to booty any pictures — my bad. When it came out of the box, however, I was absolutely surprised. It absolutely is a allotment of engineering. The accomplished abode is fabricated of aluminum and it seems laser cut.

After the disassembly, I accomplished that the weight is advancing from the baptize cooling.

The architecture is about absolute — who said that miners should be ugly? However, I wouldn’t say my wife would accede this the nicest adornment of the active allowance but, compared to any added solutions, it looks absolutely nice and quiet.

But let’s get bottomward to business and see the specs!

Let’s aboriginal alpha with the affection — the miner is powered by 8 Nvidia P106 6GB Gigabyte GPU. These cards these are basically the 1060Ti series, but fabricated accurately for mining — no HDMI outputs or added abortive nasties. These cards were congenital for mining (yes, there is a difference) and appear with a one year warranty.

Below are the specs:

As anon as I accustomed the Comino miner, I was abiding that I would detach it.

The central of the apparatus is incredible. All the genitalia are advised and bogus for this miner, specifically, and aggregate is in aloof the appropriate place. There are no apart cables or blatant fans. Aggregate is aloof area it needs to be and is served by baptize cooling, authoritative for bashful mining.

The accession action is absolutely straightforward. You ability it on, columnist the appropriate button, and let it cossack up. After the acknowledged booting procedure, affix to the Comino_xxxx called wifi and use your countersign accustomed in the manual. Affix and setup.

If you don’t accept the appropriate password, aloof columnist the “Mode” (left side) button 3 times, again accept advantage 2 to displace the password. After that, the wifi name and countersign will be displayed on the screen.

After you are connected, there will be a pop-up awning allurement for login accreditation — aloof shoot in admin/admin and it will be fine. In that screen, you can set up you wifi. It’s appealing easy. Aloof accept your arrangement and ascribe countersign again save it. You can set up your GPU settings actuality as well.

Under the wifi settings, you can add your Ethereum abode and save it. Reboot the accessory and you are accessible to go!

You can admission the accessory accidentally via my.comino.com and accomplish some added avant-garde setups — by default, the accessory is currently acknowledging Ethereum and Zcash. However, according to the company’s statements, it will be able to abundance added altcoins soon.

There is no advantage to change the basin or the coin, which ability assume aberrant for some accomplished miners it is aberrant — but this affair is aloof alive out of the box.

Of course, you can ability your miner on the bounded arrangement by accounting the IP abode of the accessory — which is appealing accessible back it is displayed on the advanced screen.

The bureaucracy is easy, but it would be nice to accept a chiral added to my.comino.com which includes the consecutive cardinal and abstruse key. However, if the miners end up on the buzz market, users may still acquaintance Comino via email and appeal the alteration of a accessory to addition account. This adjustment absolutely helps anticipate theft.

This is a absolutely nice accessory and, compared to any added mining solution, it is absolutely accessible to bureaucracy and absolutely silent. I am not abiding that it would be a acceptable abstraction to put it in your bedroom, however, but it absolutely lets you beddy-bye if there is a bank in between.

The architecture is absolutely nice but uses a lot of aluminum and baptize cooling — authoritative it absolutely heavy. As far as I can see, the miner is fabricated from affection abstracts and parts. Comino advised the raisers application alone gold-plated sockets, cables, ambassador lath operating cooling system, and chassis. Meanwhile, the Noctua iPPS admirers and HWlabs radiator are some of the actual best begin on the market, so they won’t let you down. (If you anytime approved architecture a rig, you already apperceive the Chinese risers, adapters, and genitalia will accomplish your rig a nightmare.)

I anticipate that this is not a data-center big business solution. (Comino has an action band-aid for that.) If you appetite to alpha home mining with an accessible agreement and appetite to accept a accurately advised miner in your home or office, actuality you go.

For the aboriginal 10 hours of mining, my boilerplate amount was 199.87 mH/s with the absence agreement — so we can say the accessory is alive as promised!
