FAQs
What is a StealthMiner?
The StealthMiner is a Bitcoin (SHA256 algorithm) miner that utilizes recycled components to cut down on industry e-waste and breathe much more life into perfectly functional hardware being cast aside for the latest and greatest.
The cooling configuration allows for better placement in a room or on a desk without needing to accommodate pointing intake and exhaust and operates under 60 decibels.
The pivotalplebtech.com Loki Kit paired with an APW3++ power supply is what makes this possible.
Where can I plug in my StealthMiner?
The SteathMiner brings S19 generation Bitcoin mining efficiencies to the North American living room. Yes, I said living room. The StealthMiner operates <60dB making it no louder than regular conversational tones; and it does this on 120V.
Due to the static voltage of the APW3++ and ensuring the miner can operate with normal household circuit loads already present; the SteathMiner operates at lower clock frequencies.
This ensures the following as well; and would seem incentives are nicely aligned:
- Safety
- Longevity of hardware
- Operational efficiency
- Sound attenuation (<60 dB)
How many satoshi can I mine a day with StealthMiner?
This will depend on the model chosen.

What is the ROI of the StealthMiner?
This is a highly variable question and will depend on many factors to include your cost of electricity.
But consider this… It costs ~5-6x the Bitaxe with ~38-40x the hasrate. So it is a graduation to getting regular mining payouts with a pool vs solo mining.
Is your Solar company not rolling over credits or simply not paying for your production? Take power into your own hands and sell your production directly to the Bitcoin network with a controllable 650-750W load.
Mining goes deeper than a simple “ROI”.
Does the StealthMiner function as a space heater as well?
It will only provide 600-750W of resistant heat, so if that is enough, then yes.
The wattage limitation is due to the fans chosen for low noise as well as the static 12.2V an unmodified APW3++ provides. The chips start showing error at ~525MHz operation as they need more voltage at and above that hash frequency.
It is intentionally underpowered for longevity of recycled hardware and safety of operation on any residential circuit vs designed to create heat.
How is the StealthMiner enclosure constructed?
These 1st generation models are printed in a Carbon fiber infused PETG. The PETG-CF material not only makes for a strong enclosure, it makes for a very aesthetic print.
It has 3 major sections held together in bolted assembly intended to handle travel.
How do I locate the IP address to manage my StealthMiner?
This is also a variable answer as there are many 3rd party softwares available to scan your network after powering on the miner (plugging it in) to find the IP address.
Luckily the firmware developers have all made tools to help. The StealthMiner is powered by a white label VNISH and there is a toolkit that makes it very easy to find your StealthMiner and control it.

Can I use any S19 board in the StealthMiner?
Not the 88 chip series as they are too long. It should accommodate every other S19 board.
Why only a 14 day warranty on the StealthMiner?
I am a single person who works full time that has launched this product due to online demand and interest. I am not equipped for long term support and the warranty is an extended DOA policy for you. If you are having problems after 14 days, I can extend my assistance in the form of knowledge to help you troubleshoot, but cannot warranty the parts.
If I choose to DIY the StealthMiner, can you help me put it together?
I will be working on a guide and happy to answer questions in the meantime.
Is there a fire risk from StealthMiner? Does the device have UL, ETL, CE or CSA certification?
The power supply being used is unaltered from stock configuration so maintains its UL rating.
The StealthMiner as a mostly DIY project right now does not have any ratings. However it is underclocked to minimize the potential risks.
