IceRiver AE3 Aleo Miner - 2 GH/s zkSNARK Prover, 3400 W

Description

The IceRiver AE3 is a dedicated zkSNARK prover for Aleo — 2 GH/s at 3,400 W. This is not a Bitcoin miner and it will not mine Bitcoin: it is purpose-built silicon for Aleo proof generation, and its value lives and dies with that one network. Go in knowing that.

Our honest read on single-coin ASICs

A 3.4 kW box that can only do one job carries concentration risk a SHA-256 miner does not. An S19 or S21 mines the same asset it did on day one and always has a resale market. An Aleo prover is worth what Aleo is worth. That can go extremely well — early single-coin ASICs often do — but size the position accordingly and do not put your whole budget in one algorithm. Related single-purpose hardware lives in Kaspa, Aleo, Dash and CKB miners.

Power and siting

3,400 W on a dedicated 200–250 V circuit, through a 20 A C19 inlet. This is not a 100–240 V machine, whatever the spec sheet that has been copied around the internet says — IceRiver rates the AE3 at 220–240 V nominal, and there is no configuration in which it runs from a North American 120 V outlet. Even if it accepted 120 V, 3.4 kW there is about 28 A, more than a standard household circuit carries. Have the circuit in before the pallet arrives. At 75 dB it needs the same siting as any industrial ASIC.

Condition and warranty

Condition and warranty coverage on this unit are not stated in the listing, so we are not going to state them here. Message us and we will confirm the grade, the batch and the coverage in writing before you pay.

Buying from ING Mining

We buy, repair, host and resell this hardware ourselves, so ask us the awkward questions before you order — power draw at the wall, board revision, what the fans sound like in a garage. Browse the rest of the catalogue at all miners.

Questions buyers ask about this machine

What voltage does it need?

200–250 V, with 220–240 V the nominal rating, on a 20 A C19 outlet. It will not run from a North American 120 V household outlet, and no adapter changes that. Budget for an electrician to put in a dedicated 240 V circuit before it arrives.

What will it cost to run?

That depends on your electricity rate, so here is the part we can state exactly: at 3,400 W running 24/7, this machine burns about 2,448 kWh a month. Multiply that by your own all-in rate per kWh — including delivery charges, not just the supply rate — to get your monthly power bill. We do not publish profitability figures, because they change with difficulty and price every day.

How loud is it?

75 dB — about as loud as a household vacuum cleaner running continuously, and it does not stop. This is a garage, workshop, outbuilding or hosted-facility machine, not something to put in a room where people live or sleep.

What can I mine with it?

The algorithm is zkSNARK (Aleo), and ASIC silicon is single-purpose: it will mine coins on that algorithm and nothing else, whatever the price of anything else does.

Shipping cost for this exact item, and how warranty and returns work here, are answered in the Shipping & buying tab on this page. Anything else, ask a person on +1 (781) 577-0377 or ns@ingmining.com — we would rather talk before you buy.

What it costs to run

The revenue side of an Aleo prover has nothing in common with a Bitcoin miner, but the cost side is identical. 3,400 W is 2,482 kWh a month at 730 running hours — $174 at 7¢/kWh hosting, $458 at the 18.44¢/kWh US residential average. Those are the numbers that decide whether a single-coin box works for you, and they do not care what it mines. The ASIC miner buying guide sets out the whole arithmetic: power, the two hosting fee structures, freight and duty, and the questions to get answered in writing before you sign with a facility.

Where this listing sits

This listing is filed under no condition category, deliberately. That happens when we do not know the condition well enough to put it on a shelf, and we would rather say so than guess. Ask us before you order and we will tell you exactly what we have.

What our grades mean

These are the only words we use, and each one means a specific thing. They are not interchangeable and we do not soften them to move stock.

New	Unused stock. Factory sealed unless the listing says otherwise — “new, open box” means exactly that, and the listing will say it.
Tested working	Second-hand, and it ran on our bench at the hashrate the listing states. We measured it; we are not repeating what the last owner told us. Expect cosmetic wear.
Refurbished	Tested working, plus work done: cleaned, thermal paste and fans dealt with, failed components replaced. The listing says what was actually done to that unit rather than using the word as decoration.
As-is / for parts	Sold with no working claim at all, at a price that reflects it. Buy these to repair or to harvest. If a listing says as-is, assume it does not hash until you have proved otherwise.
Untested	We have it, we have not powered it, and we are not going to pretend we did. Rarer than as-is and always stated explicitly.

What a grade here does not mean

Cosmetic wear is not a fault. Dust, scratches, scuffed labels and discoloured plastics are normal on hardware that has been earning. We photograph what we have; if the pictures matter to you, ask for more and we will take them.
A grade is not a warranty. Warranty terms are stated per listing, never per store — see the Shipping & buying tab. A tested-working grade describes what the machine did on our bench, not what we owe you in six months.
A boosted hashrate is not a spec. Where a unit ships on tuned firmware we say so and we give the factory figures too, because overclocking raises power faster than it raises hashrate — a tuned machine is less efficient per terahash than stock, not more.
We will not invent a grade to fill a field. If a unit came in without history and has not been through the bench, its listing says that.

How the grade gets decided

A used-hardware seller who will not tell you how they test is asking you to take the grade on trust. Ours is published: the six-step bench procedure every machine goes through, and the five measurements that get recorded — per-board hashrate, chip count, measured wall power rather than the nameplate figure, hardware error rate, and temperature under sustained load. When it reaches you, run the 48-hour acceptance test straight away, while the freight claim window is still open.

Buying second-hand for the first time? How to buy a used ASIC miner without getting burned is the long version, written from the repair bench rather than from a spec sheet.

Shipping

Shipping this item inside the United States costs $49.99 by UPS Ground — that is the rate the checkout will charge, read from the store’s own shipping settings, not an estimate. Orders ship within 7 business days.

Outside the United States the checkout quotes a flat international rate. On multi-unit or pallet orders, contact us before ordering so freight to your destination can be confirmed properly. What to check when the pallet arrives, and how a freight claim works, is covered in the mining hardware shipping guide.

What to do the day it arrives

Photograph the pallet or the box before you open it, and keep the packaging until you are satisfied. Freight claim windows are short, and damage found on day two is a conversation while damage found on day thirty is an argument.

Then run the 48-hour acceptance test straight away, while that window is still open. It is the same ground our own bench covers, so you can compare like for like: how the grade on this listing was arrived at, and the five measurements we record, are set out in the Condition & grading tab on this page.

Condition, warranty and returns

Condition: Condition not stated on this listing, so none is claimed — ask and we will confirm in writing.

Warranty is stated per listing, not across the catalogue. Some units carry a manufacturer term and say so above, naming the term and the date it runs from. Many units, particularly used and AS-IS stock, carry none, and those listings do not claim one. There is no blanket warranty covering a catalogue that runs from sealed factory stock to a hashboard sold for parts. For what a mining warranty normally covers, see ASIC miner warranty explained.

Returns: ask for the terms on this unit before you pay. No single returns window is published for the whole store, because the sensible terms on a tested working machine and on a board sold AS-IS for parts are not the same terms. Email or call and ask what applies to this exact item — it is a two-minute conversation and a great deal cheaper than a dispute.

Where you are going to run it

Two questions decide whether a machine like this works where you live, and neither of them is about the miner: can the circuit carry it, and what does your electricity cost? Most full-size machines here want a dedicated 240 V circuit and run at 70–75 dB continuously. A few do not — the Avalon Q publishes 45–65 dB and runs on 110–240 V — so read the voltage and noise figures on this listing rather than assuming. ASIC miner power requirements covers breaker sizing and what the install actually involves; cooling covers where the heat and the noise end up.

If your power is not genuinely cheap, hosting is the question to be asking instead of which miner to buy. Break-even electricity rate is hashprice divided by (24 × J/TH), and hashrate cancels out of it entirely — which is why a cheap old machine on expensive power loses money faster than an expensive new one does. The buying guide has the arithmetic; work out your own number before you buy anything.

If hosting is the answer, get written answers on three things before you sign: who pays for repairs, what the uptime commitment actually pays out when it is missed, and how curtailment is handled. A flat per-machine monthly rate is where most of the unpleasant surprises live. Types of mining farm compares the models and hosting versus cloud mining covers why owning the hardware is the better end of that trade. Ask us before you commit — it is a five-minute call and a great deal cheaper than a contract you cannot get out of.

What we do once it is racked, wherever that is. Deployment, firmware and monitoring are a service we run rather than a line on a page: pool and network setup, Braiins OS or VNish tuning, offline alerts, and board-level fault-finding when a machine stops hashing — ASIC mining consulting sets out what that covers. The hosting agreement itself is between you and the facility. What we can give you is the number most hosting disputes turn on: what this machine measured at the wall on our bench, so a shortfall on site is a figure to compare against rather than an argument about what it should have been doing.
