In this video, we dig into the story behind each miner, their hashrate and efficiency, real watts\u2011at\u2011the\u2011wall measurements, and just how rare these units have become in 2026. I also break down the actual odds of hitting a solo Bitcoin block with hardware this old, and what that means for home miners chasing the dream today. Finally, we crack these miners open to reveal how ASICs were engineered, cooled, and assembled over a decade ago \u2014 and how that compares to the monsters we run in 2026.
