BTCB2-related mining activity continues to generate observable results. At ForMiners, we can show a completed-rental summary instead of relying only on a profitability calculator. The distinction matters: renting computing power for BTC, mining the separate BLAKE2b chain for XBT and quoting a miner's estimated dollar revenue are three different things. This update, dated 18 October 2026, explains the evidence and presents the HS5T configuration currently offered by our team.

What $1,175.65 over 396 hours means

The supplied rental dashboard for a rig advertised at 12 TH/s shows $1,175.65 in net platform earnings, 396 rented hours and eight completed rentals. It records $1,245.77 in settled credits and $70.12 in refunds, which reconcile exactly to the displayed total. The reporting chart covers 17 September–16 October. These are rental-account records, not the proceeds of selling XBT from a pool.

Dividing $1,175.65 by 396 gives about $2.97 per rented hour, or $71.25 per 24 rented hours. That is not a calendar-day average or an HS5T result. The dashboard explicitly excludes electricity and other operating expenses. Its delivered-work indicator is 96.1%, so the 100% uptime headline alone does not describe the financial outcome.

Our 144-hour rental case

Our 6 October Telegram case described a 12 TH/s order running for 144 hours, from 6 to 12 October, at 0.00007777 BTC per TH/s per day. The arithmetic is 12 × 6 × 0.00007777 = 0.00559944 BTC before fees. After a 3% platform fee, that becomes 0.00543146 BTC, matching the supplied order screenshot.

At the time of that screenshot, average delivered hashrate was 10.95 TH/s, or 91.27% of the advertised rate. The post described an order still in progress; its credit figure should not be presented as a newly verified final settlement. The broader 396-hour report is a separate reporting view. We do not add the two figures together.

What the AlphaPool address shows

The public AlphaPool address was online during our 18 October check. The snapshot showed about 12.67 TH/s over ten minutes, 13.06 TH/s over one hour and 5.81 TH/s over 24 hours. Its displayed 14-day on-chain payouts totalled 0.22353703 XBT; the lifetime tile showed approximately 0.471 across 263 blocks. The pool warns that older days can be understated.

Here XBT denotes the community BLAKE2b chain, not ordinary BTC. On-chain credit is also not the same as immediately spendable proceeds: the pool states a 6,480-confirmation maturity, roughly 45 days. This address showed a maintenance-endpoint warning with a 25% fee, while the general service notice listed 2.5%. Endpoint configuration therefore needs checking before projecting revenue. We do not convert this snapshot using the BTC price.

HS5T: 5.3 TH/s at 1,500 W

Our current offer is HS5T, 5.3 TH/s, with stated power consumption of 1,500 W, at $2,700 or €2,450. These are two quoted commercial prices, not an exchange-rate calculation. Most of the other units from the earlier offer are nearly sold out; request a fresh stock confirmation rather than assuming the older CAEU04, CAEU14 or ARI31 terms remain available.

HS5T is the designation in this ForMiners offer. Confirm the exact supplied model, controller, firmware, operating mode and measured wall power in the written quotation. We do not present the 12 TH/s rig as this single machine or invent a manufacturer test for it. Delivery, tax treatment, condition and warranty for this offer must be confirmed before payment.

Electricity and the $40.42 daily estimate

The approximately $40.42 per day figure is the revenue estimate supplied with this offer, dated 18 October. It is not independently established by the rental screenshot or the AlphaPool address, and its fee assumptions must be confirmed. At 1.5 kW and 24 operating hours, the miner uses 36 kWh per day, or 1,080 kWh over 30 days.

For an illustrative electricity tariff of $0.10/kWh, daily electricity would cost $3.60. Subtracting that alone from $40.42 leaves $36.82 before any further fees, hosting, repairs, downtime and taxes. This is a scenario, not a promised profit or payback period. Do not subtract a euro electricity bill directly from dollar revenue without a stated exchange rate.

A new Kaspa? An opportunity, not a prediction

The comparison with early Kaspa captures the excitement around hardware finding a new source of demand. It does not establish that BTCB2 will repeat Kaspa's price path or mining economics. Rental demand can disappear, network difficulty can rise and a quoted coin price may not be executable for the amount you want to sell.

Three practical conclusions follow from these records: evaluate paid rental hours separately from uptime; measure delivered hashrate instead of trusting only the nameplate; and distinguish credited coins from cash available to cover expenses. The rental dashboard demonstrates historical customer demand. It cannot tell us how long today's rates will last.

Estonia hosting and ordering

For this direction we deployed an additional hosting location in Estonia, as described in the supplied 6 October case. The accompanying site photograph shows rack, electrical outlets and ventilation preparation; it is not a photograph proving every rack is currently populated. Ask us to confirm a slot and the operating terms for your equipment.

To request HS5T, send the quantity, destination and whether you need hosting. We will confirm the current batch and prepare a written quotation for equipment and, where requested, placement. Ask for a current test, measured consumption, payout route and full fee breakdown. The €2,450 / $2,700 offer is the starting point for that conversation; revenue and available stock remain variable.

Request a current HS5T quotation

The rental records give BTCB2-related hardware a concrete operating story, while HS5T provides a lower-power option in our current offer. Contact ForMiners to check availability and calculate your own operating costs. We can discuss equipment and Estonia hosting together, with current conditions recorded before you commit.
