Goldshell Launches the First ASIC Miner for Tari (XTM): What South African Miners Should Know
• South Africa

Goldshell has announced the first dedicated Tari (XTM) ASIC miner, opening a fresh Proof-of-Work opportunity for miners in South Africa. This guide covers what the new hardware means for local deployment — from electricity costs and ventilation to import logistics, merge mining and early-adopter considerations.
Why Tari (XTM) Mining Is Interesting for South Africa
- First-mover ASIC advantage: Early Tari ASIC shipments can capture outsized rewards before global hashrate ramps.
- Lower-noise “BOX” options: Compact units make residential and small-office deployments more practical than large industrial rigs.
- Scalable approach: Start with one unit, validate profitability against your real R/kWh, then scale carefully.

Quick Power Note for RSA
Many South African municipalities use inclining block tariffs. Even a 300–500 W continuous device can shift you into a higher tier. Plan ventilation and heat rejection (especially in warmer provinces), and confirm your blended R/kWh before ordering multiple units.

Where to Buy Tari ASIC Miners in South Africa
If you’re searching for a Tari ASIC miner in South Africa, supply is still limited. Because the Goldshell XT-BOX is brand new, early batches are often sold via international distributors. Working with an established crypto mining hardware supplier in South Africa helps ensure factory-sealed, untested hardware, transparent pricing, and reliable after-sales support. Contact us for local options.
Tari Mining Profitability & Electricity (RSA)
Profitability for a Tari XTM ASIC miner depends heavily on South African electricity tariffs. Residential rates can exceed R2.50 per kWh, while small commercial users may pay slightly less. A 400 W device running 24/7 uses about 9.6 kWh per day, which at R2.50/kWh is ~R24/day. Always calculate net earnings after power costs to avoid surprises.
Miners with access to solar power or special low-tariff industrial feeds may have a significant edge. If you plan to scale, measure your true blended R/kWh (including peak/off-peak charges and demand components) before ordering multiple units.
Hosting Options for Tari Miners
Some South African miners choose data-centre hosting or colocation for better power rates and cooling. Hosting providers can offer bulk electricity pricing and handle ventilation, dust, and noise management. For small home setups, plan proper airflow and heat rejection to protect your investment.
Should You Buy Now or Wait?
The first wave of Tari ASIC miners usually enjoys the best profitability because network difficulty is lower. As global shipments ramp, XTM difficulty rises and earnings per unit decline. If you have affordable power, early adoption can help shorten payback periods — but always run your numbers first.
