XBT / BTCB2 naming: XBT (Bitcoin BLAKE2b) and BTCB2 are labels used by different services for this fork. XBT can also mean SHA-256 Bitcoin elsewhere. See the XBT (BTCB2) naming guide and dated sources. This alias does not change the compatibility evidence or establish a hardware test.
Compare XBT (BTCB2) miners by exact-model evidence:
BTCB2 means Bitcoin BLAKE2b, the independent BLAKE2b chain. It is separate from Bitcoin (BTC) and Siacoin (SC). Evidence checked September 8, 2026. No BT-Miners physical miner, share, credit or payout test is claimed.
Pool/project-listed options:
iBeLink BM-S3+ — Pool/project-listed. AlphaPool explicitly lists BM-S3+ Sia firmware on port 7777. Source
iBeLink BM-S3 — Pool/project-listed. B2Pool explicitly names BM-S3; its 4.4 TH/s grouped rating conflicts with the store specification. Source
Goldshell SC Lite — Pool/project-listed. The project miner guide explicitly names SC Lite. Source
Goldshell SC5 Pro — Pool/project-listed. The project names SC5 Pro; this does not validate Pro II or upgraded variants. Source
Goldshell SC-BOX — Pool/project-listed. AlphaPool names SC-BOX, not SC-BOX II. Source
Goldshell HS5 — Pool/project-listed. AlphaPool names HS5 in Sia mode; Handshake mode is unsuitable. Source
Pending verification — outside the listed-model product grid:
Goldshell SC5 Pro II, Goldshell SC6 SE, Goldshell SC-BOX II, iBeLink BM-S1 Max, iBeLink BM-S1, Goldshell HS6, Goldshell HS6 SE, Goldshell HS Lite, Goldshell HS-BOX, Goldshell HS-BOX II. Algorithm or store specifications alone do not confirm BTCB2 firmware and pool support.
Compare before buying:
BM-S3+ is store-rated at 25 TH/s and 3,400 W; BM-S3 at 19 TH/s and 3,100 W; SC Lite at 4.4 TH/s and 950 W; SC5 Pro at 11 TH/s and 2,820 W. These are nominal ratings, not BTCB2 measurements. For HS hardware, compare only Sia-mode hashrate and power. Select the exact model and condition; confirm voltage, cooling, firmware and accepted shares. A credited pool balance and a completed payout are separate checks.
BTCB2 estimate unavailable. SC estimates are not BTCB2 income. Check the live product selector for prices and availability; no earnings or payback are guaranteed.
