๐บInterview with IceRiver Team about their BTC Prototype Miner โก
—
I finally got my hands on the brandโnew IceRiver BTC Prototype Miner โ the same mysterious unit IceRiver has been quietly developing for over a year. During Bitcoin Vegas 2026, the IceRiver team handed me an early concept model to bring home, power up, and put to the testโฆ and today, weโre doing exactly that.
In this video, we fire up the prototype for the very first time to see whether IceRiverโs new BTC miner can actually compete with the giants of the industry โ Bitmain, Whatsminer, Canaan, and the rest of the ASIC heavyweights. Does this prototype show real potential, or is it still miles away from productionโready performance?
We also take the miner apart for an exclusive first look at IceRiverโs new BTC chip design, PCB layout, cooling approach, and overall engineering direction. If youโve been wondering whether IceRiver is truly entering the Bitcoin mining space โ hereโs your proof.
Whether youโre a home miner, an ASIC enthusiast, or just curious about the next wave of BTC hardware, this is your first real look at what IceRiver has been building behind the scenes.
