GekkoScience KBuddy 15-18TH 300W Home Heater Miner
The KBuddy is the compact sibling to the KBeast — a fully standalone ASIC miner with an integrated 300W power supply, built for anyone who wants real hashrate without the bulk or the power draw. Stock setting runs around 15 TH/s at 200W, with headroom to clock up to 18 TH/s at 300W max.
Like its bigger sibling, the KBuddy is built on GekkoScience's KBox platform and shares the same efficiency ceiling — down to 13 J/TH with tuning — powered by a built-in 94%-efficient Meanwell PSU that runs on 120V or 240V with a simple on/off switch.
Small footprint, real output. Designed to double as a space heater, the KBuddy is the easy entry point for home mining: lower power draw, lower price, and the same enclosed, no-exposed-electronics build quality as the rest of the lineup.
Built to run unattended.
- Fully enclosed steel and aluminum case
- Integrated Linux controller with Ethernet and 2.4/5GHz WiFi
- Easy web-based configuration with live charts and stats (hashrate, power, heat, pool data)
- Quiet integrated fans with speed control
- High/Medium/Low presets, fully user-editable
- Active fan monitoring halts hashing automatically if a fan fails
- Independent double-fuse protection on both mains and hashboard DC bus
- Software and hardware overheat protection

Designed and manufactured in the USA.
