Skycoin has announced the release of Skyminer with 300 units set to ship worldwide. The energy-efficient miner is a critical piece to deploying Skywire –- a secure, decentralized mesh-internet –- and actualizing a user-controlled internet unaffected by a net neutrality repeal.

Custom PCB boards
16-port OpenWRT router
16 GB RAM (32 x 512MB DDR3)
ARM Cortex ™-A53 CPU
8 x 16GB Class-10 A1 Micro SD
Hexa-core Mali450 GPU
LAN Bandwidth: 8 x 100Mbps
Gigabit ethernet, 8+1 port switch
64-bit Linux (Alpine Linux)
Skyminer Powers Skywire
Skywire provides a blockchain-based, decentralized internet that users can browse securely and privately. When users forward traffic and bandwidth on Skywire via the Skyminer, they earn Skycoin. When users need to access the bandwidth, they pay Skycoin. This setup incentivizes users to power Skywire’s peer-to-peer environment.
To access Skywire, a user runs a node. Like Tor, nodes forwarding traffic only see the previous and next hop. Unlike Tor, the experience is faster, more secure, and users get paid to run their node.For users sick of battling corporate ISPs and corrupt coins, the Skycoin project is the solution.
