Bitmain Antminer HS3 9Th Handshake HNS ASIC Miner: Product Overview
What Is the Antminer HS3 and What Does It Mine?
The Bitmain Antminer HS3 9Th is a dedicated Handshake ASIC miner for Handshake. Manufactured by Bitmain. This model belongs to the Antminer HS Series. Released in 2022.
Is the Antminer HS3 Right for Your Setup?
Mining starts with power. A competitive electricity tariff or surplus renewable generation can give your operation a useful cost advantage, while higher electricity prices can make an otherwise capable miner uneconomic. Compare your rate and chosen coin in the earnings table, allowing for cooling, pool fees and any other operating costs.
Prefer to avoid the day-to-day work of running your own mining site? Our managed ASIC hosting services offer an alternative, with power, cooling and monitoring handled at the facility. Explore current locations and rates, then speak to our team to confirm compatibility, availability, minimum quantities and any additional fees.
For this air cooled model, plan a clear route for cool intake air and warm exhaust air. Allow for fan noise and a continuous electrical load, with the supply and connection assessed for the manufacturer’s requirements.
Confirm the power supply, leads and cooling equipment included with your exact variant, and obtain its manufacturer’s installation manual before arranging the installation.
Which Coins Can the Antminer HS3 Mine?
Mining Compatibility
Mining on the Handshake algorithm, you validate the decentralized naming network and earn Handshake (HNS); NiceHash does not list Handshake, so HNS rewards are obtained directly from Handshake pools.
How Handshake Mining Works
Handshake uses proof of work based on BLAKE2b and SHA3 to secure a decentralised naming system. Its blockchain records ownership and transfers of names, with HNS serving as the network currency. Mining supports the blockchain that maintains these records; it does not automatically register a domain for the miner or provide website hosting. Dedicated Handshake equipment must implement the network's specific hashing construction. Support for another algorithm using BLAKE2b or SHA3 does not, by itself, establish Handshake compatibility.
These Handshake assets are covered in the earnings comparison below.

Coin and merged mining support depend on the network, pool and firmware. Selling hashpower through a marketplace is different from directly mining its payout coin.
Antminer HS3 Cooling Method: Air
No additional cooling equipment is required. However, good airflow, air separation, and effective cooling practices are essential for optimal hashing.
