Goldshell AE Max II 540Mh zkSNARK Aleo ASIC Miner: Product Overview
What Is the AE Max II 540MH and What Does It Mine?
The Goldshell AE Max II 540Mh is a dedicated ZkSNARK ASIC miner for Aleo. Manufactured by Goldshell. This model belongs to the Goldshell AE Series. Released in 2025.
Is the AE Max II 540MH 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 AE Max II 540MH Mine?
Mining Compatibility
Mining on the ZkSNARK algorithm, you compute zero-knowledge proofs to earn Aleo (ALEO); NiceHash does not list ZkSNARK, so ALEO rewards are collected from Aleo pools.
How ZkSNARK Mining Works
A zkSNARK is a compact cryptographic proof that can be verified without revealing the private information behind it. The term describes a proof technique, rather than one universal mining algorithm. In Aleo equipment listings, it refers to specialised proving work: provers solve network puzzles and may receive a share of rewards for valid solutions. They do not produce blocks or act as consensus validators. Compatibility depends on the device, firmware and current Aleo puzzle requirements, not the zkSNARK label alone.
These ZkSNARK assets are covered in the earnings comparison below.
AleoALEO
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.
AE Max II 540MH Cooling Method: Air
No additional cooling equipment is required. However, good airflow, air separation, and effective cooling practices are essential for optimal hashing.
