MineShop: NVIDIA DGX Spark and ASIC miners, 3% off

MineShop has recently started selling more than ASIC miners — it now stocks AI hardware too: the NVIDIA DGX Spark is on sale for €5,099.87 (excl. VAT), down from €6,599.00. On the mining side, the WhatsMiner M61 (208 TH/s) is the new flagship, priced at €1,499.87. Coupon code CRYPTOCODES takes a further 3% off, while stocks last — that last condition was supplied directly by Cryptocode and doesn't appear separately on the store's own pages. All MineShop prices are excluding VAT.

The range at a glance

MineShop has grown into a store with two clearly separate product lines: bitcoin mining hardware, and, since recently, AI computers built on NVIDIA's Blackwell architecture. A selection, prices excluding VAT:

Separately, a smaller promotion runs on the Avalon Mini 3 with its own, different code (EA99, not to be confused with CRYPTOCODES) — mixing the two up costs you discount instead of adding to it.

What the CRYPTOCODES code actually does

Three percent, a condition supplied by Cryptocode and valid while stocks last. For the previous MineShop article (27 August), we tested that percentage directly at checkout and confirmed it stacks on the sale price, not the original list price. Applying that same stacking method to this article's two headline products, as a worked example:

This worked example was not retested at checkout for this article — we did that for the 27 August article, on a different product. So treat it as correct as supplied, but check it yourself in the cart before you pay. VAT is added to the subtotal on top of that (21% in the Netherlands), and shipping is only calculated in the cart — it depends on parcel size and destination country.

The NVIDIA DGX Spark: not a miner, but an AI computer for home use

One thing worth clearing up first: the DGX Spark doesn't mine bitcoin and wasn't built to. It's a desktop AI computer, powered by the NVIDIA GB10 Grace Blackwell Superchip — a 20-core Arm processor (10 Cortex-X925 + 10 Cortex-A725) paired with a Blackwell GPU. It has 128GB of unified LPDDR5x memory with 273 GB/s of bandwidth, a 4TB NVMe SSD, and delivers up to 1 petaFLOP (1,000 TFLOP) of FP4 AI compute. The stated power draw is 140W for the GB10 chip itself, with a 240W power supply. These figures come directly from NVIDIA's own product page and are independently confirmed by HotHardware's hands-on review.

What it's for: running and fine-tuning large language models locally (up to roughly 70 billion parameters) and running inference on models up to around 200 billion parameters, without the data ever leaving a local environment for the cloud. NVIDIA itself doesn't position the device as a replacement for a regular workstation PC, but as a companion to one — for anyone who wants to run AI agents, image generation, or model development locally and privately.

A few US review sites mention a list price around $4,699 for the US market. That figure is separate from MineShop's €5,099.87 sale price: different currency, different market, and at MineShop VAT isn't included yet, while shipping from Ireland stays customs-free within the EU. So don't compare the two prices directly — they're two different markets with a different pricing model.

Why a mining store is now selling AI hardware

MineShop offering AI workstations alongside ASIC miners fits a broader trend we've covered before: miners trading bitcoin hardware for AI datacentres. ASIC miners and AI chips need the same kind of infrastructure — a lot of power, a lot of cooling, a stable connection — which makes it relatively easy for companies already in mining to move into AI compute. For a buyer, this mainly means the choice has widened: same store, same shipping terms, but now also a category that has nothing to do with bitcoin.

Who can actually house a WhatsMiner M61?

At 208 TH/s and 19 J/TH efficiency, the M61 is a serious machine, but not a home model. MineShop says so itself: the unit produces 75 decibels — comparable to a vacuum cleaner — draws roughly 3.95 kW continuously, and needs its own 220-240V connection rated at least 16A. On a monthly basis that works out to about 2,850 kWh; at €0.25 per kWh that's well over €700 in electricity, every month, on top of the purchase price. MineShop also ships the M61 without a manufacturer's warranty — "sold as-is," as the store itself puts it: tested and working at the time of shipping, but no warranty cover after that.

Anyone who wants to seriously weigh electricity costs and heat dissipation before buying a miner, at home or in a shed, can run the numbers for their own situation with our heat calculator. MineShop, incidentally, has a similar calculator on its own site, but that's a separate tool from a different company — the outcomes aren't directly interchangeable.

For anyone after a genuinely living-room-friendly model: the Bitaxe and NerdQaxe models (17-100W) and the Avalon Nano 3S (140W) are among the models MineShop itself markets as "mini miners" for home use, starting from €59. What small models like these actually earn you, we covered earlier in what home bitcoin mining really earns you and in buying an ASIC miner at MineShop.

Shipping and trust

MineShop ships from Ireland, within the EU, with no customs handling. Checked directly on Trustpilot on 17 September 2026, the store shows 4.7 out of 5 stars, from 1,506 reviews — a slightly different figure from the badge MineShop shows on its own homepage (4.8/5, 1,319 reviews), which appears not to have been updated. Both figures point to a store with a solid track record, not a freshly launched page.

Who this is worth considering for

• You want to experiment with AI locally, without cloud costs or data leaving the house. The DGX Spark is built for that, not for bitcoin.
• You have a commercial connection or your own generation that can carry a miner like the M61. Without that starting point, the electricity bill is the problem, not the purchase price.
• You're after an entry-level home model. The models from €59 don't need a separate connection or an industrial unit.

Who it's not for

• You expect the DGX Spark to mine bitcoin for you. It doesn't; it's neither an ASIC nor a GPU miner in the usual sense.
• You want to put the M61 in a living room. 75 dB and 3.95 kW of continuous draw aren't built for that, and the store says so itself.
• You're counting on a warranty if the M61 breaks. There isn't one — the unit is sold as-is.

Frequently asked questions

Can the NVIDIA DGX Spark mine bitcoin?

No. It's an AI computer, built for local language models and image generation, not SHA-256 mining. No ASIC or mining firmware is available for it.

Does CRYPTOCODES work on the DGX Spark too?

According to the terms Cryptocode supplied, yes, with 3% off while stocks last. We didn't separately retest this at checkout on the DGX Spark itself for this article — check it in your cart before you pay.

Are MineShop's prices VAT-inclusive?

No. All listed amounts are excluding VAT; that's added at checkout.

Can I just put a WhatsMiner M61 in my house?

Technically yes, but MineShop advises against it for living spaces: 75 dB of noise and nearly 4 kW of continuous draw call for a garage, shed, or dedicated room with its own 220-240V circuit.

How long does the offer run?

MineShop doesn't state that on its product pages. "While stocks last" is the condition Cryptocode gave for the CRYPTOCODES code; there's no hard end date listed.

What we couldn't establish

• Whether the CRYPTOCODES discount works exactly the same way on the DGX Spark as on the ASIC miners we tested earlier. We didn't reconfirm this article's worked example at checkout.
• The exact end date of "while stocks last" — it isn't stated anywhere.
• Whether the EA99 code (Avalon Mini 3) can be combined with CRYPTOCODES; most webshops allow only one code per order, but that isn't stated explicitly here.
• Shipping costs specifically for the DGX Spark — MineShop only calculates those in the cart.

All prices and specifications were checked on 17 September 2026 on mineshop.eu, nvidia.com and trustpilot.com. Prices and offers can change; whatever shows at checkout is what applies.

This article is product information, not financial advice. Bitcoin mining doesn't guarantee any return; earnings depend on price, difficulty, and your own electricity rate, and can end up lower than the costs. The WhatsMiner M61 is sold without a manufacturer's warranty. Links to MineShop in this article are affiliate links; that costs you nothing extra.
