Buy Radiant Miners – SHA512256d ASICs from Germany's mining experts

In Radiant network The mining difficulty is dynamically adjusted to keep block times stable and ensure network security.

Yes, Radiant (RXD) can be mined and is a pure Proof-of-Work project - but a small niche coin, not a mainstream asset like Bitcoin. It is mined via the SHA512/256d algorithm: a device provides computing power around the clock, confirms transactions, secures the network and in return receives new RXD as a block reward.

What makes Radiant special is that for this exclusive algorithm there is effectively only a single mining device on the market - the power-efficient IceRiver RX0. How mining works in detail, which hardware and which pool are needed, and whether the effort is even worth it for a niche coin, are answered honestly in the following questions.

Radiant (RXD) is a Proof-of-Work layer-1 blockchain launched in 2022 that combines the UTXO model known from Bitcoin with Turing-complete, programmable smart contracts. It is mined via its own SHA512/256d algorithm; the launch was deliberately fair - no pre-mine, no ICO, no VC funding, all RXD were created exclusively through mining.

For miners it is important to note that Radiant today is a small and rather declining coin. Technically the project is interesting with its Induction Proofs, but economically it is a niche - something to keep in mind honestly from the start. You will find the matching hardware in our Radiant miner overview.

Radiant mining is based on the SHA512/256d algorithm, a double-applied SHA-512/256 hash function. This algorithm is exclusive to Radiant and is not used by any other relevant cryptocurrency - unlike SHA-256, for example, which Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash share.

This has a direct consequence for the hardware: the only ASIC built for it, the IceRiver RX0, is a pure single-coin miner that can mine nothing other than Radiant. Devices for other algorithms such as SHA-256 (Bitcoin) or Scrypt (Litecoin) are not suitable for SHA512/256d and vice versa - anyone who wants to mine RXD needs this hardware specifically.

For Radiant mining there is essentially one single device: the IceRiver RX0, a compact home mini-miner for the SHA512/256d algorithm with very low power consumption of around 100 watts - about as much as a light bulb and a fraction of what an industrial ASIC with 3 to 8 kilowatts draws. Other RXD-capable hardware practically does not exist on the market.

GPU and CPU mining of Radiant has not been worthwhile since this ASIC became available, as the specialized device clearly dominates on efficiency. Anyone who wants to mine Radiant cannot get around this one model; we list an overview in the Radiant miner category.

Radiant shares the Proof-of-Work and UTXO basic principle with Bitcoin, but deliberately takes a different approach. The most important difference for miners is the algorithm: Radiant uses SHA512/256d, while Bitcoin runs on SHA-256 - which means the IceRiver RX0 is not compatible with Bitcoin miners such as the Antminer S21.

Functionally, Radiant goes beyond Bitcoin: it brings programmable smart contracts and native on-chain tokens directly into the UTXO model, while Bitcoin deliberately relies on a leaner system. Block time (around 5 minutes), maximum supply (21 billion RXD) and reward curve also differ significantly. Economically, however, Bitcoin is a mainstream asset, Radiant a small niche coin.

Technically, Radiant is a UTXO-based layer-1 blockchain that extends the UTXO model known from Bitcoin with Turing-complete smart contracts. The core for this are so-called Induction Proofs, which work directly within the SHA512/256d-secured script system.

These solve the well-known "Back-to-Genesis" problem in UTXO chains: outputs can reference other outputs across transactions, so that contract state and tokens can be tracked directly on-chain - without separate indexers. In this way Radiant combines the scalability of the UTXO approach with smart-contract capabilities that are otherwise reserved for account-based chains like Ethereum. This changes nothing about the actual mining with the IceRiver RX0 - it is a feature of the protocol, not of the hashing.

Radiant launched on 20 June 2022 with the genesis block as a pure Proof-of-Work project on the SHA512/256d algorithm. Remarkable is the fair start: no pre-mine, no ICO, no VC funding and no pre-allocated coins - all RXD were created from block 0 exclusively through mining.

The maximum supply is 21 billion RXD, the block time around 5 minutes. The block reward halves every two years; the first halving took place on 19 April 2024. Radiant was thus designed from the outset as a decentralized network launched without pre-financing - a profile that sets it apart from many newer coins with investor allocations.

Yes, Radiant has a halving: the reward per block halves roughly every two years. The first halving took place on 19 April 2024 and reduced the RXD amount paid out per block accordingly; the cycle is therefore shorter than Bitcoin's, where the reward only halves about every four years.

For miners, a halving means that fewer new RXD are created per block found. Especially with a small coin this sharpens the profitability question: the further emission falls, the more strongly a low electricity price and a sustainable RXD price have to carry the yield for continuous operation of the IceRiver RX0 to still pay off.

You mine Radiant via a pool that supports the SHA512/256d algorithm - there, many miners bundle their computing power and share the block rewards proportionally, so you receive regular small payouts instead of waiting a long time for a block of your own. Established options for RXD are K1Pool, WoolyPooly and Kryptex.

Since Radiant is a niche algorithm, only a few specialized pools support it - the large multi-coin pools for Bitcoin or Litecoin are not suitable for it. Fees and payout models (such as PPLNS or PPS+) differ and change continuously, which is why a current comparison directly at the respective pool is worthwhile before making a choice.

The common wallet for Radiant is the Electron Radiant wallet, in which you generate your RXD address. You enter this receiving address in the mining pool so that the mined coins reach the right destination.

A wallet is your personal account with a private key that only you should know - keep it safe, because the coins belong solely to you. Widespread hardware wallets such as Ledger generally do not support Radiant due to its niche position, which is why the dedicated Radiant wallet is the usual route here.

Radiant (RXD) is a small coin and is listed on only a few exchanges - buying therefore requires that a crypto exchange offers RXD at all, but then immediately and at the current price. With mining you are independent of this: with an IceRiver RX0 you generate RXD yourself and receive small block rewards on an ongoing basis.

Buying is therefore the direct, price-dependent entry, as far as available; mining is the ongoing generation, whose profitability is determined by electricity price, RXD price and difficulty. Cryptohall24 is not an exchange in this - we sell the hardware and advise, but do not trade coins ourselves.

Radiant mining is technically still possible, but economically heavily exhausted. Radiant today is a small, rather declining niche coin, and at typical household electricity prices around 30 ct/kWh the yield is often close to zero or in the red - you should honestly expect low returns here, not a lucrative mainstream coin.

At least the very low consumption of the IceRiver RX0 of around 100 watts significantly eases the electricity bill compared to kilowatt-heavy industrial ASICs. Whether Radiant pays off for you depends directly on your electricity price, the current RXD price, the network difficulty and the pool fees. You should check this in advance and up to date with a mining calculator before putting any money in.

With Radiant the yield per device is often tight, which is why the upfront calculation is especially decisive here. A mining calculator takes hashrate and power consumption - only around 100 watts with the IceRiver RX0 - as well as your electricity price, and from the current RXD price and network difficulty determines the estimated yield.

You can see the up-to-date profitability at AsicMinerValue. Because with a niche coin like Radiant even small price or difficulty movements decide between plus or minus, run through your scenario once more shortly before a decision.

For Radiant there is essentially one specialized ASIC, the IceRiver RX0 for the SHA512/256d algorithm. At Cryptohall24 this device is currently not in the range or not available, and other RXD-capable hardware does not exist on the market.

The reason, honestly, is the market: Radiant today is a very small coin, the device is hardly produced new anymore and is essentially available via the secondary market. If you have concrete interest in Radiant hardware, feel free to talk to us - we will assess availability honestly and tell you whether and from where procurement makes sense. Whether deployment is worthwhile depends strongly on price, difficulty and electricity costs and should be checked beforehand with a mining calculator.

No, Cryptohall24 currently does not offer hosting for Radiant. The available Radiant hardware - the IceRiver RX0 - is not Bitmain or MicroBT hardware and, at around 100 watts, is also extremely power-efficient; we do not take such niche and home devices into hosting. But we are happy to sell and explain them.

Our hosting is designed for high-performance industrial ASICs from Bitmain and MicroBT (Whatsminer), which draw several kilowatts and are built for data center operation. Because of its low power consumption, you can sensibly run the compact, quiet IceRiver RX0 at home yourself - it fits easily into a living or working space. How professional mining hosting for industrial ASICs works, we explain elsewhere.
