Mining knowledge, repair guides, and industry insights from the workshop floor.
The MicroBT Whatsminer M30S is the machine that earned MicroBT its seat at the table alongside Bitmain. Released in early 2020, the M30S delivered 86 TH/s of SHA-256 hashrate at 38 J/TH —…

Every ASIC miner you own is constantly writing a diary. Every second it runs, it records chip initializations, temperature readings, voltage adjustments, pool connections, share…
Your Antminer shipped with Bitmain’s stock firmware — our Antminer firmware update guide covers all firmware options in detail.
Every watt of electricity that enters an ASIC miner exits as heat. That is not a design flaw — it is thermodynamics. A Bitcoin space heater is simply the honest acknowledgment of this…
This reference manual is your field handbook for diagnosing Antminer issues. Whether you are staring at a blinking red LED at 2 AM or parsing cryptic kernel log messages over SSH, this…
The NerdOctaxe Gamma is the most powerful open-source Bitcoin miner ever built for the desktop. Eight BM1370 ASIC chips — the same silicon inside Bitmain’s flagship Antminer S21 Pro —…
The NerdMiner is your $50 entry ticket into the world of Bitcoin mining. Built on the ESP32-S3 microcontroller (TTGO T-Display S3 board), it is a tiny, silent, USB-powered device that…
The NerdQAxe++ is a quad-chip open-source Bitcoin solo miner built around four BM1370 ASIC chips — the same silicon powering Bitmain’s flagship Antminer S21 Pro.
The NerdAxe is where open-source Bitcoin mining gets real. Built around the BM1366 ASIC chip — the same 5nm silicon that powers Bitmain’s industrial-grade Antminer S19 XP — the NerdAxe…
The Bitaxe GT (Gamma Turbo), model designation Bitaxe 801, is the most powerful single-board Bitaxe ever built. It pairs two BM1370 ASIC chips — the same silicon that drives Bitmain’s…
The Bitaxe Hex is the flagship multi-chip open-source Bitcoin solo miner — and it changes the solo mining equation entirely.
The Bitaxe Gamma is the latest generation of open-source solo Bitcoin miners, built around the BM1370 ASIC chip — the same silicon powering Bitmain’s flagship Antminer S21 XP.
The Bitaxe Supra is an open-source, standalone Bitcoin solo miner built around the BM1368 ASIC chip — the same chip family used in Bitmain’s industrial-grade Antminer S21 series.
Every ten minutes, the Bitcoin network mints a new block. Roughly 3.125 BTC in block subsidy plus transaction fees flow to whichever miner solves the cryptographic puzzle first.
Every Bitcoin miner on the planet — from a single Bitaxe on a desk in Montreal to a warehouse full of S21 Pros in West Texas — runs on a tiny sliver of custom silicon.
Something is wrong with your Bitaxe. Maybe it is not hashing. Maybe it dropped off the network. Maybe the hashrate tanked overnight and you woke up to a blinking LED and a zero on your dashboard.
Your Bitaxe is a tiny, open-source piece of Bitcoin mining hardware. Out of the box, it hashes. But with the right accessories, it hashes better — cooler, quieter, more stable, and with…
Your Antminer’s firmware is the software brain running on its control board — the operating system that orchestrates ASIC chip communication, pool connections, temperature management, fan…
Your Bitaxe is a tiny, open-source Bitcoin mining machine. Under the hood, it runs AxeOS — an open-source firmware built on the ESP32-S3 microcontroller that handles everything from ASIC…
An ASIC miner on your desk sounds like standing next to a leaf blower. An ASIC miner in a properly built mining closet sounds like a distant hum.
Your Antminer was built for a data center. It was designed to run at maximum power in a temperature-controlled warehouse with dedicated 240V circuits, industrial cooling, and nobody living…
Everything you need to know about solo Bitcoin mining — the mathematics, the hardware, the pools, and why lottery mining matters for decentralization.
Everything you need to mine Bitcoin at home — hardware selection, electrical setup, noise management, heat recovery, pool configuration, and optimization. From USB-powered Bitaxe solo miners to full ASIC rigs heating your garage.
Self-hosted AI isn’t as easy as opening ChatGPT — but for plebs who already run nodes and miners, the learning curve is half what it looks like. Here’s the whole picture before you install anything.
Bitcoin, since its inception in 2009, has revolutionized the concept of currency and paved the way for a new era of digital finance.
In recent years, Bitcoin, the pioneering cryptocurrency, has captivated the world’s attention not just for its financial allure but also for its underlying technology: Bitcoin mining.
In the digital age, Bitcoin mining has emerged as a revolutionary process that underpins the functioning of the Bitcoin network.
In the rapidly evolving landscape of cryptocurrency mining, Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) miners have emerged as the gold standard for efficiency and performance.
Bitcoin mining, the process of validating transactions and securing the Bitcoin network, is notoriously energy-intensive.
