NerdOctaxe Gamma
Eight-chip open-source miner, highest hashrate in the Nerd lineup. Powered by 12V DC via XT60 connector, requires 18-20A PSU.
Open Source Hardware
This miner is built on open-source hardware designs — transparent schematics published for anyone to audit, modify, and manufacture. No vendor lock-in, no proprietary firmware, and community-verified security.
Every Bitcoiner who cares about decentralization should own open-source mining hardware. It is the ultimate expression of hardware sovereignty — no single company controls the design, the firmware, or your ability to mine.
Explore the Bitaxe Hub →Open Source Miners United
Open Source Miners United (OSMU) is the community movement behind open-source Bitcoin mining hardware. The designs were published openly, enabling permissionless manufacturing worldwide — ensuring no single entity controls mining hardware production.
D-Central participates in the OSMU ecosystem by assembling open-source miners, carrying Bitaxe-compatible accessories, and supporting builders from Canada.

Heating offset estimates the value of heat replacing an electric space heater during heating season (~6 months/year in Canada). Actual savings depend on your heating setup and climate.
Solo Mining Estimate
Solo mining is a lottery. There is no guarantee of finding a block. These estimates are based on current network difficulty and your hashrate. Every hash has an equal chance.

Home Mining Assessment
Eight-chip open-source miner, highest hashrate in the Nerd lineup. Powered by 12V DC via XT60 connector, requires 18-20A PSU.
The NerdOctaxe Gamma is a SHA-256 cryptocurrency miner manufactured by D-Central. It delivers a hashrate of 8 TH/s with a power consumption of 200W, achieving an efficiency of 25 J/TH.
Built on the BM1370 ASIC chip, uses air cooling, operates at 45 dB noise level, weighs 0.8 kg, measures 150x90x50.
With a home mining score of 61/100, this miner is moderately suitable for residential use. It produces 682.4 BTU/h of heat output, making it suitable for supplemental space heating.
At 25 J/TH, the NerdOctaxe Gamma sits in the previous-generation efficiency tier; it runs best where electricity is inexpensive, or as a dual-purpose heat source.
The NerdOctaxe Gamma is solo-mining capable, so you can point it at your own node or a solo pool for a shot at a full block reward, and its waste heat (around 682.4 BTU/h) can be ducted into a room, turning money you would otherwise spend on heating into hashrate.
