Mining knowledge, repair guides, and industry insights from the workshop floor.
Every Bitcoin miner faces a fundamental decision before their first hash is computed: pool mining or solo mining? This choice shapes your economics, your privacy, your relationship with the…
The entire history of Bitcoin mining hardware has been a story of centralization. A handful of manufacturers, behind closed doors, designing chips and machines that only they control.
Buying your first Bitcoin miner is not a financial decision. It is a sovereignty decision. Every miner you plug in, no matter how small, contributes hashrate to the most decentralized…
Yes. Both devices convert 100% of consumed electricity into heat — this is dictated by the first law of thermodynamics.
Solo mining is a numbers game. Your Bitaxe is hashing against the entire Bitcoin network — roughly 800+ EH/s of combined computational power.
The Bitmain Antminer S19a is a mid-generation refresh of the S19 platform, featuring the improved BM1398AC chip variant that delivered higher efficiency through better silicon…
The best Bitcoin mining heaters in 2026 are the D-Central S9 Space Heater Edition for best overall value, the Heatbit Trio for beginners, and the…
The best Bitcoin gifts for Father’s Day 2026. From desk collectibles to solo miners to space heaters, D-Central has curated the ultimate guide for the orange-pilled dad — or the one you are about to orange-pill.
North America is the undisputed epicenter of Bitcoin mining. The United States and Canada together account for roughly 40% of global hashrate, and for good reason: abundant energy…
Your ASIC miner just died. The dashboard shows zero hashrate, error codes are scrolling past, and you are standing in front of a machine that was earning you bitcoin yesterday.

The home mining space has never had more options. Two of the most popular choices sitting on desks and shelves right now are Canaan’s Avalon Nano 3 and the Bitaxe open-source miner family.
Choosing the right firmware for your Antminer is one of the highest-impact decisions you can make as a home miner. The firmware running on your ASIC miner controls everything — autotuning…
When Bitmain announced the Antminer S21, the Bitcoin mining world took notice. After years of incremental improvements across the S19 lineup, the S21 represents a genuine generational leap…
“Every hash counts” is not a slogan. It is a technical statement about how Bitcoin works. Every single SHA-256 computation submitted to the network — whether it comes from a warehouse…
On July 24, 2024, something happened that the probability calculators said should take thousands of years. A single Bitaxe Ultra — a hand-sized, open-source Bitcoin miner producing…
Every ASIC miner — whether it is an Antminer S21, a Whatsminer M60, or an old S9 running as a space heater — is fundamentally built from two types of boards: the control board and the…
Every ASIC chip is a furnace in miniature. The BM1366 and BM1370 chips inside your Bitaxe are computing trillions of SHA-256 hashes per second, and every single hash generates heat.
So your ASIC miner is down. Maybe a hashboard stopped hashing, a fan died, or the whole unit refuses to boot. You have done the troubleshooting, tried the firmware flash, reseated every…
The Antminer S21 represents Bitmain’s latest generation of SHA-256 mining hardware, delivering up to 200 TH/s at a remarkable 17.5 J/TH efficiency.
Complete guide to ASIC miner repair costs in 2026. Covers pricing for hashboard repair, control board repair, chip-level micro-soldering, PSU repair, and full system rebuilds. Includes repair vs replace decision framework and cost breakdown by miner model.
On July 24, 2024, a single Bitaxe — an open-source Bitcoin miner with roughly 3 TH/s of hashrate — found a valid Bitcoin block. Block 853,742. The entire block reward, 3.
AxeOS is the open-source firmware that powers every Bitaxe device. It is the brain of your solo miner — the software running on the ESP32-S3 microcontroller that controls the ASIC chip…
Bitcoin mining in 2026 is no longer the exclusive domain of warehouse-scale operations. From a $30 educational device sitting on your desk to a multi-thousand-dollar ASIC pushing 200+…
Noise is the number one reason people abandon Bitcoin mining at home. A stock Antminer S19 screams at 75 dB — louder than a vacuum cleaner running nonstop in your living room.
If you are buying a Bitcoin ASIC miner in 2026, your decision almost certainly comes down to two brands: Bitmain’s Antminer series and MicroBT’s Whatsminer series.
Choosing the right firmware for your Antminer is one of the highest-impact decisions you can make as a miner. Stock firmware from Bitmain gets the job done, but it leaves serious…
You have decided to mine Bitcoin. Maybe you want to contribute to network decentralization. Maybe you want to heat your home with a miner.
“Should I mine Bitcoin or just buy it?” If you spend any time in Bitcoin communities, you will hear this question weekly. The honest answer is: it depends on what you are optimizing for.
The Bitaxe is the world’s first fully open-source Bitcoin ASIC miner — and it has already changed the game. Born from the cypherpunk conviction that Bitcoin mining should not be locked…
