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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Bitaxe Hex profitable?
At $0.07/kWh, the Bitaxe Hex currently operates at a daily loss of $0.06. However, profitability can improve with lower electricity rates or rising BTC prices. If used as a space heater, the heating offset may make it economically viable.
Can I mine Bitcoin at home with the Bitaxe Hex?
Yes, the Bitaxe Hex scores 74/100 for home mining viability. It produces 45 dB of noise and draws 90W. It is suitable for home environments with appropriate placement considerations.
Can the Bitaxe Hex heat my home?
The Bitaxe Hex outputs approximately 307.1 BTU/hr of heat. For reference, a typical space heater produces 5,000-5,500 BTU/hr. All electrical energy consumed by the miner is converted to heat, making it 100% efficient as a heater. D-Central offers Bitcoin Space Heater builds designed specifically for home heating integration.
What power supply does the Bitaxe Hex need?
The Bitaxe Hex draws 90W of power. You need a power supply rated for at least 99W with appropriate voltage (12V DC (XT30 connector)). D-Central stocks compatible power supplies in our shop. Always use a quality PSU from a reputable manufacturer to protect your investment.
