Bitaxe Hex
Six-chip Bitaxe board for serious solo miners. Significantly higher hashrate while remaining home-friendly. Powered by 12V DC via XT30 connector.
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
Six-chip Bitaxe board for serious solo miners. Significantly higher hashrate while remaining home-friendly. Powered by 12V DC via XT30 connector.
The Bitaxe Hex is a SHA-256 cryptocurrency miner manufactured by D-Central. It delivers a hashrate of 3 TH/s with a power consumption of 90W, achieving an efficiency of 30 J/TH.
Built on the BM1366 ASIC chip, uses air cooling, operates at 45 dB noise level, weighs 0.5 kg, measures 130x80x50.
With a home mining score of 64/100, this miner is moderately suitable for residential use. It produces 307.1 BTU/h of heat output, making it suitable for supplemental space heating.
At 30 J/TH, the Bitaxe Hex sits in the previous-generation efficiency tier; it runs best where electricity is inexpensive, or as a dual-purpose heat source.
The Bitaxe Hex 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 307.1 BTU/h) can be ducted into a room, turning money you would otherwise spend on heating into hashrate.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the current mining economics for the Bitaxe Hex?
At $0.07/kWh, the Bitaxe Hex currently shows an estimated daily net cost of $0.07 before pool fees and hardware cost. Lower electricity rates, network changes, BTC price changes, or useful heat recovery can change the result.
Can I mine Bitcoin at home with the Bitaxe Hex?
Yes, the Bitaxe Hex scores 64/100 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 the miner and wiring.
