Open Source
Open-source mining hardware represents the purest expression of Bitcoin's decentralization ethos — anyone can inspect, modify, and manufacture these designs. D-Central Technologies has been a pioneer in this space, stocking and supporting the full range of open-source miners: Bitaxe, NerdAxe, NerdMiner, NerdQAxe, NerdNOS, PiAxe, NerdOctaxe, StealthMiner, and more as the ecosystem grows.
Why open-source matters for Bitcoin mining:
No vendor lock-in — Firmware is publicly auditable. No hidden fees, no phone-home telemetry, no remote kill switches
Community-driven innovation — Improvements come from miners worldwide, not a single manufacturer's roadmap
True solo mining — These devices are built for sovereign hashrate, connecting directly to solo mining pools
Educational value — See exactly how Bitcoin mining works at the hardware and software level
Our open-source collection ranges from entry-level NerdMiner devices (great for learning and lottery mining) to multi-chip boards like the NerdQAxe and NerdOctaxe that deliver serious hashrate in a compact form factor.
Explore our dedicated Bitaxe Hub for the most comprehensive open-source miner resource on the internet. Use the Solo Mining Probability Calculator to understand your block-finding odds, and browse Bitaxe products for our flagship open-source lineup.
