Supporting the Community

With every purchase of a Bitaxe DIY Kit, 10$ is donated to Open Source Miners United, championing the development and proliferation of open-source mining hardware. This contribution supports the broader mining community, fueling innovation and collaboration in the open-source ecosystem.

User-Friendly Experience

The Bitaxe DIY Kit is meticulously organized to ensure a smooth building process. Each part is clearly labeled and packaged in a convenient box, accompanied by easy-to-follow instructions. This thoughtful presentation removes any guesswork, making the assembly process straightforward and enjoyable.

Open-Source Mining Hardware

At the heart of the Bitaxe project is our commitment to open-source principles. By choosing the Bitaxe DIY Kit, you’re not just building a miner; you’re participating in an open-source hardware revolution. The Bitaxe project is can be found on GitHub (https://github.com/skot/bitaxe), where you can delve into the design files, firmware, and software that power your miner. This transparency fosters a collaborative environment where improvements and innovations are shared, ensuring that Bitaxe remains at the forefront of mining technology.

What’s Included

Each Bitaxe DIY Kit includes ALL the essential components needed to build a fully operational Bitaxe miner. Engineered for seamless integration with the powerful ESP32 chip, it offers a streamlined, efficient mining solution by running cgminer locally through WiFi.
