As with any advanced mining hardware, initial setups may require some technical adjustments.

Is the Bitaxe Supra (1368) profitable?

The profitability of the Bitaxe Supra (1368) can be a concern due to its single ASIC chip, which means it won’t generate as high a hashrate as larger, multi-chip miners like the S19 XP. This miner is often used more as a “lotto miner” or to stack small amounts of satoshis from mining pools. It’s not typically profitable with electricity prices above $0, but it provides valuable experience and supports decentralized, open-source mining efforts. This miner allows users to learn and engage with Bitcoin mining without significant financial investment.

What is lotto mining, and why is the Bitaxe Supra (1368) ideal for it?

Lotto mining refers to solo mining with a small hashrate in hopes of finding a block, similar to buying a lottery ticket. While the chances of finding a block are slim, the reward can be significant. The Bitaxe Supra (1368) is ideal for lotto mining because it allows individuals to participate in mining without requiring massive infrastructure or capital investment. By using this device, miners contribute to the decentralization of the network, supporting the Bitcoin ecosystem even if they don’t achieve high profitability. Additionally, the open-source design of the Bitaxe Supra fosters a learning environment where users can gain hands-on experience with Bitcoin mining technology.

Why should I consider using the Bitaxe Supra (1368) if it’s not highly profitable?

The primary goal of the Bitaxe Supra (1368) is not necessarily to make a profit but to offer an accessible entry point into Bitcoin mining. It is ideal for learning, experimentation, and contributing to the decentralization of the Bitcoin network. Additionally, mining with a Bitaxe Supra allows you to acquire “fresh” BTC.
