From miners, for miners.
We make Bitcoin mining at home accessible – with open hardware, honest advice and support that actually helps.
Why we exist
Open Source Miners was born out of frustration. For a long time, anyone who wanted to mine Bitcoin at home had only three bad options: loud industrial machines that fit in no home; closed black boxes that quietly phone home; or weeks-long imports from overseas – with customs hassle, no warranty and support that never replies.
Yet something better has existed for a while: the Bitaxe project and its open firmware AxeOS. Small, efficient, quiet miners whose blueprints and code are open – hardware you understand, configure yourself and truly own. That is exactly what we back, without compromise: no vendor lock-in, no mandatory account, no black box.
“Hardware that belongs to you – not to the manufacturer.”
We are miners ourselves. We know the questions during the first setup, the thrill of the block lottery and the difference between honest advice and sales talk. That is why we will also tell you when something is not worth it. We ship our stock within 24 hours from the EU – with no customs surprises – and if something goes wrong during setup, a human replies, usually within 24 hours.
What we stand for
Open source, not a marketing label
Open hardware and AxeOS firmware: every setting visible, every value adjustable, everything repairable.
Bitcoin only
No altcoins, no “cloud mining”. Just real mining on the Bitcoin network that belongs to you.
Honest advice
We also tell you when something is not worth it. Home mining is a hobby and learning – not a promise of riches.
