Anyone who wants to buy a Bitaxe gets the cheapest, most economical entry into their own Bitcoin mining.

What is a Bitaxe?

A Bitaxe is a compact Bitcoin miner with a single mining ASIC, controlled by a small microcontroller with WLAN and web dashboard. The current Gamma generation uses the efficient BM1370 ASIC and reaches around 1.3 TH/s. Because the design is open, you can understand, adapt and repair the device – no vendor lock-in, no cloud account.

Why a Bitaxe?

  • Cheap, economical entry into Bitcoin mining at home (~15 W).
  • Open and repairable – no vendor lock-in, no cloud account.
  • Perfect for solo mining (“lottery mining”) with a chance at a whole block.
  • Quiet enough for the living room, even quieter and more stable with a cooling upgrade.
  • Huge community and constant development of the AxeOS firmware.

What exactly a lottery miner is and how high the chance of a block is, is explained in Lottery miner explained.
