Bitaxe miners

Bitaxe miners for open-source Bitcoin mining at home. Not sure which model fits? Our buying guide compares them all: buy a Bitaxe – all models compared.

What makes a Bitaxe

A Bitaxe is an open-source Bitcoin miner: schematics, board layout and the AxeOS firmware are open, and you enter pool, worker and your own Bitcoin address yourself in the browser. The board runs the same ASIC generation as large industrial miners – just a single one: quiet enough for a living room and frugal enough for continuous operation. How the solo mining behind it works is covered in our guide.

Which Bitaxe fits you?

The Bitaxe Gamma is the entry point: around 1.3 TH/s at roughly 15 W and under 15 dB(A) – the default for a living room. The Bitaxe GT delivers 2.15 TH/s from two ASICs, the Supra Hex 702 bundles six chips into around 4.2 TH/s. If you want to overclock, take the Copperzilla with solid copper cooling. The miner comparison shows all models side by side, and the Bitaxe buying guide goes into detail.

The values come from our product pages. What a single device achieves in daily use depends on clock, voltage and cooling; measured values per model are in the overclocking guide. The mining calculator works out the power draw and block chance of each model.

Every device ships with power supply and instructions; setup runs entirely in the browser and takes a few minutes – shown step by step in the setup guide. Shipping across Europe, payment by card, PayPal, bank transfer or Bitcoin, 14-day returns and human support.

Frequently asked questions about the Bitaxe

Which Bitaxe is best for beginners?

The Bitaxe Gamma 601. It runs a single BM1370 chip, draws about 15 W from a 5 V power supply and at under 15 dB(A) is quiet enough for a desk or living room. If you want more hashrate later, add a second one or move to a multi-chip model.

What is the difference between the Bitaxe Gamma, GT and Supra Hex?

The number of chips. The Gamma has one BM1370, the GT (Gamma Turbo, model 801) has two and reaches about 2.15 TH/s, the Supra Hex 702 has six BM1368 and does about 4.2 TH/s. More chips bring more hashrate and a higher block chance, but also more power draw, heat and fan noise. Per terahash the Gamma is the most efficient.

Does a Bitaxe come with a power supply?

Yes. Every Bitaxe ships with a matching power supply: 5 V for the Gamma and Copperzilla, 12 V for the GT and Supra Hex. Which supplies work as a replacement or for overclocking is in the guide power supply for a Bitaxe.

How much power does a Bitaxe use?

A Gamma draws about 15 W, roughly 11 kWh a month. The GT is at 43 W, the Supra Hex at about 90 W. The mining calculator shows what that costs at your electricity price.

What are the odds of finding a block with a Bitaxe?

Small, but real. At today’s network hashrate a Gamma has about a 1 in 14,000 chance per year, a Supra Hex about three times that. Every block found pays the full reward of 3.125 BTC plus fees. The maths and real Bitaxe blocks are in finding a block with a Bitaxe.

Which pool should I use for a Bitaxe?

For solo mining our Bitaxe Pool: host stratum.bitaxe.de, port 3333, your Bitcoin address as user, 0 % fee, servers in Frankfurt. The guide choosing a Bitaxe mining pool compares the alternatives.
