Anyone here still into home mining with small ASICs? I've been trying out a few models lately like Bitaxe Gamma, Avalon Nano 3S, and the NerdQaxe++. Gotta say, the NerdQaxe++ really impressed me stable hashing at about 4.8TH/s and only pulls ~80W. Set it up in under half an hour, and it's been humming for a month now.

I'm running an S19J pro with a modified APW12 to use 110V. Got it in low power mode at around 25-28TH. It's outside in Phoenix, AZ, and still going strong!

You mean like this one? S19 XP board, but with a Loki chip and a custom case. Uses the Bitmain APW 3+ PSU.

I'm just starting out in Bitcoin mining. Not really a fan yet, just using an app on my phone.

Heads up, you can't really mine Bitcoin with an app. Those things are mostly scams or worse, spyware.

Nice analogy... So you're a chef with AAA batteries cooking soup? 😂

NerdQAxe ++ is my favourite solo miner right now, can't go wrong with 80watt power draw, I can run this for many years to come unless the miner dies on me, I can't tell if those Avalon nano are open source and this is where I have problem with these miners. Are miners selling their Bitcoin yet? I can't find a data that they are doing this right now, I think the price for these miners will still dump hard once Bitcoin goes down to 30k or 40 in the next bearish year. I feel that's the perfect time to get this miners for discount, home miners might not be profitable anymore but it's fun, I can run one for the next 10 years to come and maybe, just maybe I can hit a block.

New Home Miner Launched: MagicMiner BG02 – A GPU-Style Bitcoin Miner That Actually Works! Home Bitcoin mining is getting more exciting by the day. A new compact unit has just hit the scene – the MagicMiner BG02. It’s built like a GPU rig but runs SHA256 – and yes, it’s been tested and actually works! 💪 more options for individuals to mine Bitcoin at home without massive infrastructure. another creative design – the NerdQaxe Hydro. This one looks wild – hydro-cooled and totally out-of-the-box. People really have a lot of imagination these days! 😄 Between rigs like the MagicMiner BG02 and NerdQaxe Hydro. Anyone else testing these or planning to? Let’s keep the hashrate decentralized! 🧡

So I read the gpu/asic review would have like to see the gui. would like to know is it under clockable? and it is disappointing that it is only 1 miner per eth jack. but you could use an unplugged riser and mount it anyplace you want that is close to a psu. it uses an out of date chip bm1968 now if it were the bm1970 and you could daisy chain it it would be nice. i have 13 empty gpu cases 12 cards i could put in six cards. but i envision four risers on a board with a small ethernet switch and an atx psu. this would be okay if they used the bm1970 chip. 500 bucks and 10th using 167 watts vs 450 bucks and 7 th using 167 watts. It would be nice to make a four card unit but i make 1 board s19xp miners that can do 35th easy peasy and I can make them for maybe 750 usd while these are 450 and 7th also i do not want to use a pc and the constant heat of the card is hard on the gear.

I am using a NerdQAxe++ which i bought from mineshop.eu - perfect litte device, I cracked 1.94G last night running against my Docker stack (https://github.com/magicdude4eva/btc-fullnode-stack). The device is on it's default settings and consumes about 80W and hashrate is 4.3 to 4.8TH/s (sometimes breaking out to 5.2TH). Waiting for that block to drop

I'm using this Bitaxe Gamma 601. I'm also a novice, but it works quite well. However, I have a job myself, so I only check on it during my rest time.

i change layout. Each Bitaxe has its own power supply. A single one gave problems even when oversized. https://www.talkimg.com/images/2026/01/06/Uzx9Bv.png
