Thoughts on Braiins BMM101 Miner

Got my hands on the first batch of these miners. It took a bit for shipping, but not because of Braiins. They sent it out on December 13, but DHL held it up before passing it to local delivery. Just hooked it up yesterday, so here’s my take.

The packing was solid... miner came in a sturdy box, cushioned well with those inflatable bags. No rattling at all during shipping.

I pointed it to viabtc.com and set my payout to 0.001. Guess in five years I’ll have that much mined... not bad for a DCA strategy, especially if I leave it running in my office.

That’s one approach, but I’m treating it like a lottery miner. Just let it do its thing.

I’ve got some small miners continuously averaging down, and a couple on ckpool. Works for me.

Still waiting on my batch from Q1. The quality looks good, and the interface seems nice. Honestly feels like more of a collector's item right now.

Yeah, it’s quiet... if not completely silent. But you’re definitely paying a premium for it. Honestly, I’ve wasted more cash on worse stuff.

Is the interface local or do you have to hook it up to their servers?

It runs on a local web server.
