Damn, you beat me to it! Been working on something similar myself.
- Exploring Documentation of ASIC ChipsMar 2, 2026
A Compac F with BM1397 might not do well since USB isn’t good for more than 15 watts. One chip handles that easily. If you go multi-chip, remember they can’t share heatsinks unless they’re grounded the same. BM1391 has…

Klintay had a solid 16-port hub with a built-in power supply. Wonder if a mixed port hub would work, like 4 USB-A and 4 USB-C.

Found some chargers on Amazon but nothing that does data and PD. USB-C PD is supposed to work with HDDs, printers, etc. Weird.

You should check with bitshopper.de about that.

Totally agree, this is awesome!

Decent hubs are rare too. Most just split into USB-A, HDMI, etc. I remember when USB-C was new, so many wanted miners using it. Still no good options.

Just got an ASUS TUF X570 Gaming board with various connections. No clue what that means for power though.

I have over 30 motherboards, some with USB-C. Just need to check which ones support real USB-C.

Hey everyone. Quick question about something I'm thinking of.
I’ll check with my meters after Thanksgiving. I suspect the bricks are not doing us any favors.
Sounds decent! But are you sure about the efficiency? Seems like a lot is lost.
Nice! The pics look good, but do you think it's easy to assemble?
Wow, that’s progress. What did you ask for?
- New Open Source Bitcoin Miner from BitaxeMay 16, 2025
It's a Bitmain chip, so we’ve already figured out how to interface with it. I tweaked some of their circuit, simplified certain parts, and made them more efficient. The goal was to improve stability and work with what…
- New Open Source Bitcoin Miner from BitaxeMay 16, 2025
So here’s the deal: GekkoScience will be making the Bitaxe Gamma and Supra models. But I also took the liberty to redesign the board completely and improve some aspects instead of just copying the old design. Should…
- Favorite Old School MinersJun 28, 2024
I was pulling in 0.5BTC a week with the Antminer S1. Started from nothing, fixed stuff to make extra cash, and ended up building a 2TH farm. Switched from making big bucks to just collecting fun miners. The Dragon was a…

Not a fan of Spondoolies, honestly. The SP10 was super noisy with those tiny 1U fans. Plus, their 2U models were so long that by the time air got to the heatsinks, it was already hot. Hard to cool when the heatsinks are…

I'm curious about group buy prices. Anyone else interested?

Yeah too pricey for what it offers. Other miners are killing it on price.
