Nerdaxe Gamma Bitcoin Solo Miner (Revision 2.3 Model)

Description The Nerdaxe Gamma is a fork of the Bitaxe project created by BitMaker and Bitronics, combining the NerdMiner display experience with a full BM1370 ASIC. The Nerdaxe Gamma delivers 1.2 TH/s of SHA-256 hashrate from a single Bitmain BM1370 ASIC chip while drawing only 18 watts. This palm-sized, open-source miner connects to your home Wi-Fi and mines Bitcoin directly to your own wallet through a solo mining pool or your personal Bitcoin node. Every Nerdaxe Gamma sold by Solo Satoshi ships assembled and fully tested from Houston, Texas with a 90-day warranty and same-day shipping on orders placed before 12 p.m. CST. Why the Nerdaxe Gamma Stands Out The BM1370 is the same ASIC die used in Bitmain’s Antminer S21 Pro, one of the most efficient industrial Bitcoin miners ever produced. The Nerdaxe Gamma puts that chip on a compact, Wi-Fi-enabled board that costs roughly $3 per month in electricity at the U.S. average rate of $0.16/kWh. That makes it practical to run 24/7 on any desk, shelf, or nightstand without impacting your electric bill.

Choose the Bitaxe Gamma 602 if you want the lowest entry price for the same 1.2 TH/s hashrate. Both are excellent first miners. Solo Mining vs. Pool Mining with the Nerdaxe Gamma The Nerdaxe Gamma supports both solo mining and pool mining. In solo mining mode, you compete independently for the full 3.125 BTC block reward plus transaction fees. The odds for a single 1.2 TH/s miner are long, but confirmed block wins by home miners prove it happens. Use the Solo Satoshi mining calculator to see your exact probability and estimated daily pool earnings. In pool mining mode, the Nerdaxe Gamma contributes its hashrate to a pool and earns proportional payouts. As of February 2026, expected yield is approximately $0.06 per day per TH/s before pool fees. Open-Source Hardware and Firmware The Nerdaxe Gamma is 100% open-source. All hardware schematics are published on GitHub, and the firmware is a community-maintained fork of ESP-Miner originally developed by Bitaxe developers. Through the AxeOS web interface, you can adjust core voltage, clock frequency, fan speed, and pool settings from any browser on your local network. This means you are not locked into a proprietary ecosystem. You can update firmware yourself or directly contribute to the codebase. What the Nerdaxe Gamma Display Shows The 1.9″ LilyGO IPS color LCD is what sets the Nerdaxe apart from standard Bitaxe miners. The display cycles through multiple screens with the push of a button: Mining screen – live hashrate, ASIC temperature, efficiency (J/TH), best difficulty, and power draw. Bitcoin price screen – current BTC/USD price updated in real time. Network screen – Bitcoin network difficulty, block height, and transaction fee data. Settings screen – pool connection status, IP address, and share statistics. This makes the Nerdaxe Gamma a functional desk piece that keeps you connected to the Bitcoin network at a glance, without needing to check a phone or computer. Real Miners. Real Block Wins. A Solo Satoshi customer has won over $342,000 in confirmed Bitcoin block rewards using an open-source miner purchased from our store.

The Nerdaxe Gamma is a compact, open-source Bitcoin solo miner and a fork of the Bitaxe project, created by BitMaker and Bitronics. It is built around a single Bitmain BM1370 ASIC chip, producing approximately 1.2 TH/s of SHA-256 hashrate on roughly 18 watts of power. A 1.9" color IPS LCD displays live mining stats, Bitcoin price, and network data. It connects to your home Wi-Fi and mines Bitcoin directly to your own wallet.What ASIC chip does the Nerdaxe Gamma use? The Nerdaxe Gamma uses the Bitmain BM1370, the same ASIC die found in Bitmain's Antminer S21 Pro. This chip delivers industrial-grade efficiency at approximately 15 J/TH, making it one of the most power-efficient ASIC designs available in any form factor.What does the Nerdaxe Gamma display show? The 1.9" LilyGO IPS color LCD cycles through multiple screens automatically. The mining screen shows live hashrate, ASIC temperature, efficiency in J/TH, best difficulty, and power consumption. Additional screens display the current Bitcoin price, network difficulty, block height, mempool size, pool connection status, and share statistics.How much does the Nerdaxe Gamma cost to run? The Nerdaxe Gamma draws approximately 18 watts at stock settings. At the U.S. average electricity rate of $0.16/kWh, that works out to roughly $2.07 per month or about $0.07 per day. It is designed to run 24/7 without meaningfully impacting your electric bill.How do I set up the Nerdaxe Gamma? Plug the included 5V/6A power supply into the barrel jack. Connect to the miner's Wi-Fi access point from any phone or computer, open the AxeOS web interface in your browser, and enter your home Wi-Fi credentials. Then add your solo mining pool URL and Bitcoin wallet address, save, and restart. Mining starts automatically. The entire process takes under five minutes.Can I overclock the Nerdaxe Gamma? Yes. The open-source AxeOS firmware gives you full control over core voltage (adjustable from 0.68 V to 1.10 V) and clock frequency through the browser-based interface. Overclocking pushes hashrate above the stock 1.2 TH/s but increases power draw and heat output. A copper heatsink upgrade and quality thermal paste are recommended for sustained overclocked operation.What is the difference between the Nerdaxe Gamma and the Bitaxe Gamma 602? Both miners use a single BM1370 ASIC chip producing approximately 1.2 TH/s at similar efficiency. The Nerdaxe Gamma includes a 1.9" color IPS display that cycles through mining stats and Bitcoin price without needing a browser. The Bitaxe Gamma 602 has no built-in display and is monitored entirely through the AxeOS web interface. The Nerdaxe Gamma has a larger footprint at 90 x 120 x 40 mm compared to the Bitaxe Gamma's more compact PCB design, and uses a 5V DC barrel connector for power while the Bitaxe Gamma uses USB-C.What mining pools work with the Nerdaxe Gamma? The Nerdaxe Gamma is compatible with any Stratum-based mining pool. For solo mining, popular choices include Public Pool (self-hosted via Umbrel), CKPool Solo, and Parasite Pool. For pool mining with regular sats payouts, Ocean and Braiins are widely used. You configure your pool URL and port directly in the AxeOS web interface.Is the Nerdaxe Gamma profitable? The Nerdaxe Gamma costs approximately $2.07 per month in electricity at the U.S. average rate of $0.16/kWh. In pool mining mode, expected yield is roughly $0.06 per day per TH/s before fees, which does not cover electricity costs at most rates. Most owners mine for education, supporting Bitcoin decentralization, and the solo mining lottery chance at a full 3.125 BTC block reward plus transaction fees. Solo Satoshi customers have documented over $342,000 in confirmed block wins using open-source BM1370-based miners.Is the Nerdaxe Gamma worth it? The Nerdaxe Gamma is worth it if your goals include learning how Bitcoin mining works, supporting network decentralization, running a solo mining lottery for the full 3.125 BTC block reward, or simply having an interactive Bitcoin desk piece. It will not generate daily profit through pool mining at current difficulty levels. At roughly $2 per month in electricity and a purchase price of $134.99, the financial risk is minimal. Solo Satoshi customers have proven that open-source BM1370-based miners can and do find blocks, with over $342,000 in documented rewards.Does the Nerdaxe Gamma support Ethernet or only Wi-Fi? The Nerdaxe Gamma connects exclusively over 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi using its built-in ESP32-S3 module. There is no Ethernet port. It does not support 5 GHz networks. Most modern routers broadcast both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz signals, so make sure you connect the miner to the 2.4 GHz band during setup.Can I update the firmware on the Nerdaxe Gamma? Yes. The Nerdaxe Gamma runs open-source ESP-Miner firmware that can be updated through the AxeOS web interface or via the online flasher tool. Firmware updates can improve performance, fix bugs, and add features. Solo Satoshi ships every unit pre-flashed with the latest stable firmware at the time of your order.What happens if my Nerdaxe Gamma stops working?
