Hey everyone, are there any home mining fans who are still stacking sats with compact ASICs?
I've been trying out a few small rigs lately Bitaxe Gamma, Avalon Nano 3S, Avalon Mini3, and most recently the NerdQaxe++. These are all made for quiet and efficient mining at home, no need for a warehouse or a soundproof bunker.
The NerdQaxe++ really impressed me: it’s got a stable 4.8TH/s, pulls about 80W, performs well thermally, and the open-source firmware is super easy to customize. I set it up in under half an hour, and it’s been running continuously for a month now.
The Avalon Nano 3S is quieter, but it doesn’t pack as much power, while the Bitaxe Gamma is awesome for those who like to tinker with DIY setups and open-source hardware.
I’m curious what everyone else is using these days has anyone had a long-term experience with the Nano 3S or Mini3? How’s the stability, hashrate, and profitability holding up?
Would be great to hear about your setups, what’s working for you and what’s not. Home mining might not be super profitable anymore, but it’s still a blast to be part of the network and see those sats coming in.
Feel free to share your miner setup below!

Im running a single board S19J pro with a modified APW12 to run on 110V. I have it set now to low power mode of about 25-28TH. Its currently running outside in Phoenix AZ weather in an outdoor storage container and hashing like a champ

like this one?
this is an s19 xp 1 board with a Loki chip and a custom case for it.
also uses the bitmain apw 3+ psu
This is not the right photo
Do you have picture of your setup?
I am a new Bitcoin miner I wouldn't say I am a fan yet. I am mining on a app on my phone
Um, you should know that one cannot 'mine' BTC using an app on a phone. ALL such apps are either outright scams and/or often spyware/malware.

And you cook soup on AAA batteries. Nothing will come of it, but at least you can say you're a chef and use the latest technology
mining Bitcoin which will never leave your phone

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. Its built like a GPU rig but runs SHA256 and yes, its 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?
Lets 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

Got Picture of the board and where did you get it, price...

Its coming
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.
taking forever to hit the block

i change layout.
Each Bitaxe has its own power supply.
A single one gave problems even when oversized.
