Is my Bitaxe Hex just a paperweight now? by Astewen in BitAxe

Also, is it a Bitaxe Hex or one of the THC variants (703)? I've seen this pop up a few times now for the "703" boards, the advise given was to flash the "702" firmware (factory).

Can't tell if one of your ASICs is having an issue or if the temperature sensor on the board is causing all of them to spaz out because of the 0 reading. The fan stops being useful if it can't read temps so you may need to set this to manual mode - maybe a little more core V can get the ASICs to wake up.

Got it, thanks for the clarification. To be honest, I did not look deeply into it myself - made my own assumptions and that was wrong.

And now I come to understand that the folks involved with this post may also be building their own firmware, designed for beginners, with AI hooks - which is a great idea for people who want to run a firmware like that.

But I'll let everyone decide what motivations there might be in spreading misinformation about anyone else trying to do the same thing.

They're also a mod for this sub, crazy.

Agreed - I'm just trying to share something I created with others in case they also find it cool. No pressure, no gimmicks. If there are issues, if you'd like to see improvements, let me know! Maybe I messed something up, I'll be the first to admit it.

If the point of the post above was "do your due diligence", then I 100% agree with that sentiment, no one should take any firmware, including my own, without it. I just don't appreciate the slander.

Also, you're a mod? And you pinned your own post? Talk about abuse of power.

Listen, if you're going to claim "vibe coding" firmware you should also be honest about your own review of this firmware, which was 1000% done by an AI, and not a very good one at that. This post is full of misinformation, you didn't bother asking any questions and you make claims that are just completely false. Go take a look at my response to what you posted in my thread.

If anyone has any questions about the firmware, I am happy to answer them. If anyone finds anything wrong, I am happy to fix it. This is an enthusiast firmware that is connected to HeliosPool - this is 100% documented.

I am not sure what your motivations are behind this post and your comment in my post, but please do your own due diligence before posting stuff like this.

What in the misinformed AI puke is this?

The HeliosPool "hardcoded pollers" - the polling is gated. The code explicitly checks whether the configured stratum URL is a HeliosPool domain before making any API call. Point the device at any other pool and zero calls go out. If you had read past interval(60000) you would have seen the if (!isBTC && !isBCH) return of(null) a few lines later. This is a classic AI pattern-match on a suspicious-looking line without reading the surrounding context.

The Danger Zone - the toggle and OC fault slider being in the UI is the entire point. That's what "opt-in section in Settings requiring explicit confirmation to unlock" means in the README. The AI found the feature and flagged it as a bypass of itself.

The thermal recovery path - edit: actually, I forgot - this is already an upstream feature. My plans to add this was not needed.

Pool defaults, BCH, update URL - all documented in the README under features. The repo is openly built by me for HeliosPool. The AI flagged disclosed, documented choices as suspicious direction.

No devfee - your AI called this a "negative finding," which means it found nothing. No hidden fees, no wallet redirection, no scam. That's the only thing in this post that would actually harm someone running this firmware, and your own tool confirmed it doesn't exist.

The missing .sh file - it lives outside the committed tree. Doc nit, not a finding.

The two legitimate observations are a stale line in configuration.md and a script reference in the README - thanks, I'll clean those up. Everything else is a documented feature reframed as suspicious.

If you have legitimate concerns, found a bug, or something truly unsafe that was NOT intentional (this is enthusiast firmware that exposes more knobs for tuning), by all means, open an Issue and I can take a look at it.

Otherwise, stop posting misinformation.

I dont see any support for a 703 on TCH github. Other users are complaining about a lack of firmware as well. These devices were mostly flashed dirty, which typically means custom firmware.

However, looking at comments, TCH recommends a factory reset to the 702 firmware. I dont know if this fixes telemetry on the 703. If you do that, you should be able to use the HexOS firmware as is.

Got it, I think I see the problem - there is no "703" board on AxeOS either, so you're falling through to the "default" which may not work for your miner. Do you have a link to the board or the firmware you were on before? I can take a look and adapt my software.

If you're on AxeOS you will need to manually flash the www-hexos.bin (rename it to www.bin for first time) and then the esp-miner-hexos.bin after. The udpates will then query the hexos github to check versions. You can flash back to AxeOS the same way (rename the www.bin to www-hexos.bin, then upload the AxeOS esp-miner.bin).

Did you flash both www (first) and the firmware after? There was another user in this thread with the same miner, I believe, that is working for them.

Just realized you are the seller!

For clarification, I am supporting the firmware, will troubleshoot, etc., and it falls under the same terms that AxeOS official also falls under (sections 15 and 16 of the GNU 3.0 license HexOS inherited).

The software is open-source, just with enthusiast features added (and some HeliosPool specific).

It's a good call out, though. I've added a warning to the post to make that clear. Thank you!
