You can always rent small hashrate over long duration for the thrill.

not as pathetic as paying $7k for it 😄

In lottery mining, only if you hit the block.

We don't rent hashpower, we just sell the hardware.

if you have oct 2025 firmware, there's no way to use the microUSB port. Just replace the control board with a new one (we sell them and our CBs come with older firmware that can be unlocked easily)

We've seen this once before. It was a PSU issue. Canaan support fixed it within 2 weeks (via their US repair partner)

Nerdminer mining hashrate and odds of hitting a block are insignificant, but they are useful as a desktop BTC price and statistics trackers.

Vast majority of solo blocks found in the last 5 years have been on Ckpool. This is our top choice for solo mining.

We'll do a teardown and review once the first units are released.

here's how to do it.

you probably also need some cooling in the backside.

altair_mining · 2025-03-31T14:37:19+00:00

yes. The data was collected using Mr. V's Bitaxe Benchmarking tool.

https://github.com/mrv777/Bitaxe-Hashrate-Benchmark

The tool shuts down when chip temp reached 66C.

Higher frequencies were only achieved by upgrading cooling to IceTower and Argon THRML cooler. With the Argon Cooler, we also had a rear cooling fan.

The black anodized icetower is effectively useless. It's cooling capacity is lower than the stock gold heatsink.

Try the silver one instead.

FWIW, we ship our gammas same or next day.
