Bitaxe is a fully open source hardware Bitcoin ASIC miner design (KiCad files, BOM, gerbers) built around Bitmain's BM1366 SHA256 ASIC and an ESP32-S3 for standalone WiFi mining. This original repository has split into model-specific repos under the bitaxeorg organization, with the Ultra revision verified and actively maintained.

Use cases

  • build my own open source bitcoin asic miner
  • mine bitcoin solo directly to a pool over wifi without a computer
  • order and assemble a low-power home bitcoin miner from gerbers and a BOM
  • experiment with BM1366 ASIC voltage and power autotuning
  • learn open source hardware design for crypto mining
  • fork a bitcoin miner hardware design and customize it

When to choose

  • you want a fully open source, standalone, low-power Bitcoin miner you can build yourself
  • you enjoy electronics projects and can order PCBs and solder SMD parts
  • you want to study or modify open hardware mining designs in KiCad

When to avoid

  • you just want to buy a working miner and not assemble anything
  • you need large-scale or high-hashrate mining
  • you expect plug-and-play consumer hardware with support
