Topic: The bitaxeSupra: Open source Bitcoin miner based on the BM1368 ASIC (Read 792 times)
I have 5x 401’s right now. I’ve had a few of those big 1.2-1.4th but 3 of the 5 hover above 820-850gh and the other 2 are all in the high 700s (780-790). 625MHz and 1250 for voltage.

a picture has appeared on twitter showing the new bitaxeSupra with a mining performance of 1.2 th/s 
unfortunately it is not known which cooling and how the bitaxeSupra has been modified

It’s unlikely that’s the sustained hashrate. In fact, D-Central the company that made this unit says the following;

Beautiful shot! Give it time, it will normalize the hashrate haha, but some of them can maintain 800GH/s. Very impressed with the BM1368 chips so far.

Not the EU but UK shop https://www.thesolomining.co/ should be stocking the Supra soon.
For sale on the site now, due with me this week. March 24, 2024, 11:02:19 AM

Is there a ethernet slot?
Can i use it via wired mode? What about typc C slot?

No, the Bitaxe is wifi-only without significant modifications to the hardware and firmware.

Interesting and waiting for the Hex
Meanwhile we shot with a lot of small miner to the solo pool her
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/lottery-solo-pool-miner-race-on-ckpool-5478927
Please have a look if you have also a small miner and try it in a group, to find a block or compare your bestshare in our solo mining race… post nice photos from the home Mining Equipment
Best regards,
Willi

yeah I have a source altairtech.com
I purchased this case.
https://altairtech.io/product/bitchimney/
but I have a different way to build it with much less parts.
I think I will use an xp board and try to keep it under 40th using 840 watts.
If the build works I will do some sales of the build.
I am waiting on parts.
I want to run it with 4 nuctua fans.
my version will be 900 watt max not 1200 max like the Loki as it is cheaper to make my way.

Altair is awesome. I've got a bitchimney running here with a S19k Pro hashboard and it's been great.
I built an antminer control board replacement called the Bitcrane that a couple people have been using with Loki rigs; https://github.com/skot/bitcrane
The Bitcrane requires a separate computer like a raspberry pi to run the firmware. The fix for that is a version with a raspberry pi compute module on board called the Bitcart; https://github.com/skot/bitcart but that is less far along.
The coolest thing about these control boards, IMO is you can use WiFi and whatever fans you feel like.

I think a 600-900 watt 120volt miner 20-28 watt per th miner would have more traction for buyers then a 1 or 2 chip miner.
You should check out the people making miners with single Antminer hashboards. They're called "Loki Rigs" and are right about at the specs you mention.

I don't get the solo mining thing.
If you think of millions of device you smut simply cut out the hobbyist scenario, there won't be that many eager to run this thing and a node and always look after their configuration and so on. If you want to make it mass produced to put a dent in the hashrate and the large farms share you need people that plug the stuff and press on, and they check on their app how many nanocents they have made per day.
I believe in a future potential for those, probably after the mining business is no longer receiving funds like a novelty and investors start questioning the billions they threw at, so bye bye running on credit, but in a future with those device dominating and solo finding blocks and propagating them, no, this one I is a too much of a far fetched scenario right now.

If you want to pool mine and get nanocents a day, that's totally your option. If you want to solo lottery mine with odds (and prizes) better than state lotteries 24/7, that's also an option. Either way, open source home miners will be quiet, cool, affordable and anonymous. The future is coming right up.

I dunno, claiming that the bitaxe or public-pool can't solve blocks on mainnet (even though they have on testnet) sounds like FUD to me. Maybe you can point me to that discussion? Happy to talk about specific concerns if there are any..
February 19, 2024, 05:47:50 PM
I think these for-profit solo pool operators are incentivized to spread FUD about competitors. Fine, whatever — all the source is out there for you to verify.
hmm, the person in question wrote a truckload of code for the community including Cgminer, you probably use/used some of his work before, he is not spreading fud, and he has a valid reason to deny firmware/hardware that was not proven to solve blocks, as that would have a negative effect on the other PPLNS pool participants, obviously, he seem to be the only person doing so because almost every other pool I tried had no issue with anything that found shares that meet the pool difficulty.
But ya, hopefully, soon somebody will post some screenshots of a block they found using one of these little toys, good luck Skot.

So it is within your vision that these miners would only be used for solo mining? Not that it affects their chances of hitting a block but is it how you imagine them to be treated?
You can see in this very thread that my view on them is the same, they are too small for regular PPLNS or PPS, but good for the individuals who want to take a gamble on hitting a full block.

People obviously can use them however they want. I do think solo mining makes the most sense though. Pooled mining guarantees you will only ever get a small payout.

My questions however, (which have been addressed here but you may have not read them) is the cost of these miners if done at large scale, or at least the consumer price.
As with all electronics, the cost comes down substantially in volume. This includes the ASICs. When we start manufacturing in the 10s or 100s of thousands you’ll see the retail price come down a lot.
Quote
Also, have these miners found any blocks yet? Doing so on the testnet isn't quite all convincing to some people, and that includes one of the solo pools operators in this forum.
Not that I’m aware. That said, nobody knows how many bitaxe have been made, much less if one has solved a block or not. That’s the beauty of decentralization.
My rough rough guess how many bitaxe built is around 3000. Even if they were all solo mining, statistically it’s not surprising a bitaxe hasn’t solved a block yet.

Nonetheless, you doing a great work.
Thanks! It’s not all me. There is a solid crew at OSMU working very hard to bring open source back to Bitcoin mining.
February 18, 2024, 07:22:16 PM
1 million bitaxe is over a 0.5 EH/s. If they’re solo mining (to a decentralized node, as they should be) then a Bitaxe will solve a block every 7 days, on average. We’ll get there, I have no doubts. Home mining unlocks _a lot_ of potential miners that would never touch a 3kW Antminer.
