Project Overview
I run a Bitaxe Gamma, a small ASIC miner pointed at a solo pool, and watch it from Home Assistant. It adds a sliver of hashpower to the Bitcoin network and taught me how mining actually works. This page shows its performance and hardware health next to live network stats.
Hardware Specifications
| Metric | Expected | Actual |
|---|---|---|
| Hashrate | 1.12 TH/s | 1.19 TH/s |
| Efficiency | 17.91 J/TH | 16.93 J/TH |
| Power Consumption | — | 20.2W |
| Input Voltage | — | 5.1V |
| ASIC Frequency | — | 550 MHz |
| ASIC Voltage | — | 1.15V |
| Fan Speed | — | 46% (5,237 RPM) |
Why Run a Bitaxe?
I'm running it to help secure the network, learn how mining actually works, and contribute to the Bitcoin blockchain. Plus, there's always the tiny chance of finding a block solo.
What I learned: How ASIC hardware behaves, how difficulty adjustments and block rewards work, and how the network validates transactions.
