Desk sized miners that run on the power of a light bulb, connect to your Wi-Fi in minutes and hash straight to your own wallet. No contracts, no cloud, no middleman.
Every miner here is open source, runs on your home Wi-Fi and pays out to your own Bitcoin address. The difference is how much hashrate you want on your desk.
A real Bitcoin miner for the price of a dinner. Tiny odds, real hashes, and the best way to learn how mining works.

Connect the miner to power. It opens its own Wi-Fi network for the first setup.
Open the setup page in your browser, pick your home Wi-Fi and enter your Bitcoin address.
Your miner starts hashing to your own wallet. If it finds a block, the reward is yours alone.

Be your own bank Rated 5.0 out of 5Ich nutze Bitaxe Gamma seit ein paar Tagen bei mir zuhause. Im Alltag schätze ich besonders die Möglichkeit, Takt und Spannung selbst anzupassen und AxeOS direkt im Browser. Bis jetzt keine Reue.
Rated 5.0 out of 5Setup was quick for me. With NerdAxe Gamma, I mainly appreciate the roughly 1.3 TH/s hashrate; having AxeOS directly in the browser was another reason I chose it.

Continue readingA solo miner works on its own block instead of joining a pool. If it finds a block, the full reward goes to your own Bitcoin address. With a small home miner the odds are very low, comparable to a lottery ticket that never expires. People run them to learn, to support a decentralised network and for the thrill. Small miners do find blocks from time to time.
Far less than most people expect. A NerdMiner runs on about 1 watt, a Bitaxe Gamma on about 17 watts and a NerdQAxe++ on about 70 watts. For comparison, a classic light bulb uses 60 watts.
No. You connect the miner to power, open its setup page in a browser, choose your Wi-Fi and enter your Bitcoin address. Our setup guides walk you through every model step by step, and our support answers within 24 hours.

If the words "Bitcoin mining" make you picture a roaring server rack that heats up the room and doubles your electricity bill, that is fair. For years, that was the reality. The open source miners we sell were built for the opposite. A Bitaxe is about the size of your hand, runs as quietly as a phone charger and connects to your home WiFi in a few minutes. You do not need a spare room, a noisy setup or any background in mining to start.
Bitcoin home mining used to mean noisy machines, high electricity bills and hardware that required serious technical knowledge to set up. The open source mining community changed that. Starting with the Nerdminer in 2023 and growing into the Bitaxe, Nerdaxe and NerdQAxe families, it has built a new generation of miners that sit on a desk, connect to home WiFi and run on a fraction of the power of a phone charger.
We were there from the beginning. Nerdminer Store opened shortly after Bitmaker, the creator of the Nerdminer project, released the first version out of Spain. We have been stocking, testing and supporting open source mining hardware in Europe ever since.
What makes this community worth being part of is not just the hardware. It is the idea that the Bitcoin network should be spread across thousands of small miners running in homes, not concentrated in a handful of industrial facilities. Every device we sell is a small contribution to that goal, and we think that matters.
If you are new to all of this, our Bitcoin Mining for Beginners guide explains how it works and which hardware to start with.
