What Can a Bitaxe Mine? 15 Coins Checked, from Bitcoin to Dogecoin

A Bitaxe can mine Bitcoin and every other coin that uses the same proof of work, SHA-256d. In practice that means Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin SV, eCash and the SHA-256 share of DigiByte. It cannot mine Dogecoin, Litecoin, Monero, Kaspa, Zcash, Ravencoin or Ethereum Classic, and nobody mines Ethereum any more. The reason sits under the heatsink: the chip is an ASIC that computes one algorithm in hardware and nothing else. A firmware update, a different pool or a different wallet address does not change that.

The same holds for every other ASIC miner in our range, from the NerdAxe Gamma to the eight-chip NerdOctaxe, and for the Avalon Nano 3s. The NerdMiner V2 Pro is the odd one out: it has no ASIC at all and computes SHA-256d on its ESP32 microcontroller, which opens a few doors and closes most others.

This guide explains why, lists which coins work and which do not, compares the odds on the smaller SHA-256 chains with network data from 3 October 2026, and walks through the settings you change if you want to point your miner somewhere else. Questions like "can a Bitaxe mine Dogecoin" and "can a NerdMiner mine other coins" come up again and again in searches, so here is the complete answer in one place.

The short answer: SHA-256 coins only

Every proof-of-work coin defines a puzzle that miners solve by hashing. Bitcoin's puzzle is SHA-256 applied twice to the block header, usually written SHA-256d. A Bitaxe solves exactly that puzzle and no other, so the question "can it mine coin X" reduces to "does coin X use SHA-256d".

If a coin is not in a SHA-256d row, no setting will make a Bitaxe mine it. If it is, the miner does exactly the same work it does on Bitcoin. Only the pool address and the payout address change.

Why a Bitaxe can only mine SHA-256 coins

Mining is a search. A miner takes a candidate block header of 80 bytes, hashes it, and checks whether the result is a number below the current target. If not, it changes a few bytes, usually the nonce, and tries again. On Bitcoin the hash is SHA-256 computed twice in a row. A Bitaxe Gamma runs this loop about 1.3 trillion times per second, which is what its rating of 1.3 TH/s means.

What the chip under the heatsink does

The Bitaxe Gamma carries one BM1370, the Bitcoin mining chip that Bitmain also uses in its Antminer S21 Pro. The chip computes the rounds of SHA-256 with fixed logic: additions, bit rotations and shifts laid out in silicon when it was designed. There is no general-purpose processor in that path that could be told to do something else. That is what "application-specific integrated circuit" means. The application is fixed at the factory, not chosen by the user.

You can see this in the Bitaxe firmware itself. The job it sends to the chip holds the fields of a Bitcoin block header (version, hash of the previous block, Merkle root, time, difficulty bits and a starting nonce) plus a job number and a midstate count, and nothing else. There is no field for a different algorithm, a different hash function or a memory buffer, because the chip has nowhere to put them.

That specialisation is the whole point. The ESP32 in a NerdMiner also computes SHA-256d, but it reaches 75 KH/s on about 1 W. A Bitaxe Gamma with its BM1370 is rated at 1.3 TH/s on about 17 W. Per watt that is roughly one million times more hashing work, and it is the reason a desk-sized ASIC can take part in Bitcoin mining at all. The price of that efficiency is that the chip knows one algorithm only.

What the firmware can change, and what it cannot

The firmware, AxeOS on a Bitaxe, does not run on the mining chip. It runs on the ESP32-S3 microcontroller next to it. It joins your Wi-Fi, talks to the pool over the Stratum protocol, hands work to the ASIC, sets frequency and core voltage, reads temperatures, drives the fan and shows everything on the dashboard. All of that is control around the chip. None of it adds new circuits to the chip.

So a firmware update can make a Bitaxe faster, quieter or more stable. It cannot teach it Scrypt, RandomX or kHeavyHash, because those algorithms need hardware that a SHA-256 ASIC simply does not contain.

SHA-256 and the alternatives, briefly

SHA-256 is a hash function from the SHA-2 family, standardised by NIST and used far beyond Bitcoin, for example in TLS certificates and software signatures. It needs very little memory, which is why it can be packed into small, fast cores.

Many later coins chose a different proof of work on purpose, so that the hardware already mining Bitcoin, first graphics cards and later ASICs, could not simply take over their networks. Scrypt, used by Litecoin and Dogecoin, was designed as a memory-hard key derivation function: every hash needs a block of memory, which makes a chip bigger and more expensive. RandomX, used by Monero, goes further and runs randomly generated programs that suit an ordinary CPU best. Each of these choices leads to different hardware, and none of it overlaps with a Bitaxe.

From CPUs to ASICs: how mining hardware narrowed down

The link between one algorithm and one chip did not exist at the start. In 2009 Bitcoin was mined on the processors of ordinary computers, which can run any algorithm you give them. Around 2010 miners moved to graphics cards, whose many small cores compute SHA-256 in parallel far faster than a CPU. FPGAs, chips that can be rewired by loading a new configuration, followed for a short time.

In early 2013 the first Bitcoin ASICs shipped, among them the Avalon machines from Canaan, the company that also makes the Avalon Nano 3s today. Within months, CPUs and graphics cards had no realistic chance on Bitcoin any more. Every step multiplied the hashes per watt, and the last one, the ASIC, tied the hardware to a single algorithm. A graphics card mines dozens of algorithms. An ASIC mines one.

The Bitaxe is the latest chapter of that story with a twist. It uses the same kind of industrial chips as a mining farm, but puts one or a few of them on a small open-source board, with a firmware anyone can read. You get the efficiency of an ASIC at home, and with it the ASIC's one rule: SHA-256d or nothing.

Every coin a Bitaxe can mine

A Bitaxe can work on any chain whose proof of work is SHA-256d over a Bitcoin-style block header. Most of these chains are forks of Bitcoin itself, so they share its block format and the Stratum protocol that pools use to hand out work. The chip does not know which chain it is working on. It hashes whatever header the pool sends. The project's own description says as much: a Bitaxe can mine to any Stratum pool, solo or as a lottery miner.

Bitcoin

Bitcoin is the original and by far the largest SHA-256 network. On 3 October 2026 its difficulty stood at about 132.7 trillion, which corresponds to a network hashrate of about 950 EH/s, and every block paid a subsidy of 3.125 BTC plus transaction fees. The subsidy halves every 210,000 blocks, the last time on 20 April 2024 at block 840,000. The difficulty adjusts every 2,016 blocks, roughly every two weeks, so that a block arrives every ten minutes on average. Bitaxe, NerdAxe and NerdQAxe firmware comes preset for Bitcoin pools, and the solo mining guide explains what Bitcoin mining means for your odds.

Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin SV

Bitcoin Cash split from Bitcoin on 1 August 2017, after a long dispute over block size. Bitcoin SV split from Bitcoin Cash on 15 November 2018. Both kept SHA-256d, the ten-minute block target and the halving schedule, so both pay 3.125 coins per block since their own halvings at block 840,000 in April 2024.

The main difference for a small miner is how difficulty reacts. Bitcoin Cash recalculates it after every single block with an algorithm called ASERT, in use since 15 November 2020: for every two days the chain runs ahead of schedule, the difficulty doubles. Bitcoin SV also adjusts with every block, using a window of the last 144 blocks. When large miners switch their machines onto one of these chains for a few hours, blocks speed up for a while, and the difficulty starts to react with the next block instead of after up to two weeks as on Bitcoin.

eCash

eCash began as another split from Bitcoin Cash on 15 November 2020 and took its current name on 1 July 2021. It still uses SHA-256d, but adds a layer called Avalanche on top, and its rules ask more of a pool than Bitcoin's do. The pool's node has to run Avalanche, and the block reward is shared: on 3 October 2026 the miner received about 58 percent of the subsidy, while the rest went to a development fund and to stakers. Since November 2024 eCash also raises the difficulty for blocks that follow each other unusually fast. A Bitaxe can mine eCash, but only through a pool that has set all of this up.

DigiByte: SHA-256 is one of five algorithms

DigiByte runs five proof-of-work algorithms side by side: SHA-256d, Scrypt, Skein, Qubit and Odocrypt. Each algorithm has its own difficulty, which adjusts with every block, and the chain targets a block every 15 seconds across all five, so about one SHA-256 block every 75 seconds. A Bitaxe competes only with other SHA-256 miners on DigiByte. The SHA-256 difficulty can swing a lot: on 3 October 2026 it moved by a factor of more than three within 97 minutes.

Peercoin

Peercoin, launched in 2012, combines SHA-256d proof of work with proof of stake. Its documentation states plainly that any hardware able to mine Bitcoin can mine Peercoin, and just as plainly that its network hashrate is too high to expect solo mining to work.

Merged mining: Namecoin and friends

Some chains let Bitcoin miners secure them as a by-product. With merged mining, also called AuxPoW, a pool places a reference to the second chain's block into the Bitcoin block it is working on, and a hash that is good enough for that second chain counts there as well. Namecoin, the first fork of Bitcoin, put merged mining into production in October 2011. Syscoin is merge-mined with Bitcoin as well, and Fractal Bitcoin, a SHA-256d chain with 30-second blocks, merge-mines part of its blocks. Several of the largest Bitcoin pools carry merged-mining tags in their blocks.

For the miner nothing changes. The ASIC hashes the same headers as before, because the pool builds the block and its coinbase. Whether you receive anything from the second chain depends entirely on the pool: it has to support merged mining and pay those coins out. As far as their software and their blocks show, the solo pools that most home miners use pay Bitcoin only.

Bitcoin's test networks

Bitcoin also runs public test networks, testnet and signet, where developers try out software without real money at stake. Testnet uses the same SHA-256d proof of work, so a Bitaxe pointed at a testnet pool or at a test node with pool software mines test coins. Those coins are meant to have no value, which makes testnet a good sandbox for anyone building their own pool setup, and a poor place to look for a reward. Signet works differently: a block there needs a signature from the network's operators, so a miner alone cannot produce one.

Coins a Bitaxe cannot mine, and why

Most of the coins people ask about in connection with a Bitaxe use a different proof of work. Here is what each of them needs instead.

Litecoin and Dogecoin: Scrypt

Litecoin started in October 2011 with Scrypt instead of SHA-256d. Dogecoin followed in December 2013 and has been merge-mined with Litecoin since block 371,337 in September 2014, so a Scrypt miner usually earns both coins at once. To mine either of them in practice you need a Scrypt ASIC, which is a different chip with a different design. There is no Bitaxe firmware for Dogecoin, and there cannot be one.

Merged mining does not help here either. It only works between chains with the same proof of work, and Dogecoin's partner is Litecoin, not Bitcoin. A SHA-256 miner can never earn Dogecoin as a by-product.

Monero: RandomX

Monero has used RandomX since 30 November 2019. RandomX makes each miner execute randomly generated code and leans heavily on memory, which favours ordinary desktop CPUs. The Monero project says openly that the goal is to discourage specialised hardware like ASICs, and a SHA-256 ASIC has none of the parts RandomX requires.

Kaspa, Zcash, Ravencoin and Ethereum Classic

Kaspa uses kHeavyHash, built on the Keccak hash with a matrix step in between. Zcash uses Equihash, a memory-hard algorithm. Ravencoin has used KawPoW since May 2020, and Ethereum Classic switched to Etchash in November 2020. Some of these coins have their own ASICs today, others are mined with graphics cards. All of them are separate hardware worlds, and none of them shares a single circuit with a Bitaxe.

Ethereum: nothing left to mine

Ethereum switched from proof of work to proof of stake on 15 September 2022, an upgrade known as the Merge. Since then no hardware of any kind mines Ethereum. Blocks are proposed by validators who have staked ether.

Does this apply to NerdAxe, NerdQAxe++, NerdOctaxe and Avalon Nano 3s?

Yes. Every ASIC miner we sell uses SHA-256d chips. Several of them use the same BM1370 as the Bitaxe Gamma, only more of them on one board. More chips mean more hashes per second, but the algorithm stays the same, so the coin list above applies unchanged.

The firmware differs between families. The Bitaxe runs AxeOS from the open-source ESP-Miner project. The NerdAxe Gamma, NerdAxe Gaia, NerdQAxe++ and NerdOctaxe run their own branch of the same ESP-Miner code with a modified AxeOS dashboard, the NerdAxe Gaia Pro runs NerdOS, and the Avalon Nano 3s has the manufacturer's own software. All of them let you enter a pool address, a port and a user name, and that is all a SHA-256d altcoin needs.

What a NerdMiner can mine

The NerdMiner is a different kind of device. It has no mining chip. Its ESP32 microcontroller computes SHA-256d itself: one task uses the small SHA accelerator built into the ESP32, a second task computes SHA-256 in software on the other processor core. Together they reach about 75 KH/s on roughly 1 W. The official firmware comes from the open-source NerdMiner project, whose stated aim is to let you try to reach a Bitcoin block with a small piece of hardware and to learn how mining works along the way. Seventy-five thousand hashes per second is about seventeen million times less than a Bitaxe Gamma. The NerdMiner is a lottery ticket with a display, and above all a friendly way to watch Bitcoin mining happen on your desk. The NerdMiner vs Bitaxe comparison shows where each one fits.

Its screen shows the same mechanics a big miner goes through. It counts the block templates the pool sends, the accepted shares with at least 32 leading zero bits (shown as 32Bits shares), and its best difficulty: the highest-scoring hash it has found so far. A block needs a hash whose difficulty reaches the current network difficulty, and the gap between the two numbers is the most honest illustration of solo mining there is. The NerdMiner setup guide explains each value on the display, and the page on NerdMiner pool settings covers the pool side.

Could it work for another coin? In theory a pool for another SHA-256d coin could accept its work, if the pool allows the extremely low share difficulty a NerdMiner produces; many pools do not, and the NerdMiner project itself names well-known Bitcoin pools that cannot see it for that reason. The firmware also stays a Bitcoin device in every other respect: its screen shows the Bitcoin price, block height and network hashrate, whichever pool it is pointed at.

Because the ESP32 is a general-purpose chip, people have also written entirely different firmware for it. An unofficial fork of the NerdMiner code contains a proof of concept for Scrypt, and its own author describes finding a Litecoin or Dogecoin block with it as statistically improbable, because Scrypt runs far less efficiently on an ESP32 and the network difficulty is high. Duino-Coin, a separate coin that describes itself as centralised, ships official miner code for ESP32 boards with an algorithm of its own. Both mean replacing the NerdMiner firmware completely. We ship and support the NerdMiner with its official Bitcoin firmware, and that is also where it makes the most sense.

Better odds on a smaller SHA-256 chain?

Because a Bitaxe can mine Bitcoin Cash or DigiByte, a tempting idea comes up again and again: on a smaller network, a home miner competes with fewer machines, so a block should come much sooner. That part is true. The table shows the expected time to a block for three of our miners on each chain, calculated from the difficulty on 3 October 2026.

The expected time is the network difficulty multiplied by 2 to the power of 32, divided by your hashrate. It is an average, not an appointment: a block can come on the first day or not at all. For eCash the values are a lower limit, because its extra rule for fast blocks makes some blocks harder than the difficulty suggests. On all chains except Bitcoin the difficulty changes with every block, so these numbers drift by the hour.

Here is the calculation for the Bitaxe Gamma on Bitcoin, so you can repeat it for any other miner. On 3 October 2026 the Bitcoin difficulty was about 132.7 trillion. Multiplied by 2 to the power of 32, that gives about 570 sextillion hashes that the whole network needs on average for one block. A Bitaxe Gamma tries 1.3 trillion hashes per second, so on its own it would need about 438 billion seconds, or 13,894 years. Turned around, the chance that it finds any particular block is its share of the network hashrate, about 1 in 731 million, and its chance on a given day is about 1 in 5 million, because a day brings roughly 144 Bitcoin blocks.

Every solo attempt is independent of the ones before. A miner that has run for a year without a block has exactly the same chance tomorrow as a miner switched on today. Nothing accumulates, and nothing is "due". That is true on every chain in the table, which is why a smaller chain changes how often you can expect a win, but not the nature of the game.

What the table does not show is the size of the prize. A smaller network is smaller for a reason: its coin is worth a fraction of a bitcoin. On 3 October 2026 the subsidy of one Bitcoin block was worth about 270 times the subsidy of a Bitcoin Cash block, about 4,300 times a Bitcoin SV block, more than 10,000 times an eCash block and roughly 245,000 times a DigiByte block, based on that day's market prices. When we multiplied each chain's odds by the value of its block, the expected yearly value for a Bitaxe Gamma came out within about a quarter of each other on all five chains. A likely reason is that large miners point their machines wherever a terahash earns the most, which keeps the chains close together. For a home miner, switching chains therefore does not create free money. It trades a very rare large prize for a less rare, much smaller one.

There are a few practical points on top. Fewer pools serve the small chains, and not all of them accept solo miners. A payout on a small chain may be harder to move or spend. And the security of a small network depends on fewer miners, so a few large operators can dominate it. If you like the idea of a lottery, the Bitcoin lottery is still the biggest one there is, and the lottery and solo miner overview explains how home miners play it.

Solo or shared pool: what a small miner actually earns

Everything above assumes solo mining, where your miner either finds a whole block or nothing. The alternative is a shared pool, where thousands of miners combine their hashrate and the pool pays each of them in proportion to the work they submitted, either per share or as a part of every block it finds, depending on the pool. A Bitaxe works in any shared SHA-256d pool that accepts small miners, and the settings are the same: host, port and your address or account name as Stratum user.

The payouts show why most home miners still prefer the lottery. On average the whole Bitcoin network earns about 144 blocks a day, each with 3.125 BTC of subsidy plus fees. A miner's expected share is its share of the network hashrate. With about 950 EH/s on 3 October 2026, a Bitaxe Gamma at 1.3 TH/s earns on average about 62 satoshis a day from the subsidy, before pool fees, and a NerdOctaxe at 12 TH/s about 570. One satoshi is a hundred-millionth of a bitcoin. Many pools also set a minimum before they pay out, so a single small miner can wait a long time for its first transfer.

That is not a business, and it is not meant to be. A shared pool turns a home miner into a slow, steady trickle of satoshis. Solo mining turns it into a ticket for a full block. Both are honest choices, and both work on the same hardware. What does not change is the coin: in either mode, a Bitaxe mines SHA-256d.

How to point a Bitaxe at a different SHA-256 coin

If you want to try anyway, the change takes two minutes, and you can switch back the same way. The steps below use AxeOS, where the fields are called Stratum Host, Stratum Port, User and Password. Other firmwares use similar fields, and the setup guides show where they are.

1. Pick a pool that serves the coin you want to mine and accepts small miners. Note its Stratum host name and port. For eCash, make sure the pool runs an Avalanche node, or its blocks will be rejected.
2. Create a receiving address on that coin's own network, in a wallet that supports it. Bitcoin Cash addresses in the current format usually start with bitcoincash:q, eCash addresses with ecash:q. Some pools want the address without that prefix, so read the pool's instructions.
3. Open the dashboard of your miner in the browser by entering its IP address, as described in the Bitaxe setup guide, and go to the pool settings.
4. Enter the Stratum host, the port and, in the User field, your new address, optionally followed by a dot and a worker name. Most pools accept any password, often a single x. AxeOS also has a fallback pool, which you should set to the same coin.
5. Save, let the miner restart and watch the dashboard. Accepted shares within a few minutes mean the pool is receiving your work.

Three warnings save a lot of trouble. First, a pool for Bitcoin Cash pays Bitcoin Cash, never bitcoin, and an address from the wrong network can mean that a reward is lost or needs special wallet software to recover. Old addresses starting with 1 look exactly the same on Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash, which is why careful pools refuse Bitcoin-style addresses outright. Second, a block reward arrives in a special coinbase transaction that can only be spent after another 100 blocks, so send it to an address in a wallet you control rather than to an exchange account. Third, newer firmware for the NerdAxe and NerdQAxe family can check that the pool's block template really pays your address. That check reads Bitcoin address formats only, so leave it switched off on another coin. The setup guides for the NerdAxe and the NerdQAxe++ show where the pool fields sit on those models.

How to check any coin yourself

New coins appear all the time, and some advertise themselves as "Bitaxe compatible" or "made for home miners". Three checks answer the question for any coin, without relying on anyone's marketing.

1. Look up the proof of work in the coin's own documentation, whitepaper or source code, not on a pool's sales page. For a Bitaxe it has to be SHA-256d, sometimes written as double SHA-256, with a block header in the Bitcoin format.
2. Make sure the coin is a real proof-of-work blockchain with its own nodes and its own block explorer, where new blocks come from miners. A token issued on another blockchain cannot be mined with a Bitaxe, whatever an advertisement says.
3. Find at least one pool for the coin that speaks the Stratum protocol and accepts small miners, or run the coin's node with your own pool software. Without one of the two, the miner has no work to do, because it needs someone to build block templates for it.

If a coin passes all three, your miner can work on it. Whether it should is a different question, and the section on odds above gives you the numbers to decide.

A word of caution belongs here too. A Bitaxe needs no app, no account and no deposit to mine. Offers that ask you to send coins first, sell "activation keys" for a miner, or promise a fixed daily income from a home miner have nothing to do with how mining works. Real solo mining pays nothing at all until your miner finds a block, and then it pays the block reward, minus the pool's fee if it charges one, to the address you entered.

Six myths about home miners and other coins

"The right firmware lets a Bitaxe mine Dogecoin." It does not. Firmware runs on the microcontroller, the hashing happens in the ASIC, and the ASIC knows SHA-256d only.

"Dogecoin is a SHA-256 coin." It is a Scrypt coin and always has been. Some marketplace listings add to the confusion by naming SHA-256 chips in the titles of Scrypt miners. Check the algorithm, not the listing.

"A NerdMiner mines Bitcoin Cash just like a Bitaxe." The ESP32 NerdMiner is not an ASIC miner. Its firmware is a solo Bitcoin miner, its screen shows Bitcoin data, and its shares are too small for many pools. Multi-chip ASIC miners such as the NerdQAxe++ can work on Bitcoin Cash, but that comes from their chips, not from a similar name.

"Mining another coin wears the miner out." The work is identical: the same hashes at the same frequency, voltage and temperature. A Bitaxe on Bitcoin Cash draws the same power and makes the same heat as on Bitcoin.

"With my Bitcoin address on a Bitcoin Cash pool, I get bitcoin." You do not. A pool pays in the coin of the chain it mines. With the wrong address type, the reward can be lost or stuck in a wallet that cannot see it.

"Merged mining means double rewards automatically." Only if your pool supports merged mining and pays out the second coin. The solo pools most home miners use pay Bitcoin and nothing else, as far as their software and their blocks show.

Why Bitcoin remains the natural choice for home miners

Open-source home miners are built and preset for Bitcoin, and there are good reasons beyond habit to keep them there. Bitcoin is the largest and most secure SHA-256 network, its block reward is by far the most valuable, and a home miner on a solo Bitcoin pool helps keep the hashrate spread across many independent people instead of a few large pools. The Bitaxe itself is part of that idea: an open-source miner whose schematics and firmware are public, made for solo and lottery mining at home rather than for industrial halls.

There is also a practical argument. Software, guides and help for home miners are written with Bitcoin in mind. The firmware is built around Bitcoin, with Bitcoin pools in its examples and payout checks that read Bitcoin addresses, the best-known solo pools for home miners are Bitcoin pools, and every question you might have about shares, best difficulty or pool settings has been answered many times for Bitcoin. On a small chain you are often on your own.

If you go one step further, you can mine to a pool running on your own node. A LiquidBox Bitcoin full node validates every block itself, and the guide on running your own node explains what that gives you.

If you are still choosing a miner, the buying guide to the best Bitcoin miners for home and the side-by-side comparison show hashrate, power and efficiency of every model. Whatever you pick from the Bitaxe or NerdAxe ranges, every miner we ship is checked before it leaves our warehouse, and Bitcoin is the job it was built for.
