FAQs

What is the primary function of the Bitaxe Gamma?

It is a compact, open-source solo Bitcoin miner that uses a BM1370 ASIC chip to hash at 1.2 TH/S.

Can I use any USB power adapter with this device?

No, you must use a stable 5V 6A power supply to ensure the device operates correctly and safely.

What does 'solo miner' mean?

A solo miner attempts to find a block on the Bitcoin network independently, meaning if successful, the entire block reward is yours, but success is statistically infrequent.

Is the Bitaxe Gamma loud?

The device is designed for desktop use and is generally quiet, though it does feature active cooling that may produce a low humming sound.

Where can I find the open-source software updates?

Updates and firmware are provided through the official open-source repository associated with the Bitaxe project.

Troubleshooting

Device is not mining at full hash rate

Verify that your power supply is outputting a consistent 5V 6A and check that the unit is not overheating.

Color display is blank or unresponsive

Check the power connection to the unit and perform a power cycle by disconnecting the cable for 10 seconds before plugging it back in.

Device fails to connect to the network

Check your local router settings and ensure the configuration parameters for your mining pool or solo address are correctly entered in the software interface.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin, ensure you have a stable 5V 6A power supply, as the device is sensitive to power input variations. Connect the power supply to the dedicated port on the unit. For initial network configuration, follow the manufacturer's open-source documentation to interface the device with your local network via the standard setup protocol. To maintain the device, keep the intake and exhaust vents clear of dust and debris using compressed air. Avoid running the device in enclosed cabinets where heat can build up, and keep it on a flat, non-flammable surface during extended use.
