Bitaxe 601 Gamma

The Bitaxe 601 Gamma represents the latest development in the Bitaxe series of single-ASIC-chip open-source Bitcoin miners, focused on efficiency, performance, and open-source development. Released in August 2024, the Gamma marks a significant step forward in the democratization and decentralization of Bitcoin mining, offering high performance with very low power consumption while staying true to the open-source development ethos. This model appeals not only to solo miners but also to those interested in contributing to the decentralized Bitcoin mining ecosystem with efficient open-source hardware.

Key Features:

• Powerful BM1370 ASIC chip (the same chip as in the latest Bitmain Antminer S21Pro).

• Impressive hashrate of over 1.2 TH/s (additional cooling required to reach this hashrate!), doubling the performance of its predecessor, the Bitaxe Supra!

• Outstanding efficiency of 15 W/TH, highlighting the device’s energy efficiency.

• Compact design.

• Built-in Wi-Fi for wireless internet connection.

• User-friendly interface with a removable OLED display (the display is plug-in and not soldered—this is a feature, not a bug!).

• Open-source firmware for flexible customization and future development.

• 5V dual ball-bearing fan (40x40x20mm). Optionally available with a Noctua fan for quiet operation.

• 30W (5V/6A) high-end power supply included.

• We include our minimalist, free-floating mount with the Bitaxe Gamma at no extra cost!

• USB-C port for firmware updates.

The Bitaxe 601 Gamma offers everything that made its predecessors so popular and takes it a step further. With its advanced BM1370 ASIC chip, this miner delivers an impressive hashrate of 1.2 TH/s (even higher performance can be achieved through overclocking with appropriate cooling!) and enables powerful mining in a compact form. Despite its enhanced performance, this chip is renowned for its incredible efficiency (Bitmain rates it at 15 J/TH), helping you optimize your mining activities. Enthusiasts who want to push the limits can use cooling devices such as the Argon THRML Cooler (not included!) to overclock the device for higher hashrates while keeping noise levels low.

If you’re interested in solo mining, the Bitaxe 601 Gamma is an excellent choice, aligning with the ethos of decentralization in Bitcoin mining. With solo mining on the 601 Gamma, a block would be found approximately every 75 days (as of September 2024), assuming 50,000 devices are deployed globally, highlighting its potential to enhance network security and decentralization.

Setting up and managing your Bitaxe 601 Gamma is a breeze, thanks to the provided step-by-step guide, integrated Wi-Fi, and user-friendly interface. The Bitaxe 601 Gamma features an ESP32-S3 microcontroller for Wi-Fi connectivity, enabling user-friendly control via a web interface or direct Wi-Fi connection. The integrated and removable OLED display provides real-time information on mining status, hashrate, and other key metrics, keeping you informed at all times.

Staying true to the Bitaxe philosophy, the 601 Gamma offers open-source firmware, allowing tech-savvy users to customize and optimize their mining experience. Join a vibrant community of developers and enthusiasts working together to push the boundaries of Bitcoin mining. There’s a lot of excitement in the Bitcoin mining community about the Bitaxe 601 Gamma, especially for its performance, efficiency, and the open-source nature of the project, which encourages innovation and community-driven improvements.

The Bitaxe 601 Gamma provides an accessible and affordable entry point. Its compact size makes it ideal for use at home, in the office, or on the go, enabling you to mine wherever life takes you.
