AxeOS Fundamentals Part 3 starts at the point every Bitaxe owner eventually reaches: getting a new miner from first power-on to its first accepted share without confusing Wi-Fi, pool credentials and the payout address. The sequence is simple when each layer is handled separately. The Bitaxe first creates a temporary local Wi-Fi access point. AxeOS…

AxeOS can make a Bitaxe look simple: open a browser, see a hashrate number and watch the miner work. The dashboard becomes much more useful when its readings are treated as one electrical, thermal, network and mining system rather than isolated numbers. This second fundamentals guide focuses on reading the machine before changing it. New…

AxeOS is not a Bitcoin mining company, a mining pool or a fleet operator. It is the browser-based user interface inside ESP-Miner, the open-source ESP32 firmware that powers Bitaxe-class Bitcoin ASIC miners. That distinction is the starting point for understanding the project. A Bitaxe is the physical miner. ESP-Miner is the embedded firmware controlling the…

Braiins is approaching a September 30 cutoff for free early access to Price Adapt, a Braiins Manager feature that changes Bitcoin miner power targets automatically as electricity prices, hashprice and ASIC efficiency move through the day. The feature goes beyond binary curtailment. According to the company’s technical explanation, supported Braiins OS machines can be overclocked,…

Quantum Blockchain Technologies says its Method C AI Oracle has crossed an important boundary in Bitcoin mining research: from laboratory validation into live testing with hardware and data supplied by an unnamed ASIC manufacturer. Manufacturer data changes the test The company’s September 28 interim results say a mining rig and Mining Development Kit arrived in…

Roughly 235 EH/s of Bitcoin ASIC capacity is sitting outside active network production, according to Luxor’s August hashrate analysis. That sidelined hardware is large enough to matter as Texas miners approach the end of the summer transmission-charge season and operators reassess whether older machines can profitably return. The figure should not be read as 235…

Authorities in Puebla, Mexico, seized a hidden cryptocurrency-mining operation after finding roughly 300 specialized GPUs, about 80 medium-voltage terminals, a transformer and eight satellite internet antennas operating in a remote mountain community. The raid turns an energy-intensive mining setup into a case study in how stolen electricity, physical infrastructure and digital assets can overlap. 300…

Hut 8 has closed a $1.07 billion four-year senior secured revolving credit facility, giving the former Bitcoin-mining specialist a large pool of parent-level liquidity as it develops power and data-center infrastructure for ASIC compute and artificial intelligence. The September 28 announcement is important for what the facility is—and what it is not. The company says…

The most durable asset created by the Bitcoin mining boom may not be an ASIC at all. It may be the energized land, substations and grid access surrounding it. A new Reuters Breakingviews analysis says the widening AI power shortage is putting a premium on exactly the infrastructure miners spent years assembling. The scarce asset…

Starcloud is adding a Bitcoin-mining experiment to the orbital-compute race. ASICs are planned for Starcloud-2 Starcloud co-founder and CEO Philip Johnston said the company plans to place Bitcoin-mining ASICs on Starcloud-2, its next spacecraft, which is expected to launch later in 2026. The disclosure was reported by Tom’s Hardware. Starcloud’s public mission is orbital data-center…
