Start9 Server One is back in stock at Solo Satoshi (2TB/16GB and 4TB/32GB configs).

The Server One is officially back in stock at solosatoshi.com. If you've been following the hardware market, you know the AI boom has been wrecking the memory supply chain. RAM and SSD prices spiked hard, and last month we ran into shortages like everyone else.

Good news is we were still able to secure inventory, so both configurations are available right now:

  • 2TB SSD / 16GB RAM - powerful, private, plug and play.
  • 4TB SSD / 32GB RAM - more space and headroom if you plan to run a lot of services.

If you've been on the fence about running your own node, fair warning that with AI data centers buying up memory at this pace, hardware availability and pricing are only getting less predictable. We can't promise how long this batch lasts or what the next one costs.

Happy to answer any questions!

In light of the Trezor shipping data breach: you can order from us with an alias, a PO Box, and a throwaway email

Hey everyone,

You've probably seen the news that one of Trezor's shipping providers was breached, exposing names, shipping addresses, phone numbers, and emails for thousands of customers. This isn't a dunk on Trezor. Third-party breaches can hit anyone, and their 90-day retention policy genuinely limited the damage, but it's a good moment to remind people that the strongest protection is data that never gets collected in the first place.

A reminder of how we handle this at Solo Satoshi:

  1. Alias names are fine. We don't require your legal name to place an order.

  2. PO Boxes are fine. You don't need to give us (or any shipping partner) your home address.

  3. Use an alias or throwaway email. Creating a new email address is free. A fresh Proton Mail email takes a couple minutes to set up.

  4. Customer service only needs your order number. Not your name, not your ID, nothing else.

If your name, home address, and email are sitting in a database somewhere, they're only as safe as every vendor and shipping partner that touches them. Minimize what you hand over and there's nothing to leak.

Standard reminder that applies no matter whose hardware you use: never type your seed phrase into a website, and never share it with anyone. No legitimate company will ever ask for it. Also be careful clicking suspicious links.

Stay safe out there.

Blockstream Jade back in stock at Solo Satoshi. A quick breakdown of why its entropy and seed generation design matters right now

With everything going on lately around hardware wallet seed generation, a lot of people are asking the right question for the first time: where does my seed phrase actually come from? Your entire wallet security reduces to that one moment of randomness. If entropy is weak or predictable, nothing else the device does can save you.

Here's how Blockstream Jade handles it.

Multiple independent entropy sources, not one chip

Jade gathers randomness from many independent sources: user button and wheel input, CPU counters, battery state, ambient temperature, a boot-time camera image, a hardware random number generator, and entropy from the companion app. No single point of failure. If any one source is somehow weak or compromised, the others still contribute real randomness.

A Bitcoin Core style entropy accumulator

Jade uses an accumulator similar to the design in Bitcoin Core, storing a 32-byte state generated by SHA512 hashing of its previous state along with all the entropy sources above, then feeds the result into the standard BIP39 function to produce your 12 or 24 word phrase. This directly addresses the attack class where attackers grind private keys searching for weakly generated ones, and you can verify it yourself: the implementation is published in random.c on GitHub, documented in the Jade Entropy wiki, and explained in plain English in Blockstream's Help Center.

Don't trust the device at all? Roll dice.

The Jade supports generating a recovery phrase with physical dice or any manual method, so your randomness never depends on any chip. You generate the phrase offline, enter the first 11 or 23 words, and the Jade calculates the valid BIP39 checksum word for you. Maximum sovereignty, zero trust in silicon.

No proprietary secure element to blindly trust

Jade secures your recovery phrase with a blind oracle (a "virtual secure element") instead of a proprietary secure-element chip, so an attacker would have to compromise both the device and the oracle to extract keys. The oracle stores only a PIN hash and a nonce and knows nothing about your addresses, private keys, or actual PIN. You can run Jade fully air-gapped via QR or host your own oracle instance.

Fully open source, top to bottom

Firmware, hardware schematics, and companion app code are all published for public audit. You don't have to take anyone's word on how your seed is generated. Read it, build it, verify it.

Back in stock at Solo Satoshi:

  • Jade Classic, black plastic: $79
  • Jade Plus, black plastic: $149
  • Jade Plus, Lunar Silver metal: $169

All sourced directly from Blockstream, sealed, with same-day shipping. Jade Plus models also support Genuine Check to cryptographically verify your device is authentic hardware.

Bitaxe Gamma Hex Firmware Advisory. Important, Please Read! 🔔

Your Gamma Hex ships ready to mine right out of the box. No firmware update is required to get started.

Please note that the Gamma Hex firmware is not yet available on the Bitaxe webflasher. We ask that you refrain from flashing your Gamma Hex with any other Bitaxe firmware currently listed on the flasher, as those builds are not compatible and will render the device unusable or bricked. Keeping the firmware your device shipped with ensures reliable operation.

Firmware is added to the webflasher once it has been merged into the main branch of ESP-Miner, so the flasher typically lags behind new releases. The Gamma Hex firmware remains fully open source, and the code is available for review here:

Source code: https://github.com/benjamin-wilson/ESP-Miner/tree/gamma-hex

Should you need the factory image or .bin file, it can be downloaded here:

Factory image: https://drive.google.com/file/d/18wZEfCngM5uGVexwzGJdBHozR45CM-TL/view?usp=sharing

The factory image can be flashed through the device UI, the recovery screen, or using the following flashing tool:

Flashing tool: https://esptool.spacehuhn.com/

When important updates are released, they are typically announced through GitHub or the official Bitaxe and OSMU channels, and we recommend monitoring those sources.

Run the Numbers Before you Buy the Hype of the New BM1373 Home Miners.

A new generation of desktop Bitcoin miners built on Bitmain's BM1373 chip is hitting the market, and the marketing deserves scrutiny. Watch for spec sheets that pair the overclocked hashrate with the low-power efficiency number. Those come from two different modes you can't run at the same time. One newer unit advertises 3.2 TH/s and ~11 J/TH in the same headline, but at 3.2 TH/s it actually runs 14.2 J/TH. Its honest stock operating point is 2.1 TH/s at 22W.

These chips are also carrying a heavy first-to-market premium.

So we ran the actual cost of ownership at both devices' stock chip frequencies, using the US median electricity rate of $0.17/kWh (chart attached):

Thor X1 (1× BM1373): 2.1 TH/s, 22W, 10.6 J/TH, $269
2× Bitaxe Gamma (BM1370): 2.4 TH/s, 36W, 15 J/TH, $144

Five-year net cost: $272 for the two Gammas vs $310 for the BM1373 unit. The newer chip's efficiency edge is real, but at residential rates it saves about $18/yr, meaning it takes ~7 years to repay the $125 price premium. Longer than these devices will realistically run, and the Gammas give you more hashrate and open-source firmware.

Neither earns a dime at residential rates. Every home miner is a slow-drip cost, not an income stream. Buy one for the hobby, the education, or the lottery ticket. Just do it with the real numbers, not the headline ones.

Solo Satoshi is carrying the Heatbit Bitair. HEPA air purifier with a 1.2 TH/s solo Bitcoin miner inside, $179.99, shipping September.

Solo Satoshi is now stocking the Heatbit Bitair. Units officially land in September!

The Bitair is Heatbit's smallest device yet. It drops the heating function found in their Trio and Maxi models, shrinks the form factor, and cuts the price substantially. What's left is a True HEPA air purifier with a 1.2 TH/s solo Bitcoin miner in the same chassis, pulling 20 watts total.

Official Specifications

Spec Detail
Hashrate 1.2 TH/s (SHA-256)
Power draw 20W total
Efficiency 16.7 J/TH
Noise 25 to 44 dB
Filtration Multi-stage True HEPA
Particle capture 99.97% at 0.3 microns
Coverage Up to 200 sq ft
Sensors PM2.5, VOC, formaldehyde
Mining modes Solo by default, pool switchable in app
Payouts Solo win or Lightning
Solo odds Roughly 1 in 17,200 per year for a full 3.125 BTC block
Price $179.99 (Heatbit MSRP: $249)
Replacement filter $20
Warranty 12-month Heatbit manufacturer warranty

What it Costs to Run.

20W continuous works out to 0.48 kWh per day, or 175.2 kWh per year running 24/7. At the US average rate of $0.12/kWh that is $1.75 per month, about $21 per year. Texas at $0.15/kWh runs $2.19 per month.

We are NOT Doing Pre-Sales

No deposits, no reservations, no waitlist you pay to join. The product page is live for one reason: the in-stock email. Everyone on that list gets notified at the same moment when September inventory arrives, then it is first come, first served.

Solo or Pool?

Solo mining is enabled by default, with no pool fees and no intermediaries taking a cut. Odds of hitting a block at 1.2 TH/s sit around 1 in 17,200 in a given year, so treat it as a lottery ticket that happens to hold down a day job. Pool mode is a toggle in the app if you would rather accumulate steadily. Either way it functions as a working air purifier whether it ever finds a block or not.

Coldcard security incident: what happened, what to do, and our support for SeedSigner

Hey everyone,

Over the last several days, the Bitcoin community has been shaken by an ongoing incident involving Coldcard hardware wallets, made by Coinkite. A firmware bug affecting seed generation on certain older devices has been actively exploited, and funds have been lost. We're posting this to share what Coinkite has said in their own words, warn about the wave of scams that always follows events like this, and formally announce something we've been working toward.

To anyone here who has lost funds in this incident, our deepest condolences. Sats are more than numbers on a screen. They're time, work, and belief in a better system. What happened to you should not have happened to anyone.

What Happened

When a hardware wallet creates your seed phrase, one method uses a random number generator to pick words that no one could ever guess. The strength of that randomness is called entropy. Enough entropy means guessing your seed would take longer than the age of the universe. That's the whole reason a 12 or 24 word backup can safely protect real money.

On the affected Coldcard devices, a firmware bug caused the random number generator to fall back to a predictable software source instead of using true hardware randomness. Instead of picking from an unimaginably large pool of possibilities, the device was quietly picking from a much smaller pool that attackers could reproduce. That's how thousands of wallets were drained without anyone ever touching the physical devices.

Updating the firmware fixes new seeds going forward. It does not fix a seed that was already generated on the flawed firmware. That's why Coinkite is urging affected users to move their funds.

In Coinkite's Own Words

>

If you've ever generated a seed on a Coldcard device, please act on Coinkite's advisory now. Don't delay. The full technical advisory, including affected firmware versions and models and the updated firmware releases, is on the Coinkite blog: https://blog.coinkite.com/coldcard-mk3-seed-generation-warning/

Watch for Scams and Phishing

When events like this happen, scammers spike immediately. Expect fake emails, fake support pages, fake "recovery" tools, and fake urgency, all designed to trick you into typing your seed phrase somewhere it should never go.

  • Verify every email. Check sender addresses carefully.
  • Never enter your seed into a website or app. Ever.
  • Never share your seed with anyone claiming to be from support. Not Coinkite, not us, not anyone.
  • When in doubt, do nothing and ask the community before you act.

For real-time updates from trusted voices, the news feed on X is one of the fastest sources of accurate info right now. Follow verified accounts from Coinkite, the hardware wallet community, and Bitcoin devs you already know and trust.

Self-Custody is the Whole Point

Bitcoin is different from every asset that came before it because you can actually own it. Not a claim, not an IOU, not a balance an intermediary is holding for you. Real, direct ownership is the entire point.

Self-custody, holding your own keys and being your own bank, is what makes that ownership real. It's the harder path. It requires care, patience, and the right tools. This week is a painful reminder that it also requires the tools themselves to be trustworthy. That doesn't change our belief that self-custody is worth doing. It sharpens it.

Solo Satoshi Formally Supports the SeedSigner Project

We want to be transparent up front. This has been in the works for a while. The timing this week is an awkward coincidence, not opportunism. We had planned this announcement, and we chose to move forward with it rather than delay, because what happened this week is exactly why we believe in the philosophy behind it.

We're formally announcing our support for the SeedSigner project and the launch of the SeedSigner+ on our store. SeedSigner is an open-source, air-gapped Bitcoin signing device. The SeedSigner+ is sourced directly from the project's creator.

Open source matters! Code that anyone can read, that anyone can review, and that the community can inspect and fork is code that gets audited by many eyes over time. It's not a guarantee against bugs, nothing is, but it's the model we trust for hardware that holds Bitcoin.

What makes SeedSigner+ what it is:

  • Stateless. Your seed exists only in volatile memory during a signing session and disappears the moment you unplug it
  • No wireless. The Raspberry Pi Zero v1.3 has no WiFi or Bluetooth silicon
  • Air-gapped operation via QR codes and the built-in camera
  • Blank microSD by default. You download and verify the SeedSigner OS image yourself, so you never have to trust that a vendor put honest firmware on your device
  • Sourced directly from the SeedSigner project creator
  • Fully assembled in the USA, same-day shipping from Houston
  • 90-day Solo Satoshi hardware warranty

Product page: https://www.solosatoshi.com/product/seedsigner/

Project: https://seedsigner.com and https://github.com/SeedSigner/seedsigner

Take care of yourselves and each other this week. If you have any questions, or you're unsure whether an email or message you received is legitimate, drop a comment or reach out to us directly and we'll help you sort it out.

Stack sats safely.

Clearing up Rumors from Social Media Influencers and Other Home Mining Companies About AxeOS Licensing Fee.

There is no licensing fee to run or distribute esp-miner/AxeOS. There never has been, and no party is in a position to impose one.

There are claims starting to circulate by social media influencers and other business in the home mining space that suggest otherwise. We are issuing this statement to correct the record, and we encourage everyone to verify it independently rather than take our word for it.

esp-miner/AxeOS is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 (GPL-3.0). The source code and license file are publicly available:

Repository and license: https://

github.com/bitaxeorg/ESP-Miner

GPL-3.0 in plain language: https://

choosealicense.com/licenses/gpl-3.0/

Under this license, no entity may charge a fee for the right to run the firmware, to install it on hardware, or to redistribute it. This is not a discretionary policy. It is a legal characteristic of the license under which the code was published, and it cannot be retroactively withdrawn from code already released.

The license does carry obligations which may be the source of the confusion. Anyone who distributes a modified version of the firmware must publish those modifications as open source under the same terms. GPL-3.0 also includes anti-tivoization provisions, which prevent the use of hardware locks to stop owners from running modified firmware on devices they have purchased. These are obligations owed to the community. They are not payments owed to any company or individual.

If you have been told that a fee applies, we would ask you to request specifics: which clause of the license, and which entity is collecting. The license text is public, the repository history is public, and the claim can be checked in a matter of minutes.

esp-miner exists because contributors chose to release their work openly. It was created by Skot and is maintained today through Open Source Miners United (OSMU). Misinformation of this kind creates unnecessary hesitation among users and manufacturers, and it discourages the open contribution that the project depends on.

Our position is straightforward. Run the firmware. Modify it. Build products around it. If you distribute a modified version, publish your changes as the license requires. Nothing further is owed to anyone.

Solo Satoshi announces the Bitaxe Gamma Hex at Mining Disrupt: 6x BM1370, 8.4 TH/s at ~140W, hydro cooled, Overclocked past 13TH/s!!!

We showed the Bitaxe Gamma Hex at Mining Disrupt last week and got hit with the same questions over and over, so here is the full breakdown now that the product page is up.

What is the Bitaxe Gamma Hex?

The Bitaxe Gamma Hex is a hydro cooled, open source Bitcoin solo miner built on 6 Bitmain BM1370 ASICs, the same S21 Pro class silicon used across the Gamma line. It hashes ~8.4 TH/s at ~140W stock, roughly 16 J/TH, and runs esp-miner firmware with the AxeOS dashboard. It is the first Bitaxe to combine six chips with liquid cooling.

The cooling is the actual story

An AIO liquid cooler with a pure copper micro fin cold plate, sized well beyond what the board draws at stock. That surplus is not a spec sheet flex, it is the entire reason the overclocking headroom exists.

Our published overclock figure is ~11 TH/s at ~191W with ASIC temps holding around 60C. On the show floor at Mining Disrupt we pushed one to 13 TH/s and it did not flinch. Temps stayed in range and it just kept hashing all day. Worth saying plainly: 13 is not the spec, it is what one unit did under a demo. Overclocking is silicon lottery dependent and done at your own risk.

The other benefit is noise. No high RPM axial fan screaming at a heatsink means it sits around 30 dB. A six chip miner you can actually run in an office or bedroom did not exist before this.

Power delivery

Four VRM phases, 6-pin PCIe connector on the board, and a Mean Well GST280A12-C6P rated for 252W continuous output. That leaves about 112W of headroom over stock draw, so pushing toward 11 TH/s stays inside the PSU's continuous rating rather than leaning on peak.

Additional information

Assembled, tested, and firmware flashed in Houston before it ships. Includes the PSU, IEC power cord, stand, and setup card. Setup is the usual Bitaxe flow: connect to the hotspot, enter wifi credentials, drop in a BTC address, pick your pool.

Pricing and availability announced soon! Solo Satoshi does not do pre-sales!
