It appears to be powered on and connected to the pool. But no hashy. Any ideas on where to start? It's a NerdMiner NerdQaxe++ Rev 6.1 

This is not happening with my other Bitraxes (All 602 from SoloSatoshi). I included a picture of the specific chip.

My nerdqaxe++ fan started showing overheating message and I turned it off. I thought it’s due to outside temp being too hot as it was a warm day.

Tried it next morning and fan did not start. It shows it’s on auto and running 100% but the fan is not moving in reality.

What should I do. Does it require some cleaning or could it be a more serious issue.

The device (4.8th version and bought from Solomining.de)is few months old only so I am concerned.

I’ve always been a huge fan of TinyChipHub, and when I heard they had begun work on their first BM1373 miner I was ecstatic. When I saw the initial plans for it, I was even more so.

Took a while, but this past week I finally received the TCH “Zyber Blanc.” It’s unlike anything I’ve ever seen before. The body itself is thick and heavy billet aluminum, the “mountain peaks” on top are 3D printed PETG. The idea with this miner isn’t to be an overclock monster, there will be other devices far better suited for getting this most out of the massive S23 chip. This ship with a 5V 6A power supply that leaves no room for hashing above 2.7TH/s. Still, at 8.7w/TH it’s extremely impressive.

The Zyber Blanc doesn’t have a display which is a hit unusual, so mine shipped with a “Watchdog” which looks like a 3D-printed robotic dog with a holographic display cube for a head. The Watchdog displays both the Zyber Blancs current running data, as well as every other Axe device on your fleet. Tapping the dog’s paws allows you to scroll through the various displays which is really cool, and I honestly found myself more fascinated with the Watchdog than the 5x more expensive miner it shipped with.

This miner isn’t cheap, but didn’t really expect it to be. The enclosure was probably expensive to produce, the BM1373s are costly and hard to come by, and TCH has always been essentially a luxury brand in the mini miner space. At 289usd, it’s quite a bit more expensive than the Hammer ThorX1 which is capable of achieving a much higher out-of-the-box hashrate. I’ve ordered a new PSU and will be trying to experiment with overlocking this device, but I’ll be cautious.

A number of users have reported current issues and devices that have suddenly stopped hashing, and TinyChipHub announced that they’ve been working to resolve the issue. My Zyber Blanc hasn’t been smooth sailing just yet. When I experimented with custom frequencies, it was very finicky and would drop hashrate immediately if I tried even an incremental frequency or voltage adjustments.

Hopefully, this is a firmware issue which I strongly suspect. The BM1373 is new territory for builders, and they’re a long way from perfection. The chips that power our open source miners are very closed, and they come with zero instructions as to how to use them in “unauthorized” applications. Builders do the best they can to reverse engineer and figure it out it can be a long process with a lot of speedbumps along the way.

While this is by far the most beautiful device in my desktop mining fleet, it still feels like it’s in the experimental phase. I don’t fault TinyChipHub for this, and am confident they’re working hard to get it dialed in to meet their typically very high standards. If you happen to have one of these, I’d love to hear what your experience has been like so far. Although if you already have one it’s unlikely you’d read such a lengthy post about one. I will continue to post about this as updates occur.

Just 11 TH/s of independent freedom coming at ya!

Two Squids and a Talon cooling off on the hot East coast this holiday week. Hope you're nice and cool wherever you are.

Back to the hotdogs, burgers, and beer!!!

Bitaxe and Chill!

Hello,

I'm a new ⛏️ and I'd like to introduce my NerdQaxe ++ rev6.1 6.1TH/S Powermining.

With this power supply, I choose to follow the 80% rule + 10% safety margin = 92 W

🚨I don't want to take any risk just to have 6.1 TH/s.

🔵Efficiency : 16 J/TH

🔵Hasrate : 5.6 Th/s

🔵Connector : XT30

🔵Frequency: 690

🔵Core Voltage: 1190

⚡Surge suppressor : Eaton PB1F

🌍Solo Pool : https://findmyblock.xyz/

➡️Thoughts in Progress : Change the power supply to Mean well LRS350-12

Don't hesitate if you have any advice or tips. 🤘

Good evening,

I’m getting this error: “Power Fault Detected. Check your Power Supply.”

Hashrate shows “Not available - Power fault”.

My setup:

Bitaxe Gamma 601.

Brand new power supply: Mean Well.

What I have tried:

Checked connections.

Tried different outlet.

The PSU is completely new but the Bitaxe still shows power fault. Any ideas what could be wrong? Voltage drop? Bad cable? Defective unit?

Thanks in advance!

EDIT / UPDATE: Guys, thank you so much everyone! The problem was in the settings — they were way too low. As soon as I increased the Frequency and Core Voltage, it worked perfectly. Thank you very much ♥️♥️♥️♥️

Guys please go to the issues on this repo https://github.com/BitLuckFW/ESP-Miner-Nexus and request the overclocking limits to be removed. The firmware rejects anything over 450mhz and 1050mv. The creator thinks we need a baby sitter. I’m sitting here with a 30 degree asic and a 29 degree vr with all the headroom in the world. We know the risk of overclocking. We understand we could cook the board with too many amps. I tried patching the OTA firmware but it rejects the modified bin. Tried patching the factory firmware and installing via usb but something wasn’t quite right with my patch. Hey while you’re at it, ask them to add an error rate feature. We need it for tuning. You can find my comments on the issues and just thumbs up them.

1. Add the bitaxe or other devices you want to automatically manage.
2. Pick an automation mode. I’m using Solar + Battery
3. Pick the battery SOC in which mining starts, stops or throttles down.
4. Enjoy automatic mining operations based on the available solar or battery available.

I appreciate any help! Bitaxe Model 602.

Got with son as a teaching instrument.

The device is not powering on hen plugged in, the blue light on the power supply is solid before plugging in. After plugging in it begins to blink and doesn’t power on. Any help appreciated, sometimes when plugging in I see a spark at the yellow connector port on the device.

After running a Bitaxe for a while I kept asking myself: did my shares actually count, or did the pool just move on? That question became NexusPool.

What it is

A solo/lottery mining pool. You connect your Bitaxe, it mines. If it finds a block — it's 100% yours, no split, no fee. That's the lottery.

What's different is what we built around the pool to answer that original question.

Glass Ledger — proof of custody

Every pool tells you they're honest. NexusPool proves it.

We maintain a cryptographic chain of custody for your work:

• Counted → your shares arrived and were accepted
• Useful → they contributed to a valid job template
• Conserved → if a block was found, submit was fired

We call it the Glass Ledger. You can verify the chain without trusting us. The tagline writes itself: "We don't change your luck. We prove we didn't lose your work."

Most solo pools are a black box. You submit shares, you hope. Glass Ledger is the receipt.

The rest

• 0% fee — not "0% plus a donation tip," literally zero. Every sat goes to the finder.
• Non-custodial — payout address is yours. We never hold anything.
• Stratum V1 + V2 — V1 works out of the box with stock Bitaxe firmware. V2 is live for when firmware catches up.
• Open source — GPLv3, everything auditable.

Running mainnet as of v0.6.26.18. Happy to answer questions about Glass Ledger, the implementation, or how to point your Bitaxe at it.

Edit- After some further exploration, I found that the Bitaxe needed both an AxeOS and Firmware update. Once done and refreshed, I have full access to the dashboard and everything appears to be functioning correctly.

Recently got a Bitaxe Gamma 602 and followed instructions for setup. Seems like everything is working except for the dashboard. I've tried different browsers, incognito, even desktop view from a mobile phone and tablet. Yes its run on a 2.4ghz wifi connection, even displays it on the OLED screen. Please help. Google says to reset, did that several times from the button on the Bitaxe with no luck.
