2026-09-24T17:38:56Z

Introducing the Solo Satoshi Web Flasher!

Today we're releasing the first web flasher that installs Bitaxe, NerdAxe, and custom firmware from one browser-based tool. No software installation required, no command lines needed, and you don't need an account.

Key features:
- Official firmware only. Releases come directly from the official Bitaxe and NerdAxe ESP-Miner projects.

- SHA-256 checked twice. Each release is checked against its published SHA-256 digest when we process it and again in your browser before anything is written to your miner.

- Matched to your hardware. Firmware is filtered by model and board revision, so you only see releases built for your device. That includes compatible rollback versions.

- Settings preservation. You can choose to keep your existing Wi-Fi, pool and device settings during verified updates.

- Automatic restart. Your miner restarts on its own once installation is complete.

Custom firmware for developers and advanced users:

The Advanced tool installs your own compiled ESP32-S3 firmware. Fork ESP-Miner, change and tune it to fit how you mine, and flash it straight from the browser. Your file is processed locally and is never uploaded.

Open source under GPLv3:

The complete source code is public for anyone to inspect, fork and improve: github.com/SoloSatoshi/solo-satoshi-web-flasher

Acknowledgments:

This project builds on the work of two open-source developers, and we're grateful for their contributions to the community:

- Bitaxe Web Flasher by wantclue.

- NerdQAxe Web Flasher by Pmaxsd.

Requirements:

A current desktop version of Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge or Brave.

Cypherpunks write code. Satoshi wrote it in 2009.

"Running bitcoin." Two words. No exchange, no app, no custodian, no permission.

Seventeen years later most people who say they hold bitcoin have never run a single line of it.

We built the Sovereign Bitcoin Starter Package for the ones who want to run the full stack:
✔️ Bitaxe Gamma: your miner. Open-source firmware & hardware design.
✔️ Start9 Server One: your node. Your own rules, open-source software & operating system.
✔️ Blockstream Jade Classic: your keys. Air-gapped, open-source firmware & hardware.

No trusted third party anywhere in the loop. Every line auditable. Every device 100% yours.

Sovereignty is not a slogan, it is the hardware that you own and control.

2026-09-12T19:52:16Z

With open source mining firmware being a hot topic lately, there seems to be a severe misunderstanding of how licensing protects the work of contributors and the community.

ESP-Miner and AxeOS are licensed GPLv3. That often gets described as a control mechanism, but it's quite the opposite.

The license does one thing: it keeps the source open when the code changes hands.

Under private use, there is nothing required. Your changes and customization are yours, and they stay that way as long as you want.

The one requirement applies at distribution. Sell or distribute hardware with modifications preloaded and you publish the source alongside it. That person then has what you had, which is working code they can read and build on.

This is why home mining has a learning curve people can actually climb. Every improvement to ESP-Miner stays readable, which means the next person does not start from zero. They start from working code written by someone who solved the problem first. Frequency tuning, thermal handling, Stratum behavior, power curves. All of it is out in the open to study, question, and improve.

It is also why the pace of improvement has been what it is. Hundreds of contributors have shipped features into this firmware because the ceiling on contributing is reading the code rather than signing an agreement. Closed firmware caps innovation at whatever one company decides to fund. Open firmware does not have that ceiling.

Open firmware keeps mining itself transparent. You can verify what your hardware is doing. Where it points, what it reports, what it sends. Nobody has to take that on trust, which is the whole principle the network runs on. Don't trust, verify applies to the firmware too.

The GPLv3 is not a limit on hobbyists or tinkerers. It is what keeps community work from being taken, closed, and sold back.

2026-08-13T21:33:49Z

The recent shipping-provider data breach affecting Trezor customers is a reminder of something we've always believed; the best way to protect customer data is to never require it in the first place.

A reminder for our customers: When ordering from us, you can:
✅ Use an alias instead of your full legal name.
✅ Ship to a PO Box instead of your home address.
✅Ship to FedEx and UPS drop off locations.
✅ Check out with a throwaway or alias email address. (creating a new email is free, and services like Proton Mail take 2 minutes to set up).

If you ever need customer support, all we ask for is your order number. No name, no ID, no personal details required.

Your name, address, and email are only as safe as every third party that touches them. Minimize what you share, and there's nothing to leak.

Never enter your seed phrase on a website or share it with anyone.

Never click on any suspicious links.

Don't trust, verify.

With everything going on lately around hardware wallet seed ...

2026-08-12T21:27:48Z

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.

Gamma Hex Firmware Advisory Your Gamma Hex ships ready to mine ...

2026-08-11T17:53:35Z

Gamma Hex Firmware Advisory

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 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. 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 ...

2026-08-09T21:36:03Z

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.

An important message for the Bitcoin community. Over the last ...

2026-08-03T19:50:22Z

An important message for the Bitcoin community.

Over the last several days, the community has been shaken by an ongoing security 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.

If you have ever generated a seed on a Coldcard device, Coinkite is urging you to move your funds now. Do not delay. Read their official advisory here: https://blog.coinkite.com/coldcard-mk3-seed-generation-warning/

In Coinkite CEO Rodolfo Novak's own words: "If you generated a seed using a Coldcard wallet, move your funds now, using our updated best practices, before reading further."

To anyone who has lost funds in this incident, our deepest condolences. Sats are more than numbers on a screen. They are time, work, and belief in a better system.

⚠️ Watch for scams. Events like this always trigger a wave of phishing emails, fake support pages, and fake "recovery" tools. Verify every email. Never enter your seed into a website. Never share your seed with anyone claiming to be from support. Follow verified accounts on X for real-time updates.

Self-custody is the whole point of Bitcoin. Real, direct ownership of your coins, no intermediary. This week is a painful reminder that the tools we use for self-custody have to be trustworthy. That does not change our belief in self-custody. It sharpens it.

We are also formally announcing something we have been working toward for a while: Solo Satoshi now supports the SeedSigner project. The timing this week is an awkward coincidence, not opportunism. We chose to move forward because what happened this week is exactly why we believe in the philosophy behind open-source hardware.

SeedSigner is an open-source, air-gapped Bitcoin signing device. Stateless design (nothing persists after power-off), no WiFi or Bluetooth silicon on the board, and a blank microSD by default so you flash and verify the software yourself. Assembled in the USA and sourced directly from the project's creator.

2026-06-16T14:41:39Z

The new BM1373 miners are getting a lot of attention right now. Before you pay the premium, it's worth asking a simple question: what are you actually getting for the money?

We ran a straight cost-of-ownership comparison, Nexus S1 vs NerdQaxe++ rev7, over three years of 24/7 operation at the U.S. average residential rate of 17.65¢/kWh.

In fairness to the BM1373, it is the more efficient silicon, 10 J/TH against 14 to 17 J/TH, and that advantage compounds at higher power rates and longer horizons.

The hype is loud, but numbers matter.

2026-06-15T18:02:28Z

We've been running the Bitaxe GT (Gamma Turbo) for a bit and wanted to share setup notes & numbers for anyone considering one.

The headline difference from the standard Gamma is the dual BM1370 ASIC design. At stock settings we're seeing around 2.15 TH/s pulling roughly ~40W. There's also headroom! With overclocking you can push it well past 3 TH/s. Same AxeOS / esp-miner firmware you already know, so if you've run any Bitaxe before, nothing here will surprise you.

Setup is straightforward: power on, connect to the AxeOS Wi-Fi AP, join your network, then drop in your pool info and BTC payout address.

From there AxeOS gives you the usual dashboard: hashrate, chip temp, fan speed, accepted/rejected shares, and pool connection status.

You should definitely check it out! https://www.solosatoshi.com/product/bitaxe-gt-gamma-turbo/aff/7364/

2026-06-12T15:59:35Z

If your Bitaxe is running hotter than it used to, the thermal paste between the ASIC chip and heatsink is the first thing worth checking. Paste dries out over time, contact degrades, and temps creep up even at stock settings.

This video covers the full process on a Bitaxe Gamma that was overheating at stock settings:

-What thermal paste actually does and why miners start running hotter over time.
-Baseline temps in AxeOS before the swap.
-Materials needed for the job.
-How to safely remove the heatsink, clean off the old paste, and apply fresh paste.
-After results in AxeOS to show the difference.

With summer ambient temps climbing, this is a cheap bit of maintenance that can keep a miner stable through the hottest months. The process takes only a few minutes and applies to most Bitaxe models and similar home miners.

Telling the story of how Bitaxe is evolving is desperate and shady? Okay...

Bitcoin mining was never meant to be controlled or locked away. ...

2026-05-03T01:27:20Z

Bitcoin mining was never meant to be controlled or locked away.

Bitcoin was born from open code, open verification, and the principle that anyone, anywhere, should be able to participate without asking permission.

For too long, Bitcoin mining hardware moved in the opposite direction. Closed designs. Closed firmware. Black-box systems. Hardware stacks that everyday miners could barely modify, or improve.

Then came Bitaxe.

What started as a bold experiment, a single-chip Bitcoin ASIC miner that anyone could study, build, flash, tune, and understand, has grown into a global phenomenon far bigger than one board on a desk. Bitaxe was never just about hashrate. It was about access. It was about taking mining out of the black box and putting it back into the hands of builders, hackers, home miners, educators, plebs, and curious people who believe Bitcoin infrastructure should be spread globally.

The open-source mining movement has come a long way since those early days. AxeOS and ESP-Miner have evolved from experimental systems into a polished mining firmware stack.

If you've kept up closely, it's been a massive leap.

The community went from "can we make one ASIC chip hash on an open board?" to a growing ecosystem of open hardware, open source firmware, web dashboards, apps, pools, performance tuning, different display support, device APIs, and hundreds of community-driven improvements.

The hardware kept advancing in parallel, while continuing the same open-source, permissionless mining ethos. The Bitaxe Gamma Turbo pushed even further with a dual BM1370 open-source design running ESP-Miner, marking a major step toward modern multi-chip Bitaxe architecture.

That is what makes this moment significant. Bitaxe is no longer a single-chip experiment. It is growing into something more.

A movement with purpose, not a product.

The Bitaxe movement is powered by people who believe mining should be transparent. By contributors who would rather share schematics than hide them. By developers who ship firmware you can audit and improve, not encrypted blobs locked behind a vendor's signing key. By a community where firmware gets better because anyone can read it, test it, break it, fix it, and ship it. By the idea that the smallest miner on your desk can still represent one of the biggest ideas in Bitcoin: freedom at every layer.

This is how open-source mining wins. Not overnight. Not through hype. It wins through board revisions, firmware commits, community testing, late-night debugging, failed prototypes, better thermals, cleaner layouts, smarter firmware, and more builders showing up every day. Something new is on the way.

This Bitaxe was built on the shoulders of every open-source miner, firmware contributor, hardware designer, tester, builder, and believer who helped carry this movement from a single-chip experiment to a serious movement in Bitcoin mining.

The next chapter is about proving that open source mining is not a toy, not a side quest, and not a compromise. It is the path forward.

The next Bitaxe is built to remind the world what happens when miners stop waiting for permission.

The most powerful Bitaxe yet. Coming soon.

Your mining data may be visible on your network and you might not know it.

When your miner connects to a solo mining pool without TLS encryption, the connection is unencrypted. Your Bitcoin address, worker name, and share data are sent in plaintext between your miner and the pool server.

We tested the three biggest solo mining pools. Only two offer TLS. The most popular one with 299 confirmed blocks does not.

We also break down one of the biggest misconceptions in solo mining: that a pool's block count improves your individual odds. It doesn't. The math is the same on every pool.
