The Dawn of the Bitaxe GT: A Quantum Jump into the Future

A New Dawn for Home Mining: The Bitaxe GT (Gamma Turbo)

Bitcoin mining has always been a frontier—wild, untamed, and constantly evolving. Over the past year, the Bitaxe project emerged as a steadfast companion for enthusiasts who valued open-source software – hardware, energy efficiency, and a sense of community-driven innovation. But this time, something extraordinary was brewing behind the scenes. Rumors circulated; whispers hinted at a new model that would shake the foundations of at-home mining. Then, in a flash of anticipation, the curtain lifted to reveal the Bitaxe GT.


The Legacy That Led Here

To appreciate the GT, one must journey back to the beginning of the Bitaxe story. Each previous model played a part in paving the way:

  1. Bitaxe Max
    The inaugural device that brought open-source mining to anyone with the passion to explore Bitcoin’s untapped potential. Its inclusion of the BM1397 chip put the power of mining in everyday hands.
  2. Bitaxe Ultra
    Building on the Max, the Ultra introduced a BM1366 chip, along with standalone Wi-Fi capabilities. A more seamless experience emerged as users no longer needed elaborate setups—just plug in, connect, and start mining.
  3. Bitaxe Supra
    With the BM1368 chip, the Bitaxe Supra delivered premium performance and remarkable efficiency. It was a nod to those who demanded the best without sacrificing practicality.
  4. Bitaxe Gamma
    While the Bitace Supra catered to the power-hungry, the Bitaxe Gamma circled back to approachability. Its single BM1370 chip welcomed newcomers, offering more performance and efficiency, proving that anyone could mine Bitcoin without a daunting learning curve.

Enter the Bitaxe GT

After the Gamma, it seemed Bitaxe had perfected the art of home mining. Yet behind closed doors, OSMU was already dreaming bigger. Their next chapter was more than an iterative update—it was an evolutionary leap. Nicknamed “Gamma Turbo,” the Bitaxe GT takes the familiar and supercharges it.

  1. Doubling Up on Power
    Equipped with two BM1370 ASIC chips sourced from the Bitmain S21 Pro, the GT breaks through conventional boundaries. It doesn’t just double the hashing capacity of the Gamma—it does so while keeping energy consumption in check. The result? A powerful miner that respects both your electricity bill and the environment.
  2. Performance That Speaks Volumes
    Despite its compact form, the GT surpasses 2 terahashes at just 33 watts of power consumption. This achievement marks a remarkable efficiency milestone, demonstrating that high performance and low energy usage need not be mutually exclusive.
  3. Efficient 12V DC Input
    At the heart of the GT’s efficiency lies its 12 Volt DC input. By operating at 12V, the GT can push more total power to its ASIC chips while simultaneously drawing less current. This design choice optimizes overall energy consumption, allowing Bitcoin home miners to sustain robust operations without cranking up their electricity costs.
  4. Smart Cooling & Design
    While more power typically means more heat, the GT tackles this with a 60mm fan engineered to keep noise and temperature in check. No longer do miners need to tolerate a screaming jet engine in their living space. With a compact design and optimized airflow, the GT is a great fit for desktops, garages, or any spot you choose to call your mining sanctuary.
  5. Familiar AxeOS & Potential Connector Update
    The GT will continue to run on the same AxeOS operating system that existing users know and love, ensuring a smooth, familiar experience from the moment you power it on. Meanwhile, whispers suggest that Bitaxe is also exploring a shift to an XT30 power connector for future revisions. Though not yet confirmed, this potential change points to an even more secure and modular approach to powering the device.
  6. Community at Its Core
    From day one, the team behind Bitaxe believed in open-source principles. The GT continues that tradition with hardware schematics and firmware open to all. This transparency sparks experimentation—tinkerers, hobbyists, and seasoned pros can optimize or customize every aspect of their miner. It’s not just a project but a platform, fostering a spirit of collaboration that elevates everyone involved.

Why the GT Changes the Game

  • Power for Everyone
    The Bitaxe GT merges the unstoppable force of dual ASIC chips with the accessibility legacy Bitaxe has upheld since inception. It’s an entry point for budding enthusiasts and a performance booster for veterans.
  • Decentralization on the Rise
    By enabling robust mining from home, the GT echoes Bitcoin’s original vision: a network where power isn’t locked behind massive server farms. With the GT, decentralization becomes a lived reality—one hash at a time, one home at a time.
  • Future-Proof Design
    As Bitcoin’s home mining landscape grows ever more competitive, the GT’s foresight in efficiency, adaptability, and open development ensures it won’t be left in the dust. It’s a device built for the challenges of tomorrow.
  • Community Innovation
    The real power of the GT is the community it fosters. Users can adapt firmware, share tweaks, and push boundaries together, collectively shaping the future of open-source mining.

A Glimpse at What’s Next

If the past Bitaxe models taught us anything, it’s that each device isn’t just a project but a chapter in an ongoing story. The Bitaxe GT is that next thrilling installment—a testament to how home mining can mature, innovate, and still stay true to the collaborative heart of Bitcoin.

Whether you’re a curious newcomer or a seasoned miner, the GT’s arrival signals more than just another hardware release. It’s a patth forward for those who believe in decentralization, open-source creativity, and the power of individuals to fuel the Bitcoin network from their own homes.

So, as the world of Bitcoin home mining spins forward at breakneck speed, the Bitaxe GT steps onto the stage—bold, determined, and ready to write the future of mining, one carefully orchestrated hash at a time.


Where to Buy the Bitaxe GT

Solo Satoshi is the global leading distributor of Bitaxe devices globally. Our goal is to decentralize Bitcoin mining and put power back into the hands of the silent majority, instilling that power for generations to come. At this moment, there are no official release dates: this information just broke out of the OSMU Town Hall meeting today by Skot – the instigator of the Bitaxe project.
