AxeOS is the primary open-source firmware for BitAxe miners. It replaces factory firmware to provide lower latency, better pool compatibility, and advanced configuration options including DATUM support.

BitAxe is an open-source, low-power Bitcoin ASIC miner designed for home mining. It bridges the gap between industrial-scale equipment and hobbyist participation in network security.

Bitcoin Knots is an enhanced full-node implementation of Bitcoin, maintained by Luke Dashjr. It builds on Bitcoin Core with additional privacy, decentralization, and mining-related features.

Comparison of full, pruned, archival, Simplified Payment Verification (SPV), and neutral nodes; explains trade-offs in storage, trust, privacy, and validation guarantees.

On-demand SHA-256 hashrate marketplace launched by Braiins in January 2026 (public beta). Miners buy and sell hashrate through a live order book without long-term contracts or hardware ownership.

Official automation tool from Braiins for managing hashrate bids on the Braiins Hashpower marketplace. Rules-based engine that buys hashrate when price crosses thresholds and auto-rebalances between pools.

Core-Lightning (CLN, often called c-lightning) is a lightweight, modular Lightning Network implementation. It is notable for early support of Bolt 12, which enables static Lightning offers for automated recurring payments.

Electricity plan comparison marketplace for Texas. Aggregates rates across multiple providers with zero fees to the user.

DATUM (Decentralized Template Auction Machine / UTXO Manager) is a protocol that lets miners build custom block templates directly on their own node and submit them to a mining pool—without the pool dictating what transactions go into the block.

DIY Python auto-optimizer for the Braiins Hashpower marketplace. Monitors the order book, detects stalled bids, and automatically adjusts pricing to maintain hashrate flow while minimizing overpayment.

Data and analytics platform for Bitcoin mining. Tracks miner revenue, profitability, power consumption by rig, and historical ASIC pricing.

Bitcoin mining-themed board game. Teaches proof-of-work concepts, mining economics, and hodling strategy through physical gameplay.

Practical guide to solo and pooled mining at home using consumer hardware, hash marketplaces, and Stratum V2 / DATUM template control.

Step-by-step guide to solo and pooled home mining: hardware selection, Stratum V2/DATUM template control, hash marketplace on-ramps, and operational security.

ASIC mining hardware marketplace. Sells refurbished and used miners, often at prices accessible to home miners.

Analysis of mining centralization pressures and decentralization mechanisms: Stratum V2, DATUM, hash marketplaces, small-pool coordination, and the path toward sovereign hash-rate ownership.

Comparison of PPLNS, FPPS, PPS+, TIDES, and solo mining payout models with variance analysis, latency, pool fees, and suitability for different hash-rate scales.

Comparison of PPLNS, FPPS, PPS+, TIDES, and solo mining payout models with variance, latency, and pool fee implications.

Note: This presentation also has interactive slide-by-slide pages with key takeaways and SpeakerDeck links where available.

Methods for acquiring Bitcoin without identity verification including Bisq, RoboSats, HodlHodl, Azteco vouchers, Bitcoin ATMs, and in-person trades.

Ocean.xyz is a Bitcoin mining pool that emphasizes transparency, non-custodial payouts, and miner sovereignty through the DATUM protocol.

Fundamentals of Nakamoto consensus, difficulty adjustment, hash rate measurement, energy economics, and the security model underlying Bitcoin's immutability.

public-pool.io is a zero-fee, open-source solo mining pool. Instead of sharing rewards across participants, every connected miner hashes independently against the network difficulty—if you find a block, you keep the entire reward.

Manufacturer of sound-dampening enclosures for Bitcoin ASIC miners. Targets residential miners who need to reduce noise without custom fabrication.

Stratum V2 (Sv2) is a next-generation mining protocol that addresses the centralization risks inherent in the original Stratum protocol by giving miners control over block template construction.

Bitcoin mining infrastructure company founded by Steve Barbour. Best known for the Ohmm BlackBox: a sound-attenuated, weather-resistant enclosure for ASIC miners.
