Today I’m adding TWO Nerd Octaxe’s solo Bitcoin miners to my home mining setup and showing you exactly how I’m powering them using a custom 600W power supply instead of hot laptop bricks.
⚙️ Nerd Octax Specs:
• ~9.6 TH/s stock
• ~10–10.5 TH/s overclocked
• ~180–220W depending on silicon
• Open-source AxeOS
• XT60 power connector
In this video:
✔ Setting up TWO Nerd Octaxes on ONE power supply
✔ Why I switched away from power bricks
✔ Solo mining Bitcoin Cash vs Bitcoin
✔ Firmware differences between Octaxe revisions
✔ Troubleshooting firmware & overcurrent issues
✔ Discovering a faulty Nerd Octaxe out of the box
⚠️ DISCLAIMER:
Solo mining is a lottery. Your chances of finding a Bitcoin block are extremely low. These miners are for decentralization, learning, and fun — not guaranteed ROI.
💸 Why Bitcoin Cash?
Lower network difficulty = higher odds of finding a block.
A single BCH block could theoretically pay off multiple Nerd Octaxes.
