Do you want to learn how to mine Bitcoin with your own hardware? Do you want to support the network security and decentralization by using open source technology? Do you want to have fun and meet other Bitcoin enthusiasts?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, then this workshop is for you!
In this workshop, you will learn how to build your own open source Bitcoin miner using the Bitaxe board and the BM1397 ASIC chip from Bitmain. You will also learn how to configure and run your miner over WiFi and connect it to your preferred mining pool.
What is Bitaxe?
Bitaxe is an open source hardware Bitcoin ASIC miner that uses the BM1397 chip from Bitmain to perform SHA256 hashing.It can mine directly to your pool over WiFi without an external computer. It also has features such as power metering, temperature monitoring, fan control and voltage adjustment. You can find the design files and instructions on GitHub.

- A Bitaxe PCB board (you can order more online or buy at the workshop)
- A BM1397 ASIC chip (you can order more online or buy at the workshop)
- A fan (optional but recommended)
- A basic understanding of electronics and Bitcoin mining
What will you learn?
By the end of this workshop, you will be able to:
- Solder the Bitaxe board and the BM1397 chip
- Flash the firmware on the ESP32 microcontroller
- Connect your miner to your WiFi network and your mining pool
- Monitor and adjust the power, temperature and voltage of your miner
- Troubleshoot common issues and errors
