Good education tool though. Gateway to the big boys.

Yeah I definitely bought it as a toy but with better hopes than that. I'd like them to work longer than that. Especially for the price of them. I'll probably look into the appliance route next time. Space heater maybe. Apartment living restricts me somewhat

Mine just sort of vibes and looks cool. They're valuable to the network when lots of people run them.

They are for learning about mining. You learned that mining is harder and riskier than you thought. Sounds like you got your money's worth. Unless of course you still think dropping the dough on an s21 means you'll have no problems and solve solo blocks. Then you didn't get your moneys worth. I'd a...

Can't disagree

Sounds about like my experience with S19s. 😅

These were good for me. I remember this and the note gave me a lot of laughs 🤣

Same here. Should probably sell them while they’re still worth something.

They’re a novelty for sure. But I bought one each for my 7 and 8 year old to teach them about Bitcoin and my 7 year old ended up doing a project at school on Bitcoin. Took in the Bitaxe, ran it off of a battery and connected to a phone wifi. Now he quotes Mises and tells his friends he’s a Bi...

These are for playing the lottery, you just weren’t lucky. No, it doesn’t make sense to buy proper miners because you need to run a small datacenter of them to earn anything.

They are dumb but they zap me maybe 150 sats every 3 days, which is nice

or, buy a lottery ticket. Similar odds.

No you know how cpu/gpu miners felt when asics came out…

Mine worst purchase was an antminer s9 that I bought for like $700 during the 2021 bull run, right before their price tanked along with Bitcoin’s price. 😂😭

It's a novelty not a financial hack

Don't even get me started. I at least wanted the paper weights little fan to spin, SMH

My experience: - get bitaxe - have broken psu after 2 weeks - wait 1 year for new psu - hook it up, nothing happens - leave it and come back 2 hours later - find totally fried bitaxe

I consider Bitaxe a great visual tech art to beauty up personal desk environment 😊
