Bitaxe Gamma 602 Bitcoin Miner

The Bitaxe Gamma 602 miner is your entry into serious, open-source Bitcoin mining with modern ASIC silicon. Built around the BM1370 chip from Bitmain’s Antminer S21 series, this standalone Bitcoin miner delivers up to around 1.2 TH/s of hashrate while staying efficient and quiet enough to run at home.

Powered from a simple 5 V supply, with Wi-Fi and a built-in web interface, the Bitaxe Gamma 602 is perfect for anyone who wants to plug in, point at a pool and start mining – or tinker, overclock and experiment with different settings.

Why choose the Bitaxe Gamma 602?

• Modern ASIC: BM1370 SHA-256 chip taken from the Antminer S21 family, capable of around 1.2 TH/s on a single chip.
• Open-source hardware & firmware: based on the Bitaxe Gamma design and AxeOS firmware, with design files and code available on GitHub.
• Standalone miner: no external computer required – mines directly over Wi-Fi.
• Low power: powered from a 5 V 6 A PSU (included), suitable for desks, shelves and home labs.
• Beginner friendly: easy web dashboard for configuration and monitoring.
• Advanced ready: full access to frequency, voltage and pool settings for tuning and experimentation.

If you’d prefer a fully dressed, premium version with custom heatsink, BitHalo lighting and stands, have a look at the Bitaxe Gamma Black Edition or the 602-series builds in the Bitaxe range.

Key specs

Open-source design & firmware

The Bitaxe Gamma 602 is part of the wider Bitaxe ecosystem – an open-source Bitcoin ASIC miner project using modern chips like the BM1370. Hardware design files live on GitHub, and firmware is provided by the bitaxeGamma repository and ESP-Miner firmware.

That means you’re free to audit, modify and extend the device – whether that’s tweaking cooling, integrating it into a swarm, writing your own monitoring scripts or experimenting with different voltage/frequency curves.

Setup – plug in and start mining

Getting the Bitaxe Gamma 602 miner running is straightforward:

1. Connect the included 5 V 6 A PSU to the miner.
2. Power it on and connect to the Bitaxe Wi-Fi or find its IP on your network.
3. Open the AxeOS web interface in your browser.
4. Set your mining pool URL, username (BTC address) and worker name.
5. Optionally tune frequency and voltage for your preferred balance of hashrate, efficiency and temperature.

Within a few minutes you’ll see shares rolling in on your pool dashboard and live stats on the Bitaxe interface.

Pair it with a Rebel Bitcoin Node

To really lean into Bitcoin sovereignty, pair the Bitaxe Gamma 602 miner with a Rebel Bitcoin Node or the full Rebel NodeRunner package. This lets you run Bitcoin Core (and optional Lightning) yourself and solo mine through Public Pool straight to your own node.

Your node, your miner, your rules – no third-party dashboards or hosted services in the middle.

Who is the Bitaxe Gamma 602 for?

• Bitcoiners who want a real ASIC miner on their desk without datacenter noise.
• DIY types who like the idea of open-source hardware and firmware.
• People learning about mining who want something more serious than a toy, but smaller than a full rack miner.
• Anyone building a home lab, mining cluster or node+miner combo for education and experimentation.

Whether you run it stock for quiet, low-power solo mining, or tweak it as part of a swarm, the Bitaxe Gamma 602 miner is a solid, open and hackable way to bring modern Bitcoin ASIC mining into your home.
