What I’m Running at Home: Real Hashrates, Noise, and My Favorite Miner

A lot of people ask what I’m actually running at home, what my hashrates look like in real daily averages, and which miners I genuinely prefer after running them nonstop.

This is a straight breakdown of my current home setup — no cherry-picked 5-minute spikes, just realistic 24-hour averages.

🧱 My Current Setup (~15.9–16.1 TH/s Daily)

Right now I'm running:

• NerdQaxe++ Remastered (full copper) ×2
• Bitaxe Hex
• Bitaxe Gamma 601

Across all four units, my true 24-hour combined average sits around 15.9–16.1 TH/s.

This is what I use for modeling solo-mining odds and tracking long-term performance.

Miner-by-miner daily averages:

NerdQaxe++ Remastered (full copper)
- nerd1 — ≈ 6.13 TH/s
- nerd2 — ≈ 5.98 TH/s

Bitaxe Hex
- hex — ≈ 2.96 TH/s

Bitaxe Gamma 601
- gamma — ≈ 1.09 TH/s

Note: I see occasional hourly spikes above 17 TH/s, but daily averages are the number that matters.

🧱 NerdQaxe++ Remastered (Full Copper)

These are the workhorses of my setup — stable, cool, and consistently around 6 TH/s each in real-world daily averages.

Before CKPool wiped my stats and before I took them down for cleaning, I had even steadier long-term runs above 6 TH/s. After a reset, it always takes a while for the long averages to rebuild.

And yeah — the red PCB and orange fan look awesome on a desk.

🔶 Bitaxe Hex (stock settings)

I keep my Hex at stock settings mainly for one reason: noise. It’s close to where I sit, and pushing it harder isn’t worth the extra airflow.

• Daily avg: ~2.96 TH/s

It’s a strong middle-tier miner for people who want more than a single-chip device but don’t want to turn their house into an ASIC wind tunnel.

🔹 Bitaxe Gamma 601

This one’s the easiest miner to live with — quiet, simple, predictable.

• Daily avg: ~1.09 TH/s

I leave it on stock settings too.

If someone wants an entry miner that won’t take over their entire setup, this is still one of the most user-friendly.

⚡ Total Daily Hashrate

Putting everything together:

• Total daily average: 15.9–16.1 TH/s

This is the number I track for solo-mining, variance planning, and long-term monitoring.

🏆 My Favorite Miner (personal take)

Purely for my own setup and workflow:

The NerdQaxe++ Remastered (full copper) is my favorite miner.

It combines:

• excellent thermals
• stable performance
• beautiful PCB + fan aesthetics
• low headaches

If I had to rebuild from scratch, I’d start with these.

📌 What I’ll Cover Next

Over the next few posts, I’m planning to write about:

• Noise comparisons (real decibels measured at my desk)
• Overclocking vs. efficiency tuning
• Hourly vs. daily hashrate variance explained clearly
• Best miners for absolute beginners
• Solo-mining strategy at 16 TH/s
• Real cost-to-run based on Massachusetts electricity pricing
