 “I love the Bitaxe!”, says @ODELL as @MartyBent  shows off his quite stylish bitaxeSupra 🤘 https://image.nostr.build/cdb0c9568f4701a93ce060a403b8b9910a48dc131edbfe97ece00baee6cdfe66.jpg  
 QVC 😁🤣 
 I heard for every 1000 Bitaxe sold @ODELL will smash a closed source miner live on RHR! 
 I would watch that. 🤣 
 Is anyone working on reverse engineering the Canaan nano 3?  Everything is great about it except that it's closed source 
 @6392ad91 and I did a teardown. It’s well built. ASICs are a bit dated, but noone really cares in home mining. The only thing I can’t figure out is how they made it so crazy cheap. 
 any chance we can turn it into a bitaxe? 
 🤫🤫 
  @ODELL What was the $99 chinese rig you mentioned?  I've got some free energy I want to draw down at 110 
 They were talking about the Canaan Avalon Nano3. It’s not really $99; they charge extra for the PSU. And AFAIK those cheap units are back ordered.

Solid machine though! 
 Thanks for the info.  I'm thinking of getting a bitaxe just to play around with as well.  Looking forward to the next generation.  I'd like to staple some to the wall in an office we don't use here yet. 
 We have a pretty break neck release schedule, so there is always a “next generation” around the corner! Hopefully they are cheap enough to dive in whenever you’re ready. 
 Bitaxe is sick

What's the cheapest source of them? Not because I want to buy one but to undercut 
 Cheapest by far is to manufacture them yourself. Details at bitaxe.org 
 I got Supras for 145 + shipping  
 I enjoyed how early in the episode Marty is talking about how he believes ppl are actually eating pets in Ohio and Matt is holding in a "Jesus fucking Christ, this guy sometimes"
