I didn’t really realize how cool the BitAxe project was before diving into the circuit board design of it.

Unlike most other #bitcoin open-source hardware projects, the BitAxe is a true electronics project which has an in-depth electrical schematic and high quality PCB layout which includes a relatively powerful switching power converter.

I am really excited for the Block nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m bitcoin mining chip because a plethora of new boards and form factors can bloom. Instead of using some Bitmain black box IC, a well documented chip could really put us off on the races for the types of waste heat designs can possibly be created.

Bullish on truly open-hardware!
