Houston-based Solo Satoshi has launched the Bitaxe Turbo Touch, an open-source, compact Bitcoin miner designed for hobbyists and home miners, boasting over double the hashrate of comparable touchscreen miners.
The device utilizes dual BM1370 ASIC chips, achieving an efficiency of about 18 joules per terahash and producing approximately 2.15 TH/s, with potential to reach over 3 TH/s when overclocked. It features a 4.3-inch capacitive touchscreen displaying real-time mining and network data pulled from mempool.space. Founder Matt Howard emphasized the company's commitment to transparency, ensuring that all code, hardware schematics, and board layouts are publicly available under an open hardware license.
The miner consumes about 43 watts, operates quietly at roughly 35 decibels, and is estimated to cost about $3.70 monthly to run at typical U.S. residential rates. Solo Satoshi positions the Bitaxe Turbo Touch as a more cost-effective alternative to competitors like the Braiins BMM 101, highlighting the growing niche for auditable, open-source mining hardware.
