This is what a real Bitaxe setup looks like — no warehouse, no rack of machines. Just this, plugged in, running. $BTC
Screen shows your live hashrate the second it boots. That's the whole point: you're not trusting a dashboard somewhere else, you're watching it work in your hand.

People often ask why Koshh uses punched numbers instead of engraved words.
A punched hole is either there or it isn’t, so there’s nothing to misread as the metal ages. Letters can blur or look alike after years of wear.
Each of the 2,048 words in the standard list has its own number, and the plate records that number as a pattern in the grid.

Block 321 at https://t.co/DxVNvsnIkg: a miner with about 161 TH/s found it. Per Con Kolivas, a miner that size has roughly a 1 in 126 chance of finding a block in a year.
That’s three solo blocks on ckpool in five days, counting the two on Nov 7. Solo wins are landing more often than most people expect.
To keep it honest: 161 TH/s is about 134 times a Gamma 601. Scaling from Kolivas’s numbers, a Gamma 601 at 1.2 TH/s sits near 1 in 17,000 a year. A NerdOctaxe at 9.6 TH/s is near 1 in 2,100.
Long odds, small running cost (the 601 draws about 17W), and a win pays the whole block to your own address minus the pool’s 2% fee. It’s a lottery ticket, not a salary. $BTC
@era_wallet Well said. Checking the words is step one. Confirming that the restored wallet shows the expected receive address closes the loop. Thanks for making that distinction.
Most people back up their seed phrase once and never check it.
A backup you’ve never tested is a guess. Words can be copied in the wrong order, a letter can be misread, a punched number can be off by one position, and you won’t find out until the day you need it.
Many hardware wallets have a built-in way to check your backup without moving any funds. Look in your device’s settings for a “check backup” or “recovery check” option, and go through it with your written or punched copy in hand.
If your wallet doesn’t have one, a safe test is to set up a fresh, empty wallet from your backup and confirm it shows the same first receive address as the original. Only do this on a device you trust, and never type your phrase into a website or app.
Do it once after you make the backup, and again whenever you move it.
Two solo miners found blocks on ckpool within seven hours of each other on Nov 7: blocks 974893 and 974930.
Each block pays the miner the full 3.125 BTC subsidy plus fees. No pool sharing, no payout threshold. Just the pool’s 2% fee.
What’s worth knowing is that solo wins keep happening: the lottery is long odds, but it isn’t closed.
If you want your own ticket, a Bitaxe Gamma 601 (about 1.2 TH/s, 17W) is ₹18,000. It won’t pay your bills. Most miners at that size will never find a block, but the running cost is close to nothing.
Tomorrow is Diwali. Wishing everyone a happy, safe and bright festival from all of us at Bitasha.
May the lights bring good luck, good health and secure keys. Thank you for being part of this community this year, from the first Koshh orders to the people we met at Bitmela.

Gifting a hardware wallet this Diwali? A few things make it a good gift instead of a stressful one.
1. Give it sealed. The person should open the box and set it up themselves, so nobody else has ever seen their keys.
2. Tell them to write down the recovery phrase the device shows, and check it against the screen. You shouldn’t know it, and neither should anyone else.
3. Pick one that matches the person. A simple, well-documented wallet for a beginner, an open-source one for someone who likes to verify things.
4. Pair it with a steel backup if you can, since paper is the weak point in most setups.

Looking for a Diwali gift for the Bitcoiner who already has everything?
A Bitaxe runs on about 17W (Gamma 601), connects over Wi-Fi, and shows its live hashrate on its own screen. Plug it in, point it at a solo pool, and it’s mining.
It won’t pay anyone’s bills. Solo mining is a lottery with long odds, and most people never find a block. But it’s a real ticket that costs very little to keep running, and it’s a conversation starter for the whole family.
