Bitaxe Gamma 601 – Build your own
homemade Bitcoin miner
I consider such miners useless given the increasing difficulty of Bitcoin mining, but has anyone tried to build this ASIC themselves? If possible, you can get a cheap option without purchasing. It's easier to buy one ASIC, but for several devices it might be more profitable to make it yourself.
You are right that those are useless from perspective of making you rich. They will not change your life but these home made soldered open ASIC miner platform ASICs can be excellent for educational purposes and experimenting. You can get real hands on real mining of bitcoin that is profitable (few cents, but pofitable) and they have all components of mining. They. have real hashrate and you can solo mine or use pool and it is enought to already have some share from pool.
