Reclaiming Bitcoin's Decentralized Soul
The Mining Centralization Challenge
Bitcoin's original promise of decentralization faces its greatest challenge in mining centralization. Today, a handful of corporations control the network's security, with six pools mining over 95% of blocks. This concentration threatens Bitcoin's core ethos of trust minimization and self-sovereignty.
The Current State:
- Industrial mining farms dominate hashrate
- Two companies control 90% of ASIC market
- Home mining nearly extinct
- Corporate interests influence network security
The Bitaxe Revolution
Enter Bitaxe - a grassroots movement to reclaim Bitcoin mining for the people. This open-source project enables anyone to mine Bitcoin at home, using repurposed ASIC chips and community-developed hardware.

Which One Should You Choose?
The NerdQaxe++ is our flagship miner, offering the highest performance at 4.8 TH/s with whisper-quiet operation. Perfect for serious miners who want maximum hashrate while maintaining home-friendly noise levels.
The NerdQaxe+ Hydro combines advanced hydro-cooling with solid performance (2.5 TH/s), making it ideal for those who want premium cooling technology and RGB customization.
The Bitaxe Touch offers the most user-friendly experience with its touchscreen interface and lowest power consumption. It's perfect for beginners or those who want to display mining stats while serving as a functional desk accessory.
All three miners are part of the open-source movement, allowing you to contribute to Bitcoin's decentralization while mining from home.
Parasite Pool: The Decentralization Revolution
While centralized mining pools have betrayed Bitcoin's original vision, Parasite Pool emerges as a radical reimagination of mining - a zero-fee, Lightning-powered solution that flips the script on corporate mining.
Key Innovations:
- Zero fees - unlike Ocean's 2% or Foundry's 0.05 BTC minimums
- 10-sat payout threshold - perfect for Bitaxe miners
- Lightning payouts as simple as Venmo
- 1 BTC guaranteed to block finder
- Remaining 2.125 BTC + fees split via Lightning
- No complex channel management required
Why Parasite Matters:
- Empowers home miners to capture micro energy efficiently
- Decentralizes hash rate across thousands of home miners
- Prioritizes small miners in the reward structure
- Eliminates FPPS insolvency risks
- Delivers near-instant, fee-free payouts via Lightning
The Future of Mining
As halvings reduce block subsidies and transaction fees become more important, Parasite Pool's model ensures small-scale miners can thrive. By combining the best of solo mining (1 BTC jackpot potential) with the stability of pool mining (consistent Lightning payouts), Parasite creates a new paradigm for home mining.
Currently in beta, Parasite Pool represents a revolutionary force in Bitcoin mining - one that could fundamentally reshape the mining landscape by empowering individuals and small-scale operations. Whether it finds blocks or not, its existence challenges the status quo and pushes Bitcoin closer to its original vision of true decentralization.
