We sell computing hardware. We do not sell an income, a yield, or an investment. This page explains plainly what mining and DePIN hardware does and does not do, so you can decide whether to buy with your eyes open. Please read it before ordering.
The short version
- We make no claim, promise or estimate about earnings of any kind. Any figure we publish is a hardware specification, never a projection of income.
- Mining hardware consumes electricity continuously. That cost is certain. Any output is not.
- Solo mining produces nothing at all unless and until a block is found, which for home-scale hardware is a remote statistical possibility, not a plan.
- DePIN rewards are set by independent third-party networks that we do not control and that can change or end their programmes at any time.
- You may spend more on electricity than the hardware ever produces. Many home operators do.
- Buy this equipment because you want to run it, learn from it, support a network, or use its heat. Do not buy it as a financial product.
1. What we sell, and what we do not
BitaxeDeploy is a hardware retailer. We sell physical machines and accessories, and we support them under our warranty.
We do not:
- Offer investment, financial, tax or legal advice;
- Sell securities, investment contracts, or any interest in a profit-sharing arrangement;
- Operate a mining pool, or custody, exchange or hold cryptocurrency on your behalf;
- Offer hosting, managed mining or revenue-sharing;
- Guarantee, project or estimate any revenue, yield, return on investment, payback period or break-even point.
If you encounter any material anywhere that appears to promise returns from hardware bought here, it did not come from us. Please report it to customercare@bitaxedeploy.com.
2. Specifications are not projections
Every product page lists figures such as hashrate, power draw, efficiency and noise. These are engineering specifications measured at factory settings, supplied by the manufacturer or measured by us. They describe what the machine does, not what it earns.
Actual figures vary with firmware version, configuration, ambient temperature, supply voltage, altitude, dust accumulation and the age and condition of the unit. Figures given as approximate or as a range should be read as such.
3. Factors entirely outside our control
What a machine produces, if anything, depends on variables that neither we nor the manufacturer influence:
- Network difficulty, which adjusts over time and has historically trended upwards — meaning the same hardware produces less over time;
- Cryptocurrency market prices, which are volatile and can fall substantially and rapidly;
- Block subsidy and halving schedules, which reduce issuance at predetermined intervals;
- Transaction fee levels, which fluctuate with network demand;
- Your electricity tariff, which varies by region, supplier, time of day and season;
- Pool selection, fees and luck, and the pool operator's own terms;
- Protocol changes decided by the relevant network's participants;
- Hardware availability and competition, as more efficient machines reach the market;
- Regulatory and tax changes in your jurisdiction.
Any of these can change at any time, in either direction, without notice.
4. Solo mining: understand the statistics first
Much of the hardware we sell is bought for solo mining — pointing a machine at your own node rather than a pool. It is important to understand what that means.
Solo mining is all-or-nothing. A solo miner produces no output whatsoever unless it finds a complete block. There are no partial payments and no accumulation. The probability of a home-scale machine finding a block is governed by its hashrate relative to total network hashrate, and for machines in the terahash range that probability is very small over any realistic time horizon.
The possibility is real, but it is a low-probability event, not an expectation. It is closer in character to a lottery than to an income stream. Please do not spend money you cannot afford to lose on the assumption that a block will be found. Most solo miners never find one.
Pool mining distributes smaller, more frequent payments instead, but is subject to pool fees, pool terms, minimum payout thresholds and the pool's own solvency and conduct.
5. Electricity is a certain, continuing cost
Mining hardware runs continuously and converts almost all the electricity it draws into heat. The electricity bill arrives whether or not the machine produces anything.
Before buying, work out your own running cost. The arithmetic is: machine wattage ÷ 1000 × 24 hours × your rate per kWh = daily cost. A 300 W machine at $0.12/kWh costs roughly $0.86 a day, about $315 a year. At $0.31/kWh it is roughly $2.23 a day, about $814 a year. Your rate, your machine, your decision.
We sell a plug-in power meter so you can measure actual draw rather than estimate it. We recommend owning one.
It is entirely possible — and for many home operators it is the normal outcome — that the cost of electricity exceeds the value of anything the machine produces. Factor that in before you buy.
6. DePIN hardware and third-party networks
DePIN devices — Helium hotspots, WeatherXM stations, GEODNET receivers, Wingbits receivers, 4DSKY receivers, Anyone routers — connect to independent networks operated by third parties. We supply the hardware; we do not run those networks and have no influence over them.
Each network sets its own rules, reward mechanisms, eligibility criteria and coverage requirements, and may change or discontinue them at any time without notice or compensation. Some networks are in testnet phase and issue points rather than any transferable token; where we know this to be the case we say so on the product page, but status can change after publication.
Coverage value for these devices depends overwhelmingly on siting — antenna height, line of sight, and how many other devices already cover your area. Two identical units in different locations can perform entirely differently. Check the relevant network's coverage map for your specific address before ordering. A device in a saturated area may contribute, and receive, very little.
7. Heat, noise and practical constraints
These machines produce real heat and real noise. A 500 W miner is, thermally, a 500 W heater. In winter in a space you heat anyway that may be useful; in summer, or in a living space, it may not be tolerable.
Before ordering, confirm that you have somewhere suitable to put the machine, that the circuit can carry it continuously, and that the noise is acceptable to you and to anyone else affected — including neighbours, landlords and homeowners' associations. See Safety and Compliance.
8. Tax
Receipts from mining or network participation may be taxable income where you live, and disposing of cryptocurrency may trigger a separate taxable event. Rules differ by jurisdiction and change. We do not provide tax advice. Please consult a qualified tax professional about your own circumstances, and keep records from the start rather than reconstructing them later.
9. Regulation
Laws affecting cryptocurrency mining and DePIN participation vary by country, state and municipality, and are evolving. Some jurisdictions restrict mining, impose specific electricity tariffs, or apply noise and zoning rules. You are responsible for ensuring that operating this hardware is lawful where you are.
10. Hardware lifespan
ASIC hardware depreciates. More efficient machines reach the market continuously, and as network difficulty rises, older hardware produces less for the same electricity. The practical working life of a machine is governed less by component failure than by the point at which running it stops making sense for you. Assume depreciation; do not assume resale value.
11. Our commitment
We will describe hardware accurately, publish specifications as specifications, honour our refund policy and warranty, and tell you when we do not know something. We will not publish earnings calculators, payback estimates, profitability projections or income claims, because we think they mislead more often than they inform.
