Sounds similar to an Avalon Nano 3s. I wonder if it’s quieter or cheaper than those.

looks matter more than people admit when its sitting in your living room

Looks nice, pretty decent efficient. 

I just can't get over that the BitAxes are so freakin' ugly. Don't wanna have _that_ on display anywhere

if its quiet enough, thats already a huge win for home mining

 stock. Tuned profiles are reported around 

, depending on settings and cooling. For most normal home miners, the smart play is simple: run it stock, give it clean airflow, use a stable network connection, and let it work.

The main reason the BC04 is interesting is balance. It has enough hashrate to feel like a real Bitcoin miner, but the power draw stays in a range that makes sense at home. You can put it on a bench or shelf, watch the OLED screen, learn the workflow, and build mining habits without committing to industrial noise, 240V planning, ducting, or a giant heat problem on day one.

One note is that I seem to remember there being some criticism of Hammer Miners by the BitAxe guys. At the time I thought it had to do with open source stuff, but I did a brief search and couldn't find what I was thinking of. Still, there is a cloud around Hammer Miner in my mind, and it is worth doing a bit of research.

I saw this review by Crypto Cloaks. 

> The Hammer Miner BC04 targets roughly **6 TH/s** of SHA-256 hashrate at about **110W** stock. Tuned profiles are reported around **6.5 TH/s** with power closer to **120-125W**, depending on settings and cooling. For most normal home miners, the smart play is simple: run it stock, give it clean airflow, use a stable network connection, and let it work.
