NerdAxe Gamma
A single-chip board in the NerdQAxe enclosure and firmware, with a colour screen instead of the Bitaxe's monochrome OLED. Same performance as a Gamma 602 at a meaningful premium — you are buying the finish and the display.
What it costs, what it might win
Running costs across the site use this rate. The default is a typical household tariff — check your own bill for the real number.
The odds, honestly
At the current network difficulty of 1.262e+14, a NerdAxe Gamma is expected to find a block roughly once every 14.32K years. That is an average across infinite attempts, not a countdown — a block could come tomorrow, or never.
If you pooled instead
Point the same device at a normal mining pool and you would receive the statistical average steadily instead of gambling on it: about $1.19 a month, against $2.24 of electricity. At your electricity rate that loses money — every 60 sats mined costs $0.0734 in power. Buying the same BTC on an exchange would be cheaper.

About NerdQAxe / NerdMiner
Community designs from shufps that scale the Bitaxe idea to four and eight ASICs on one board. NerdQAxe boards ship with the OSMU-derived NerdQAxe firmware and are the usual step up when a single-chip Bitaxe stops being enough.
