Here is the quick review and set-up video:

Just got your hands on the NerdQaxe++? Congrats! 🎉 You're now the proud owner of one of the most efficient home Bitcoin miners on the market — delivering 4.8 TH/s at just 72 watts.

Here’s how to get started in just a few simple steps.


🔌 What’s in the Box?

  • NerdQaxe++ Miner (with BM1370 chips)

  • Pre-installed Thermalright AXP90 X36 low-profile cooler

  • Onboard LILYGO T-Display S3 (1.9" color LCD with 2 buttons)

  • USB-C power cable (ensure you have a power supply that can deliver 5V/3A)


🧰 What You’ll Need

  • A 5V/3A USB-C power supply

  • Wi-Fi connection

  • Access to your AxeOS dashboard (via browser)

  • A Bitcoin wallet address to receive mined sats


🔄 Step-by-Step Setup

1. Power It Up

Connect your NerdQaxe++ to a stable 5V/3A USB-C power source. You’ll see the LCD screen light up and begin to load the AxeOS interface.

2. Connect to Wi-Fi

  • On the first boot, the NerdQaxe++ will create a Wi-Fi access point (AXEOS-XXXX).

  • Use your phone or computer to connect to that network.

  • You’ll be redirected to a setup page where you can enter your local Wi-Fi credentials.

  • Once connected, the miner will reboot and join your local network.

3. Find Your Miner on the Network

Visit http://axeos.local or check your router for the device’s IP address.

You’ll now have access to the AxeOS dashboard — your command center for managing the miner.

4. Configure Mining Settings

  • Go to the "Miner" tab in AxeOS.

  • Enter your pool settings (public-pool.io) - this is the default but you can change it anytime!

  • Simply look at the screen, it will tell you the IP address to access the AxeOS
  • Add your Bitcoin wallet address as the worker name

  • Hit Save & Restart

That’s it — you’re now mining!
