Houston-based Solo Satoshi has launched the Bitaxe Turbo Touch, a compact open-source touchscreen bitcoin miner designed for hobbyists and home users seeking a transparent mining device.
The company said the unit delivers roughly 2.15 terahashes per second (TH/s), more than double the hashrate of other touchscreen miners in its category, and can exceed 3 TH/s when overclocked.
“We built this because we believe the tools people use to interact with Bitcoin should be fully verifiable,”
Said Solo Satoshi founder and chief executive, Matt Howard.
The device is built on the open-source Bitaxe GT 801 platform and uses dual BM1370 ASIC chips, the same hardware used in the industrial-scale Bitmain Antminer S21 Pro.
The Bitaxe Turbo Touch includes a 4.3-inch capacitive touchscreen displaying real-time metrics such as hashrate, bitcoin price, block height, and recent blocks sourced from mempool.space.
The miner runs on two open-source firmware layers — AxeOS for mining operations and BAP-GT-TOUCH for the touchscreen interface — with both software repositories and hardware schematics publicly available.
Solo Satoshi said the device consumes about 43 watts of power, produces around 35 decibels of noise, and costs roughly $3.70 per month to operate at typical U.S. residential electricity rates.
At the time of reporting, Bitcoin price was $71,207.32.
