So the expertise and software around the bitaxe is really valuable. They have the only maintained open source mining software currently in the wild TMK. They're also documenting the chips in a way that's never been done by bitmain. However, as a serious project that can put up hashrate, the bitaxe is not. The platform is silly: The ESP32 is an awesome platform, but in this case, it's only ever going to drive about 6 ASIC chips. There are dozens of ARM chips in the +80Mhz range that can drive hashboards of 40-50 chips, but that's not what they went with. A custom board is silly: The open source hardware motherboard is cool. But it's so difficult to keep ICs in stock in 2020-21 that even bitmain said "eff it" and just flipped a stock BeagleBoneBlack for a board. As soon as Skot puts an IC on a PCB, it's already stocking out, and that bit needs a possible redesign. Each IC that's added increases the probability the board can't be fabricated. Their asics approach is not serious: The cheapest $/Th/w can be had from old undervolted chips that are at the very end of their service life. And they're already soldered on hashboards by the dozen―and they're already waiting by the pallet full for anyone to use. There is no need to fiddle with toasters, traces and desoldered chips etc., just connect the 18pin ribbon to an old hashboard and go. They're not going to use the cheapest power. The idea of plugging a board into a DC solar panel directly and mining opportunistically is cool, but it gets cost prohibitive as soon as batteries or super-capacitors get involved. The firmware has to be extremely good at utilizing whatever instantaneous power is available without any kind of storage or inversion. They're content to run on DC stepped down on their workbenches for now it seems.

Over 51% of sha256 hashrate is now in a country that may not have a peaceful transition of power in a year. The infrastructure is also concentrated in far right separatist areas. Section 4 of the 14th amendment has a clause to nuke money... It might be nice to have a viable contingency in case all that hashpower went rouge.
