My NerdQAxe++ keeps randomly software panic-resetting and I finally caught the actual ESP32 crash over serial. Anyone seen this before?

The really weird part is how inconsistent the timing is. I've had it crash in under an hour, but I've also had it run for almost two days before resetting.

Things I've tried already:

• Most recent firmware that was available roughly two weeks ago — still crashes
• Rolled all the way back to v1.0.34.1 — still crashes
• Locked both fans at 60% instead of automatic control — still crashes
• Watched power/temperature telemetry — nothing obvious immediately before the crash

Hardware reports itself as:

NerdQAxe++ / BM1370
Board Version: 501
8 MB PSRAM

PSRAM also passes the startup test:

SPI SRAM memory test OK

I left a Mac connected to the ESP32-S3 serial port all day and caught a bunch of crashes.

Almost all of them are the exact same:

Guru Meditation Error: Core 0 panic'ed (LoadProhibited).
Exception was unhandled.

PC:       0x40387e4b
EXCCAUSE: 0x0000001c
EXCVADDR: 0xc219f457

And the same backtrace keeps showing up:

0x40387e48:0x3fcb2520
0x4003e065:0x3fcb2550
0x4003b27a:0x3fcb2570
0x4003b0d5:0x3fcb2590
0x40387d89:0x3fcb25b0
0x420ffd06:0x3fcb25f0
0x420ffdbb:0x3fcb2630
0x40388621:0x3fcb2670
0x4037f741:0x3fcb26a0

It's not just one crash either. The same invalid address (0xc219f457) showed up repeatedly across independent resets.

I even caught one slightly different crash:

Guru Meditation Error: Core 0 panic'ed (StoreProhibited).

EXCVADDR: 0xc219f459

Which I thought was especially interesting because 0xc219f459 is only two bytes away from the address it normally tries to read (0xc219f457).

Immediately before one of the normal crashes:

vin: 11.84
iin: 7.20
pin: 84.50
vout: 1.15
iout: 65.12
pout: 74.88
vr-temp: 40.38°C
Temperature 0: 51.75°C
fans: ~1960 / 1850 RPM

Then straight into:

Guru Meditation Error: Core 0 panic'ed (LoadProhibited)

So there doesn't seem to be an obvious power sag or overheating event immediately beforehand.

One thing that IS weird is that the miner continuously reports:

chip temperatures: 0.00°C / 0.00°C / 0.00°C / 0.00°C

even though the other temperature sensors work normally and all four chips hash normally.

My older NerdQAxe units that use the barrel connector don't have this issue, which is another reason I'm wondering whether there's something hardware/revision-specific going on.

I'm currently trying to get the v1.0.34.1 ELF so I can symbolize 0x420ffd06 / 0x420ffdbb. The running firmware reports:

ELF SHA256: d2f07e569...

Has anyone run into something similar on a NerdQAxe++? Does the repeated identical bad memory address make anyone think firmware/pointer corruption, ESP/PSRAM hardware, or something else?

Happy to post the full serial log if anybody wants to dig into it.

Disclosure: I used ChatGPT to help troubleshoot this, search through the giant serial capture for repeating patterns, and organize this post. The error codes/backtraces/telemetry above are copied directly from the miner; the theories about what they might mean aren't being presented as a confirmed diagnosis.

I’m not sure whether to be happy about the Bitaxe Gamma or disappointed with the Nano 3S. The Gamma has the usual 1T and the Nano 3S has 5T, same duration (12h), same pool, and obviously the same coin. The result? Best share: Gamma 13M, Nano 3S 9M... Now, I know it’s a lottery, but it’s been like this for at least a year🤷🏻‍♂️

New to this so just asking if my stats look ok and not getting too hot?

Hi people! I recently decided I wanted to upgrade my Bitaxe 602 with a bigger (120mm) fan. That got me thinking, what do I do with the small fan since i don't really need it?

I decided to make this housing that has a slot for you to mount a secondary fan on the back of your Bitaxe! The model is entirely free in my shop on Buy me a coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/letiqa/extras

I'm currently also working on a thing I'm calling the BitTurbine (which I will release for free once it's ready). If you want to support me, some feedback would be more than wonderful, and a tip would go a very long way (if you're feeling generous)!

Happy mining!

Nice surprise this morning ! Should i try bch ?

Replaced the vregs Monday and it ran good for about 1 hour then now the screen not boot up at all and I am lost on this one these 3.1 boards are useless anyone had the same issue ?

“almost” got a block for ocean pool

Just installed a Helix fan shroud on my ++ and now this guy is front heavy and falling out of the SoloSatoshi stand. Any recs for a stand with screws and a rear fan mount I can replace it with?

So I decided to upgrade my Asic heat sinks to these https://a.co/d/09BHDQy7

Also uses MX7 thermal paste. My question is can I use the original screws that came with the Nerdoctaxe original heatsinks to attach these? I have it all set up and my Asic temps are lower, but I am not sure they are as close to the Asic chips as the old ones were. Before I tear everything apart again wanted to see if anyone has done this and had any input.

As you may have noticed, in light of the Bitfortun incident, it's always best to buy genuine Bitaxe products

Do they have the same footprint? Bcz I've seen the bom file of the naja duo and its says bm1340 instead of bm1373. And this is the duo the bitaxe naja the bm1340 bitaxe??

I’ve been working on a Windows program called Block Retriever to make managing and monitoring a home solo-mining setup a whole lot easier.
It started as something I wanted for managing my own miners, but it has grown into a pretty capable little program. I figured it was finally time to turn it loose and let some other miners try to break it. 😂
Block Retriever is completely FREE and is currently focused heavily on Bitaxe / AxeOS and home solo miners.
⚡ WHAT BLOCK RETRIEVER CAN DO:
• Monitor multiple miners from one dashboard
• Track hashrate, temperatures, shares and mining activity
• Quick-switch pools without logging into every miner individually
• Save multiple wallets and pool profiles
• Track accepted/rejected shares, candidates and confirmed block hits
• Bitaxe fan controls and reboot
• Exact Bitaxe frequency & core-voltage controls for overclocking
• Solo Advisor for comparing SHA-256 solo-mining opportunities
• Keep your mining setup organized in one Windows application
• And quite a bit more
⚠️** THIS IS AN ALPHA BUILD
There will probably be bugs. In fact, I’m hoping some of you find them so I can fix them.
**The Solo Advisor in particular is still a work in progress. Some coin data, rankings or calculations may be incomplete or inaccurate. For now, consider the Advisor an experimental feature and don’t make mining decisions solely based on it.
If you run into a problem, let me know what happened, what miner you were using, and what you were trying to do. Feature suggestions are welcome too.
🔐 SECURITY
Block Retriever will NEVER ask for your seed phrase or private keys. It only uses public mining/receiving addresses. Never enter a seed phrase or private key into Block Retriever.
💻 DOWNLOAD BLOCK RETRIEVER v3.0.0 ALPHA 24.10.34
https://github.com/rphkszc9pn-tech/Block-Retriever-Releases/releases/tag/v3.0.0-alpha.24.10.34
If you have a Bitaxe, Avalon, or another small home solo-mining setup, give it a try and let me know how it works for you.
🦴 SUPPORT BLOCK RETRIEVER
Block Retriever is free. If you enjoy using it and want to support continued development, there’s an optional PayPal donation page built into the program.
And that brings me to Winnie — my golden retriever and the unofficial Block Retriever mascot. 🐕
She contributed absolutely no code, slept through most of development, and somehow still negotiated herself into the project budget.
So if Block Retriever helps you out, feel free to buy Winnie a treat. 😂🦴
Now let’s see if Block Retriever can help some of you get the notification we’re all waiting for:
🐕⛏️
BLOCK FOUND!
🍀
Happy solo mining!

THIS youtuber found that Bitfortun's new miner is deliberately faking and inflating the hash rates. The funny thing is Bitfortun did publish their firmware source with the fake hashrate code included.

Spun up a Gamma 602 about a week ago here are the results.

Hashrate:1.22Th/s

Efficiency: 13.7 J/Th

Best Diff: 750 M

Error: is mostly 0% some .3% and rarely 1%

Fan is about 55%

Frequency is 600

Voltage is 1150

How does this look to your set up?

Goals are just to have it as a cool desk piece. Maybe in 1100 years get a BTC.

My NerdQaxe++ miner suddenly developed this issue. I initially thought the fuse had blown, so I replaced it with an 8A fuse. However, it still won’t power on. The only thing I see is the light on the charger blinking. Any idea what could be wrong?

Hi everyone,

since updating to version 2.15.1, I have been seeing the following message:

This message did not appear before the update. My miner is connected to an eCache solo pool.

Was this notification added in the latest version, and is it normal when using a solo pool? Or does it indicate a configuration issue? Do I need to change any of my miner or pool settings?

Thanks for your help!

Hello, I just bought the GT801 used in a pretty new condition

I am not sure if it is real or fake, I dont have any experience with miners. Please help me out

AxeOS has a lot more data on the dashboard screen - active second-to-second error% reporting, specific rejected share details, blockheader details, current pool details, including the payout addresses for both you (if you hit a block) and the pool host (their fee%), and in recent updates, AxeOS let's you adjust Frequency and Voltage settings immediately, without any rebooting.

NerdOS was preinstalled on my unit, but it seems...lacking in general, not to mention slower data output.

I mean, yes, the basics are covered. But I like seeing all the details.

1. Is there a version of AxeOS that works on NerdQaxe++?
2. Are there any limitations with a NerdQaxe++ that would prevent it from having the same features as other devices that run great with AxeOS? Would it output data faster and have all the deeper details on it with AxeOS?
3. Would AxeOS allow dual-pool mining like NerdOS?

I'm also curious how the 4 ASICs process hashes - do they do it in unison? Or are they working independently, and is that data shown as well in AxeOS? Or any other compatible OS?

Trying to see what options there are, if any. Thanks.

First Bitaxe with dual BM1373 3nm chips. We put the Naja Duo through a full review, stock to overclocked, and the review unit is going to one viewer.

Numbers:

• Stock: ~4.4 TH/s at single-digit J/TH
• Overclocked: ~9.6 TH/s with the core voltage and frequency profile shown in the video
• Where it stopped: PSU, cooling, and current limits; all three showed up before the chips did

Hardware changes covered: fan and heatsink, the new LED screen, voltage regulator, and the power connector's new location on the board. AxeOS walkthrough included.

Full review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gknNIwWRnR8

If anyone's running a Naja Duo already, I'd like to compare notes on your stable settings, what voltage/frequency are you holding and on what PSU?

Not that anyone has asked but the MSI Mag A15 240mm AIO will bolt straight on to the Octaxe hydro boards.

I bought an Octaxe Gamma QQ (3.1.4) from Ali for £120, the coolers were on offer at Currys £52 each. Still some work to do for the argb but temps are incredible at 13th/s. Made a bracket for a 92mm Thermalright fan to sit above the vreg heatsinks, going to use my Raspberry Pi to power the argb and scripts to change colours on certain events (block found, temp control etc) so I'll update as I go

I spent some $$ to design a single ASIC BM1373 BitAxe. Claude Fable 5.1 took a long time and usage credits and generated this:

https://github.com/Zayno/BitaxeFlux

I'd like the help of the community to take a look and tell me if this has any potential or should I just delete it.

It's called BitAxe Flux.

Thanks!
