FAQs

  • We supply a curated range of ASIC miners — compact, efficient, and designed for Australian homes and small-scale mining setups. All units are tested, locally supported, and ready to plug into your solar system.

  • If you have excess solar energy during the day (when feed-in tariffs are low or negative), you can use that power to mine cryptocurrency instead.
    Rather than selling your power back to the grid for cents, you use it to generate digital assets like Bitcoin (BTC) or Bitcoin Cash (BCH) — increasing your potential return on free energy.

    Your potential pay out will vary on a number of factors. Read our page on Solo mining for more information.

  • You’ll need:

    • A stable internet connection

    • A power outlet or solar setup

    • One of our ASIC miners (we’ll help you pick the right one)
      Optionally, you can join a mining pool to earn smaller, more frequent rewards — or try solo mining for the chance at a full block reward.

  • Earnings depend on:

    • Your miner’s hashrate

    • Electricity cost (ideally $0 if you’re using solar, with or without a battery)

    • Mining difficulty and network rewards

    • Whether you mine solo or in a pool

    Use our Solar Mining Calculator to get real-time estimates of potential returns, including live BTC/BCH-to-AUD conversion.

  • A mining pool is a server that miners connect to in order to submit their work. While many pools split block rewards among all participants, some pools—like CKPool—are designed specifically for solo mining. In a solo pool, miners using devices like Bitaxes and NerdQaxe++ units still mine independently but benefit from a stable stratum connection and proper share handling. If you find a block while solo mining through a pool, you receive the entire block reward (minus pool fees) because you’re not sharing it with anyone else.

    With devices like BitAxes and the NerdQaxe++ you of course have full freedom to join any pool of your choice and mine any cryptocurrency of your choice (as long as it follows the SHA-256 algorithm).

    • Local Australian support & warranty - Rest easy knowing we are a local business. Don’t get stuck in foreign disputes that could take weeks or months to get resolved if you have an issue.

    • GST included — no import duties or customs issues.

    • Fast shipping — no 4-week wait from China.

    • Solar-focused setups and easy-to-use calculators
      We help Aussies get the most from their excess solar energy while contributing to crypto decentralisation locally.

  • AU-CKPool is an Australian-based solo mining server optimised for local miners. It delivers low latency, fewer stale shares, and rock-solid uptime while still preserving true solo-mining rules. If your miner finds a block, you keep the full reward, making it perfect for Bitaxe and NerdQaxe++ owners across Australia.

    Do you’re own research on what pool is right for you. Here at Crypto miners Australia, we just think AU-CKpool is pretty neat!

    Solo mining means you’ll only get the whole block payout if your device finds a block, but with free solar energy, the risk is minimal. We actually recommend you use our miners in this orientation, However you should do your own research as individual strategies will differ.

    Our calculator helps show you your odds per year and the current block reward for both BTC and BCH.

  • By mining from home using your own solar power, you’re contributing to the decentralisation of crypto — keeping the network secure, distributed, and clean.
    Every ASIC running on Aussie solar power helps reduce reliance on centralised, fossil-fuel-based mining operations overseas.
