Hammer Miner BC04 6 TH/s Home Bitcoin Miner

The Hammer Miner BC04 is built for the home Bitcoin miner who wants a real ASIC on the desk, not an industrial wind tunnel in the house. It targets around 6 TH/s of SHA-256 Bitcoin mining performance at about 110W, with an OLED stats screen, quiet cooling, and both WiFi and Ethernet onboard.

This is the kind of miner that makes sense for a shelf, office, workshop, garage bench, or apartment setup. Plug it in, connect it to your network, point it at your mining pool, and start stacking sats from home.

The BC04 matters because it sits in the sweet spot between tiny learning miners and big noisy farm hardware. You get enough hashrate to make the miner feel real, but the power draw stays low enough that normal home miners can actually live with it.

Why CryptoCloaks likes the BC04

Real Bitcoin hashrate: about 6 TH/s SHA-256 performance in a compact desktop unit.
Low power draw: roughly 110W stock operation, with tuned profiles reported around 120-125W.
Home-friendly cooling: designed for quieter daily use compared with full-size industrial ASICs.
Simple network setup: use 2.4GHz WiFi or RJ45 Ethernet.
OLED stats screen: see miner status without digging through a dashboard every time.
PSU included: comes with the power supply and cable shown in the product photos.

Setup Instructions

Step-by-step from unboxing to hashing

1. Physical Placement

Set the BC04 on a flat surface with clear airflow on all sides — desk, shelf, or workbench all work. Keep it out of cabinets and away from clutter, dust, and direct heat sources.

2. Power On

Connect the included 100–240V adapter to the miner’s XT30 port and plug into a standard wall outlet. No special outlet or PDU needed. The AMOLED display will light up on boot.

3. Connect to Your Network

The BC04 connects to your home network over WiFi (2.4GHz). Setup takes about a minute using your phone or computer. It is covered in Steps 4 and 5. If you prefer a wired connection, you can skip those steps and plug in an Ethernet cable instead.

4. Connect to the Miner’s Setup Network

On first boot, the BC04 broadcasts its own temporary WiFi network. On your phone or computer, open WiFi settings and connect to the network named something like HAMMER_XXXX.

5. Enter Your Home WiFi Credentials

While connected to the HAMMER_XXXX network, open a browser and go to 192.168.4.1. Enter your home WiFi network name (SSID) and password, then save. Restart the miner from the UI — it will join your home network and display its new IP address on the screen.

Ethernet is also supported if you prefer a wired connection — just plug in a cable and skip this step.

6. Access the Miner Dashboard

The IP address shown on the miner’s display is your access point. On any device connected to the same network, open a browser and type that IP, for example http://192.168.1.105. The dashboard opens directly — no login required.

7. Choose Your Mining Mode

Solo Mining (recommended) — full block reward if you winMine independently and keep the entire block reward. Options: solo.ckpool.org, solo.atlaspool.io

Pool Mining — steady, frequent payoutsCombine hashrate with others for smaller, regular earnings. Options: Ocean.xyz, Braiins Pool, ViaBTC

8. Enter Pool / Worker Settings

In the web UI under Miner Config or Pool Settings, fill in:

Pool URL — e.g., stratum+tcp://solo.ckpool.org:3333
Worker/Username — your Bitcoin address (solo) or pool username.workername (pool)
Password — usually just x

Set a backup pool (Pool 2) for failover in case your primary goes down.
Leave the TLS toggle off unless your pool specifically supports it. Most pools do not.

9. Save and Start Mining

Hit Save/Apply. The miner will restart hashing and connect to the pool. Give it 5–10 minutes to stabilize, then confirm on the dashboard:

Hashrate: ~6 TH/s
Pool connection: Connected
Rejected shares: near 0

10. Ongoing Monitoring

The onboard AMOLED display shows live hashrate and status at a glance. For the first run, stick with stock settings. Confirm pool connection and watch rejected shares before making any tuning changes.

Compare with other home miners

If you want a quiet compact ASIC, this BC04 belongs in the same home mining lane as the Canaan Avalon Nano 3S and the rest of our Home Miners lineup. The point is simple: run a real Bitcoin miner at home without industrial noise or a giant power bill.

The Nano 3S is the heater-style favorite. The BC04 is the desk-friendly ASIC lane. Both are for people who want Bitcoin mining in a real house instead of a warehouse.
