Running a business means constantly weighing risk, reward, and long-term upside — and every now and then, an opportunity comes along that taps directly into that entrepreneurial mindset.
The BlockChance™ Bitcoin Ticket Miner and the BlockChance™ Bitaxe Bitcoin Miner both fall into that category. They aren’t just gadgets, they’re micro-miners designed for business leaders, tech professionals, and forward-thinkers who appreciate low overhead, future-leaning experimentation, and potential “asymmetric upside” — when the possible reward is much greater than the potential risk or downside.
And right now, each model is available for a limited-time price: the Ticket Miner for $59.99 (MSRP: $149.99) and the Bitaxe Miner for $199.99 (MSRP: $299.99) — both with free shipping.
Whether you’re a founder who likes tinkering with new tools, an IT leader who is curious about Bitcoin infrastructure, or a numbers-driven operator who sees value in optionality, these compact solo-mining devices offer a fascinating way to participate in the Bitcoin ecosystem.
Two different paths into solo mining
BlockChance Bitcoin Ticket Miner:
Think of this one as a low-power, always-on “Bitcoin lottery ticket generator.” The Ticket Miner uses probability-based solo mining, pushing 1,000 KH/s — roughly 18× more hashing power than typical ticket miners. Each day, it submits thousands of “tickets” for a shot at capturing a full block reward.
It’s not designed to mine daily payouts. It’s designed for the thrill of asymmetry — small energy draw, very remote odds, very high upside. A startup founder would call it “optionality.” A quant would call it “tail-risk exposure.” A business owner might simply call it “interesting.”
With a built-in 2.8″ touchscreen, Wi-Fi/BLE connectivity, lifetime firmware updates, and whisper-quiet operation, it’s a simple and fun desk addition for anyone who understands the appeal of “one lucky block.”
