History

The bitaxe project restarted open hardware bitcoin mining by leveraging existing ASIC chips with fully open source mining firmware and control. To further that effort the 256 Foundation has hosted Telehashs to raise funds to sponsor open software/hardware developers. OpenSats has sponsored open projects and developers across the world. Those sponsorships have fostered multiple projects to reestablish open software and hardware as the future of bitcoin mining.
