Braiins, the company formerly known as Slush Pool, has unveiled a new piece of hardware called the Forge Miner. It’s a stackable, desk-scale Bitcoin mining rig built around a Raspberry Pi that pushes 4.8 terahashes per second.
The Forge Miner is aimed squarely at solo miners and hobbyists, the kind of people who want to run mining hardware at home without turning their living room into a server farm.
What Braiins actually built
The Forge Miner pairs Raspberry Pi hardware with Braiins’ own software stack for control and operation. The “stackable” part is the key design decision here: users can physically stack multiple units together, scaling their hashrate incrementally rather than making one large capital commitment.
The design also includes customizable airflow panels, which Braiins says are part of iterative improvements focused on cooling efficiency and noise reduction.
