What is Braiins Hashpower?

Braiins Hashpower is a real-time marketplace for buying Bitcoin mining hashrate (SHA-256 algorithm). It supports various buying strategies, including programmatic API access and automated trading bots.

Overview

Braiins Hashpower is a SHA-256 hashrate marketplace where buyers can acquire Bitcoin mining power on demand. The platform provides real-time trading as well as long-term guaranteed delivery, transparent pricing, and near-instant delivery of hashrate.

The marketplace operates with an order book model, allowing users to place bids (buy orders) at their preferred prices. When orders are matched, hashrate is delivered directly to the buyer's specified mining pool.

How Braiins Hashpower Works

The marketplace trades Bitcoin for hashrate — no other currencies are currently available. There are two ways to buy, depending on how much commitment you want:

  • Spot market — if you want to bid for a price with no commitment, place a bid in the live order book and receive hashrate for as long as your bid stays matched, paying as you go.
  • Contracts — if you prefer steady, guaranteed delivery with a commitment, buy a fixed amount of hashrate for a fixed period at a price agreed up front.

After completing onboarding and depositing BTC, buying on the spot market is straightforward:

  1. Browse the live order book to see current market prices
  2. Place a bid specifying your price, budget, and destination pool
  3. When your bid is matched, the delivery executes automatically
  4. Hashrate is delivered directly to your mining pool of choice as long as the bid is matched
  5. Payments are settled in Bitcoin through the platform during the life of an order in regular intervals (hourly)

The platform displays real-time market data including:

  • Live order book with aggregated asks and bids
  • Price chart with candlestick visualization
  • Current hashprice and basic market statistics

Buying a contract is even simpler — set your terms, check the price, and schedule the delivery. See the Contracts guide.

Ways to buy hashrate

Braiins Hashpower offers a few ways to buy, depending on your goal:

  • Spot market — bid for a price in the live order book and receive hashrate for as long as your bid stays matched, paying as you go. No commitment.
  • Solo Package — a predefined solo-mining package placed on top of the order book for easy setup and instant thrill. The quickest way to point hashrate at a solo target and try your luck at finding a block.
  • Contracts — buy a fixed amount of hashrate for a fixed period with guaranteed delivery and a price agreed up front. A commitment for predictable, planned capacity.

Order Matching

The marketplace uses a dynamic matching algorithm designed to maximize yield. Bids are prioritized by price (highest first), then by age (oldest first). Any modification to a bid resets its age, making it younger in the queue.

Matching runs continuously, and bids are re-evaluated as market conditions change. This means hashrate delivery can shift between bids if a higher-priced or older bid becomes available. For detailed information about how matching works, see the FAQ.

Key Limitations

Braiins Hashpower is currently in BETA. While we strive for reliability, outages, performance issues, or bugs may occur.

  • Pool compatibility: Major Bitcoin pools are compatible, but many non-BTC SHA-256 coins are not supported due to insufficient extranonce2_size offered by the mining pools. See Pool Compatibility for details.
  • No withdrawals: The platform is non-custodial. You are expected to spend your funds on buying hashrate. In case you wish to exit the platform completely contact our Support for arrangements.
  • Delivery momentum: Hashrate delivery has inherent latency. Ramp-up takes some time when a bid starts matching, and when a bid is terminated or runs low on budget, delivery slows down before the budget is fully consumed. When canceled, it takes a minute or two to end delivery and settle.

Braiins Hashpower is available at hashpower.braiins.com.
