Oddbean new post about login | logout Anyone using a single #bitaxe to solomine. What is your experience and any hints and tips before I commence the great bitcoin block mining lottery?
Not much to it. Plug in setup wifi and bitcoin address and you hashing
Thanks for the encouragement as I am not very technical. It might be a fun little exercise.
I have no computer skills at all and i hqve 2 running waiting to order 2 more. Thats how easy it is 🦾
I have 2 Supras running at the moment. Super easy to set up and uses very little power. Very little noise from the fan. There are some options for upgrading the power supply (recommended) and fan for over clocking. It’s been a great experience for me as a beginner and it’s helped learn about #bitcoin mining. Waiting on the #bitaxe Gamma to be released to upgrade my set up! It’s worth getting one even just help decentralize the network.
Solo mining wasn't worth it for me so plugged in to Ocean to collect SATs and help decentralise mining. Together we are strong!
Sorry to say, but all things considered, bad! Just my two sats.. nostr:nevent1qqsxhv56p84ephasxa7f46p7k5hqjf6tc5dnve99dsdaa68v30pv57cpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezumt0d5hsygp3vkuqyu4eh0ze6c5kgy385lxgjlmvxea9lgtjnq574wj2nagaxupsgqqqqqqs8us3dr
Thanks for the honest feedback. Yep, if your chances are 1 in 5,7M every day then you hope it lasts more than a week!
Yes but this isn't even my main issue. I can easily plug it out and in and it will boot in a minute and continue hashing but I'm really disappointed regarding privacy. All full node solutions I know of were built with privacy in mind so I expected something similar. Tor, easy VPN setup or at least Stratum v2 so that the communication would be encrypted, but nothing like that. Unfortunately.
