Yep, currently running against ckpool, but I also want to experiment with running against a locally installed full node on the PI.
One more question, do you earn small amount of #sats even if the block is not rewarded to you? I'm interested in buying bitaxe but not sure if it's profitable or not.
Not when solo mining. It's all or nothing. To earn steady amounts, you'll need to join a pool where you get paid based your hashrate.
