 This is an opportunity to BITAXE dealers on AliExpress to clear their inventory the F out. And if it gets people onboard and understanding how mining works, I’m all for it. Adoption is adoption ✔️

 Just understand your odds and what you’re buying. For education, for fun, or for playing the mining lotto, it’s a great device.

 I think so too… it’s a great first step before any kind of scale up. Bewildered someone actually solved a block w/one.
Odds are actually much higher than the lottery, methinks 🤯

 At current global hashrate a single Bitaxe would represent about a1 in a billion chance every block. Pretty slim chances 😅 Incredible that this person got a block, and according to the ckpool admin they had only been mining on that address a couple of weeks 🤣
