Ok, firstly - way to go dad!! So, how do you do this "daily"? I have two Bitaxes with combined hashrate of 2.6THs, I have them solo mining and hoping for the BIG payout. Is there a way to have them mine a small number of sats every day instead? #asknostr
I set my daughter up with a simple lightning wallet and taught her about how the machines in my office mine a little bit of BTC to her address each day.
It's a fun way to get my kids involved and learning!
If you want to do the same, here's a playlist of different home mining devices.

Yep the Bitaxe is configured to solo mine by default. If you want a steady trickle of a few sats (and I mean a trickle - this is not a money maker) you need to point it to eg. Braiins or another mining pool. Plenty of resources out there on how to configure.
Fantastic. I never thought the trickle config was even an option, so this is new to me -I'll go hunt down the details. I can guarantee I'll hit more sats than I have blocks, so something is better than nothing - and it's really just to show my kids how it works. Thanks!
I got both Bitaxe pointed to #Braiins and my lightning wallet configured pretty easy. Looks like 30-80 sats per day potentially! Not life changing but it will fund zaps!
For this example I pointed my hash at Braiins Pool and linked my daughter's lightning address for daily payouts. There's various ways to do it, but for starters it was pretty convenient.
This should show you an example of how to set it up. If it doesn't start at the right part, scrub ahead to 21:33
Thanks for getting back to me. This was perfect, I've done the same thing and my daughter is not getting 91 sats a day trickling into her wallet. I got stuck initially thinking I had to flash my Bitaxe with BraiinsOS and was trying to figure it out - but it was as easy as updating the pool info in AxeOS. Much appreciated my friend.
