Hi nostr:npub1qtvl2em0llpnnllffhat8zltugwwz97x79gfmxfz4qk52n6zpk3qq87dze

Some feedback from a new BitAxe miner.

I got my miner a couple of weeks ago and immediately joined the OCEAN pool. I regularly had issues, which I assumed was the miner,

i.e. the miner appeared to work, but it gave errors and regularly showed it was disconnected from your pool. I power cycled it most days. I thought I had a duff miner, but was going to live with it.

Then you had your outage, I’m sorry, I hope you are managing to recover.

So I started solo mining on the ckpool. Since I joined, the solo mining pool, I’ve not had a single issue. TBF, I also moved WiFi APs as I wasn’t certain if it was a bad WiFi connection.

I haven’t rejoined OCEAN yet as I was aware you were, quite correctly, concentrating on your large miners.

As my miner appears to be working just fine and potential WiFi AP issues aside, is it possible you have any issues with your pool coping with small miners like BitAxe?

I am aware that as you attempt to decentralise mining and fulfil your DATUM ambitions, you are going to attract more and more home miners who buy products like the BitAxe or Braiins miner to support the network.

With Very Best Wishes

A novice miner.

Tip: if you want to test your miner, you can try mining a testnet pool. But right now it would take quite a while to win a block, though you may get some shares

We have a higher min difficulty most likely.

This makes stats more erratic but doesn't make any difference to rewards.

Thank you 🙏

May I be a pain in the arse newbie once more please?

I'm trying to deep dive on mining, I have a lot to learn, but I can't get past "Mining for dummies" on any video or written platform. I've purchased books, watched YouTube and read various articles. It's either too deep or too dumb.

I'm technical, I understand the concepts and the basics, I wish to know more than a regular home miner would want to know.

Do you have any recommendations?

I am lucky with pool,braiins.com which sends me 33 sats every day!
