My #Bitaxe generated a little less sats than my lightning node did over the same timeframe.

The node is improving though.

I just bought a bitaxe and have never mined before, would you mine with a pool or solo?

You can do both.

But actually withdrawing sats from a pool is not really straightforward. You either need a pool that pays in lightning like Ocean or Brains (I think). Otherwise you would never be paid.

Solo is interesting, you might hit a block somewhere over the next 40 years πŸ˜…

In both cases, fun way to learn about mining and slightly help with mining decentralization.

Not to be AcTchUyalLy guy, but you would need 400 Bitaxe Supras to "guarantee" a block in 40 years. 🀯

Just to clarify, I'm running 4 and hoping for the best. πŸ˜‚

Hahaha. I did not exaggerate enough.

Thanks!

Have you learned anything about mining?

A lot actually.

Then that’s worth some sats. It’s why I’m getting one too.

Absolutely. But I also learned a lot about lightning.

Lightning was at least 10 times more complex πŸ˜…

Agreed. Just saying that all of this is worth it.

I always wonder if in the next couple of years we will be helping business set up nodes as a service.

Like computer shops in the past.
