Ok so running a BitAxe on my own nostr:npub1aghreq2dpz3h3799hrawev5gf5zc2kt4ch9ykhp9utt0jd3gdu2qtlmhct using nostr:npub1wtgd9ccg76awlp29zl3h466l89wr7hsut0n3ucmtr95h4t29jc6srlsxp2 is fucking cool.

After a week of hashing away I have a question though: which block template am I using?

Right now I just run the software and point my node to it. I don’t really know what I’m (and what I’m not) including in the blocks I’m mining.

Does anyone have more info on this topic? Would be cool if I can further configure my pool (and block template).

I posted similar thoughts/questions yesterday, and after not getting any engagement I searched and found your note.

My note is here:

I watched the logs on my bitaxe for a while today and saw all the stratum client and server messages. I couldn’t figure out how to decipher the nbit field, but it’s clear that the local public pool instance is lowering the difficulty like all pools do. Like you, though, I’m very interested in the block template origin.
