I received my #bitaxe earlier this month.
Now just trying to select a pool. And I'm too late to join the Alliance from nostr:nprofile1qqs9kqvr4dkruv3t7n2pc6e6a7v9v2s5fprmwjv4gde8c4fe5y29v0sppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qythwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnwdaehgu3wvfskuep0qythwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnswf5k6ctv9ehx2ap0gjy0fu
Looking at:
- Ocean for LN rewards (but needs Knots, which I don't want on my main and only node for now)
- Solo CK
- Public Pool (on my Start9)
Any recommendations?

First, do you want to do lottery mining or pool? From the list you share, the first one is for pool mining, you will receive small LN Payments (if you configure it), the other two are commonly used for lottery, if you know and test the setup in testnet to be sure that you will receive the BTC, go for public_pool in your local environment, if you don't go for solock.
There is the option to run datum in your localhost and select your block template and use that to connect with ocean. You don't need knots.
Thanks for the insights.
I'd rather get a regular stream of sats, however small, that I could use for zaps. But I don't want to change my Start9 setup right now.
So, I just set up Public Pool, and I'm lottery mining:
But you said I may not need Knots - do you have a guide to share for that? I could look into it next.
I can't get a link to a guide right now but searching for Ocean + coinos could give you a hint. The main "issue" (or not) with ocean is that you need a bolt12 ln invoice, if you run a CLN node it's easy, if not, you need some kind of proxy that let you create that bolt12 invoice, coinos is the default setup many people is using and you could connect with nostr with NWC and zap with your mining btc.
So...
- First, you need a wallet you own and can sign with it
- Then you need to create a BOLT12 invoice (coinos)
- Sign with your wallet a messages and configured in Ocean
I get some kind of tutorial: https://stacker.news/items/851025
Docs from ocean: https://ocean.xyz/docs/lightning
Hope this help you in case you want to use that.
Thanks, man.
I couldn't zap this note, so I zapped your address directly.
