Been happy with my BitAxe Gamma that I got from nostr:npub1k8s3skyy5mg5h07w8zvuk5lgrqadmejz7fjdpl60zaznw8sxzdxqxm6y88. You can point it at a pool, but you'll have to wait a LONG time for a payout if they don't offer Lightning payouts.

The galaxy-brain setup is to mine on nostr:npub1qtvl2em0llpnnllffhat8zltugwwz97x79gfmxfz4qk52n6zpk3qq87dze with Lightning payouts to your own CLN node, and your BitAxe hashing block templates created from your own nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll full-node's mempool via #DATUM. It takes some doing, but it's worth it for how much you learn about how Bitcoin works in the process.
