Hi everyone, I set up my Bitaxe miner yesterday, but it’s not hashing even though all the settings seem correct. I've double-checked the power, connections, and pool configuration, updated to the latest firmware but no luck so far. Has anyone experienced a similar issue or can offer any troubleshooting tips?

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Does it show anything on the screen?

The screen is on. I see the fan speed etc etc and 0 for the hash(took a photo)

Check that you've entered the right details and port for whichever pool you're using.

I double checked the mining pool details and they are ok… weird

There's a bitaxe group on telegram. Maybe best to ask there.

Mine didn't work out of the box. Flashing new firmware using the UI wasn't entirely stable. I think the UI required the firmware update in two parts (main+web assets, I think)

Finally had to use wantclue's flasher which you will need a chome based browser to update. This firmware updates both parts that you would have had to do in the UI update process. I found it cleaner and it worked right away after setting up the settings. https://github.com/WantClue/bitaxe-web-flasher

Be sure to join us in OSMU (Open Source Miners United) Discord.

https://bitaxe.org/ has useful links to the discord, wantclue's flasher and more.

Thank you. I updated both parts but still hash rate is at 0. I will try another mining pool later to eliminate this possibility…
