i appreciate the spirit of the idea but restricting it to just bitaxes is probably not the best approach, imo. i think running your bitaxe using DATUM running through your own node does more to empower homeminers, and allows you to join any pool that adopts DATUM.

but i suppose a fork of public pool that shares rewards of a mined block and only allows bitaxes would be possible.

hell you could do this right now running your own DATUM service, and just run it yourself and only allow bitaxes to connect 🙂

I do not know what DATUM or a DATUM service is, but doing a quick Google search, it gives me some idea.

Because I have some technical inclination, I will look into it — who knows, maybe for fun I'll start a little side project 😉. Thanks for the tip!

here is a guide:

i run mine via nostr:nprofile1qqs9df4h2deu3aae83fmet5xmrlm4w5l9gdnsy3q2n7dklem7ezmwfcpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsz3rhwvaz7tekd3jks6rev3ehyargv9nk66tnxe6h2dn5w43kuerk0fmnwcm4vfc8z6mgweu8j7fhdfhkjmmrxs6k66mnwg6x2cty9ehku6t0dchsz9mhwden5te0wfjkccte9ehx7um5wghxjmnxduhs5nd6j2 so i can only connect local network machines, but if ur technicakky capabke ti run outside start9, you could expose so others can connect their miners and just manually filter connections for only bitaxes to connect, something like that 🤷‍♂️
