Is this a Google WiFi setup? I’ve heard from a few folks having trouble there.
Some miners travel easier than others… 
It’s Kate, Grand Central, let’s hit it! 
Solo mining into a multisig is an interesting idea. I suppose you don’t need any special pool software to do this.. any solo pool will do. If you want to host this yourself, the easiest way is public-pool on Umbrel.
We have a pretty break neck release schedule, so there is always a “next generation” around the corner! Hopefully they are cheap enough to dive in whenever you’re ready.
Cheapest by far is to manufacture them yourself. Details at bitaxe.org

The Bitcrane is a Antminer controlboard replacement hack/tool. It has USB, but is not a higher-power device like a Bitaxe.
This is the issue exactly. Even USB-C PD with the chip you mention can’t provide enough power at 5V. I’m working on this for larger multi-chip Bitaxe though.
Standard USB-C PD does not provide enough current at 5V for the Bitaxe 😭 so it’s a little more involved change. But we’re working on integrating this into a future model!
I heard for every 1000 Bitaxe sold nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx will smash a closed source miner live on RHR!
nostr:npub1vwf2mytkyk22x2gcmr9d7ktprakh6llwpzxqlke8rlv5j0qyx2esf2lxtw and I did a teardown. It’s well built. ASICs are a bit dated, but noone really cares in home mining. The only thing I can’t figure out is how they made it so crazy cheap.
nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx What was the $99 chinese rig you mentioned? I've got some free energy I want to draw down at 110
They were talking about the Canaan Avalon Nano3. It’s not really $99; they charge extra for the PSU. And AFAIK those cheap units are back ordered.
Solid machine though!

#Bitcoin #BitcoinAnd
Hey, thanks for the #bitaxe shoutout and discussion! I think you nailed it on the motivation behind the project. There are a couple more interesting use cases, which I’d be happy to discuss with you if ya want. Lmk!
“I love the Bitaxe!”, says nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx as nostr:npub1guh5grefa7vkay4ps6udxg8lrqxg2kgr3qh9n4gduxut64nfxq0q9y6hjy shows off his quite stylish bitaxeSupra 🤘 
I think Nostr is really catching on in Latvia! 
Definitely seems possible, although I don’t have any immediate plans to build it. When Ethernet BLOCKCLOCK? 😉
