Pretty sure it’s on there from memory, try connecting to the community App Store instead of the official start9 supported one. I could be wrong 😑
Oh nice going to check that out
That would be cool, I have not looked but datum on start9 would be awesome if you’re mining against ocean.
CK pool has been around since the early days, and the bitaxe that won the reward this year was mining on CK. CK has very well connected nodes that have consistently allowed small solo miners to win. Also the other options are probably fine too.
Yup and maybe “public pool” on your start9 node which I’ve never done.
You don’t need lightning with a solo pool because a solo pool will just send whole coins (!) to the address you’re using. Lightning is only used for smaller payments because the transaction fees on chain for repeated payouts might eat too much of the reward up - hence use lightning instead if you’re mining with a small amount of hash on a collaborative pool.
No unfortunately there is no way to do both at the same time. People have talked about a mixed model pool before but it doesn’t exist.
I run against CK because I’m 100% confident I’ll get paid.
Here is the Dutch pools site
Ocean is good - I had my start9 core lightning setup against ocean for smaller payouts. Again, it’s a collaborative payout pool. You might think you’ll get extra “credit” for hitting a block but not the case.
You can swap between both too - both are fun just be aware you’re not getting anywhere close to a block payout if you’re on a collaborative pool.
Not really the two choices you have are:
1. Mine on a collaborative pool like brains or ocean and setup lightning to get micro-rewards. If you hit a block you still only get a micro reward.
2. Mine solo on CK pool or public pool or if you search Nostr you’ll find a Dutch pool where a lot of bitaxes mine. You will get zero rewards (you won’t need lightning) unless you hit a block but if you do you’re getting a monster payout.
If your start 9 is synced I think you can also spin up a “public pool” instance which connects to your own node and lottery mine against that.
🙌 this is awesome and a single chip is equally capable of mining a block than anything else. I forget mine is even running.
If you do hit a block on brains you’re going to get paid 25 cents for it because it’s a collaborative pool (also if you do some research and are anti antpool you’ll find that unfortunately braiins = antpool).
I run mine on ck solo pool which is easy to connect to.
A tradfi looking to acquire Bitcoin customers and a platform could do worse than buying Swan.
I figure the best orange pill focuses on:
1) how many people do you know that own bitcoin? [still early]
2) I used to think it was pointless but then I read some books and changed my mind [do your own research]
3) here’s $10 of bitcoin to play with just download X off the App Store and I’ll send it to you [encourage real life experience and playing with it]
I think aside from giga brains you need a solution to a problem before you appreciate or are open to Bitcoin.
Same - it’s obvious, even if you just spend an hour reading about Bitcoin. Most people don’t and it seems crazy to them.
What would Qubes be? Separate grinder, metal coffee pot on the stove and a milk frother? Disclaimer I don’t put milk in coffee that’s weird.
