The AP is 3 feet away, so probably not signal power.
With RSSI and PMF disabled, it's reduced to every 2 - 3 hours. I'm logging the stats from the bitaxe on a separate machine now, see if something weird happens just before it reconnects.
Also logging some findings here: https://github.com/skot/ESP-Miner/issues/164
Doesn't mention source.

New smash hit in Dubai.
Something is amiss with Primal, it shows I'm following 1600, while Amethyst and kind3.xyz are showing 2341 and 2345. 🤔
I have to thread carefully here.
Hey nostr:npub16c0nh3dnadzqpm76uctf5hqhe2lny344zsmpm6feee9p5rdxaa9q586nvr, not sure what's happening here on nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg web? I just want to follow one more person, as you do, but now this pops up.
Looking at the merkle branches that mining pools send to miners as part of stratum jobs, it's clear that the BTCcom pool, Binance pool, Poolin, EMCD, Rawpool, and possibly Braiins* have exactly the same template and custom transaction prioritization as AntPool.
Stratum v1 jobs include (parts of) the coinbase transaction and the merkle branches a miner needs to compute the merkle root. If all branches are equal across pools, the block template is exactly the same.
This is a smaller merkle-tree with the stratum job branches highlighted.
Here, branch0 is the txid of the first transaction in the block after the coinbase.
In the AntPool/Binance/BTCcom/.. template, it's a manually prioritized transaction paying 9.03 sat/vbyte https://mempool.space/tx/c938e8027a7fba782a092695a53d37654021bf20df71ca91b4a6daa9198b0c73
Many of the other pools didn't prioritize a transaction and included the highest feerate transaction https://mempool.space/tx/96608dc747677d6dfbc3a2b37f8a0146abae132799b13c130066bd3716fdf91a paying 301 sat/vbyte. ViaBTC prioritized another transaction and has a vastly different template.
This indicates that F2Pool currently is not using the AntPool templates, even if they share the the same custody provider. We know from multiple occasions that F2Pool has been building their own templates (https://b10c.me/o11, https://b10c.me/o9, https://b10c.me/o8)
Note that SigmaPool and SecPool both seem to share the same template (distinct from AntPools template). Two names, but probably one pool.
Some overlap in the first branches of distinct pools is expected as these branches consist of few (usually high feerate) transactions. For example, Ocean's "default" and "core" templates overlap up to branch3. At least the first 15 tx (2⁴ - 1) in the template are equal.
* similar to EMCD in the picture, Braiins sometimes differs from AntPool in the later branches of the template. This could indicate they're only helping with AntPools transaction accelerator and directly syncing with AntPools mempool, causing occasional differences in templates.
I've heard speculation about this all being liked to an FPPS partnership with AntPool/Bitmain.
Bitmain insures against bad pool luck but you have to use Bitmains templates/transaction prioritization and pay the mining reward to the insurer for later distribution.
Essentially a pool of pools and a lot of mining centralization.
Can this be automated into a website? How difficult would that be?
Recent movies I saw:
Spaceman (2024): quant sci-fi, I liked it. Very non-blockbuster. Don't watch the trailer, my guess is going in blind will improve it. Unless you have severe arachnophobia.
Dune 2: Visuals are impressive but I found it sometimes difficult to follow the motivations of people. Switched to reading the books for now.
Wicked Little Letters: Mostly true story about a 1920s small British town getting rocked by foul-mouthed letters. Enjoyable light entertainment.
Perfect Days: Mesmerizing movie about a public toilet cleaner in Tokio, trying to find beauty in everyday things. One of the slowest movies I ever watched, but loved it.
No, it's on a much smaller timescale. This is 20 minutes on a BitAxe, that's already a 10% difference, and it keeps going up and down. Temperature and voltages look completely stable. It must be something about the calculation.
Although what I did notice is that the measuring points are sometimes further apart than other times, so maybe it's something about the template distribution? Lots of tx's on the top of the fee range coming in makes a lot of new templates, which makes it slow down?
Dumb question maybe, but why is the hash rate of a miner not stable? What makes it fluctuating so much? #asknostr
I think there was something on my machine eating CPU, making everything slow and unstable. Apologies!
I think that site got slash nostred.
This is not a creepy way of getting up. No, not at all.

Disabled it. 🤞
Not sure if there's anything in the BitAxe/ESP32 side that could improve this. I have a 3 AP mesh in my house, and disabling all these things could impede with normal usage quite a bit.
