PRO TIP

You can now manage your Bitaxe from any device connected to the same network as your miner. Simply check the IP address displayed on your Bitaxe screen, enter it into your web browser, and access the Bitaxe Management GUI.

General Settings

Now that your Bitaxe is connected to your home network, it's time to complete the initial setup. This includes configuring essential settings, such as your mining pool and the Bitcoin wallet where rewards will be sent if your miner successfully finds a block.

Initial Setup

  1. Set primary Mining Pool: We recommend using Publi-Pool.io for solo mining, but you are free to choose any other mining pool that suits your preferences.
  2. Enter Port: Make sure to configure the correct port for your chosen mining pool provider.
  3. Set Stratum User: As a user, you need to set your Bitcoin address. This ensures the mining pool can correctly identify and credit your rewards.
  4. Set Fallback: You can configure a fallback pool to ensure your Bitaxe continues mining seamlessly if your primary pool becomes unavailable.
  5. Reboot: Reset the Bitaxe with the "Reset" button or disconnect it from Power.
