Initial Setup
- 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.
- Enter Port: Make sure to configure the correct port for your chosen mining pool provider.
- 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.
- Set Fallback: You can configure a fallback pool to ensure your Bitaxe continues mining seamlessly if your primary pool becomes unavailable.
- Reboot: Reset the Bitaxe with the "Reset" button or disconnect it from Power.
PRO TIP
Did you know? For the most private and sovereign setup, you can easily run your own mining pool by hosting a Bitcoin node with Liquidbox.
