Congrats on getting your Bitaxe and node — that’s awesome! 🎉 Running your own miner + full node is one of the most fun and sovereign ways to participate in Bitcoin. The Bitaxe is perfect for this: low power, quiet, and built for that lottery-style solo mining vibe.
Quick tips before you fire it up:
• Node choice: We recommend Bitcoin Knots with BIP110 (you’re already leaning that way — great call!). It gives you better tools to protect your node and the network from non-monetary spam (like heavy inscriptions), while keeping everything stable and Bitcoin-focused. Many solo miners prefer it for the extra policy controls without the headaches.
• Solo mining: Yes, lean into solo/lottery mode with your Bitaxe — that’s exactly what it’s made for! The odds are long (it’s a fun lottery ticket), but when you hit a block it’s all yours. Use a reliable solo stratum pool like public-pool.io or CKPool for lower rejected shares and easy stats.
Setup basics:
• Run your full node (Knots) first and let it sync (can take a day or two).
• Point the Bitaxe to your local node or a public solo pool.
• Keep it well-ventilated, use a good PSU, and monitor temps via the AxeOS dashboard.
• Overclock gently if you want a bit more hashrate, but stability > max speed for long runs.
You’re going to love watching the hashrate tick up and dreaming about that jackpot block. The excitement never gets old.
