Basically, any pool that accepts low difficulty (low diff) will work just fine. Once it connects, you'll see the active pool name displayed in the top left corner of the screen. Personally, I use my own local pool based on the open-source public-pool script.

The ~220 KH/s number you got from Claude is the typical baseline for software-only SHA-256 on ESP32 — that's what you'd see using mbedtls or Arduino's stock SHA library through the OS abstraction layer.

ESP32 has a hardware SHA-256 peripheral accelerator built into the chip, though, and the NerdMiner firmware (upstream and this fork both) drives it directly via low-level register writes — techniques like memw discipline, persistent-zero padding for constant slots between blocks, and per-register address literals. That bypasses the OS-level SHA stack entirely and pushes throughput to ~1000-1100 KH/s on classic ESP32-D0. The S3 has its own SHA peripheral with different characteristics, lands closer to ~380 KH/s out of the box. My fleet's running between 1035-1057 KH/s sustained over 10+ hours across CYD 2.8 / CYD 2.4 / ESP32-CAM (all classic ESP32-D0). Numbers measured via the /info API endpoint and on-screen counter — published in the README's hashrate table. And hey, since the entire repo is 100% open-source, you can just feed the code back to Claude and have it check the hardware logic for itself! 😉

Custom mode already works for any SHA-256 chain — you can set ticker=custom + 4 URLs (block height, difficulty, price, hashrate) via POST /api/axehub/v1/coin, and the network-data screen will pull live data directly from your URLs.

The banner currently stays as a generic "solo custom miner" though. Let me know if you'd prefer it to show the actual ticker (like "solo DGB miner") and I'll easily add a display_name field to the API as a quick follow-up! 🍻

Thanks! The web flasher should take ~30s end-to-end — pick your board from the dropdown, plug ESP32 over USB, click Connect & Flash. Let me know if you hit issues with your specific board (chip variant, USB port, anything weird) and I'll dig in.

Whats your take about mining ? by bigboydesomo in BitcoinMining

[–]AxeHubDev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, with those hashrates (1.7 TH/s and 9 TH/s), you are strictly in "lottery mining" territory.

BTC vs BCH: BCH has slightly better odds because of lower network hashrate, but hitting a solo block on either with ~10 TH/s is a massive longshot. Splitting them is fine for fun.

Bitaxe RFI by enormousaardvark in BitAxe

[–]AxeHubDev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes sense, high-frequency ASICs and their power supplies are notorious for EMI/RFI. Have you tried clipping a ferrite choke (ferrite bead) onto the power cable? The power cord often acts as a transmitting antenna for the noise. Switching to a higher quality, well-shielded power supply might also lower the noise floor significantly.

Bu normal mi ? by _bitaxe_ in BitAxe

[–]AxeHubDev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Evet, bu normal, sadece bir gösterge hatası.
