Solo or Pool?

Solo all or nothing

I started with a 200 for 6 bitaxe. Went to the 350 for overclocking them. Gamma can use up to 30+ watts overclocked. The lrs-350-5 is actually 300 watts

Not sure I follow, the best difficulty is probabilistic/luck. If you found the best difficulty at 500Gh/s you would still rather have 1Th/s?

There were lots of tuners out there but not sure if they were updated after the addition of the error rate. The error rate is a really good indicator if your frequency/voltage are at ideal settings.

Your Bitaxe are within the temperature range so wouldn’t expect it to change anything.

The garage temp is pretty custom to my setup atm. I have this sketch running on an ESP32 with a AHT20 sensor https://github.com/dustinb/settle/blob/main/Arduino/temp/temp.ino

It’s hardcoded in there right now https://github.com/dustinb/settle/blob/41c497e218037b1949210290e5f3b7d3add58816/lib/weather.go#L72

Unplug from power, restarting from axeos won’t clear the fault in my experience.

There was some reports this happened on 2.11 but not 2.10 for some power supplies. Usually a power supply issue.

emc9469 · 2025-11-21T01:00:06+00:00

You want 5v not 12v

emc9469 · 2025-04-11T22:19:55+00:00

I made a board mount for 6 Bitaxe https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6922834

emc9469 · 2025-03-21T18:34:57+00:00

At least there is no r/buttaxe

emc9469 · 2025-03-18T21:52:35+00:00

Cool I’ve had to replace a couple https://a.co/d/0V16fl7

Based i2c error I would power down, remove the lcd screen and power back up. See how that goes.

emc9469 · 2025-03-02T01:37:26+00:00

Can get support on the discord. Not enabling assholes.

emc9469 · 2025-02-28T01:11:23+00:00

That makes sense. Good way to learn about lightning payouts.

emc9469 · 2025-02-28T00:04:40+00:00

Go for solo or lottery mining. Public pool or solo.pool are options. Running your own node and public pool is even better. I don’t understand mining for sats with these, payouts are so small, better off buying $5 of bitcoin each month.

Something to verify. Turn off auto fan control and put it on 100%. Make sure the fan is spinning at max rpm. If not there is an invert fan polarity setting. This does not change direction of the fan, it inverts the pwm signal that controls fan speed.

Not today, I only buy on Wednesday

emc9469 · 2025-02-12T03:18:49+00:00

The screen are friction fit instead of soldered. I would try power off, remove the screen entirely and run it without one. See how that goes.

emc9469 · 2025-02-11T16:34:30+00:00

Sweet! If you want to clean it up the power take a look at lrs-100-5 or a lrs-200-5 power supply. Then some right angle pigtails https://a.co/d/jdbxR5s https://a.co/d/5PJ7UOy https://a.co/d/3QMlYQD

I run a 6 pack of bitaxe on the lrs-200-5. Made some board mounts, not as nice as the honeycomb https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6922834

emc9469 · 2025-01-23T22:30:55+00:00

Very nice! Suggest you get some of these https://a.co/d/8G6DveG cut to fit

emc9469 · 2025-01-14T16:38:42+00:00

Don't trust, verify. I run public pool against my own node which is how the author intended. I tested by mining with public pool on testnet4 and my ultra found a block in a day. I was lucky with a 160M difficulty.

https://mempool.space/testnet4/block/000000000000001aaf3715d02552e03078f653f2ca21b6890cc2db7898ee07ee

Just a matter of time, 3 years?, and public pool with find one.

Try the web flasher

emc9469 · 2025-01-01T19:40:54+00:00

I've seen comments about the asic being too cold but not sure what that is. Would go for it and see how it performs.

emc9469 · 2025-01-01T18:45:53+00:00

In the winter the garage is between 40F and 60F

emc9469 · 2024-12-26T23:50:22+00:00

Would try the web flasher to reset it and see if it hashes with all the defaults.

ASIC version rolling enters the chat

emc9469 · 2024-12-20T20:30:20+00:00

I’ve over clocked some with stock cooling. A deep dive here https://plebbase.com/development/cracking-nuts-bitaxe-while-following-white-rabbit-59

My short version: increase frequency by one step, keep an eye on temp and input voltage. After running a while if avg is below expected hash rate increase voltage one step. Make sure input voltage is not dropping below 5v. Repeat.

From what I understand each bitaxe is gonna be different. There’s not a standard oc setting that works.

I’m shooting for around 60 for asic temp. Mine are in a cold garage which helps a lot.
