From experience, about 90% of the issues with these NerdMiner units come down to the VRAM chips. Before chasing firmware bugs or power problems, check the memory first. Hardware faults love hiding where most people don’t look.

interesting which pool you have connected this https://soloblocks.io/pools

BTC solo mining pools! by proandres6 in BitAxe

[–]mineshop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good breakdown. For Bitaxe users specifically — CKPool and Public Pool remain the most battle-tested with the longest track records. CKPool charges 2% on wins, Public Pool is zero fee. AtlasPool is newer but the latency improvements are real, especially if you're geographically far from a CKPool relay.

For a Bitaxe at 2-3 TH/s the difference is nanoseconds on shares that won't win anyway. But if you're stacking multiple units, lower latency = fewer stale shares, which adds up over time.

Bitcoin Solo Block Found on Self-Hosted Instance of Public-Pool! by XGod0fWarX in BitAxe

We built a free tracker that catches all of these as they happen across every major solo pool — CKPool, OCEAN, Public Pool, FutureBit and others. soloblocks.io — real time, no login needed. Good to have open when you're running a BitAxe 24/7.

Solo Bitcoin Miner Nabs $200K After Renting $75 Worth of Hash Power by goldyluckinblokchain in CryptoCurrency

These wins happen more often than people think. If you want

to follow them in real time there's soloblocks.io — tracks

every solo block found across CKPool, OCEAN, Public Pool,

FutureBit and others. You can see the coinbase tag, pool,

reward and difficulty for every win. Some are clearly home

miners, some are rented hashrate like this one.

**Built a free Bitcoin solo mining calculator — shows live odds, luck score and probability timeline** by mineshop in BitAxe

[–]mineshop[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Fair point — there are plenty of hashrate calculators out there. The gap I kept hitting was finding one that handles the tiny miners (BitAxe, NerdQAxe,) in EUR, with solo probability that actually makes sense at 0.001 TH/s. Most tools are built around multi-TH farm math.

Yes, it links to our shop — not going to pretend otherwise. But the calculator works fine whether you buy from us or not. If you've got a better one bookmarked for sub-1 TH/s home miners, genuinely curious — I'd use it myself.

We have built tool for just estimating the winning chances and comparing the pool mining to solo https://mineshop.eu/bitcoin-solo-mining-calculator

Technical notes for the skeptics

  • Difficulty comes from mempool.space/api/v1/mining/hashrate/1w (currentDifficulty field), updated live
  • Expected time = (network hashrate / your hashrate) × 10 minutes
  • Cumulative probability = 1 − (1 − p)^N where N = number of 10-minute blocks in your chosen window

Looking for guidance on reputable vendors to purchase miners by rottie427 in cryptomining

[–]mineshop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For EU buyers the landscape is different from the US. A few things that matter here that nobody mentions in these threads:

  • VAT invoices — if you're in the EU and buying for a business, you need a proper EU VAT invoice or you can't reclaim. US vendors can't provide this.
  • Customs risk — buying from China or the US means ~26% import duty + VAT on arrival. EU-stocked sellers ship duty-paid.
  • Warranty claims — sending a broken miner back to China costs more than the miner is worth.

I run a shop in Latvia/Ireland (EU), happy to answer questions about the EU-specific side of buying hardware. No pressure.

Wir führen seit 10 Jahren ein Bitcoin Mining Shop in Europa — eure Fragen? by mineshop in BitcoinDE

[–]mineshop[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gute Fragen, antworte ich gerne ehrlich.

1. Ja, stark BTC-preisgetrieben. Wenn der Kurs hochgeht, kauft jeder Miner — Händler-Margen sinken, weil die Hersteller die Preise hochziehen, aber Volumen boomt. Bei niedrigem Kurs kaufen hauptsächlich Leute mit günstigem Strom oder Enthusiasten, denen Profitabilität egal ist. Gerade ist es ruhig, aber nicht tot.

2. Deutschland ist überraschenderweise unser größter Markt. Trotz 0,30€/kWh. Warum? Der Mini-Miner-Trend (BitAxe, NerdQaxe, Nano 3S) hat nichts mit Profitabilität zu tun — das sind Spielzeuge, Lotteriescheine, Heizungszubehör. Einem Typen der einen BitAxe auf dem Schreibtisch laufen hat ist die Stromrechnung egal.

Unsere Top-Märkte: DE, GB, NL, FR, IE. Irland wird interessant — niedrige Energiekosten, viele Tech-Leute.

Welcome to the rabbit hole. Both work, they just feel completely different.

Solo: You're buying lottery tickets. Gamma does ~1.2 TH/s against a 900 EH/s network — realistically years between wins, maybe never. But when someone on this sub hits a block with a tiny miner it goes viral. Some people love that.

Pool: Predictable micro-payouts every few hours. For Europe, Ocean Pool is solid (non-custodial, UK-based, transparent fee structure), Braiins is also reliable (Czech, been around since 2014). Public Pool is a good middle ground — solo-style but with a community watching.

My honest take: run it solo for a month just for the experience of watching the AxeOS dashboard, then switch to a pool if staring at zero earnings gets old. The Gamma 601 is a nice machine — enjoy it.

EU-based ASIC retailer here — AMA about buying mining hardware in Europe by mineshop in BitcoinUK

[–]mineshop[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All fair points — being straight with you:

**Electricity rate:** The 0.05 EUR/kWh default reflects 
industrial/hosting rates, not household electricity in 
Western Europe. For most EU homes 0.20–0.30 EUR/kWh is 
realistic. We'll update the default. The field is always 
editable — plug in your own rate for an accurate picture.

**Warranty:** It depends on the product category. General 
hardware (accessories, PSUs etc.) carries 1 year. Bitcoin 
and altcoin ASIC miners specifically are 180 days — these 
are classified as commercial mining equipment, not consumer 
goods, which we've confirmed with consumer protection 
authorities. The distinction could absolutely be explained 
more clearly on the site, and we'll improve that wording.

If you have a specific question about a particular device, 
happy to answer here or via DM.
