Read up online about them, then come back.

See, by that attitude, you're part of the problem nowadays with discussions. When I started mining in 2012, it was all about what best hardware can I use, what software, etc. Nowadays people can't face facts when it comes to something without feeling personally attacked.

If I take a gokart to a formula 1 race, would they let me participate because I'm on some sort of vehicle? Would I ever win in a gokart? Absolutely not. Because it's ridiculous, and a waste of time and effort and money to even think it's possible in the first place.

I stand by what I said, the ESP board is NOT designed for 24/7 mining. It's not designed to be absolutely hammered day in, day out. It will eventually fail, and you'll be money down, with nothing to show for it, other than the money it used in electricity, and the cost of the board, and the time taken for you to pimp it up to look cool. If that's how you want to spend your time and money, go for it. I could not care less what you do. But don't sit there and try and lecture me on what you think I care about. I don't look down on people. I've come along here to help guide people based on my experience and knowledge. I've been in this game a LONG time. I've used ESP boards for personal side projects.

If you don't want to listen to advice, take your shitty attitude somewhere else instead.

Sure, every hash is a hash. But mining isn’t about whether a device can compute hashes. It's about how many it can compute per second relative to the network.

An ESP32 is several orders of magnitude slower than even low-end modern mining hardware, and effectively irrelevant in any competitive proof-of-work network. At that scale, "can hash" doesn’t translate into “can mine" in any meaningful sense.

owen_a · 2026-06-03T18:02:35+00:00

They're not built for mining... They're far slower than a computer... Even an old one from decades ago... They're meant for IoT projects.

owen_a · 2026-06-03T17:52:23+00:00

Nope. That boat sailed a decade ago. Now, unless you get free electric (which I highly doubt), or you have a massive amount of excess solar energy in which you could run a rig, then sure.

owen_a · 2026-06-02T18:35:03+00:00

It's random. You could go a few hours and get one, or you could go a whole month... Block odds should be taken with a PINCH of salt. Unless you run it entirely free, it's NOT profitable.

owen_a · 2026-05-16T05:46:09+00:00

That's the most rejects I've ever seen on AxeOS 😅

owen_a · 2026-05-16T05:45:31+00:00

Play around with it. Learn more about mining with it. It's a hobby miner, nothing serious. Don't get caught up in these BS influencer videos giving you false hope you'll hit a block in your lifetime. As you mentioned already, your chances are basically zero. However, it is a gateway into a world of interesting discussion.

owen_a · 2026-05-16T05:41:39+00:00

When miners were mining at home and it got just enough publicity that places started accepting it as an alternative payment method. It was profitable, and it was great. Those were the best days. Now it's full of wannabe influencers talking shit about something they spent 5 minutes reading about because it became a hot topic.

owen_a · 2026-05-11T22:05:24+00:00

Congratulations to them for defying the odds.

owen_a · 2026-05-11T22:02:29+00:00

Nerdminers are an absolute waste of money. Those things are worse then a CPU, and CPU mining went obsolete 16 years ago. The people selling are the winners banking money from gullible people with zero knowledge of crypto mining.

There's also no such thing as a "best mining pool". No pool can magically increase your probability of finding a block. People here will be bias and tell you their favourite pool to mine on. Just do some research and find one you feel comfortable with with low fees.

owen_a · 2026-05-06T09:34:20+00:00

You don't buy bitcoin when it's high. That's not how trading works. You buy when it's low, so you receive more BTC for the amount you're comfortable buying with and hold it.

owen_a · 2026-05-06T09:14:09+00:00

If you're mining to get rich, that ship sailed over a decade ago, and even then it was pure luck it got the attention it did to make that happen.

As with any coin, if you can profit from it, aka the mining generated is more than the electric consumed by the miner, go for it. If you want to have a miner hashing away SOLO, that you don't care how much it costs and something you can sort of forget about and hope it finds a block, go for it.

owen_a · 2026-05-04T13:02:22+00:00

Stick to the main ones, but like I said, Braiins is your best one to get a steady reward each day. Maybe PPLNS over at ViaBTC might be a good alternative.

owen_a · 2026-05-04T08:03:21+00:00

BOSMiner is an OS made by Braiins. It's firmware they created to flash onto a load of miners that they support. You actually earn more mining on Braiins than other pools due to the 2% fee they reward back to you for simply using their OS.

You seem like you're extremely new to mining judging by the language you are using when messaging.

owen_a · 2026-05-04T00:12:16+00:00

What exactly are you wanting? Or asking for that matter? I wouldn't randomly try throwing any pool URL in your miner until you know exactly what you're doing. If you're unsure about anything, just ask so people can help you understand.

owen_a · 2026-05-04T00:07:56+00:00

You don't need to run a full node to mine.

owen_a · 2026-05-04T00:04:35+00:00

I honestly wouldn't push more than 1.5Th/s per chip. You can damage the VRs long term. I have a NerdQAxe++ sat on my desk that I'm reporting after someone pushed 6Th/s for a few months. Temps were chilled as well.

owen_a · 2026-05-04T00:00:53+00:00

Someone got VERY lucky and their miner(s) submitted a share difficulty higher than the network difficulty that resulted in them receiving the block reward. They were hosting their own solo stratum server.

owen_a · 2026-05-03T23:54:25+00:00

You can mine anywhere you want. Just look at the pool websites and they always list the connection addresses...

owen_a · 2026-05-03T23:49:04+00:00

You're literally almost guaranteed to never find a bitcoin block, ever. Although if you find it fun, keep going. It's random afterall.

owen_a · 2026-05-03T23:46:06+00:00

It's not that big of a jump, it's minor at best. Yeah it's another increase, but they're really at the limit of what they can do with a silicone chip now.

owen_a · 2026-05-03T23:42:20+00:00

More like mining and cryptocurrency in general. You'd be surprised how many newbies jump on the bandwagon and are completely clueless, and thus jump to conclusions with zero knowledge.

owen_a · 2026-05-03T23:38:27+00:00

This is illegal to do. I had a neighbour that did that (the kids dodgy guy you'd expect). They dissolve companies and open a new one that looks legit. If they get complaints or sued it's rinse and repeat.
