Bitaxe Lotto Miner

Hello Testo crew,

here he is... the Lotto Miner. Thanks again to @stefan_21 for the tip and the help.

I immediately made a small update and bought another fan because the standard fan was too loud in my eyes.... The recommended Noctua NFA4x20 5V PWM is great!

I also increased the core voltage to 1100. Runs stable and has no peaks below 1 Th/s.... now runs on average at 1.3 Th/s. I can only recommend it to you @stefan_21 .

Fan is currently running at 55% and keeps the 60 degrees.... inaudible... Well invested 15 € !

But I'll also try the higher volts again and see how it is with the temperature.

Jannis from Solomining.de is a really great guy. Super good contact.

If you have any more questions, please let me know.

Regards

Testo

How much power does it draw when running 24/7?

@Alpalaka at 20w consumption so 3-4€ month

@Testo-Investor So you need 5000 years to find a block. 215 euros cost price, 4 euros per month on top.
Gosh, 240,215 euros per block in costs, the price and output of BTC per block would remain the same and your device would now last 5000 years. Really worth it. Solltest dir für deine Urururururururururururururururururururururenkel noch mehr davon hinstellen.

And by the way, it consumes 876 MWh. That's equivalent to the annual consumption of 100 households. Blown into the air by Testoking for 3 BTC. You can't imagine. I hope the green police find your grow farm and take you down :)

Cool! Congratulations - and fingers crossed that the next block will be yours or that of @stefan_21 😘
I'm still debating whether to buy/build my own node first and then get the Solominer - or buy the Solominer first and attach it to a public mining pool ...
OR don't do any of that and just buy $BTC with the money instead 😂

Do you have your own node or are you in a public pool?

@Ash of course😘
I also use a public pool instance that I host myself :D
I'm still looking to see if I can publish the pool page... then anyone who wants to could join :)
But for now I'm trying to finish writing Bitcoin for beginners part 2😂
Let me know if you also have a Bitaxe, then you'll get the connection data for the pool :)

@stefan_21 This is an Ulanzi tc001, which is also not that expensive. It's available from Amazon, among others.
If you install awtrix as custom firmware, you can display virtually everything. In my case, the values come from Mqtt and are updated there via Home Assistant.

Can you briefly explain how this works? Is it more of a gimmick or is it really profitable? Does it run 24/7 for you? How do you get the earnings into the wallet? Greetings and thanks in advance

•

•

Testo-Investor@Testo-Investor

1Wk

@wealth_architect_2053 You connect the device to your WLAN, then enter your wallet address and off you go. You don't actually have to do anything else. You'll just be on a public pool, which is fine. Yes, it's actually just a gimmick because the probability of finding a blog with the computing power is very, very low. Yes, it runs 24/7, it's really just about finding this whole blog of 3.125 Bitcoin. You don't get smaller sums sent to the wallet.

Are there actually any usable "Plug n' Play" parts for people who don't want to deal with it? So plug it in, enter a wallet or something and you're done? Lotto for fun. My plan would then be to switch on/off via a Shelly socket as soon as the balcony power station delivers a surplus :-)

On whattomine.com you can see which currency is best to mine with your hardware. You have a computer anyway. Linking to Shelly will be difficult, but you can also use tesmviewer to control the miner remotely, just manually.

I find the nerdminers nicer and the latest one also runs 1.33 Th/s do you only use it for solo mining or do you go into a community pool?

Question: there have already been comments here saying "Connect to power, connect to WLAN, enter wallet address, done"
If you then join a pool, does that increase the probability of getting a reward? Or is there an overview of different pools to compare them?

I also bought a Noctua fan - I also placed the other one on the back - lowers the temperature a bit more :D
What frequency are you running it at?

•

Testo-Investor@Testo-Investor

1Wk

@stefan_21 1100 seems to be top for me.... Fan quiet at about 60% and average 1.3th/s..... at 1060.... I had extreme performance drops under 1th quite often ... temperature is kept at 60 degrees .... 1150 there the fan must turn almost 80% ....

@Testo-Investor and frequency? So the 1100 core voltage at what frequency?

@stefan_21 max what's up ....636....

••

Stefan21@stefan_21

1Wk

@Testo-Investor currently have 1080 × 650... also seems to run well and is slightly above 1.3 TH/s...
Temperature is stable at 65 degrees...

636 is actually not the max value. You can also turn on the "overclock" mode and then you can pretty much set what you want. I've already played around with it a bit. But it's dangerous because in the worst case you could break the device😂

@stefan_21 thanks :-) test it straight away. Have you tried 700 ?

••

Stefan21@stefan_21

1Wk

@Testo-Investor yep... also ran without any problems. But I was afraid that it was too high and went back down to 650😂
But I read up a bit in the forums and apparently if you have less than 1% error shares within 15 minutes of starting, ideally 0 of course, the miner is running correctly. So you can give it a try :)

@stefan_21 yes i'll have a look and run 650x1100 for now ... it only makes a marginal difference anyway, doesn't it?

Stefan21@stefan_21

@Testo-Investor at 650 I think you have around 1.33 TH/s and at 700 it goes towards 1.37

They also run a mining pool (https://pool.solomining.de/#/), but no block has been found there yet, so in principle it seems to me that the chances are much greater than trying to do it all alone. Are any of you already mining there?

Would you rather recommend a Bitaxe or a cheaper model from e.g. Nerdminer which @stefan_21 once presented. To be honest, I would do it more out of my affinity for gambling than because I really know my way around it😂
