- Mining Bitcoin with RPC and ASICsMar 22, 2026
What you're asking for is basically solo mining. There's a couple of open source pool servers out there already e.g public-pool (GitHub) and CKPool (BitBucket). You can simply compile them and run it. They talk to the…
- Discussion about Testnet4 MiningMay 8, 2024
I just don't understand why people spam the TestNet with hashrate for no reason. If you're testing software, mine a couple blocks and stop. I recently tried to mine with 1Th/s testing some software and even after three…
You should turn this into a website that visually shows the graphs. Then use some software that generates it itself. Self maintaining then
It just goes to show the randomness. It's the same sort of with small bitcoin miners. The amount of years it would take with 500Gh/s or 1Th/s for example, is crazy. But, someone did find a block with that amount of…
- mining with solar power and batteriesNov 20, 2018
Some people just want to run something to potentially hit the jackpot. It helps with decentralisation too instead of letting the large pools have the monopoly over the network. You'll spend more buying lottery tickets…
- mining with solar power and batteriesNov 20, 2018
A lot of people are buying small miners now just for this. It's of course a lottery. There was a single BitAxe that found a block back in July with only 500Gh/s.…

You could solo mine to help with decentralization. The Avalon Nano 3's pack a punch (4Th/s) and use about 125Watts. You could buy a few of these and have them solo mine on your generated power whilst still exporting to…
- mining with solar power and batteriesNov 18, 2018
If you wanted to mine for fun and solo mine as a gamble, your best bet is to find something that uses very little power. I have a few BitAxe's that use 15W each that run fine on a much smaller system than yours…
- I just don't get itMay 26, 2018
Majority of them are just scams. There's no way on earth that you would mine anything worthwhile from a mobile phone. Back in the day when we could CPU mine, sure, you might have earned something. However, today it's…
- Hashrate marketplace optionsMay 12, 2018
Wow, they're still going? I remember pointing my Bitmain Antminer S3 there around 2015/2016. It seemed fine. Albeit it was a very basic site then.
- tiny mining poolSep 16, 2017
With 11.5Th/s I have now, I'm happy with that. That's about a 1 in 431k chance per day of finding a block. Much better odds than the lottery here still. That's about 300watts of power, and if you know UK prices of…
- tiny mining poolSep 15, 2017
Just over a couple of months now. I've been on and off with GPU mining whenever my electricity prices go cheap enough to make it profitable (I'm on an agile tariff). But when I came across the BitAxe, an open source…
- tiny mining poolSep 15, 2017
I run a solo pool currently and we're at around 70-80Th/s. It's friendly for small miners and mining farms. I have about 5 BitAxe's and 1 Avalon Nano 3 pointed to it, and a few people i've talked to have Nano 3's…
It's hard to calculate since it varies so much. The worst period is between 4-7pm since it jumps up to 30p+. So those times are no goers. As for attempting to ROI, yeah you're right. It would take significantly longer,…
Have you heard of Octopus Agile? Your prices change every half an hour and are lower on average than the 0.23p/kWh. The other day they actually paid me to use electricity due to the prices being negative (thanks to the…
