Bitaxe Settings & Options, Part 2/4

[@DoEverythingDerek]

Excited to get mine, thanks for the video!

[@JacobFrey]

Some more detail about the 2 different Stratum Hosts and the additional fields would be welcome. Host, Port, User, and Password. You did essentially cover the Host field, but the rest were left a little cloudy. Thanks for the awesome content!

[@VortexBitcoin]

That’s actually provided by the pool itself and it’s different for every pool :)

[@JacobFrey]

@@VortexBitcoin Thanks. My recommendation would be to say something similar to that in a video like this. Love your channel, looking forward to the content!

[@floriankaiser4902]

Firmware 2.4.5. is available ... i found no changelog 🤔

[@Wolfgang93981]

Thanks for the information

[@sd-pv6it]

how do i set up the stratum user u mentioned that it should be set my us, i am in public pool but i need to set up stratum user. do you have a video that shows that?

[@MomentoMori769]

I 2nd this please...

[@ikust007]

Really super

[@charitywilson1425]

Thanks for you videos! I now have 3 Gammas running on one power supply thanks to you! Can someone explain what "Best Difficulty" means and how to gauge this with how close I am to mining a block?

[@VortexBitcoin]

Ah yeah, I meant to discuss this in the video but forgot heh. You can google for any site that tells you the current bitcoin mining difficulty. For example, right now it’s 108T. www.coinwarz.com/mining/bitcoin/difficulty-chart To solve a block, you need to meet or exceed that difficulty. Your best difficulty shows how close you’ve gotten, likely somewhere in the Million (M) or Billion (G) range.

[@charitywilson1425]

@ That makes sense now, thanks! My highest difficulty is 4.5G so far so I got a ways to go lol but having fun nonetheless.

[@takagienterprises]

How do you change the color on the dashboard?

[@VortexBitcoin]

If you have one of the newest firmwares, it’s in the settings

[@robbi450rr1]

since there's 2 diff 4 pins for the fans, is there a way to add another fan and if so, what is the rated watts so that it is not over working the voltage regulator,, if it even pulls power from there? on another note the voltage going in, can it be set to 5.1V-5.2v to ensure the volts don't drop below 5? curious if whether or not the higher input volts will result in better voltage regulator temps and possibly more stable hash rates.

[@BLEACH500]

Yes but you need a adjustable power supply and be careful if you ever turn it to high the chips will explode

[@charitywilson1425]

One more question: Should I expect to get bitcoin via transaction fees for adding transactions to blocks with the Bitaxe Gamma?

[@BLEACH500]

You only get paid if you pool mine and its pennies a day if you solo mine you might hit a block and get $300,000 but you may never hit a block in 1500 years

[@leokolev]

​@@BLEACH500yep, not with this miner ..

[@PhilippeCJR]

Did you already update to 242?

[@VortexBitcoin]

Yep

[@leokolev]

Bitcoin's block have difficulty more than 100 T... This miner can maximum get to difficulty about 10.8G, or 0.018T It's not realistic to get any Bitcoin blocks... Never with this miner...

[@TheJoeyboots]

Uff 😵‍💫

[@TheJoeyboots]

If I get 1 block I am happy. 1st toe in water.

[@leokolev]

It's not realistic to get any Bitcoin blocks... Never with this miner...

[@TheJoeyboots]

@@leokolev Really never? Can you get a part of a block in a pool? Not one block possible 0.00000013 BTC No? 0.0134 of USD? Is that why its called a lottery miner?

[@leokolev]

@TheJoeyboots Yes, I mine with the pool for 7 months, make about 3 cents per day... This is your cut for this small miner, and I have 5 of them... With big ones I have about 24 cents per day... But they pulling about 1000w per hour...

[@TheJoeyboots]

@leokolev your running 5 bitaxes?

[@leokolev]

@TheJoeyboots yes, different types, they all on my small solar system, so I'm saving on electricity
