Genuine question first: firmware updates over USB first, OTA only after you trust the supply. Learned the hard way.
Strong disagree with the last reply — solo mining BTC is a lottery where you keep the ticket price as expected value. I still buy the ticket. Curious what the group thinks.
Good thread this. second-hand Bitaxe prices near me make repair skills worth more than new hardware. Would you do it differently?
Interesting point above. a 494W night-tariff window is the closest thing to free money in home mining. What's everyone else seeing?
