The best-looking miner I think

Just set up my new 8.1T and it’s a beauty. I was looking for something that didn't look like a computer part and this fits my minimalist desk perfectly. It’s quiet and running cool. What do you guys think?

Who's Nerd Miner hit 2.51M difficulty on public pool?!?

https://ibb.co/rfcmL9xN

On public pools main page they show what type of units are connected how much hash they push out and what the top difficulty is, going through the list they obviously have "Nerd Miner" ,which is just the esp32,​probably 2.8 cyd unit (Nerd NOS has its own category), shows one that has the highest diff of 2.51Millon.

That HAS to be a record!

I personally hit 89K difficulty when I ran mine just for fun after a week or so but I had no idea these could go into the millions especially hundred millions!

What's your highest diff with these little units??

pool doesn't matter,just one of the few that have a good list of equipment used and top difficulties,

Nerdminer 2, accidentally put in wrong firmware

Heya, haven't looked at my nerdminer 2 in months. Heard public pool dropped support so I tried to re-set it up with a reboot. Also saw there was a site called Bitronics to update the firmware.

Long story short I believe I uploaded the wrong firmware. Nerdminer 2 now sort of just makes makes a "wrong header log" and makes the windows noise beep that there's an attempted and failed connection.

I've successfully put it into a mode where I "think" it can accept new firmware or boot (holding down the boot button before putting it into power/usb slot) but unsure of what steps to take next.

Board type is apparently: ESP32-0S3 522024 (if you need the rest of the numbers let me know)

Thanks kindly

So I recently got this crypto miner on my birthday on April 21st, it came with some demo firmware on it and I’m searching firmwares for it but I can’t find the correct ones. Anyone who can help?

I just bought a brand new BitDsk N8-T, and it refuses to hash on hmpool.io and public-pool.io, the screen just staying at "Connecting to pool." It also gives an unknown register error in the logs over and over again: CoreModule: Unknown register address: 0x40. It couldn't be the nonce2length bug, because I am on firmware version 1.4.0, and the bug was patched in version 1.3.7. Has anyone else had this problem?

I wanted to give a quick update on some things we've updated across all 3 of our pools. First, we added a new workers stat card to your miner stats page. While we show the workers separately below the stat cards, it now shows how many workers you have any its clickable to bring you right to your individual worker stats.

https://preview.redd.it/35vtfguorpzg1.png?width=1206&format=png&auto=webp&s=43b601ee7fb7cc8c16fadc56ca0211cc27499da8

We figured this was helpful so you immediately know if you have a worker offline with just a glance.

The next thing we changed was something called subscript zero notation. Some miner stats show 0.0000% for their pool share percentage. This is not totally accurate because these small hashrate miners are submitting shares and participating but because of our decimal limitation (which skews the display) it shows as 0.0000. Now it will show your actual pool share percentage with subscript. For example.

Actual Percentage Display
0.0500% 0.0500%
0.00005% 0.0₄5%
0.00000045% 0.0₆45%
0.0000000012% 0.0₉12%

Thank you again for all of your support. The HashedMax community has grown to more than what we've ever imagined. We have some great things coming your way very soon....stay tuned.

So my two "Miner Forge 2.0" Pro's came in the mail today, were assembled and linked to public-pool.io and my wallet. BUT the fallback pool was based in Australia, and wallet was not mine, so I changed the wallet to mine. I checked the wallet on the block and it looks like it has a TON of miners. My wallet shows only one worker when it should show two. The NM Monitor linked to these miners has a "Miner details" dashboard, and shows the old fallback pool link and wallet, not mine, even though I deleted the information. Could they have been hard coded to mine for this wallet, no matter what?

Edit: Screenshots for reference in comments Edit 2: both dashboards now seem to be showing the correct pool and wallet. But lesson learned, Mineblock is a rip-off, never buying from them again.

I've had the BTC HashCard running on my desk for a while now, so here's the unfiltered take.

Short version: Strong hashrate-for-the-money, rough edges around the unit itself. If you tinker, it's a decent buy. If you want plug-and-play, wait a generation.

What works

  • ~12 TH/s, stable. The chip itself hashes cleanly. Once it's running, it just runs. No drift, no weird throttling.
  • Form factor and design. It looks good. For something that's going to live on a desk or shelf 24/7, that matters.
  • Hashrate-per-dollar is the real pitch. At $560 that's where this unit earns its place.

What doesn't

  • Bundled FLEX power supplies. Mine refused to hold a load. Sat at 8W idle, wouldn't fire the chips. Classic transient power issue. Swapped to a SilverStone SST-FX350-G (~60 USD on sale) with a 6-to-8-pin adapter and it ran perfectly. So: the miner is fine, the bundled PSU was the problem.
  • WiFi is weak. Connection drops, doesn't hold reliably. I just run Ethernet and haven't had an issue since. Recommend doing the same from day one.
  • No firmware updates from the control panel. This is the one I can't defend. For a 24/7 connected device, having no update path is a real con. Hopefully patched.
  • My unit had defects out of the box. Full disclosure, may or may not be common, but worth flagging.

Verdict

If you're fine running Ethernet, sourcing your own PSU if the bundled one acts up, and accepting that you can't update firmware right now, this is one of the better hashrate-per-dollar lottery tickets currently out there. The team is aware of these issues, so I'd expect a v2 or revisions to fix the bigger ones.

If you want polished and plug-and-play: not yet.

Nerd octaxe 3.1 large screen

Hi, I recently updated the firmware on a Nerdoctaxe v3.5 Titan with Large screen and now the image on the screen looks small and it’s flipped. Where can I find the right firmware for this device?

Ambient temperature and performance

Hey guys, first time poster here. Have recently purchased a Nerdaxe++rev3.1 and a Nerdoctaxe.. and not sure if it’s been mentioned here much before, but I was amazed how much performance difference I get when the room is in the sweet spot of about 23c.

I assumed it would be always best having it cold as possible, but you can see in this graph below, as soon I turn the heater off, the temp comes down, and so does the performance. And they’re on seperate electrical circuits, so there’s no interference happening power wise

Has anyone else experienced this? It might be general knowledge for these machines, but I was not aware how much of a difference it made!

We're really excited to announce that we've just brought two new regional endpoints online for our European mining family:

eu.btc.hmpool.io  → Bitcoin stratum (ports 3334-3338)

eu.bch.hmpool.io  → Bitcoin Cash stratum (ports 3335-3339)

This rounds out the regional rollout. DGB has had eu.digi.hmpool.io for a while, and now BTC and BCH have joined the family.

You get a dedicated European-side connection point for your miners.

HTTPS landing pages with built-in port-selection wizards: https://eu.btc.hmpool.io and https://eu.bch.hmpool.io

Same pool, same wallet, same dashboard, same PPLNS balance, same finder bonus, same participation bonus, same reward points, same affiliate link, same payouts. Nothing about your account changes.

How to switch:

Change one thing, the hostname and you're done:

Before:  stratum+tcp://btc.hmpool.io:port

After:   stratum+tcp://eu.btc.hmpool.io:port

Before:  stratum+tcp://bch.hmpool.io:port

After:   stratum+tcp://eu.bch.hmpool.io:port

Wallet, worker name, password, difficulty hint, all stay exactly the same. If you have multiple workers, you can move some now and others later. Every share lands on the same wallet on the same dashboard.

If you're closer to our US endpoints, no need to change anything, they're not going anywhere.

Got questions? Drop them in the channel or use the contact form on any of our pools.

Welcome aboard!

Really fast with Bruce firmware used it for a few minutes and then screen just went black won't do anything but light up the RGB and that's it.. I refuse to communicate with me I didn't even want my money back I just want to board that works I waited almost 3 weeks for this thing I'm very disappointed..

u/Sith_Lord999 — 13 days ago

Hi everyone,

I’ve been running a solo mining setup for a while now, and I wanted to double-check my performance metrics with the community.

My Setup:

Node: Raspberry Pi running Umbrel (Bitcoin Core 30.2.0).

Network: Local connection via GL.iNet router and Tailscale for remote monitoring.

Miners: A mix of Nerdaxe (13 TH/s) and Bitaxe (1.2 TH/s) units, total hashrate currently around 40 TH/s.

Connection: Mining directly to my Umbrel node via the Stratum port (192.168.8.154:2018).

The Performance:

Uptime: 13+ hours stable.

Ping: ~5.5ms (very low latency).

Rejected Shares: Very low (around 0.31%).

My Question:

I noticed that the "Shares" count increases quite slowly (increments slowly over time). For example, on the 13 TH/s unit, I got about 5,500 shares in 13 hours. Is this "slow" pace normal when mining solo against a local node? Or should I be looking into adjusting any settings like the "Initial Suggested Stratum Difficulty"?

I just want to make sure I'm not missing anything and that my units are hashing efficiently toward my own node.

Thanks for the help! ₿⚡
