Your choice. I’ve run my bitaxe on a pool and it gets a few hundred sats a week. I now run it as a lottery miner on a public-pool instance on my own node.

Other options in your situation are the nano3s or, if you’re a bit bigger in budget, an avalon Q. Smaller options like nerdqaxe or bitaxe hex might be worth a look if they’re on sale.

With two Bitaxe gamma miners back in June, I was earning approximately 120 satoshis daily through Braiins LN.

Recently, I switched to parasite.space as per the pool rule. The miner who successfully mines a block receives a reward of 1 Bitcoin, while the remaining amount is distributed among the miners.

Although the chances of hitting are extremely low, the additional incentive motivates me to take the risk and still earn a reward if a block is found. However, the pool has yet to find a block. The pool is new and it just launched this year

You can choose whichever pool you like. Braiins and Ocean both have LN payouts (Ocean is more difficult to set up as it requires Bolt12). The payouts aren't big so I think it's better to solo mine (Datum, Public-pool or CK-pool).
