60 sats \ 8 replies \ @nullama 11 May \ on: Bitaxe miner pros and cons ?? 🤔 bitcoin_beginners
Any miner in theory can mine solo or in a pool.
It's a relatively small ASIC, kinda like those USB miners.
The cost of it is probably more than what you can ever mine with it though, but it's cheap if you just want to learn about mining.

Nano 3 for me has the best price/performance relation.

The main problem with that one is that it is closed sourced (like the Apollo II), and it is locked to one pool only

Indeed, if I have to buy one, I will go with bitaxe for sure. It's a way to send signals that align with me, even in a capital expensive area like mining.
