My BitAxe ran decently well for about a year or so. Now it seems to only run for a few minutes then my pool indicates it’s basically producing 0 shares. Reboot and the same thing happens over and over.

Maybe I need a firmware update? I haven’t looked into how to do that yet

Nope!

Edit: I looked into it briefly and it seemed complicated, and given my other hash rate, I didn’t bother

Maybe I overreacted. It’s probably not that hard. I’ll try it

  1. Go to Settings,
  2. check for new version,
  3. download the new version,
  4. upload the file.

Hmm , mine doesn’t have the check for new version option. Probably older. But looks like it coming from here: https://github.com/bitaxeorg/ESP-Miner/releases/tag/v2.6.5
