262 sats \ 6 replies \ @optimism 12h \ on: Does BitAxe Support On and Off Mining? bitcoin_beginners
Can the BitAxe work on and off as in, I drive to work, put it in plug in my company outlet, then come back home, and plug it in again etc.?
Yes.
Will my reward be (roughly) proportional to the hashes I contribute throughout the day?
Yes, within a limit of 8 blocks worth of work for the total pool, so the window may be smaller or larger than a day depending on how many other people submit to the pool. Also note that it is PPLNS so you get paid when a block gets found, not per day.
If my home and work both have WiFi, will the configurations (where to credit my reward, the pool URL etc.) be persisted across sessions?
Yes, but you may need to re-configure your wifi - I don't remember if BitAxe allows configuration of multiple, auto-connect wifi networks; to my memory it allowed one, but I may be wrong or outdated.
Is it really portable, as in meant to commute around with, so that I can plug it in wherever I see a charging point?
It's not designed to be portable but that doesn't mean it isn't. You could hang it on a battery pack and use your phone to tether wifi and make it extremely portable.
My power outlet is 220 volts, 50 Hz. Single phase, type G plug (engineering details, not sure if they matter), but are BitAxes compatible with it?
Yes.

AxeOS network configuration only allows one Wi-Fi connection at a time, so you would need to change it and restart the device every time.

Right so that didn't change, then, thank you. Could be coded in though.

This seems tricky. Is there documentation for this cycle change? Unless there is a switch, isn't there a possibility that it will run slower and overheat?

What of the above is tricky?
If you mean the power, you anyway need an adapter to 5V DC (5A/25W), and these are relatively standard.

What I am saying is buy for the region you live in. I like https://www.solosatoshi.com/.

You need a DC adapter that is compatible with the region you live in, yes. The board itself is the same. I gave 2 boards that I bought in Europe away to friends in the US, there are no problems; they just needed to get the correct adapter.
