you then don't know that you need a bitcoin node (not a lightning node) to run a mining rig. Or were you able to connect the FutureBit miners to an external bitcoin node?
What are the other home mining alternatives you would consider instead? I ask because I'm planning on setting up a rig at home, your insights would be useful.
I’m trying not to take offense to what you’re telling me. I’m pretty sure I know what I need to run a mining rig considering I run 4 of them.
I don’t have the full Apollo units, just the miner units. They offer multiple variants, some that include a PC and others that don’t. I chose not to buy the full units because I can provide my own “head” to drive the miners.
I don’t solo mine, I run with a mining pool, so no, I don’t need a bitcoin node myself to run a miner. The pool provides that infra for me.
I do happen to also run a bitcoin node, but it’s independent of the miners.
I think the other units to consider are the Canaan Avalon units, and probably others.
