Title: BitAxe Gamma - Mine to local bitcoin core (GBT)?
Post by: Nexus9090 on April 23, 2025, 08:56:27 AM
I've just bought a BitAxe Gamma, its on its way to me and should be here in a day or two.

Anyway, I'm wondering if I can set it up to mine locally to bitcoin core using GBT, or does it only support Stratum protocol and mining to a pool?

I admit I don't know much about BitAxe as of yet, so if anyone knows thanks for your help.

you can only mine on a stratum pool of your choice and enter this in the settings of your bitaxeGamma as follows
the first steps i would take in your place are to carry out the respective updates - you can find them under this link: https://github.com/bitaxeorg/ESP-Miner/releases

where did you buy the bitaxe miner, if you don't mind me asking?

Thanks for the link. I agree getting the latest FW onboard would be a good idea. I've no idea how to do that presently, but I'm sure I'll work it out.

I bought it through ZeusBTC, hopefully that wasn't a mistake.

I use Ocean's Datum Gateway set to solo local mining on my full node and point the Bitaxe to the IP of the node - All working fine but no block reward yet :)

Datum will work with Core but Ocean recommend Bitcoin Knots because of the ability to set your own mining template in finer detail

Settings:

Stratum host - Your node IP Eg: 192.168.1.234
Stratum Port: 23334
Stratum User: Your BTC Receive address EG bc1qqv7ymltch123456z0x68pyhfqh8kxtx3dmzv

Thanks,

Since I wrote the original post I've spoken with the ESP-Miner dev team and proposed the idea of mine to GBT.

Its something that they'll likely look at in future, but for now its not a supported feature.

I've set-up to mine to the usual stratum pools eusolo.ckpool.org and solo.stratum.braiins.com but I plan to set-up a local stratum pool in future using the CKPOOL code.
