I went to dashboard settings and copied and pasted the address and restart it took a second and started back up, but when I check the dashboard it shows btcpool. What did I do wrong here?
Are these decent stats so far? I saw 3 rejected shares on the could this have been from poor wifi signal?
A short while ago, I posted here about getting hooked on solo mining with my first setup. A comment on that thread got my wheels turning, and from that moment on, my curiosity just wouldn't let me go. What started as a simple test quickly became a full-blown weekend rabbit hole.
My current setup has grown into a neat, ultra-low-power micro-farm. It pairs a couple of ESP32 NerdMiners with Raspberry Pis that handle low-power mining while doubling as a central local hub and live monitoring station. Having the whole fleet hum along silently, submitting shares and feeding into a single real-time dashboard, is just incredibly satisfying.
In my day job, I work as an independent developer focusing on Linux system administration and WordPress security. Because managing Linux environments, server setups, and network infrastructure is what I do every day, putting together custom monitoring nodes and smooth network routing naturally felt like second nature — and a really fun way to tinker outside of client work.
As the logical next step of this project, I decided to spin up a dedicated solo mining pool over at pool.cryptowatcher.ch.
To keep it super accessible and fair for fellow hobbyists, the fee is set to just 0.125% for micro-miners (NerdMiners, Pis, and USB sticks), and moves to 1.0% for larger rigs (over 1 TH/s).
This is 100% a passion project built out of pure enthusiasm for the solo mining scene. If anyone is looking for a lightweight, community-oriented place to point their small miner or test hardware to hunt for that jackpot block, you're more than welcome to hop on.
Happy block hunting everyone!
What is your best diff ever founded?
How can you tell if a miner is actually working? What does the screen tell you?
I have a Nerd miner. Does N M miner hash faster than Nerd miner? Which firmware should I flash? This community is great.
It came with 1000/1250 settings but lower to 777/1200 as default.
It was in same 80%
Can anyone guide me
Hey everyone!
I jumped into solo mining just 2 days ago, starting out with a couple of Raspberry Pi 3B+ units, a classic NerdMiner, and a LilyGO T-Display ESP32-S3.
I had some free time on my hands, so I decided to roll up my sleeves and do a bit of custom coding and configuration. Here is what my current local fleet looks like:
pool.nerdminer.de, plus an integrated CPU miner instance locked to 2 cores.To keep a proper eye on everything, I built a custom local Cyberpunk Monitoring Station hosted right on my primary Pi. It gives me a clean, real-time overview of everything:
Honestly, I’m absolutely loving this hobby! I just wanted to share my setup with you all—feeling a little proud of how smoothly this small rig turned out.
Happy Jackpot Hunting! ⚡🪙
