Now that sounds fun. Curious on what the increase in rewards might be…
I was using bitcoin core as a node which I liked and is a great way of supporting the bitcoin infrastructure as I had a spare mini pc. Then I wished to mine to my own node, but I struggled to find a solution where I mined directly to my own node, that wasn’t linked to a pool and whereby I’d still be paying fees. I simply wished to use my own stratum gateway, to mine with my own miners.
I ended up wiping my mini pc/server that had Core on it and installed Bitcoin knots along with Datum gateway to run my own stratum. It’s been running great for a few weeks and I’m waiting on a couple of Bitaxe 601’s to try solo mining to the node. I guess for me, this is kind of the barebones of mining Bitcoin (or any other crypto gor that matter) and I just wished to partake in mining at its rawest level.
I tried to get the new FutureBit 2.0 but it’s only on sale for a few minutes every Friday so I just decided to build my own Pi and run StartOS. I’m a few days into syncing again after my first attempt of bitcoin core on Ubuntu but now I’m going with Knots on StartOS. Hopefully I can finally mine to my own node and contribute to the network as well.
