Finally got a BitAxe. It’s fun!
If you interrupt loading of the settings screen, you can input your own ASIC frequency and voltage setting.
Instead of the 490 MHz default and 590MHz max menu option, mine can run at 800MHz, albeit a bit hotter than I’m comfortable with and probably not stable as the power brick struggles to beep up.
But 700MHz only moderately stresses the brick and temps are between 60-65C depending on ambient air temperature.
Here’s to the lottery mining hobby! With these settings, it’ll cost $29 a year for a 1 in 10,000 chance at solving a block. Current expected value of this hobby $18.75, so clearly one can’t do this with an expectation of profit…and it’ll take 10,000 years to have a 50/50 chance of breaking even (assuming hash rate, power cost, snd bitcoin price stay fixed).
