FAQ for Bitcorners
-
Profitability: It’s an educational "lottery ticket." While pool mining covers the electricity cost (~€3.80/month), the real goal is network participation and solo-mining potential.
-
Noise: Suitable for a desk or living room. For whisper-quiet operation, check the Gamma Silent or NerdQaxe++.
-
Custody: Works with any hardware wallet (Bitbox02, Jade, Trezor, Ledger). You provide the address; you keep the keys.
-
Customization: Fully supports overclocking and undervolting via AxeOS (at your own risk).
