SOLO MINING RECORD BROKE!!!
Share
In 2025, mining Bitcoin solo with a Bitaxe might seem absurd to most. Faced with the massive industrialization of mining, with farms equipped with thousands of ASICs in air-conditioned data centers, the very idea of plugging in a small open-source device at home to try to find a block might raise a smile. And yet, that's exactly what I do. I mine solo with a Bitaxe V601, equipped with the BM1370 chip, overclocked to 625 MHz. My goal isn't immediate profit, nor optimized profitability. What I pursue is a form of purity, faith in the algorithm, and a direct connection with the essence of Bitcoin: a decentralized protocol, accessible to all, and free by nature. With only 1.3 TH/s, my statistical chances of finding a block are tiny. But that number doesn't tell the whole story. My Bitaxe runs 24/7, solo on a personal node, and I monitor every share as a victory. My record? A 562M share, beating my previous score of 556M. A tiny feat on the scale of the network, but gigantic on the scale of my personal adventure. It's a bit like playing the lottery with a homemade ticket, printed on recycled paper, but with a coded algorithm yourself. I don't mine to get rich. I mine to understand. To participate. To show that an individual can still play a role in Bitcoin's infrastructure, without needing a noisy rack in a warehouse in China or Texas. I also do it out of conviction. Solo mining is the antithesis of the cloud. It's the anti-SaaS. It's you, your hardware, your power line, your own network connection, and a handful of chances per second against everyone else. Bitaxe is open source. It embodies the Cypherpunk ethos: decentralization, transparency, autonomy. It doesn't depend on any company, has no backdoor, and doesn't wait for authorization. Every block I don't find is a silent prayer for the next one to be mine. In a world where digital sovereignty is becoming increasingly rare, plugging in a Bitaxe is a political act. A gesture of resistance. A way of saying: I'm still here. I still have the right to participate in the machine. Maybe I'll never find a block. But every record broken, like the 562M recently reached, is a victory in itself. The day it falls, if it falls, it will be a moment etched forever. My block. My nonce. My message. In the meantime, the Bitaxe is running. And I'm watching.
