Here is the quick review and set-up video:
This guide walks you through each step to get your mining rig up and running quickly and effectively.
Step 1: Attaching the Screen
- Your Bitaxe Gamma includes a detachable screen which may be unattached during shipment to protect it during transit. If it is not connected already, attach the screen to the unit using the provided fixtures at the top of the board.
Step 2: Power Connection
- Connect the power cable to a suitable wall outlet. The Bitaxe Gamma is compatible with global voltage standards.
- Attach the other end of the power cable to your miner.
Step 3: Initial Boot-Up
- Power on your device and wait for the screen to display "Bitaxe_XXXX," indicating it is ready for setup.
Step 4: Wi-Fi Connection
- Use your smartphone or computer to locate and connect to the "Bitaxe_XXXX" Wi-Fi network. Select 'YES' if asked to continue without internet access.
Step 5: AxeOS Setup
- Under the 'Settings' in AxeOS, enter your home Wi-Fi details:
- Wi-Fi ID: Your 2.4G Wi-Fi SSID
- Wi-Fi Password: Make sure it's correct to avoid issues.
- Click Save then Restart
Step 6: Customizing Your Miner
- To access your settings, once connected to WiFi your screen will display an IP address (192.168.x.xxx). You can type this into any browser to access settings when in proximity to the miner.
- MOST IMPORTANT STEP - Set 'Stratum User' to your Bitcoin wallet address (must start with "bc" "1" or "0") or mining username if you are joining a pool. IF YOU DON'T CHANGE THIS FIELD YOU WON'T RECEIVE ANY BLOCK REWARDS
- Enter the 'Stratum URL' of your preferred Bitcoin pool (omit 'TCP://').
