Just switched my Bitcoin node from Core to Knots on my Raspberry Pi—Core’s plan to nix OP_RETURN and restrict node configs pushed me to embrace more freedom. Enter Bitaxe and lottery mining: it’s like playing the UK National Lottery, but with a twist. The UK Lotto offers a 1 in 45M chance at £2M for £2. With my Bitaxe at 1 TH/s, I’ve got a ~1 in 860K shot per 10-min block for 3.125 BTC (~£180K at £57K/BTC). Lotto’s a gamble with no utility; lottery mining secures Bitcoin’s network while chasing that full block reward—no splitting with a pool!
Solo mining fights the centralization of massive pools, which control over 60% of Bitcoin’s hash rate. By running my own node and miner, I’m living Satoshi’s vision: every node a miner, decentralizing power. The UK Lotto funds charities; my Bitaxe strengthens Bitcoin’s resilience. Plus, the educational wins are huge—tinkering with Knots, optimizing my setup, and diving into Bitcoin’s mechanics has deepened my understanding of this revolutionary tech.
Join the solo mining crew! It’s a long shot, but every hash you throw at the network is a step toward decentralization and a masterclass in Bitcoin. Who’s running a Bitaxe or Knots? Share your setup! #Bitcoin #SoloMining #Bitaxe #Decentralization
