Why Run a BitAxe?

I'm running it to help secure the network, learn how mining actually works, and contribute to the Bitcoin blockchain. Plus, there's always the tiny chance of finding a block solo.


Educational Value: Hands-on experience with ASIC mining hardware, understanding difficulty adjustments, block rewards, and how the Bitcoin network validates transactions.
