NerdQaxe++ Revision 6 Block Found on Public Pool!

A home miner running a NerdQaxe++ Revision 6 from Solo Satoshi has reported a solo Bitcoin block at height 920440 while pointing at a self-hosted Public Pool instance on an Umbrel home server. Multiple community posts on Reddit and X point to this block as another proof that open-source desktop mining can win big!

Confirmation: a NerdQaxe++ finds block 920440 on a self-hosted Public Pool running on Umbrel

The miner says block 920440 was solved while mining to a private instance of Public Pool that was hosted on an Umbrel home server. A Bitcointalk thread also noted the block contained a scriptsig that reads Public Pool on Umbrel which supports the claim that it came through a self-hosted pool. In r Bitcoin and r BitAxe the winning miner posted screenshots and details that quickly spread across the open-source mining community. On X, key developers in OSMU like Skot, Pmax WantClue, and Public-Pool amplified that the block was mined with a NerdQaxe++ Revision 6 pointed at a self-hosted Public Pool.

The user on Reddit posts

Hey guys, it’s me again. I recently posted about a pc build i made with 6 nerdqaxe++. I recently got a Avalon Q as well and my total has is 120-130 TH.

I manage to do it. I fucking manage to do the god damn impossible. I got a mother fucking block. Everyone says it’s hard. Your wasting money. You’ll never find one. You have to get at least a few PT to have any chance. Well fuck those guys. I did it and we got proof now. A tiny NerdQaxe found a block against all odds, against the world.

And I solo mined. It was $342,564.17. Tax will eat up $158,000 leaving me with 200k-ish. I am so damn psyched and hyped.

The max difficulty i hit was 2.08 P. I had 212 G. You guys can do it. We all can do it. These small miners are so damn amazing. Also, I will delete all private DM. Don’t even bother scammers. And I also already “verified” and “sync” my wallet ok.

What we know about the winning NerdQaxe++ Revision 6 setup cluster and total hashrate

The operator reported a cluster of six NerdQaxe++ units alongside one Avalon Q for a total hashrate in the range of 130TH/s (terahashes per second). The winning miner submitted a best share near 2.08P (petadifficulty) during its session, securing the block reward. The payout shown in their wallet post was about $342,000 United States dollars which lines up with the block subsidy and fees at recent Bitcoin prices.

The earlier NerdQaxe++ block that hit through Ocean Mining

This is not the first time the NerdQaxe++ platform has touched a block. In early September a NerdQaxe++ hit block 913272 while hashing through Ocean Mining. That historic win was widely circulated across social media and documented in a Solo Satoshi recap. Because it was through a pool setup the operator did not receive the entire subsidy in the same way a solo miner would.

Why this NerdQaxe++ block found story matters for home mining and open source hashpower

• It validates the open-source desktop miner path. A small rig can earn a full block which motivates more people to run their own hardware and full nodes.
• It shows the value of self-hosting your pool software. Public Pool on Umbrel keeps control and privacy with the operator and preserves the solo payout model.
• It highlights how much the hardware has matured. Rev 6 models run cooler and more efficiently which helps stability during long solo runs. You can see how the NerdQaxe++ Revision 6 differentiates itself if this detailed article: A New NerdQaxe++ Model is Released

How to set up a NerdQaxe++ Revision 6 for true solo mining using Public Pool and a home node

1. Get the hardware. The winning setup used NerdQaxe++ Revision 6 units which are the same open-source models Solo Satoshi sells and supports.
2. Run your own Bitcoin full node. Start9 is a popular choice for a simple home server experience.
3. Install and configure Public Pool on your node. Point each miner at your node IP and the Public Pool stratum port. You can see our detailed guide on how to solo mine to an Umbrel server here: How to Solo Mine Bitcoin Using UmbrelOS
4. Verify work submission and monitoring. Use the miner web page and the pool dashboard to confirm shares are arriving and that the node stays in sync.
5. Harden power and cooling. Rev 6 runs cooler and fuse free, and steady power helps prevent restarts during high difficulty shares
6. Accept the odds. Historical wins prove it is possible but time to block is uncertain and could be very long or never happen at all. Community posts often frame this as a hobbyist pursuit with asymmetric upside rather than a profit plan. Use our Solo Mining Calculator and see your solo mining odds here!

Frequently asked questions about NerdQaxe++ block found events and solo mining odds

Was this a true solo payout?
Yes. Posts from the miner and community confirmations indicate the block was solved through a self-hosted Public Pool connected to a home node which is a solo payout route.

Do you need a cluster of miners to have a chance?
Any hashrate has a non-zero chance but higher hashrate lowers the expected time for a win. The reported cluster had one 130+ TH/s which meaningfully improves odds over a single unit.

Can a single unit still win?
Yes, in theory. The first widely noted NerdQaxe++ win came through a pool and other desktop miners have hit blocks across the years at small scale. The odds are only 0 if you don’t run a miner! See how single chip Bitaxe devices have also found solo blocks.
