Okay I have finally jumped in on this and have purchased 1 "Full" controller and 3 standards on the way.

I know I am way late to the game with these however from the reviews I have seen I'm pretty excited about getting these going.

Not to mention that I really love the ability to help secure the network further by adding a full node to the BTC network.

Also, incredibly optimistic that the next release will allow solo mining to the node itself.  Wink


UPDATE 5/18/2022:
The "Full" controller came in today and within about 10 minutes I was up, running, mining and downloading the blockchain.

Easy setup which is very intuitive however not sure the web interface password changes the OS password. This would be something I would change.

Really digging the interface but would love to see a "Block Found" stat on the mining gui. That would be a welcome addition.

So far I like everything I see and must say well done!



Agreed; I'd also love to see this
I don't think that's possible, unless your specific miner actually finds a block, which is really really really rare. The only useful notification would be if the pool you're mining for found a block, but your local miners won't know this.
