Hi, I have an Apollo 2 (both node and standard miners) and I’m also getting a BitAxe. Question, if I want to connect the BitAxe to my Apollo 2s, would it properly allocate work to the BitAxe? Meaning, I wouldn’t want the BitAxe to repeat hashing the same hashes as the Apollo 2 miners but add additional (unique) hash rate. Is this automatically managed by the Apollo or are there settings to ensure there is no duplicate hashing?
The way I understand it is, all miners are working to solve the same next block, and it's more of a race to see you cracks it first. There are some advantages some have, a few are due to internet connections and some pools/miners are thought to hold back, so they can start on the next one before anybody else. I tend to think this is a possibility when you see a pool/large miner hit 2 blocks minutes apart.
