Yep the Bitaxe is configured to solo mine by default. If you want a steady trickle of a few sats (and I mean a trickle - this is not a money maker) you need to point it to eg. Braiins or another mining pool. Plenty of resources out there on how to configure.

For this example I pointed my hash at Braiins Pool and linked my daughter's lightning address for daily payouts. There's various ways to do it, but for starters it was pretty convenient. This should show you an example of how to set it up. If it doesn't start at the right part, scrub ahead to 21:33
