1. Connect the OLED screen to the miner board (if it is not already attached).
2. Plug the 12V power adapter into the miner.
3. Ensure the polarity is correct to avoid damage.

Once powered on:

• The screen will light up.
• The fans will start spinning.
• After 10–30 seconds, the screen will display key information, including:
  • Stratum Host (pool address)
  • Local IP Address (example: 192.168.x.x)

Tip: Take a photo of the screen so you can easily reference the IP address later.

1. On your phone or computer, go to Wi-Fi settings.
2. Look for a network named Bitaxe_XXXX (XXXX will be random digits).
3. Connect to this network. No password is required. If it doesn’t auto-open a setup page, open a browser and go to: http://192.168.4.1 or http://192.168.1.112.

In the AxeOS dashboard web interface:

1. Set a Hostname (e.g., MyBitaxe or MyMiner).
2. Select or manually enter your home Wi-Fi SSID (2.4GHz only).
3. Enter the Wi-Fi password (case-sensitive).
4. Click Save or Apply.

The miner will restart and connect to your home Wi-Fi:

• Wait 1–2 minutes.
• The OLED screen will now display a new IP address assigned by your router (e.g., 192.168.1.112).

Important: From now on, the miner will automatically reconnect to this Wi-Fi network whenever it powers on.

Open a browser and go to: https://abel-nakamoto.xyz/

1. Register a new account.
2. After logging in, go to Settings.
3. Click Add Account.

Fill in the form:

• Tag (Name): Example: ASIC mining or Bitaxe1
• Description (Optional): Example: My home Bitaxe miner
• Wallet Address: Paste your ABEL wallet address from your desktop or mobile wallet.

Recommended: Use the long wallet address for mining compatibility.

• Long address: Usually 2000+ characters, starting with abe1 or 0001.
• Short address: 66 characters (may work, but long addresses are safer for mining pools).

Click Add or Save.

Once added, you will see your pool credentials, including:

• Username (a long string like d892a6c1…).
• Password (another string).

Copy both values, Username and Password, in the next step.

Make sure your computer or phone is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as the miner.

1. Open a browser.
2. Enter the miner’s IP address shown on the OLED screen, for example: http://192.168.1.112
3. Go to the Pool tab.
   Fill in the following fields:
   • Stratum Host: pool.abel-nakamoto.xyz (usually pre-filled/immutable)
   • Stratum Port: 3333 (immutable)
   • User: Paste your Username from the pool account (You may optionally add a worker name like .Bitaxe1 for easy tracking)
   • Password: Paste your Password
   • Suggested Difficulty: Leave as default (usually 1000) or adjust between 500–2000 based on your hashrate.
4. Click Save → Restart (or Reboot). Wait 1–5 minutes.
5. Go back to the Dashboard tab:
   • Check Hash Rate (should be >0, e.g., 500+ GH/s in your case).
   • Accepted Shares (should start increasing).

The miner is now mining. Mining Rewards are calculated based on the shares contributed to the pool.
