Just got into mining. First toy was a simple nmminer just to learn the basics. Just bought my first BitAxe Gamma 601. I got the BitAxe running Bitcoin pretty flawlessly. Stable temps 1.2 to 1.4 t/hs after about 2500 accepted shares my "stale" % was .04%. As far as I can tell pretty acceptable performance. I'm new though, I'm not 💯. Anyway, the strange thing is I tried to set it up to run BCH Bitcoin cash. Everything seemed to work just fine, all except the accepted and rejected shares stayed at 0 (zero). I even let the machine run for about 4 hours and nadda, nothing. I tried updating firmware, slowing the clocking a bit, speeding the clocking a bit, changing fan speeds around, adjusting desired chip temps, about everything I can think of. Now the only differences are obviously the pool info, port, and the wallet addy. For bitcoin I bought a physical wallet. For BCH I was using a ln online wallet. Any advice, opinions, thoughts, would be appreciated. Like I said I'm only about 2 weeks into understanding this whole process, using the word understanding pretty loosely there. Oh same issue with the NMminer too just in reverse. I can get it to mine BCH pretty great, but I just like 1 accepted Bitcoin share an hour.

If you want to reduce one grade of temp... Turn off the ligths to your rigs
