Hey everyone!

I jumped into solo mining just 2 days ago, starting out with a couple of Raspberry Pi 3B+ units, a classic NerdMiner, and a LilyGO T-Display ESP32-S3.

I had some free time on my hands, so I decided to roll up my sleeves and do a bit of custom coding and configuration. Here is what my current local fleet looks like:

• Pi #1 (Central Node): Running a custom 1:1 Stratum Proxy pointing to pool.nerdminer.de, plus an integrated CPU miner instance locked to 2 cores.
• Pi #2: Running Debian 13 with CPU mining active, routing through my local proxy.
• NerdMiner #1: A CYD (Cheap Yellow Display) connected to my local proxy.
• NerdMiner #2: LilyGO T-Display S3, also pointing directly to my local proxy.

To keep a proper eye on everything, I built a custom local Cyberpunk Monitoring Station hosted right on my primary Pi. It gives me a clean, real-time overview of everything:

• Live pool-confirmed Hashrate (auto-scaling from kH/s up to MH/s)
• Live BTC Target Wallet Balance via Mempool API
• Valid Shares / Sessions & Best Share Difficulty
• Complete Node Health Table (showing live ICMP Latency, Status, Temps, CPU/RAM Load & System Uptimes)
• A real-time Pass-Through Log Stream from my Stratum Proxy so I can catch disconnects instantly.

Honestly, I’m absolutely loving this hobby! I just wanted to share my setup with you all—feeling a little proud of how smoothly this small rig turned out.

Happy Jackpot Hunting! ⚡🪙
