I want to get into solo mining and running my own bitcoin node. I am looking for recommendations on websites that sell Bitaxe and/or Start9, and accept Lightning or on-chain payments. Must ship to Canada, and a promo code would be a bonus! Appreciate the help! #asknostr #bitcoin

Do NOT buy from D-Central.
I prefer getting my D Directly from the original spicy source Hey / OHHHHH 😆

and if you're up for building one, look at the repo - you're in Canada so you could get the stuff shipped to you and make a few yourself if you wanted to. open source optionality 👍

It's a long story of constant failures. The short version is they charged my card immediately, but didn't ship until three weeks later (after I brought it to their attention). It still took them a week or two to finally send it off. When I got it, the wifi dongle was the wrong one (physical connector didn't match). They spent another month getting me the correct dongle. Then the S9 booted straight to an error. They made multiple appointments with me for troubleshooting, then would no-show on me. Meanwhile, this took tons of emails back and forth, with D-central often taking a week or two to reply, including threatening me with slower response time if I didn't act happy about their mistakes. I'm pretty much soured on the idea of home mining after that. I would have been better off using the money to buy BTC, and my time spent doing almost anything else.
