Join The Hunt

Before you start

You need your Bitaxe, NerdAxe or NerdQaxe, the correct power supply, a stable 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network, and your Wolf Pack Miners pack details.

Join or create a pack first. Your pack card gives you the pool address, port, worker/user details and password. Most setups use password x.

Power on and join the miner Wi-Fi

Turn on the miner and wait for the screen. New devices usually broadcast a temporary Wi-Fi network such as Bitaxe_XXXX or Nerdaxe_XXXX.

  1. Open Wi-Fi settings on your phone, tablet or laptop.
  2. Join the miner Wi-Fi network.
  3. If a setup page does not open automatically, type 192.168.4.1 in your browser.

Miner Dashboard Setup

After saving Wi-Fi and restarting, your miner should join your home network. The device screen will show its local IP address. Type that IP address into your browser on a phone, tablet or computer connected to the same Wi-Fi network.

  1. Wait for the miner to reboot after Wi-Fi setup.
  2. Read the IP address shown on the miner screen, usually something like 192.168.1.xxx.
  3. Type that IP address into your browser address bar.
  4. AxeOS, NerdAxe OS or NerdQaxe OS should open so you can check hashrate, shares, temperature and pool status.

Confirm your wolf is hunting

After restart, the device should connect to the pool and begin submitting work. Leave it a few minutes, then check the Wolf Pack Miners dashboard.

  • Your wolf should show as hunting when real work is being received.
  • Hashrate can move up and down while the site calculates a stable average.
  • Small ESP32-class miners can appear quiet for longer because accepted work depends on difficulty and device power.
  • Use the same credentials on extra devices under the same wallet to add hashrate without taking extra pack slots.

Fast troubleshooting

  • No Wi-Fi connection: check 2.4 GHz, exact password and router blocks.
  • Unauthorized worker: copy the worker/user field from the pack card again.
  • No shares yet: give it time. Very low-power CYD-style miners do very little work, so they can take a while to submit an accepted share. New workers can also take a minute or two to appear on the server after the first valid work arrives. This is normal.
  • Multiple devices: repeat the same pool settings on each device under the same registered wallet.

Join the hunt

When your miner is configured, your hashes become part of the pack. More wolves means more collective work, more pack energy and a stronger hunt.
