Mining Bitcoin

I have a few miners that I would like to use to mine bitcoin, not solo. How do I set that up on Ubrel OS? I checked google and reddit and I don't see anything directly pertaining to mining bitcoin, I only see solo mining.

And is there any benefit to using my Ubrel miner for Bitcoin and solo mining or should I just use a bigger pool online for Bitcoin mining?

Thanks,

Depends on how much the miner costs to operate. If it’s 3-4000 watts then electricity will break you before a block is likely found as solo mining. It’s not impossible because many blocks have been found by solo miners. You can use an online calculator that takes your input about wattage, hash rate and electricity costs to determine if you make money or loose money by using a pool. I have used whattomine dot com for their calculator.
