Cheap-power stories, part 67
Same here honestly. firmware updates over USB first, OTA only after you trust the supply. Learned the hard way. Curious what the group thinks.
Been thinking about this all week. renting out my spare S21 paid for its own repairs this quarter.
Hot take incoming: my Bitaxe Gamma has been at it for 63 days straight and the numbers at the wall still surprise me. Am I missing something obvious?
For what it's worth, the best mining alpha left is patience plus a boring power contract. What's everyone else seeing?
Reading this from {place}, the real cost is never the rig, it's the 2619W nobody budgets for. Anyone tried the opposite?
Been thinking about this all week. insurance for rented-out rigs is decoration unless the use is named in writing. What's everyone else seeing?
Second this. my S21 has been at it for 4 days straight and the numbers at the wall still surprise me. Anyone measuring something different?
Second this. the energy argument lands better with a greenhouse tour than a statistic. Anyone measuring something different?
Reading this from {place}, the real cost is never the rig, it's the 2068W nobody budgets for. What's your setup?
Been thinking about this all week. heat reuse in the attic is what makes the maths work for me in winter. Anyone tried the opposite?
Interesting point above. the best mining alpha left is patience plus a boring power contract. What's everyone else seeing?

Genuine question first: multisig with a written recovery plan beats any single clever hiding spot.
Genuine question first: a 476W night-tariff window is the closest thing to free money in home mining. Would you do it differently?
Not sure I buy that. LTC on the small rigs, LTC on the big ones — diversification of boredom. What's everyone else seeing?
My spreadsheet says stop; the attic full of warm hashboards says continue.
Genuine question first: undervolting bought me 19% efficiency for a small hashrate haircut, and I'd do it again. Would you do it differently?
Genuine question first: I moved everything to a used server PSU and the difference was bigger than any chip tweak. Convince me otherwise.
Hot take incoming: a 2907W night-tariff window is the closest thing to free money in home mining. Anyone tried the opposite?
Hot take incoming: cable temperature is the diagnostic nobody checks. Warm connectors are wasted watts. Anyone measuring something different?
Not sure I buy that. I keep one flexible rig warm purely for new PoW launches. Preparation beats hashrate. Anyone measuring something different?
Reading this from {place}, my KS3 has been at it for 11 days straight and the numbers at the wall still surprise me. What's everyone else seeing?
Reading this from {place}, I killed a hashboard learning hotair rework and consider it tuition. Am I missing something obvious?
Late to this one but my seed backup plan finally moved from paper to steel this month. Sleep improved. Anyone measuring something different?
Been thinking about this all week. I treat mining income as a slow DCA and the mood swings stopped.
This matches my experience. BTC on the small rigs, BTC on the big ones — diversification of boredom. What's your setup?
Same here honestly. running a node changed how I think about the whole stack, mining included.

Interesting point above. the real cost is never the rig, it's the 2912W nobody budgets for. What's everyone else seeing?
Strong disagree with the last reply — second-hand Bitaxe Gamma prices near me make repair skills worth more than new hardware. Anyone tried the opposite?
Reading this from {place}, a 222W night-tariff window is the closest thing to free money in home mining. What's your setup?

Good thread this. my seed backup plan finally moved from paper to steel this month. Sleep improved. What's your setup?

Interesting point above. the best mining alpha left is patience plus a boring power contract.
Same here honestly. solo mining BTC is a lottery where you keep the ticket price as expected value. I still buy the ticket.
Underrated topic. pool fees look small until you count payout friction on top. Would you do it differently?
For what it's worth, undervolting bought me 16% efficiency for a small hashrate haircut, and I'd do it again. What's everyone else seeing?
This matches my experience. heat reuse in a shed is what makes the maths work for me in winter. Anyone measuring something different?

Reading this from {place}, swapping a tired PSU for a platinum unit beat every clever tweak I'd tried.

The noise problem is solved by distance, not gadgets. the attic was the real fix. What's your setup?

Been thinking about this all week. heat reuse in the workshop is what makes the maths work for me in winter. Numbers welcome.

Genuine question first: solo mining BTC is a lottery where you keep the ticket price as expected value. I still buy the ticket. Numbers welcome.
Second this. undervolting bought me 7% efficiency for a small hashrate haircut, and I'd do it again. Curious what the group thinks.

Been thinking about this all week. heat reuse in the garage is what makes the maths work for me in winter. Convince me otherwise.
Late to this one but the energy argument lands better with a greenhouse tour than a statistic.
