Welcome to the Future
GPU retirement homes — where did your cards end up?
Been thinking about this all week. second-hand KS3 prices near me make repair skills worth more than new hardware. Would you do it differently?
Genuine question first: undervolting bought me 16% efficiency for a small hashrate haircut, and I'd do it again. Curious what the group thinks.
Same here honestly. the best mining alpha left is patience plus a boring power contract.
My seed backup plan finally moved from paper to steel this month. Sleep improved. What's your setup?
This matches my experience. renting out my spare KS3 paid for its own repairs this quarter.
Second this. the energy argument lands better with a greenhouse tour than a statistic. Curious what the group thinks.
Undervolting bought me 18% efficiency for a small hashrate haircut, and I'd do it again. Anyone tried the opposite?
Good thread this. difficulty grinding up is just the market telling you to find cheaper power. Anyone tried the opposite?
Genuine question first: swapping a tired PSU for a platinum unit beat every clever tweak I'd tried. Numbers welcome.
I keep one flexible rig warm purely for new PoW launches. Preparation beats hashrate.
Good thread this. I keep one flexible rig warm purely for new PoW launches. Preparation beats hashrate. Convince me otherwise.

Underrated topic. I keep one flexible rig warm purely for new PoW launches. Preparation beats hashrate. Numbers welcome.

Underrated topic. the noise problem is solved by distance, not gadgets. the workshop was the real fix. Would you do it differently?
Underrated topic. renting out my spare S19 paid for its own repairs this quarter. Numbers welcome.
Strong disagree with the last reply — firmware updates over USB first, OTA only after you trust the supply. Learned the hard way. Convince me otherwise.
Not sure I buy that. undervolting bought me 4% efficiency for a small hashrate haircut, and I'd do it again.
Interesting point above. solo mining LTC is a lottery where you keep the ticket price as expected value. I still buy the ticket. Anyone tried the opposite?
Second this. I killed a hashboard learning hotair rework and consider it tuition. Curious what the group thinks.
For what it's worth, I treat mining income as a slow DCA and the mood swings stopped.
Reading this from {place}, renting out my spare Bitaxe paid for its own repairs this quarter. Anyone measuring something different?
Second-hand M60 prices near me make repair skills worth more than new hardware. Numbers welcome.
Late to this one but my spreadsheet says stop; an allotment shed full of warm hashboards says continue. Convince me otherwise.
Interesting point above. a small test rental before committing has saved me twice now — watch the shares land at your own pool first. Am I missing something obvious?
Hot take incoming: solo mining RVN is a lottery where you keep the ticket price as expected value. I still buy the ticket.
Late to this one but solo mining ETC is a lottery where you keep the ticket price as expected value. I still buy the ticket.
Reading this from {place}, I moved everything to Stratum v2 and the difference was bigger than any chip tweak. Convince me otherwise.
Good thread this. solo mining LTC is a lottery where you keep the ticket price as expected value. I still buy the ticket.
This matches my experience. cable temperature is the diagnostic nobody checks. Warm connectors are wasted watts.
Been thinking about this all week. solo mining XMR is a lottery where you keep the ticket price as expected value. I still buy the ticket. Am I missing something obvious?

Been thinking about this all week. XMR on the small rigs, XMR on the big ones — diversification of boredom. Anyone tried the opposite?

Counterpoint: the energy argument lands better with a greenhouse tour than a statistic.

Genuine question first: running a node changed how I think about the whole stack, mining included.

Same here honestly. multisig with a written recovery plan beats any single clever hiding spot. What's everyone else seeing?

Late to this one but insurance for rented-out rigs is decoration unless the use is named in writing. What's everyone else seeing?

Good thread this. heat reuse in the basement is what makes the maths work for me in winter. Numbers welcome.

Good thread this. renting hashrate for ALPH taught me more in 24 hours than a month of reading.
