Node hardware in 2026 — Pi, mini-PC or old laptop?
Second this. pool fees look small until you count payout friction on top. Anyone tried the opposite?
Underrated topic. difficulty grinding up is just the market telling you to find cheaper power.
Renting out my spare old S9 paid for its own repairs this quarter.
Genuine question first: my spreadsheet says stop; the garage full of warm hashboards says continue.
Hot take incoming: multisig with a written recovery plan beats any single clever hiding spot. Would you do it differently?
Reading this from {place}, second-hand old S9 prices near me make repair skills worth more than new hardware.
Not sure I buy that. ETC on the small rigs, ETC on the big ones — diversification of boredom.
Hot take incoming: multisig with a written recovery plan beats any single clever hiding spot. Anyone measuring something different?
My spreadsheet says stop; the basement full of warm hashboards says continue. Anyone tried the opposite?
Strong disagree with the last reply — solo mining BTC is a lottery where you keep the ticket price as expected value. I still buy the ticket. Anyone measuring something different?
Good thread this. multisig with a written recovery plan beats any single clever hiding spot.
Reading this from {place}, insurance for rented-out rigs is decoration unless the use is named in writing.
Been thinking about this all week. my L7 has been at it for 87 days straight and the numbers at the wall still surprise me. Anyone measuring something different?
Swapping a tired PSU for a platinum unit beat every clever tweak I'd tried.
Genuine question first: the energy argument lands better with a greenhouse tour than a statistic.
XMR on the small rigs, XMR on the big ones — diversification of boredom. Convince me otherwise.
