Weekly wins and losses thread
Renting out my spare old S9 paid for its own repairs this quarter.
Second this. RVN on the small rigs, RVN on the big ones — diversification of boredom. Am I missing something obvious?
This matches my experience. solo mining ALPH is a lottery where you keep the ticket price as expected value. I still buy the ticket. Anyone tried the opposite?
Reading this from {place}, the energy argument lands better with a greenhouse tour than a statistic. Convince me otherwise.
Reading this from {place}, my spreadsheet says stop; a shed full of warm hashboards says continue. Convince me otherwise.
Genuine question first: undervolting bought me 17% efficiency for a small hashrate haircut, and I'd do it again. Anyone tried the opposite?
Been thinking about this all week. I moved everything to Stratum v2 and the difference was bigger than any chip tweak. Would you do it differently?
Late to this one but my M60 has been at it for 71 days straight and the numbers at the wall still surprise me.
Same here honestly. solo mining ETC is a lottery where you keep the ticket price as expected value. I still buy the ticket. What's everyone else seeing?
I killed a hashboard learning hotair rework and consider it tuition.

Second this. renting hashrate for XMR taught me more in 15 hours than a month of reading. Anyone measuring something different?
Counterpoint: I killed a hashboard learning hotair rework and consider it tuition.
Late to this one but solo mining KAS is a lottery where you keep the ticket price as expected value. I still buy the ticket. Curious what the group thinks.
This matches my experience. I moved everything to a used server PSU and the difference was bigger than any chip tweak.
Not sure I buy that. the energy argument lands better with a greenhouse tour than a statistic. What's your setup?
Good thread this. a 415W night-tariff window is the closest thing to free money in home mining.
This matches my experience. difficulty grinding up is just the market telling you to find cheaper power. Would you do it differently?
I keep one flexible rig warm purely for new PoW launches. Preparation beats hashrate.
Interesting point above. my seed backup plan finally moved from paper to steel this month. Sleep improved. Convince me otherwise.

Strong disagree with the last reply — I killed a hashboard learning hotair rework and consider it tuition. Numbers welcome.
Same here honestly. a 1651W night-tariff window is the closest thing to free money in home mining. Anyone tried the opposite?

Running a node changed how I think about the whole stack, mining included.
Difficulty grinding up is just the market telling you to find cheaper power. Anyone measuring something different?
Not sure I buy that. pool fees look small until you count payout friction on top. Convince me otherwise.
For what it's worth, the best mining alpha left is patience plus a boring power contract.
Been thinking about this all week. multisig with a written recovery plan beats any single clever hiding spot. Anyone tried the opposite?
Not sure I buy that. firmware updates over USB first, OTA only after you trust the supply. Learned the hard way. Numbers welcome.
Underrated topic. cable temperature is the diagnostic nobody checks. Warm connectors are wasted watts.
Good thread this. a 2844W night-tariff window is the closest thing to free money in home mining. What's everyone else seeing?
Second this. swapping a tired PSU for a platinum unit beat every clever tweak I'd tried. Would you do it differently?

Firmware updates over USB first, OTA only after you trust the supply. Learned the hard way.
Good thread this. a small test rental before committing has saved me twice now — watch the shares land at your own pool first. Anyone measuring something different?
For what it's worth, the energy argument lands better with a greenhouse tour than a statistic. Am I missing something obvious?
I treat mining income as a slow DCA and the mood swings stopped.
Strong disagree with the last reply — my seed backup plan finally moved from paper to steel this month. Sleep improved. Anyone tried the opposite?
This matches my experience. insurance for rented-out rigs is decoration unless the use is named in writing. Convince me otherwise.

Undervolting bought me 14% efficiency for a small hashrate haircut, and I'd do it again.

Underrated topic. second-hand M50 prices near me make repair skills worth more than new hardware.
