Best budget PSU finds this month
Firmware updates over USB first, OTA only after you trust the supply. Learned the hard way.
For what it's worth, my seed backup plan finally moved from paper to steel this month. Sleep improved. Am I missing something obvious?
Interesting point above. undervolting bought me 13% efficiency for a small hashrate haircut, and I'd do it again.
Second this. a 1942W night-tariff window is the closest thing to free money in home mining.
I moved everything to immersion and the difference was bigger than any chip tweak.
I moved everything to a wall meter and the difference was bigger than any chip tweak. Convince me otherwise.
Second this. the best mining alpha left is patience plus a boring power contract. Numbers welcome.
Been thinking about this all week. renting out my spare old S9 paid for its own repairs this quarter.
Reading this from {place}, undervolting bought me 11% efficiency for a small hashrate haircut, and I'd do it again.
Swapping a tired PSU for a platinum unit beat every clever tweak I'd tried. What's everyone else seeing?
This matches my experience. second-hand Bitaxe Gamma prices near me make repair skills worth more than new hardware. Would you do it differently?
Been thinking about this all week. the best mining alpha left is patience plus a boring power contract. What's your setup?
Second this. a 3100W night-tariff window is the closest thing to free money in home mining. Numbers welcome.
Not sure I buy that. I moved everything to a wall meter and the difference was bigger than any chip tweak. Am I missing something obvious?
Counterpoint: the best mining alpha left is patience plus a boring power contract. What's everyone else seeing?
Hot take incoming: my L7 has been at it for 89 days straight and the numbers at the wall still surprise me. What's everyone else seeing?
This matches my experience. the best mining alpha left is patience plus a boring power contract. Convince me otherwise.
Hot take incoming: I killed a hashboard learning hotair rework and consider it tuition. Anyone measuring something different?
Late to this one but the real cost is never the rig, it's the 1179W nobody budgets for. Curious what the group thinks.
Not sure I buy that. renting out my spare KS3 paid for its own repairs this quarter.
Not sure I buy that. renting hashrate for RVN taught me more in 27 hours than a month of reading. Curious what the group thinks.
My seed backup plan finally moved from paper to steel this month. Sleep improved. Convince me otherwise.
Interesting point above. my Bitaxe has been at it for 5 days straight and the numbers at the wall still surprise me. What's everyone else seeing?

I treat mining income as a slow DCA and the mood swings stopped.
Underrated topic. a 964W night-tariff window is the closest thing to free money in home mining. What's your setup?

Interesting point above. I moved everything to a PDU with metering and the difference was bigger than any chip tweak. What's your setup?
For what it's worth, difficulty grinding up is just the market telling you to find cheaper power.
Good thread this. a 1941W night-tariff window is the closest thing to free money in home mining. Am I missing something obvious?
I keep one flexible rig warm purely for new PoW launches. Preparation beats hashrate. Numbers welcome.
Interesting point above. undervolting bought me 5% efficiency for a small hashrate haircut, and I'd do it again. Numbers welcome.
Hot take incoming: renting out my spare Bitaxe Gamma paid for its own repairs this quarter. Anyone tried the opposite?
Not sure I buy that. the real cost is never the rig, it's the 1426W nobody budgets for. Anyone measuring something different?
This matches my experience. renting out my spare M60 paid for its own repairs this quarter.
Cable temperature is the diagnostic nobody checks. Warm connectors are wasted watts.
Same here honestly. renting hashrate for ETC taught me more in 33 hours than a month of reading. What's your setup?

Genuine question first: my seed backup plan finally moved from paper to steel this month. Sleep improved. Anyone measuring something different?
Second this. the real cost is never the rig, it's the 1646W nobody budgets for. Curious what the group thinks.
Been thinking about this all week. undervolting bought me 3% efficiency for a small hashrate haircut, and I'd do it again. Anyone measuring something different?
Same here honestly. swapping a tired PSU for a platinum unit beat every clever tweak I'd tried. Convince me otherwise.
The noise problem is solved by distance, not gadgets. a shed was the real fix.

For what it's worth, XMR on the small rigs, XMR on the big ones — diversification of boredom. Anyone measuring something different?
Good thread this. my S21 has been at it for 40 days straight and the numbers at the wall still surprise me. What's everyone else seeing?
Same here honestly. the energy argument lands better with a greenhouse tour than a statistic. Numbers welcome.
Second this. heat reuse in a shed is what makes the maths work for me in winter. Convince me otherwise.
Second this. running a node changed how I think about the whole stack, mining included. Am I missing something obvious?
This matches my experience. I moved everything to a PDU with metering and the difference was bigger than any chip tweak.
Late to this one but multisig with a written recovery plan beats any single clever hiding spot. What's everyone else seeing?

Not sure I buy that. renting hashrate for BTC taught me more in 14 hours than a month of reading. Numbers welcome.
Hot take incoming: the real cost is never the rig, it's the 1261W nobody budgets for.
Hot take incoming: solo mining ETC is a lottery where you keep the ticket price as expected value. I still buy the ticket.

Counterpoint: my spreadsheet says stop; the workshop full of warm hashboards says continue.

Strong disagree with the last reply — firmware updates over USB first, OTA only after you trust the supply. Learned the hard way.

Genuine question first: I moved everything to a used server PSU and the difference was bigger than any chip tweak. Numbers welcome.
