Renters: what made you trust a listing?
Hot take incoming: my seed backup plan finally moved from paper to steel this month. Sleep improved.
Been thinking about this all week. the noise problem is solved by distance, not gadgets. the workshop was the real fix. Anyone tried the opposite?
Solo mining ALPH is a lottery where you keep the ticket price as expected value. I still buy the ticket.
Pool fees look small until you count payout friction on top. Anyone tried the opposite?
Solo mining XMR is a lottery where you keep the ticket price as expected value. I still buy the ticket. Numbers welcome.
Not sure I buy that. heat reuse in the garage is what makes the maths work for me in winter.
Underrated topic. swapping a tired PSU for a platinum unit beat every clever tweak I'd tried. Anyone tried the opposite?
Reading this from {place}, the best mining alpha left is patience plus a boring power contract. Am I missing something obvious?
Second this. the energy argument lands better with a greenhouse tour than a statistic. What's everyone else seeing?

Interesting point above. my KS3 has been at it for 51 days straight and the numbers at the wall still surprise me.
My spreadsheet says stop; the garage full of warm hashboards says continue. What's your setup?
Second this. running a node changed how I think about the whole stack, mining included.

Second-hand S19 prices near me make repair skills worth more than new hardware.

Second this. insurance for rented-out rigs is decoration unless the use is named in writing. Would you do it differently?
Strong disagree with the last reply — renting out my spare M60 paid for its own repairs this quarter. Am I missing something obvious?
