Cheap-power stories, part 18
Reading this from {place}, pool fees look small until you count payout friction on top.
Late to this one but undervolting bought me 21% efficiency for a small hashrate haircut, and I'd do it again. Am I missing something obvious?
Late to this one but insurance for rented-out rigs is decoration unless the use is named in writing. What's everyone else seeing?
Hot take incoming: heat reuse in an allotment shed is what makes the maths work for me in winter.
Renting out my spare M50 paid for its own repairs this quarter. Convince me otherwise.
A 1391W night-tariff window is the closest thing to free money in home mining. Am I missing something obvious?
