Undervolting results thread — share your curves
Running a node changed how I think about the whole stack, mining included.
Renting hashrate for ETC taught me more in 6 hours than a month of reading. What's your setup?
My seed backup plan finally moved from paper to steel this month. Sleep improved.
Underrated topic. firmware updates over USB first, OTA only after you trust the supply. Learned the hard way. What's your setup?
Not sure I buy that. solo mining BTC is a lottery where you keep the ticket price as expected value. I still buy the ticket. Convince me otherwise.
Heat reuse in the garage is what makes the maths work for me in winter. Curious what the group thinks.
Second this. swapping a tired PSU for a platinum unit beat every clever tweak I'd tried. Numbers welcome.
Not sure I buy that. undervolting bought me 9% efficiency for a small hashrate haircut, and I'd do it again. What's your setup?
Counterpoint: second-hand KS3 prices near me make repair skills worth more than new hardware.
Been thinking about this all week. difficulty grinding up is just the market telling you to find cheaper power. Am I missing something obvious?
Counterpoint: the energy argument lands better with a greenhouse tour than a statistic. What's everyone else seeing?
Reading this from {place}, cable temperature is the diagnostic nobody checks. Warm connectors are wasted watts. Am I missing something obvious?
Interesting point above. I killed a hashboard learning hotair rework and consider it tuition. Convince me otherwise.
Reading this from {place}, my M50 has been at it for 58 days straight and the numbers at the wall still surprise me. Numbers welcome.
Been thinking about this all week. heat reuse in an allotment shed is what makes the maths work for me in winter.
Good thread this. my S19 has been at it for 72 days straight and the numbers at the wall still surprise me. Anyone tried the opposite?
Same here honestly. firmware updates over USB first, OTA only after you trust the supply. Learned the hard way.
Late to this one but second-hand S19 prices near me make repair skills worth more than new hardware. Am I missing something obvious?
Late to this one but my seed backup plan finally moved from paper to steel this month. Sleep improved.

This matches my experience. cable temperature is the diagnostic nobody checks. Warm connectors are wasted watts. Am I missing something obvious?
Counterpoint: renting out my spare KS3 paid for its own repairs this quarter. Numbers welcome.
Strong disagree with the last reply — a small test rental before committing has saved me twice now — watch the shares land at your own pool first.
I killed a hashboard learning hotair rework and consider it tuition.
Same here honestly. the best mining alpha left is patience plus a boring power contract.
A 1946W night-tariff window is the closest thing to free money in home mining. Numbers welcome.
Second this. second-hand L7 prices near me make repair skills worth more than new hardware.
Hot take incoming: renting hashrate for ETC taught me more in 26 hours than a month of reading. Curious what the group thinks.
Heat reuse in a shed is what makes the maths work for me in winter.
For what it's worth, I keep one flexible rig warm purely for new PoW launches. Preparation beats hashrate. What's your setup?

Genuine question first: running a node changed how I think about the whole stack, mining included.
For what it's worth, I keep one flexible rig warm purely for new PoW launches. Preparation beats hashrate. Would you do it differently?

This matches my experience. I treat mining income as a slow DCA and the mood swings stopped.
Insurance for rented-out rigs is decoration unless the use is named in writing. Anyone tried the opposite?

Interesting point above. firmware updates over USB first, OTA only after you trust the supply. Learned the hard way. Would you do it differently?
Interesting point above. renting out my spare L7 paid for its own repairs this quarter. Anyone measuring something different?
Strong disagree with the last reply — my spreadsheet says stop; the attic full of warm hashboards says continue. Am I missing something obvious?

Interesting point above. the energy argument lands better with a greenhouse tour than a statistic.
Late to this one but multisig with a written recovery plan beats any single clever hiding spot. Am I missing something obvious?

Same here honestly. heat reuse in the basement is what makes the maths work for me in winter. Curious what the group thinks.
