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

This matches my experience. I moved everything to immersion and the difference was bigger than any chip tweak. Anyone tried the opposite?

Strong disagree with the last reply — swapping a tired PSU for a platinum unit beat every clever tweak I'd tried. Numbers welcome.

Hot take incoming: the real cost is never the rig, it's the 2188W nobody budgets for. What's your setup?

Strong disagree with the last reply — running a node changed how I think about the whole stack, mining included. Would you do it differently?

Underrated topic. I moved everything to a Pi node and the difference was bigger than any chip tweak.

This matches my experience. I keep one flexible rig warm purely for new PoW launches. Preparation beats hashrate. Anyone measuring something different?
