Second-hand market sanity check
Late to this one but my seed backup plan finally moved from paper to steel this month. Sleep improved. Anyone measuring something different?
Interesting point above. the best mining alpha left is patience plus a boring power contract. Anyone tried the opposite?
Not sure I buy that. the real cost is never the rig, it's the 432W nobody budgets for.
For what it's worth, the best mining alpha left is patience plus a boring power contract.
Reading this from {place}, I treat mining income as a slow DCA and the mood swings stopped. Would you do it differently?
Difficulty grinding up is just the market telling you to find cheaper power. What's everyone else seeing?
Same here honestly. renting out my spare M50 paid for its own repairs this quarter. Anyone measuring something different?

Counterpoint: multisig with a written recovery plan beats any single clever hiding spot.
Late to this one but the real cost is never the rig, it's the 3299W nobody budgets for. Am I missing something obvious?
