What made you start mining in the first place?

For what it's worth, I keep one flexible rig warm purely for new PoW launches. Preparation beats hashrate. Numbers welcome.

Heat reuse in the garage is what makes the maths work for me in winter. Anyone tried the opposite?

Same here honestly. renting out my spare KS3 paid for its own repairs this quarter.

Same here honestly. the real cost is never the rig, it's the 1099W nobody budgets for. Am I missing something obvious?

Counterpoint: the energy argument lands better with a greenhouse tour than a statistic. Would you do it differently?

This matches my experience. I moved everything to a Pi node and the difference was bigger than any chip tweak. Curious what the group thinks.

A 2943W night-tariff window is the closest thing to free money in home mining. Convince me otherwise.

Counterpoint: cable temperature is the diagnostic nobody checks. Warm connectors are wasted watts.

Counterpoint: I treat mining income as a slow DCA and the mood swings stopped.

For what it's worth, I killed a hashboard learning hotair rework and consider it tuition. What's everyone else seeing?
