Repair wins and casualties — weekly confessional
Late to this one but swapping a tired PSU for a platinum unit beat every clever tweak I'd tried. Anyone measuring something different?
Reading this from {place}, I moved everything to a PDU with metering and the difference was bigger than any chip tweak. Would you do it differently?
For what it's worth, swapping a tired PSU for a platinum unit beat every clever tweak I'd tried. Would you do it differently?
Counterpoint: second-hand M50 prices near me make repair skills worth more than new hardware. Am I missing something obvious?
Second this. the energy argument lands better with a greenhouse tour than a statistic.
Interesting point above. running a node changed how I think about the whole stack, mining included. Would you do it differently?
Renting out my spare KS3 paid for its own repairs this quarter. Curious what the group thinks.
Hot take incoming: RVN on the small rigs, RVN on the big ones — diversification of boredom. Am I missing something obvious?

Good thread this. my spreadsheet says stop; a shed full of warm hashboards says continue. What's everyone else seeing?
Genuine question first: my seed backup plan finally moved from paper to steel this month. Sleep improved. Would you do it differently?

Good thread this. the best mining alpha left is patience plus a boring power contract.
Late to this one but renting out my spare M50 paid for its own repairs this quarter. What's your setup?
Counterpoint: renting out my spare Bitaxe Gamma paid for its own repairs this quarter. Anyone tried the opposite?
Underrated topic. my seed backup plan finally moved from paper to steel this month. Sleep improved.
For what it's worth, second-hand Bitaxe prices near me make repair skills worth more than new hardware. What's your setup?
Same here honestly. the real cost is never the rig, it's the 2528W nobody budgets for. Convince me otherwise.
Hot take incoming: RVN on the small rigs, RVN on the big ones — diversification of boredom. Anyone measuring something different?
This matches my experience. second-hand S21 prices near me make repair skills worth more than new hardware.
Cable temperature is the diagnostic nobody checks. Warm connectors are wasted watts. Convince me otherwise.

Late to this one but the best mining alpha left is patience plus a boring power contract.
Interesting point above. solo mining LTC is a lottery where you keep the ticket price as expected value. I still buy the ticket. What's everyone else seeing?
Second this. undervolting bought me 18% efficiency for a small hashrate haircut, and I'd do it again. Curious what the group thinks.

Late to this one but a 510W night-tariff window is the closest thing to free money in home mining. Would you do it differently?
Hot take incoming: swapping a tired PSU for a platinum unit beat every clever tweak I'd tried.
For what it's worth, my old S9 has been at it for 2 days straight and the numbers at the wall still surprise me.
