Been thinking about this all week. renting hashrate for KAS taught me more in 26 hours than a month of reading.
Not sure I buy that. I killed a hashboard learning hotair rework and consider it tuition. What's your setup?
Genuine question first: undervolting bought me 11% efficiency for a small hashrate haircut, and I'd do it again. Anyone measuring something different?
Been thinking about this all week. my seed backup plan finally moved from paper to steel this month. Sleep improved. What's your setup?
Late to this one but my S19 has been at it for 58 days straight and the numbers at the wall still surprise me.
