Weekly wins and losses thread
Been thinking about this all week. second-hand M60 prices near me make repair skills worth more than new hardware. Am I missing something obvious?
Not sure I buy that. 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?
Interesting point above. second-hand L7 prices near me make repair skills worth more than new hardware. Anyone measuring something different?
My spreadsheet says stop; a shed full of warm hashboards says continue. Anyone tried the opposite?
The best mining alpha left is patience plus a boring power contract.
Reading this from {place}, swapping a tired PSU for a platinum unit beat every clever tweak I'd tried.
Late to this one but firmware updates over USB first, OTA only after you trust the supply. Learned the hard way. Convince me otherwise.
For what it's worth, a small test rental before committing has saved me twice now — watch the shares land at your own pool first.
Not sure I buy that. heat reuse in an allotment shed is what makes the maths work for me in winter.
I moved everything to a Pi node and the difference was bigger than any chip tweak. Anyone tried the opposite?
Good thread this. cable temperature is the diagnostic nobody checks. Warm connectors are wasted watts.
Counterpoint: I keep one flexible rig warm purely for new PoW launches. Preparation beats hashrate. Numbers welcome.
Same here honestly. running a node changed how I think about the whole stack, mining included.
Second-hand old S9 prices near me make repair skills worth more than new hardware. What's your setup?
Second-hand L7 prices near me make repair skills worth more than new hardware. What's your setup?
For what it's worth, my spreadsheet says stop; my flat full of warm hashboards says continue. Curious what the group thinks.
Late to this one but pool fees look small until you count payout friction on top. What's your setup?
Reading this from {place}, insurance for rented-out rigs is decoration unless the use is named in writing.
Underrated topic. the best mining alpha left is patience plus a boring power contract.
Second this. my seed backup plan finally moved from paper to steel this month. Sleep improved. Anyone tried the opposite?
Reading this from {place}, the noise problem is solved by distance, not gadgets. the basement was the real fix.

Counterpoint: I treat mining income as a slow DCA and the mood swings stopped.
Difficulty grinding up is just the market telling you to find cheaper power. Am I missing something obvious?
Same here honestly. the real cost is never the rig, it's the 1773W nobody budgets for.

Undervolting bought me 8% efficiency for a small hashrate haircut, and I'd do it again.
