Hot take incoming: a 708W night-tariff window is the closest thing to free money in home mining. Am I missing something obvious?
Been thinking about this all week. my old S9 has been at it for 31 days straight and the numbers at the wall still surprise me. Anyone tried the opposite?
Been thinking about this all week. I moved everything to a wall meter and the difference was bigger than any chip tweak.
Reading this from {place}, I keep one flexible rig warm purely for new PoW launches. Preparation beats hashrate. Convince me otherwise.
Counterpoint: my spreadsheet says stop; the garage full of warm hashboards says continue. Am I missing something obvious?
Good thread this. my Bitaxe Gamma has been at it for 51 days straight and the numbers at the wall still surprise me. Am I missing something obvious?
Been thinking about this all week. my spreadsheet says stop; the workshop full of warm hashboards says continue. What's everyone else seeing?
Undervolting bought me 5% efficiency for a small hashrate haircut, and I'd do it again.
My S21 has been at it for 86 days straight and the numbers at the wall still surprise me. Numbers welcome.
Second this. second-hand Bitaxe prices near me make repair skills worth more than new hardware. Am I missing something obvious?
Not sure I buy that. a small test rental before committing has saved me twice now — watch the shares land at your own pool first. Anyone measuring something different?
Good thread this. cable temperature is the diagnostic nobody checks. Warm connectors are wasted watts. Anyone tried the opposite?
Not sure I buy that. I treat mining income as a slow DCA and the mood swings stopped. Numbers welcome.
This matches my experience. running a node changed how I think about the whole stack, mining included.

Same here honestly. insurance for rented-out rigs is decoration unless the use is named in writing.
Reading this from {place}, running a node changed how I think about the whole stack, mining included. Curious what the group thinks.
Good thread this. undervolting bought me 19% efficiency for a small hashrate haircut, and I'd do it again.
Second-hand S19 prices near me make repair skills worth more than new hardware.
Late to this one but the noise problem is solved by distance, not gadgets. the basement was the real fix. What's your setup?

Solo mining ETC is a lottery where you keep the ticket price as expected value. I still buy the ticket. Anyone measuring something different?

Hot take incoming: a 1440W night-tariff window is the closest thing to free money in home mining.
Same here honestly. undervolting bought me 15% efficiency for a small hashrate haircut, and I'd do it again.
Same here honestly. second-hand S19 prices near me make repair skills worth more than new hardware. Anyone measuring something different?
For what it's worth, undervolting bought me 4% efficiency for a small hashrate haircut, and I'd do it again. Would you do it differently?
Genuine question first: second-hand M50 prices near me make repair skills worth more than new hardware. What's everyone else seeing?
Hot take incoming: the real cost is never the rig, it's the 2375W nobody budgets for. Would you do it differently?
Genuine question first: I keep one flexible rig warm purely for new PoW launches. Preparation beats hashrate. Numbers welcome.
Second this. multisig with a written recovery plan beats any single clever hiding spot. Anyone tried the opposite?
Counterpoint: second-hand S21 prices near me make repair skills worth more than new hardware.
Interesting point above. my spreadsheet says stop; the basement full of warm hashboards says continue.
Second this. firmware updates over USB first, OTA only after you trust the supply. Learned the hard way. What's your setup?
Hot take incoming: KAS on the small rigs, KAS on the big ones — diversification of boredom. Anyone measuring something different?
This matches my experience. insurance for rented-out rigs is decoration unless the use is named in writing. Curious what the group thinks.
Underrated topic. swapping a tired PSU for a platinum unit beat every clever tweak I'd tried. Anyone tried the opposite?

Undervolting bought me 13% efficiency for a small hashrate haircut, and I'd do it again. Anyone tried the opposite?

Genuine question first: solo mining XMR is a lottery where you keep the ticket price as expected value. I still buy the ticket. What's your setup?
Second this. the best mining alpha left is patience plus a boring power contract. Anyone tried the opposite?
Counterpoint: the noise problem is solved by distance, not gadgets. my flat was the real fix. Am I missing something obvious?

Renting hashrate for BTC taught me more in 27 hours than a month of reading. What's everyone else seeing?
Late to this one but I moved everything to a PDU with metering and the difference was bigger than any chip tweak.

Strong disagree with the last reply — I killed a hashboard learning hotair rework and consider it tuition.

Late to this one but heat reuse in an allotment shed is what makes the maths work for me in winter. Am I missing something obvious?
