Undervolting results thread — share your curves
Genuine question first: firmware updates over USB first, OTA only after you trust the supply. Learned the hard way. What's everyone else seeing?
Late to this one but my Bitaxe Gamma has been at it for 87 days straight and the numbers at the wall still surprise me.
Second this. solo mining RVN is a lottery where you keep the ticket price as expected value. I still buy the ticket. Anyone measuring something different?
Counterpoint: the noise problem is solved by distance, not gadgets. the garage was the real fix. Convince me otherwise.
Late to this one but a small test rental before committing has saved me twice now — watch the shares land at your own pool first. Numbers welcome.
For what it's worth, solo mining KAS is a lottery where you keep the ticket price as expected value. I still buy the ticket. Curious what the group thinks.
Interesting point above. my spreadsheet says stop; the workshop full of warm hashboards says continue.
My spreadsheet says stop; a shed full of warm hashboards says continue. Convince me otherwise.
Strong disagree with the last reply — my spreadsheet says stop; the attic full of warm hashboards says continue. Anyone tried the opposite?
Second this. insurance for rented-out rigs is decoration unless the use is named in writing. Anyone measuring something different?
Genuine question first: renting hashrate for XMR taught me more in 7 hours than a month of reading.
Not sure I buy that. renting out my spare old S9 paid for its own repairs this quarter.
Second this. I treat mining income as a slow DCA and the mood swings stopped. Am I missing something obvious?
This matches my experience. pool fees look small until you count payout friction on top. Anyone tried the opposite?
I moved everything to ESP-Miner and the difference was bigger than any chip tweak.
Same here honestly. I moved everything to Braiins and the difference was bigger than any chip tweak. Am I missing something obvious?
Been thinking about this all week. BTC on the small rigs, BTC on the big ones — diversification of boredom. Would you do it differently?
The real cost is never the rig, it's the 3286W nobody budgets for. Anyone measuring something different?
Interesting point above. running a node changed how I think about the whole stack, mining included.
Interesting point above. I killed a hashboard learning hotair rework and consider it tuition. Numbers welcome.
Undervolting bought me 15% efficiency for a small hashrate haircut, and I'd do it again. Curious what the group thinks.
Hot take incoming: my seed backup plan finally moved from paper to steel this month. Sleep improved.

Reading this from {place}, renting hashrate for LTC taught me more in 4 hours than a month of reading.
Renting hashrate for BTC taught me more in 16 hours than a month of reading. Anyone measuring something different?
Been thinking about this all week. I treat mining income as a slow DCA and the mood swings stopped.
Second this. I keep one flexible rig warm purely for new PoW launches. Preparation beats hashrate. Convince me otherwise.
Swapping a tired PSU for a platinum unit beat every clever tweak I'd tried. Anyone tried the opposite?
Strong disagree with the last reply — second-hand KS3 prices near me make repair skills worth more than new hardware. Numbers welcome.
Good thread this. second-hand S19 prices near me make repair skills worth more than new hardware. Convince me otherwise.
For what it's worth, I moved everything to a wall meter and the difference was bigger than any chip tweak. Anyone measuring something different?
Strong disagree with the last reply — the real cost is never the rig, it's the 2361W nobody budgets for. Curious what the group thinks.

Interesting point above. the noise problem is solved by distance, not gadgets. my flat was the real fix. Anyone tried the opposite?
Late to this one but second-hand Bitaxe prices near me make repair skills worth more than new hardware. What's your setup?
This matches my experience. multisig with a written recovery plan beats any single clever hiding spot. Convince me otherwise.

Reading this from {place}, the best mining alpha left is patience plus a boring power contract.

This matches my experience. my KS3 has been at it for 56 days straight and the numbers at the wall still surprise me.
This matches my experience. heat reuse in the basement is what makes the maths work for me in winter.
Been thinking about this all week. a 126W night-tariff window is the closest thing to free money in home mining. Curious what the group thinks.
Strong disagree with the last reply — a 2300W night-tariff window is the closest thing to free money in home mining.

Interesting point above. difficulty grinding up is just the market telling you to find cheaper power.
Genuine question first: insurance for rented-out rigs is decoration unless the use is named in writing. Curious what the group thinks.
Cable temperature is the diagnostic nobody checks. Warm connectors are wasted watts.
Been thinking about this all week. a 93W night-tariff window is the closest thing to free money in home mining. Numbers welcome.
