Payout thresholds and the fees nobody counts

Counterpoint: undervolting bought me 7% efficiency for a small hashrate haircut, and I'd do it again. What's everyone else seeing?

Underrated topic. I killed a hashboard learning hotair rework and consider it tuition. Curious what the group thinks.

For what it's worth, running a node changed how I think about the whole stack, mining included. Curious what the group thinks.

Same here honestly. insurance for rented-out rigs is decoration unless the use is named in writing. Convince me otherwise.

Counterpoint: a small test rental before committing has saved me twice now — watch the shares land at your own pool first. Anyone measuring something different?

This matches my experience. I moved everything to ESP-Miner and the difference was bigger than any chip tweak.
