Weekly wins and losses thread

For what it's worth, running a node changed how I think about the whole stack, mining included. Anyone measuring something different?

Second-hand KS3 prices near me make repair skills worth more than new hardware.

Been thinking about this all week. multisig with a written recovery plan beats any single clever hiding spot. What's your setup?

This matches my experience. renting hashrate for LTC taught me more in 28 hours than a month of reading. Anyone tried the opposite?

Same here honestly. second-hand Bitaxe prices near me make repair skills worth more than new hardware. Anyone measuring something different?

Late to this one but multisig with a written recovery plan beats any single clever hiding spot. Convince me otherwise.

Counterpoint: KAS on the small rigs, KAS on the big ones — diversification of boredom. What's everyone else seeing?

Late to this one but renting hashrate for ETC taught me more in 21 hours than a month of reading. Anyone measuring something different?

Not sure I buy that. firmware updates over USB first, OTA only after you trust the supply. Learned the hard way.

Second this. undervolting bought me 21% efficiency for a small hashrate haircut, and I'd do it again. Anyone tried the opposite?

For what it's worth, the real cost is never the rig, it's the 3377W nobody budgets for. What's everyone else seeing?
