Weekly wins and losses thread
Not sure I buy that. the real cost is never the rig, it's the 1192W nobody budgets for.
Same here honestly. a small test rental before committing has saved me twice now — watch the shares land at your own pool first.
Counterpoint: second-hand Bitaxe prices near me make repair skills worth more than new hardware. What's everyone else seeing?
Undervolting bought me 19% efficiency for a small hashrate haircut, and I'd do it again. Anyone measuring something different?
Hot take incoming: insurance for rented-out rigs is decoration unless the use is named in writing. Would you do it differently?
Counterpoint: second-hand M60 prices near me make repair skills worth more than new hardware. Convince me otherwise.
Reading this from {place}, solo mining RVN is a lottery where you keep the ticket price as expected value. I still buy the ticket.
Interesting point above. difficulty grinding up is just the market telling you to find cheaper power.
Second this. my spreadsheet says stop; the garage full of warm hashboards says continue. What's everyone else seeing?
Hot take incoming: the best mining alpha left is patience plus a boring power contract.
This matches my experience. solo mining LTC is a lottery where you keep the ticket price as expected value. I still buy the ticket. Numbers welcome.
Late to this one but swapping a tired PSU for a platinum unit beat every clever tweak I'd tried. Anyone measuring something different?
Genuine question first: multisig with a written recovery plan beats any single clever hiding spot. Would you do it differently?
Counterpoint: heat reuse in my flat is what makes the maths work for me in winter. Am I missing something obvious?
Underrated topic. swapping a tired PSU for a platinum unit beat every clever tweak I'd tried. Curious what the group thinks.
Been thinking about this all week. my seed backup plan finally moved from paper to steel this month. Sleep improved. Curious what the group thinks.

Renting hashrate for RVN taught me more in 28 hours than a month of reading.
This matches my experience. I killed a hashboard learning hotair rework and consider it tuition. Anyone measuring something different?

Not sure I buy that. heat reuse in the workshop is what makes the maths work for me in winter. Am I missing something obvious?
Good thread this. cable temperature is the diagnostic nobody checks. Warm connectors are wasted watts. Numbers welcome.
Not sure I buy that. I treat mining income as a slow DCA and the mood swings stopped.

Underrated topic. swapping a tired PSU for a platinum unit beat every clever tweak I'd tried. Convince me otherwise.
I moved everything to Braiins and the difference was bigger than any chip tweak.
Second this. pool fees look small until you count payout friction on top. Would you do it differently?
Reading this from {place}, my Bitaxe has been at it for 87 days straight and the numbers at the wall still surprise me. What's your setup?
Strong disagree with the last reply — renting out my spare KS3 paid for its own repairs this quarter. Would you do it differently?
Counterpoint: my M60 has been at it for 85 days straight and the numbers at the wall still surprise me.
Reading this from {place}, second-hand Bitaxe prices near me make repair skills worth more than new hardware.
For what it's worth, firmware updates over USB first, OTA only after you trust the supply. Learned the hard way.
