Any one do this here or nah?

Rent.
don't buy.
Those machines are made obsolete with every new model the manufacture creates.

Wrong, enjoy getting scammed or paying for thin-air.

The only way to win at mining is to be first to turn ROI.

You'd be better off hitting up reddit or BTC talk honestly. Industry is super competitive still so unless you write your own script to maximize returns on hashrate from different coins and constantly update it your probably better off just investing it. Jow Forums might still have some info, haven't been there in forever though.

Uhm.. if you rent you don't have to hear this ear grinding piece of shit, and you get the benefit of hashing blockchains early.
Most people who rent literally have the best rigs on the market current to date.

mining hardware comes out so fast you only stay ahead if you resell the hardware after a month or two of mining and invest in the next generation miners. rinse lather repeat

the health risks of mining are real too, if you are around these machines you can expect to have a higher chance of cancerous tumors forming on your body. Renting and getting a fat bag of altcoins is better than owning.

I used these as space heaters in the house during the winter. Cheaper than propane.

Resell value is not very high, and ASIC manufactures only want to sell the best & latest chipsets in bulk.

what is the roi?
a lot of mining rental company exit scammed anyway
i think either you go hardcore, find a place with cheap power and you setup thousands of them either is useless

I had a fairly large mining operation going for a while

which Mining rental companies brainlet?
ROI is typically +25% or higher if you Trade and accumulate off what you mined from your rental.

I got a small 8 GPU hobby rig going, 1080 TIs for the last 2 years or so. I keep it updated and clean it. In the winter its nice heat, in the summer I throttle it down. For me its like DCA'ing coins now.

nice. i have one asic and im wanting to reach into others. how did you get the ball rolling on accumulating more miners? i think it was said earlier in the thread about selling off old and buying the newest. im starting by buying some of the used ones. a lot cheaper, no tarriff issues and such but also lower returns. for a person newer to asics, best advice?

Fucking kek. Imagine thinking that a computer with no wireless functionality causes cancer

I've got an equihash miner that is very mildly profitable. The profitability always tanks like 3 weeks after they are released as everyone flips their shit to purchase them. Import costs in the USA are shit rn too

nice. What's your kwh price?

its a joke bro.

any one help an asic-let grow his farm?

I bought a 6969 watt ASIC but my panel can only support 3000 watt. How fucked am I?

Seriously though you need around 2.5-3x the wattage of your asic in solar panels to get a consistant charge 24x7

It was $0.09 usd last year, now its $0.10 usd. Rates seem to creep up over the years. I hope to keep them running for another year or two. Next time crypto moons I'll probably cashout $10k or so to upgrade or build a new miner.

Ive been in crypto a very long time but havent made it. I bought my current miner with crypto profits. Had an old PC mining to test, then just built a custom pc to mine, added 1 new GPU per month or so until I got to 8 then stopped. I like GPU miners just because its less noise and the parts can be resold or just added onto my main PC.

What did you pay for your rig and did your roi?

problem with mining equipment is that your ROI is higher if you just buy the coins and store them

I'd only mine if I had excess renewable energy
Although I think these new chips will stay relevant for a few years atleast because ASICs are nearing Moore's law

70% of mining is on renewables right now because its ultra-cheap.

Difficulty is stagnating and Moore;s law was already effectivly broken. IF you look at all the new Bitmain miners you will see that they are just scaled up versions of the s9 with a 20-30% increase in hashing per board. IN the future mining is just gonna be how many boards you can fit into a package people will buy

based and asic pilled. i have 220 for one miner right now. box is mostly empty so could add more 220.

i was looking at a miner that uses around 300 watts. i have a bitmain psu that powers an E3. the psu goes to 1600. the E3 and it would be less than 1600. could i split a psu like that? thanks.

im at about .1 as well.

ty user. i did mine gpu with 2 pcs i had around the home. used them to build up a stack and then sold the gpus for cash. was able to score an asic on the cheap afterward.

you are not wrong, short term.

im probably going solar in the next two years

E3 pulls around 700w non-OC so with a 300w sidekick you are putting 1000w power draw on your psu.

Rule of thumb, you want to keep around 20% of the powersupply capacity free or else you are going to burn out and degrade it.

Your setup should work and you could probably add two of the 300w miners to the same psu as the E3 if you undervolt them

Btw, Im curious. What miner are you buying that only pulls 300 watts? Legacy miners?

I was looking at a z9 mini. it takes 4 pci plugs. i only have i think 3 left on my psu. would a splitter of some sort work?

i am a asic noob and i cannot afford the leap to new yet but a number of older models are more in my budget for now. granted, if coin prices were rocketing even used would be more valuable. i think i did good starting mining/buying about a year and a half ago. pulling off getting into asic mining was an unexpected surprise.

you mentioned an e3 non OC. i have been wanting to underclock it for the summer to help keep in heat tolerances. i cant find anything solid on this though.

Personally never used a splitter but theoretically it seems like it would work. Another option here is running two boards since you're effictivly mining breakevem anyway.

Z9 minis and L3+ are easily becoming the best market options now. Both of them have aftermarket software which you can use to undervolt and under-clock.

Any buy under 150 is good for either. What I've been planning on doing was buying a bunch of l3s and then selling their psus to recoup the cost and matching them on server psus.

As for your E3 mate, i think thats a bit of a lost cause. To the best of my knowledge you undervolt those unless its through bitmains defualt page which usually only lets you change the clock speed not the voltage.

i appreciate you user. i am glad for the few pointers. may your gains be large, your power costs low. ty again.
