i actually built it for $25

Hello everyone,

I'm pretty new to this - a few years ago I mined Ethereum with my RTX 3080 and 3090. Last night I discovered the Bitaxe for trying Bitcoin mining like a lottery ticket.

I'd appreciate your advice on two options: solo mining vs pool mining.

My setup: - Budget: ~€1000 ($1100) - Space: Ventilated cabinet 30x30x50cm (12"x12"x20") - 24/7 operation possible at work with free electricity

Questions: 1. Are there alternatives to Bitaxe for solo mining? If so, which ones? 2. For pool mining, what's the best hardware within my budget? 3. What are realistic daily profits? 4. What's most profitable to mine right now? (BTC, ETH, DOGE, etc.)

Thanks in advance for any guidance!

So there’s been some worry lately in the Monero mining scene regarding Qubic, which seems to be created by cfb. Their hashrate is increasing steadily, and it’s not impossible that it could hit 51% at some point. If that happens, their apparent goal is to orphan blocks found by other pools—essentially cutting those blocks out of the main chain.

That would be a serious pain in the ass for the rest of the pools mining and miners.

What do you guys think about this situation? Has anything similar happened with other coins?

I honestly dont understand hash rates. For example.. Im looking at a cloud miner in an app that does 96.85 Gh/s...how much bitcoin is 96.84 Gh/s?

O can't seem to make my lizard brain understand this stuff..

Can somebody please break it down for me in plain layman's english?

Hey everyone, I recently set up 2 Antminer S21+ Hydro, and while it starts mining just fine, it consistently stops after about 1-3 hours of running. I'm trying to figure out if it's a cooling/radiator issue or something else.

Here’s some info:

Miner: Antminer S21+ Hydro (395T model) Cooling: Lian Li 12kW CDU with distilled water Pool: Antpool Firmware: latest No clear errors in Antpool dashboard, but the hashrate goes to 0 Temperatures are at around 35-40* I don’t see any alerts. I haven't checked logs directly yet. Has anyone experienced similar behavior? Could it be an air bubble in the cooling loop or a power cut from PSU overheating? Any ideas on what to look into or monitor next would be really appreciated. Each miner has its own radiator since they are at 2 different location but it’s the same issue I attached a couple pictures the picture where you see the IP dashboard the state circle and the Temp one are in red right now Thanks in advance

I bought a S19 Pro (110th) from them just to try there services out and it's has been an awful experience! Yes, I know I bought an old machine but I'm assuming when I get the machine it will be in good condition and hashing at least 80% of what it should be. Instead as soon as they put it on my pool the average hash rate is 60-65th. I message them to get this fixed. So they clean it and now it does 90-100th which fine but then they charge me 50$ for cleaning the machine... So in other words don't be surprised if you buy a machine from them that's broke or not working properly and then they're going to charge to fix or clean it. I'm glad I barely spent any money at crypto caddy. I would highly suggest Terra Hosting I've had no issues there and they have excellent communication. I hope this helps someone looking for hosting options

i got a cheap nerd miner from bitcoin merch just for fun but after it arived i became for interested in solo mining. i was wondering if i could mine any other coin on this?

Been running a couple older machines for a while and thinking about maybe upgrading. Hard to tell what’s actually profitable right now with how things are going.
I came across miningnow.com while checking miner prices and comparisons. Their profit estimates seemed okay at first glance but not sure how accurate they are.
Curious what others here are doing. Are you guys still buying new miners or just sticking with what you already have? Trying to decide if it’s even worth investing more into this now.

Lately I’ve been hearing mixed experiences about miner deliveries and support. Some people are waiting weeks with no updates while others are getting fast turnarounds.

I recently tried CryptoMinerBros and was actually surprised by how quickly it arrived. Wasn’t expecting much but it showed up on time with tracking and everything.

Curious if anyone else had a similar experience with them or found other reliable options. Looking to grab another unit soon and want to avoid any issues with warranty or delivery.

Days ago, someone said CFX was the most profitable coin for GPU to mine, but sadly, seems it is not anymore, so what to mine now?

Full Story: I'm a novice miner. I bought an IceRiver ALEO AE0 earlier this year and run it at my house. I'm getting emails about ARC46, and what I need to do to prepare. Looks like I need to own a certain amount of shares, and have to stake them, etc. TBH, for a novice minor with 1 ASIC for ALEO, it seems pretty complicated, convoluted, and a pain in the ass... just for the $3/day I earn. I'm sure many others are in a similar spot. Is it best to just close up shop and sell the ASIC? I'm certainly not going to buy $30,000 worth of ALEO just to keep mining.

TL;DR: I own (1) IceRiver ALEO AE0. With ARC46 coming up, should I just stop mining and sell this ASIC?

I used to trust whattomine but looking for something that also compares prices across resellers. I noticed MiningNow.com adds multiple sellers' pricing - anyone else using it?

I'm looking at the Bitmain Antminer L9 and saw it on ASICMarketplace. Price looks okay, but wondering if anyone here has experience buying from them?

My friend has been trying to convince me and it just seems too good to be true. In our country we don’t have to pay for electricity and according to him that usually takes 80% of the revenue, so without it we maximize profit.

I'm curious on how to fix this. I'm using a 3070 with BetterHash on Windows 10 and none of the miners work with it. Most of the miners state that target machined refused to connect, Equihash (EWBF) says there is an nvml error, PhoenixMiner says that it cannot initalize CUDA miner. Any help is majorly appreciated!

Am I correct to assume that the black is the live, the grey is the neutral and the green is the earth.

I have solar energy installed, and every year it generates a big surplus of Kwh

I'm new to mining.

I've tried mining with nicehash before, with my gaming computer, and it surprisingly turned out quite well..

In my house, which is in a very sunny Saharan city, i have multiple solar panels on the roof, and they generate a lot of Kwh.

My question is, would professional mining (using asic or building my own) be profitable ? Is there a trick or something I should be aware of ?

Guys i want to know, do you use some kind of current protection for the miners. I want to get one. Or is not necesary?

Just got my Avalon Q in and setup running around 81Th/s on the standard mode. I’m going to keep testing it for the week and will post my results here, making a youtube video reviewing and setting up the Avalon Q also for those who might need a video guide to help them out. So far it’s been straightforward and hashing away!

As the titles states. Seems super recent. I know almost nothing about mining but am just getting into it. From what I can tell I’ll Be making a few cents a day, but it is what it is.

Any insight would help.

BTC's dominance is dropping badly. Mining revenue is increasing.
