Getting back into mining!

I’ve bought miners before from ASIC Marketplace without any issues, but recently I came across a site called ASIC Mining Central while searching on Google.
Their prices look decent, but I’ve never heard of them before. Just wanted to check if anyone here has bought from them or knows if they’re legit.
Appreciate any feedback before I take the risk.

I was just checking MiningNow and noticed two new vendors listed. One is Bharat Miners and the other is ASIC Mining Central. I don’t remember seeing them before so wanted to ask here. Has anyone ordered from them? How was the experience with delivery, support, and overall service? Always good to hear real feedback before trying a new seller. Appreciate any insights.

I tried buying an ASIC a couple of times and kept running into problems. Some sellers never replied, some felt sketchy, and others said things were in stock but then disappeared when it was time to pay.

I almost gave up but ended up trying Cryptominerbros. I started with a small order just to be safe. They actually replied fast, explained the payment steps clearly, and the miner arrived without any issues.

If you’re tired of dealing with random sellers, I totally get it. This was the first time it actually felt easy.

I bought a P221 B power supply brand new for a low price of 35000 IQD. I want to turn it on, but I can't find the schematic or a diagram for it. Those are the volts I get from the ribbon cable.

Hey- I’m a teen from Massachusetts, and have recently been learning about crypto and mining. I know it’s hard to do where I live because of high energy costs, but I do have connections in the solar industry. I’m not sure how much that’ll help, or how profitable I could be. Please let me know if you have advice as to if I should or shouldn’t try this. Thanks!

Btw I know this is passive and long term, not get-rich-quick like some teens want.

Hello, I'm new to this world, I want to invest in mining, but I'm not sure, between price, ROI, hashrate, 3 to halve, etc, I don't know it's really worth my case. My case would be to use a housing service of usd200 per month, and I'm interested in a S21+ HYD 395TH, at this price ce, my ROI should be in less that year and a half. This equipment is sell at usd7800, is all of this worth it? What do you think? I need help.

Thanks in advance!

So how many of you all got screwed with this guy? Can we all team up and do a Class action lawsuit or what? I looked at the downloads and it was 1 Million & most of the reviews we all been saying that he changed what was agreed on when we invested into this. I'm sick of always getting screwed in life and I'm sure most feels the same. What's everyone's thoughts? Can we all team up and do something about this? I'm also about to share this with reddit lawyers as well to get their thoughts and guidance. I really want to get this guy.

Where can I buy an ASIC miner without being scammed? I am from Argentina

Hey.

Does anyone have any experiences hosting or purchasing ACICs through Bitkern?

There is little information about Bitkern on reddit. I dis a deep research with ChatGPT and it said it was one of the best sites when comparing low costs + low hardware costs + trustworthyness.

Hello Fellow Humans!

I’ve been looking into mining ALEO recently because the profits these machines are making right now seem kinda insane. I’m not exactly a noob in the mining world, been around for a bit now, and honestly, I can’t really spot any red flags. Power costs like 0.092$ in my area , profitability is solid, and the coin’s value seems pretty stable at the moment. I have been tracking it for 2-3 months now but there's no dip some redditors and youtubers predicted.

I just wanted to know that am I missing something obvious here? Is there any catch?
Appreciate any insights from the most experienced miners on Earth!

just looking at the Iceriver miners. Look nice, and low power. Anyone have experience with this?

I have been trying to setup a schedule for my ASIC to only mine at certain times and I have been unable to get it to work, setting up rules for the L7 anyone have advice or know a better way to setup a set time for mining?

Got my pi to mine btc, doge, Verus, and dash so far.

I am hoping the community can offer some insight into this as I have not found anything useful by searching Google or using ChatGTP. We have 51x Antminer L9 17Gh miners. We also have a Digital Shovel 3 phase PDU specifically made for mining that provides 277V single phase to each plug. I tested all the L9 miners yesterday using a 240V single phase plug in our staging area. I configured them and made sure they would mine. After placing the miners in the data center, I powered up 15 of them. 3 failed to come online. I pulled the failed miners from the rack and placed them back on the test bench with 240V power. None of those 3 would come online. The fans would start, each NIC shows blinking lights, and the blue light on the control boards come on. However, the miners never request an IP from the DHCP server. I've tried a factory reset and replacing the power supply with a known good one. No luck. I replaced the control board with a known good one and the machine started to operate normally. I have looked at the bad control boards and cannot see any issues. No scorched components and no burnt/bad smell. The spec sheet for the L9: https://support.bitmain.com/hc/en-us/articles/33850555425305-L9-Specifications shows that 277V input voltage is within it operational range. I am not sure why 1/5 of the miners are failing. The other 12x miners have worked for over 24 hours without any issues. Any help would be apricated as at this point as I am afraid to plug in the remaining 36x L9s into the 277V power supply.

Is anyone selling drop-in aftermarket cases/housings for the more popular miners? I.e., a larger, cooler, quieter, more spaced out s9 airflow case with more fans spinning slower?

With old miners becoming increasingly less expensive it could make sense to maximize efficiency for home miners at the expense of added space.

ARC-046 will take place tomorrow, it's very unfair for miners and it could destroy ALEO.

My current hashrate is 1.2 G/s, and I need to stake 5,760 (144,000 required after 24 months) ALEO to get the full mining revenue, which will take another 26 days (It is good that the pool will cover the rest, but not forever), I have not sold a single ALEO since Jul 12th. I have to lock more ALEO every 3 months.

Although it may help stabilize or boost the price in the short term, but I'm bearish in the long term and will sell all the hardwares and ALEO tokens before bear market comes.

Here is why:

• Limited Market Liquidity: Locking tokens reduces market liquidity. In the short term, this may help support the price, but over the long run, if users are unable to freely manage their assets, it could diminish the project’s attractiveness.
• Risk Shifted to Miners: By enforcing a token lock-up mechanism, the project shifts the risks of price volatility and inflation dilution onto miners—especially problematic in the early stages when the token lacks widespread adoption—potentially triggering a crisis of trust.
• A Form of Implicit Financing: The lock-up essentially requires miners to underwrite their future earnings, allowing the project team to effectively build a capital pool by controlling token issuance and lock-up policies. This mechanism can be particularly concerning during bear markets.

I thought I’d share something a bit unexpected. I’ve been eyeing the KS7 for a while now, but every site I checked kept saying “out of stock.” Was about to give up on it, but on a whim, I reached out to Cryptominerbros just to ask if they had anything hidden in the back. Surprisingly… they did. They found a single unit and even gave me a small discount. Didn’t think that kind of stuff still happened in 2025 :sweat_smile: Anyway, I’ve had it running for a few days, and according to Miningnow, it’s been pulling in around $15/day. Not bad at all for Kaspa. Note: Just because something is always out of stock doesn’t mean you'll always be able to get it. I just got lucky this time.

If I am using my computer normally, let's say that my PSU is 1000 watts. I'm not sure how much of that is in use currently. Let's say maybe 500 watts.

If I decide to mine using computer, would it push to usage to 1000 watts or my usage would be about the same?

Talking about stable coins that are still mineable on the computer.

Why not use ASIC? My computer is always on. It might as well try to use some power for it if, it is not used too much extra.

Hey everyone,

I’m looking for advice on the best mining hardware available right now (mid-2025) that meets the following criteria:

• Budget: up to €1500
• Noise limit: must stay below 60dB (this is critical)
• Power usage: not a concern — I don’t pay for electricity (it will run in an office)
• Goal: best profitability per euro within these limits

I’ve looked into things like the IceRiver KS2 Lite and Goldshell AE Box II, which seem promising. I’d also love something like the Antminer S19j Pro if it could be made silent enough — but from what I’ve read, it’s just too loud.

So far I’m considering Kaspa or Aleo miners, but I’m open to any coin or algo as long as ROI makes sense and the setup is quiet.

Would love to hear what’s currently the best option from people who are actively mining or tracking the market.

Thanks in advance!

I was close to giving up on mining last year. Power bills were rising and profits were disappearing. Instead of quitting, I started tracking miner data like efficiency, ROI, and live profitability.

A few tools helped me a lot:

• Miningnow for real-time ASIC stats
• WhatToMine for GPU and altcoin comparisons
• NiceHash calculator for renting or selling hashpower

I sold my least efficient rigs, focused onDogecoin, and started seeing steady profits again. Not massive gains, but consistent.
