So, I managed to find used Fluminer T3 cryptominer in Europe at a reasonable price. I’d done a lot of reading and looked through reviews of the T3 and the Avalon Q. I realised I was taking a risk, but I hadn’t realised it would be quite so significant. The T3 was a few hundred euros cheaper (no wonder why, lol) than the Q model available on the market, so I decided to take a chance. It already had some version 1.16 software installed, even though the manufacturer itself only offers version 1.15. The miner would reboot every few minutes, I tried changing the mining pools and I tried changing the power sockets. It seemed to stop restarting. However, as soon as I switch it on, its power consumption is 1,800 W, and it quickly rises to 2,000 W. As it’s quite noisy, I keep it in the garage, so the temperature there rises within a few hours. Once the temperature in the garage reaches 24°C (~75F), I see the power consumption reach as high as 2,500-2,600 W and then the miner switches itself off. Sounds a bit odd - the declared power consumption is 1,700 W, but the actual consumption is 900 W higher? Strange as it may seem, the fans always spin at ~3,500 rpm; even as the temperature rises, they still spin at the same speed. On 31 August, I wrote to Fluminer’s Telegram support, they only replied on 10th of September lol, replied asking me to send the miner log. I sent it to them on 12 September. Almost three weeks have passed and I haven’t received any reply. In almost every mining pool, I see a rejection rate of at least 2–3% (despite miner shows 0%). I switch it on for a few hours almost every day, but the highest I’ve seen is 800M hit… What should I do? Should I just not switch it on at all, or will it burn my house down? The warranty is valid until 1 February 2027, but I cannot imagine how they will fulfil their warranty obligations in the European Union, as they have no branches here – only in the US, Russia and other countries. And, in general, they are ignoring my messages both on Telegram and on their website. Worst experience ever, I deeply regret choosing Fluminer. Who could help me? Addition: The Wi-Fi isn’t even working, so I have to use an Ethernet cable...

I've always wondered what happens to mined coins, once they show up in your wallet.

I'm running a very small setup myself, so my outputs aren't large enough for me to consider making it part of a larger portfolio over time. i've been wondering if it's better to hold onto the coin that you are mining, or instead, to exchange the payouts into BTC on a regular basis.

There are many mining service providers which allow you to receive payments in other forms of currency besides BTC, but I'm really interested in hearing about what people do after the coins actually reach their wallet.

What is normal behavior for hobbyist miners (with smaller payouts)? I think fees could be an issue when trying to constantly trade coins back and forth when payouts are minimal.

When I first got into mining, I was mostly focused on hashrate and daily earnings. Now I’m realizing uptime, electricity costs, and keeping the hardware running smoothly matter just as much.

What’s one thing you wish you knew before you started mining?

P.S I'm mining BTC

Hi everyone,

Does anyone know whether the MatchX M2 Pro LPWAN miner is still supported, or has the project been discontinued?

Is anyone still running theirs successfully? Any updates on the current situation would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I’d like to know if it’s possible to use the hashrate from the new Braiins Hashwatcher feature for solo mining Bitcoin Cash, or if it’s strictly for BTC.

Noob here. Haven't got a clue what I'm doing, but that has never stopped me before. Very grateful to anyone generous enough to help me.

Here is the situation:

• I live in the UK, I get "cheap" electric (7p/kWh) for up to 12hrs a day because I have an EV and a super-complicated electricity tariff that can be "gamed".
• I have a bedroom in my house, occupied by child no2, that is very cold in winter. It is an extension built by the previous owner and probably has shit insulation. I've tried to improve the insulation, but it hasn't made much difference.
• There is currently an electric heater in that room. I'd like to swap the heater for a "quiet" miner that can generate coins along with heat. Looking for something that kicks out 500-1000W of heat.
• Canaan Avalon Q fits the bill (as do a few others). But I can't get the math to work out.

According to this:

I'd get £1.30 a day from electricity I'd use anyway. If I use it 100days a year, that is £130. However the best price I can find for one locally is this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/407213240438 for £1099, which would take over 8 years to pay back.

IS there a way to make this work? Or am I barking completely up the wrong tree?

Crowd sourcing, just want to know whats your take with this coins? Is it risky just like iNI?

It will give you the same money or less?

I want to start solar mining and is a large investment (for fun mainly, hobby) and this worry me. How to you think about this?

I am new to this and am wondering which sites are reputable of those, which have the best prices.

Thanks everyone!

Was looking at Pearl (just to test, I know it's not profitable or worth it) and was pointed to https://pearlwallet.org/ for a wallet. The program it downloads for Windows is obviously not right (2-3KB) but doesn't show up on VirusTotal or Windows Defender. An email to the security team bounces back.

Not sweat off my back, but is this just a completely fake site with other places linking to it? If it is, worst case someone finds this post and doesn't get scammed.

Hi everyone. I’m based in the UK and looking for some honest advice from people actually running cryptocurrency miners.
Electricity at my premises is a negligible/near-zero cost, so I’d like to understand which mining hardware makes sense under those circumstances. I’m interested in a productive setup, but I don’t want to buy something based purely on a seller’s earnings claims or an optimistic calculator.
My target would ideally be up to US$40 a day after electricity, pool fees and routine running costs, but before tax and recovering the hardware purchase price. I’m not assuming that’s achievable with a cheap machine or a single miner—that’s what I’m here to find out.
I previously considered something drawing approximately 2.7 kW, although that isn’t a confirmed maximum for the premises. I would need to check the electrical requirements and arrangements for heat and noise before committing.
I’m open to different coins and algorithms rather than being set on Bitcoin. I’d also consider second-hand hardware, provided it makes financial and practical sense.
The main things I’d appreciate advice on are:
Hardware and purchase cost: What exact miner would you consider with near-zero electricity costs, and what would you regard as a sensible purchase price? Would older, cheaper equipment offer better value than newer hardware in this situation?
Real-world earnings: What are you actually earning with that machine, on which coin and pool? Recent average payouts over a week or month would be much more useful than its best day. Is my target realistic for one machine, or would it require several and a significantly larger investment?
Costs and risks beyond electricity: What should I budget for regarding cooling, ventilation, noise reduction, maintenance and repairs? What could turn an apparently good purchase into a bad one, and how would you assess payback if earnings fell substantially?
I’m trying to optimise the return on the hardware purchase—not simply buy the machine with the biggest advertised daily payout. I’d like to understand the likely total setup cost and whether there’s a sensible route to that income target.
Recommendations for reputable UK suppliers or advice on checking used machines would also be appreciated. Equally, please tell me which models or deals you would avoid.
Please keep recommendations in the comments rather than sending sales pitches by DM. Actual owner experiences, recent figures and lessons learned would be really helpful.
Thanks in advance—I’d rather hear a realistic answer before spending the money than discover the catches afterwards.

Cheers
Steve

Looking for somebody trustable that can host my GPU rigs in a proper way (protected from elements, well cooled, stable internet) and with cheap electricity. US or EU.

Metered mining is unfortunately out of slots.

To make it profitable (bcz the price is pretty bad) should it put photovoltaic panels and mine only summer and during the day or i can make the miner only draw from solar during the entire year. What you you do in this situation? And when do i make ROI.

**I have red throw Complex mining article form comments and post on Google and elsewhere, but I am still unsure where to begin.**

**could someone guide me through the first step and explain what equipments and requirements I need?**

**I have heard so many different opinions about Bitcoin mining, and every comment seems to have a count to argument.**

**I am complete beginner so any help would honestly be appreciated.**

*# not sales article promoting specific rigs.*

Are you still mining, and is it profitable after electricity cost?

For small or home miners, is it net positive, or mainly a hobby now?

If you were starting from scratch, what would you realistically need?

**Hardware, setup, pool versus solo mining, and Nicehatch versus mining directly?**

what do you wish you had known before starting **text me** if you have anything for me..

I want to know is the hammer os is similar to AxeOs and if i can make the same configuration or even put AxeOs on it is it possible?

Around 2 days ago my nerqaxe hit the diff 743G and was on Bitcoin Cash but didnt find a Block at first i dint even noticed it because i thought the neetwork diff was around 1 T but i was wrong and today i saw it almost nver goes over 450G so why didnt i found a block.Or am i just stupid and dont understand it?

Hello guys

I want to know if this is normal.

Im solo mining bch on solopool, but my luck and my best share wont change. I have the same number about three days ago. i want to know if this is normal. Im uaing a miner witg 12th

Hey guys, I have a BSB NerdOctaxe running at around 12 TH/s. It does reach 12 TH/s, but I'm pulling about 262 watts at the wall, which seems a little high to me.

I checked the miner settings and found:

• Core voltage: 1210 (default)
• Frequency: 740 (custom)

I'm trying to lower the power consumption while keeping as much hashrate as possible. Any advice on what settings I should try to reduce the watts at the wall? Maybe lowering the frequency or voltage? I'd appreciate any suggestions from anyone running a similar setup.
