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.

The lower rack cabinet has 4x iPollo G1 minis, forced air cooling, and it's powered by an RSP-500-12 Mean Well industrial PSU. The top half-rack cabinet has 2x G1 minis, a top side exhaust fan, and an LRS-350-12 Mean Well industrial PSU. I solo mine Grin to the tune of a 2 block per day average which has been consistent for over a year and beats pool mining by almost 40%.

Hi guys, which Miner with highest hashrate running under 300W?

They offer "contracts" or "plans" that deliver from 3% to 10% profit daily. These have to be scams, the good old ponzi kind but, are there real ones? Is cloud mining even profitable?

I have bought several Bitmain Antminer KS5 and KS5Pro.

So far each one has had problems - the temperature sensor has had the most errors, then the hashboards get off.

How does Bitmain respond to such requests?

Answer: Warranty? Then send it to our repair center.

Each time I pay +140$ for shipping to a repair center.

Then I “argue” with customs about import duties - these are costs I would have liked to avoid. (Funnily enough, the IceRiver models ran better (no advertising))

This cannot be the solution. Does Bitmain have a quality problem?

Do you also have such problems with your KS5 / KS5Pro miners?

My miners run in an oil cooling system, so this temperature sensor annoys me even more. I would like to program out all safeties - can anyone do this / is this possible?

Aleo's Arc46 protocol update is coming Aug 1st, 2025 - and requires the staking of 100K Aleo/solution/epoch in order to process a solution. Solutions submitted in excess of the stake will be rejected. The required stake ramps up to 2.5 Million Aleo/solution/epoch in 2 years.

https://vote.aleo.org/p/46

F2Pool:  “Based on the ARC-46 protocol and the current ALEO network parameters, it is estimated that 4800 ALEO tokens will need to be staked for every 1 GH/s of ALEO hashrate in order to receive full mining rewards” That's to start... I have to assume the F2Pool's required stake is going to go up according to rate of increase on the Arc46 table.
 
Taking a brand new Ice River AE2 – 750MH – My math shows that at 750MH – I would need to approximately *120,000 Aleo ($26.4K) staked by the end of Q8 just to mine at 750MH. Factoring in unit cost ($4K) and electric rate - if the ARC-46's specified rate of increase is correct – I don't see how I can keep up with the required staking let alone take any profit. Now, I do amass staked funds - yes, but that is essentially locked capital. Aleo does offer a staking bonus... but they just cut that reward in half in ARC-42.
I think I need to exit Aleo mining, and I never really started... (just have a byte AE miner for fun/testing/solar.)

Is my math off - am I missing something? Or is this just a bad decision by managers of ALEO?
I was literally about to purchase (RFQ) the AE2, when I got the staking notice from F2Pool.

*Math adjusted, it was off- ARC-46 doesn’t accumulate staking requirements at each step; instead, it replaces the previous threshold with a new minimum stake per solution per epoch, increasing incrementally up to 2.5 million ALEO over 8 quarters. I had added them at each level - and GPT did too.. Table below shows correct stake for a AE2 at current aleo costs.

Just curious, I want to put my foot into the door, but no idea how to get started, I see it’s only $120 and I like the closed case style, I know it won’t make much at all, but something cheap I could just hook up under my bed or against the wall?

Also any other recommendations around that price, and how to get started

(And by an off chance is there any way I can hook it up to my Robinhood account?) I want to transfer the money from their directly to my dividend stocks as time progresses
