The M10S is bigger than the M10, right? Four boards instead of three and 140mm fans?

I could use up to four boards in my two S9 cases. Planning to donate the old ones to a buddy of mine.

Volume buying doesn’t always add up nowadays. Even with low power costs, ROI just isn’t there for many miners. Might be better to just buy Bitcoin.

Mining isn't really for novices anymore. Prices for gear and electricity are high, and you gotta know your stuff to make it work. Big players keep upping their hash rates.

Yeah, if they get dusty, they’ll definitely run hotter. Immersion cooling helps keep things clean and cool. Plus, using external air cooling can provide better airflow with less noise, especially if you control it right.

Consider snagging a used S19 with some damaged hashboards. Each board uses around 1000W. You can get about 33 TH/s per board at normal power. My S19j Pro 104 does 64TH/s at 1343W, and that's with all three hashboards…

You gotta pay some tax if you bring money into the country, but only if using state-approved exchanges. Most people avoid those. I can’t see myself using an ATM.

You think they put that 50W/T thing in the ads for fun? Sounds like they can’t do better than that.

I even saw some using fabrics, what they do is have a screen fabric in place a few days then switch with a second clean one they have ready while they clean the first. Its done weekly or something like that. There are…

Here are some shots of the current ASIC room behind the cutout. Water curtain on the right, power cabinet next to it.

Just to add, your power consumption will depend on the model you have. Typically, each hashboard pulls about a third of the total power. So if your miner's target is set at, say, 1677W, cutting off two hashboards would…

That’s true, but with 3 units running, it gets pricey after a few months. Not really a ‘free’ solution.

But what if they promote it at lower prices first, then hike them up after? Classic marketing move.

Funny to think miners might become assets. In a bull run, miner prices could skyrocket. Some folks buy miners and flip them for BTC or upgrade to better models.

For sure, that's the spec for the older S9s. The newer S19s have a max ambient temp of 35°C. In the summer, you need to move air effectively. Aim for 200-250 CFM for S9s and 400-500 CFM for newer models. You need fresh…

The smaller node is present in the latest models. And they are all targeted at industrial miners. There would be no point in releasing an S9 with S19 chips, you would end with an S19 again. After the R4 Bitmain has not…

We discussed this before. Bitcoin might not work for interplanetary use due to lag. Unless we discover something like quantum entanglement, mining on Mars is a stretch. The moon might work, but why bother? The dark side…

Definitely look for older models instead of the latest. Like, maybe skip the XP and go for the Pro. They’re less efficient, but waaaay cheaper. You could snag around 10 and hit about 1PH/s. I know people in Africa…

Electricity is cheap in some parts of Russia though, around 0.06 per kWh. They got that going for them.

I know someone who upgraded fans and used a duct fan instead. They controlled it with njord and a modded S9 PSU.
