I run a few small farms. My smallest has 22 miners and the biggest has 37. The priciest setup was around £10,000, cheapest around £7,000, not counting the miners.

I really see Bitcoin as more than just money. It's a digital asset that can help us achieve financial freedom. We should all keep that in mind when investing. It’s about the long game for me, and I think Bitcoin’s a…

I don't really know the details, but I used Poolin for my farms for years. Then, out of nowhere, payouts stopped. Everything looked fine on my end. Switched to F2Pool and forgot all about it. Lost like $3000 in BTC,…

When you mention 0.16 EUR/kWh, just remember you’re competing globally. I started mining recently too, and even a small price drop gives me anxiety.

0.16 EUR per kWh is way too high man. This project might not work out at all.

Avoid hosting companies if you can. They tend to be shady. Had a bad experience where I bought over $100k in miners. At the end of the term, they refused to send them back, saying they had to sell them for me. What a…

Current electricity rates for new businesses are crazy, like £0.85 £0.90 per kWh. An S19 Pro 100T might generate £5.86 in Bitcoin but costs over £60.00 to mine it. That’s a big loss unless you’re getting free power or…

I get what you mean, but still, hitting blocks with different fees plays a role. If one pool gets lucky and hits blocks with higher fees, they’ll pay out more.

But those 5-day tests are kind of pointless, aren’t they? It’s just luck of the draw with these pools.

Right? I checked out both btc.com and coin.dance for stats. There's this new Binance pool that jumped to around 7% hashrate just in the last 24 hours. Still, the biggest players are mostly Chinese pools.

If you think Bitcoin is gonna skyrocket 16,000x, I think you’re dreaming. Doubling your investment in 4 years isn’t really success by my standards. Business growth is more impressive.

Looking at Bitcoin's price history, it's clear that holding onto it could pay off big time in the future. It’s the biggest crypto out there. Sure, it has ups and downs, but if you check the long-term trend, it’s pretty…

Awesome, thanks! Just updated my images. Quick question, why do you have mixed feelings about wooden setups?

Why are my images not showing in this post? I wanna send this to someone who bought miners from me.

You could estimate it at around 250cfm based on the 17/19 series, but that’s just a guess.

I’d guess I spent about £6000 to set everything up, not counting miners. That’s like $8000.

For me, it's easy since my farm is in a cooler place. Just made sure my fans could handle more air than the miners blow out. For those 17/19 series, expect around 500cfm per miner.

Really hope your extension cables hold up. I’ve used them on four setups with zero issues. These ones have been running since April 2020, rated for good loads. My Whatsminers were pulling a lot initially, switched to…

Thanks! Just a heads up, I actually rent some old bunkers for this, not at home. I’ve got a good deal on power here, but it’s limited. On super hot days, the miners did throw up a PSU error once.

Haha, yeah I learned a lot from your posts, but honestly didn’t wanna deal with MDF. That stuff is a pain to work with! I found insulation boards that are way easier. A YouTube channel I watch also uses them in big…
