You can DIY a home setup pretty easily. Beeminer is just a metal box with a pump and heat exchanger. No immersion fluid included, so budget for that. The dielectric fluid isn’t cheap at about $180 for 20L. But those…

This convo is drifting off topic... maybe we should take it to my other thread?

The link you shared doesn’t work for me. But this one says TSMC raised prices by 20%. No mention of them canceling orders, but Bitmain might reduce orders since they still have stock.

TSMC only canceled orders for Huawei because it's a state-run company. They’ve been blocked from using advanced tech for chips. And the article says Apple and MediaTek are the ones scaling back, not TSMC.

Haha, my bad for the earlier confusion. Posting while tipsy isn't ideal.

El Salvador isn't breaking new ground with its mining. They already get a good chunk of their energy from geothermal, so using volcano power isn't really a big deal.

Competition is fierce, but that’s what drives innovation. We need to see who can really deliver on their promises.

I’m curious how these projects will compete with established coins though. It’s a packed market.

Avalanche is hyped for sure. Their multichain model looks like it’s got a lot of potential for customization.

Saw some buzz around Avalanche too. Supposedly launching its main net soon. Could be a big player.

For sure, still relevant! They’re working with ISDA to tokenize assets, so they’re definitely in the game.

Haven’t heard much about Algorand lately. Is it still relevant? I mean, with all the new projects popping up.

Algorand’s tech looks promising. They’ve got that pure proof-of-stake model, which has its perks.

Any thoughts on Algorand? They seem to be making some solid moves in the finance space.

Definitely check it out. I was able to spin up a node in minutes. It’s super user-friendly.

So, is everyone saying ANKR is a solid choice for node deployment? I’m considering it for my next project.

I still think we need to be cautious. Just because it’s fast doesn’t mean it’s secure. Centralization risks are still there.

That’s true! Plus, the speed at which they set up nodes is impressive. Like Zilliqa said, they managed thousands in no time.

Yeah, I get that. But think about it. A lot of new high-throughput blockchains are implementing sharding thanks to ANKR.

ANKR is interesting, but not convinced it’s a full 3.0 coin. It has some traits, but it’s still kind of a service platform.
