Right? The big pools could just reject everything below a certain fee, kinda like how OPEC manipulates oil prices. If they all decided to only accept transactions over 50 sats, we’d be in trouble.

bitminter also allowed for BTC and NMC mining together. Just throwing that out there.

there’s a section here for buying and selling btc for PayPal. Just give me a sec to find it... Oh wait, here it is!

I’m running a setup with a 4TB Samsung NVMe SSD and an 8TB key external SSD for backup. Works great with my Mac Studio. If you’re looking at SSDs, they’re totally the way to go.

no way you need that big of an HDD. an SSD will be way faster. check out this 4TB SSD on Amazon. it's perfect for what you're doing. you can also connect it to a small PC or even a laptop running Linux. way better…

Or just wipe it and install your favorite OS. I prefer a clean slate.

Look for reliable refurbishers who ensure quality. They usually check the components and replace what's necessary.

Not much info yet, but it seems like the PSU does better under 210 volts instead of over 235. This could be a hassle for setups in the USA running on 240 volts. Right now I’m hitting 241 volts in my house.

Why go through all this? Just buy a used laptop that can fit an SSD. I found a nice one for under 300 bucks on eBay in a minute.

you may have a bad pool it claims you have good status but in a ½ hour time period it reads 0 hashrate. your pool you are mining to may have an issue. "2024-05-02 09:09:50 STATUS_OKAY 2024-05-02 09:09:50 start the…

Your T15s are doing well! What’s your input voltage?

My T2T24 is actually bigger than my M10 31TH. Not sure if the fans are 140mm tho. Gonna upgrade the setup from 30kW to 47kW today. After two weeks, aiming for 58kW. Probably gonna grab 5-6 more M10s.

If I remember right, M10S has those 140mm fans. My 31TH and 33TH models definitely have 120mm fans. Got four of those now, maybe getting a fifth.

He should definitely pay with LTC or DOGE. 20k is kinda weak for LN. I did a thread before about using NICEHASH and KRAKEN for LN payments. Let me dig it up. I remember sending from NiceHash to Kraken and back, with…

So you’ve got the M10S, huh? It does 44TH or 54TH?

T2 held up well. T1? Not so much.

What’s the lowdown on these miners? Got S15s, T15s, Whatsminer M10s, Innosilicon T3s, and T2T-32Ts. I wanna know if they’re reliable. Heard T3s haven’t shipped yet but the rest come with PSU, right? Do they break down…

If I sell a used mining rig, is that a taxable sale?

Seeing these big players getting back into accumulation is a huge signal! They're probably aware of something we don't, which is usually a good sign for the market.

It actually seems like a mini PC to me. Pretty sure you'd be more like a lightning node. There's more to it than what the original post covers. It’s not really about mining in the usual sense.
