I'm thinking about buying an old rig just as a counter to a mining ban.
S9 at half speed is 550watts so $1.50 per day if you have .1 elect price
Installing custom firmware for s9 lets you control fans-
BTCsessions video used BraiinsOS+ the (+) version is their new closed source software that looks nicer but it also takes 2% of your hashrate and directs it to their own pool….
So I went with the old open source braiinsOS, finally found it here:
http://feeds.braiins-os.org/
Its more for the counter to a mining ban. Would probably not use it, or if we had solar, use it during the day with the excess power.
Thanks for that info though
Interesting about the old open source.
nice little project
I get free electricity
I'm writing off the miner purchase on my taxes
I reduced the wattage with brains os to reduce the noise
Its heating my condo and giving me Non Kyc corn in the process
Based
I wonder how many you could plug in until your landlords talk to you about the electricity bill lol
I feel like if someone had a novel way to invert the heat to use for air conditioning, they’d make an absolute killing. Everyone would be using their services and mining
I was toying with the idea a while ago and it is theoretically possible, as shown here using a old gas powered ammonium cooled fridge the heat still needs to be vented off seperately from the room one is cooling using a ventilation system. Just an idea i had, never ran the numbers on it…

Feels like now is the time to run the numbers 😀 thanks for sharing.
I got too much on my plate atm😔 and even if by some miracle it works and it was viable to do commercially the amount of EU regulation, compliance and fuck you insurance up my ass would be too much for my sanity to handle without a guillotine.
My machines are hosted. I'm larping, but they're still pristine sats gotten KYC free.
no one cares 😂
stack sats >
What do you think about BitAxe?
Only a nerdminer but surely one day my 60 KH/s will pay off 😎 one block is all it takes
Have S9 at home, but it's not turned on 24x7. Mainly when I want extra heat.
I mean I’d like to be profitable. It’s also good to contribute to distribution of the network, and it’s fun to learn hands-on!
Electric prices are terrible. Would mine if I had one or both of: local power generation (e.g. solar) and efficient hash device (e.g. s19 or more).
If I had cheap/local power gen would probably run an s9 I suppose.
Would happily lottery mine, wish Core would bring back mining with option to severely throttle. Just for the principle even if realistically finding a block was unlikely.

btw
Yes, one S9 with noctua silent fans replaces a 750W resistive heater in basement office. It's a loss investment as a 30€ resistive heater from the hardware store would have better upfront cost. So, it's a hobby to go down the mining rabbit hole and support decentralized mining. Daily reward currently is ~2000sats with a 35 ct (Euro) / kw. Braiins pool but thinking to switch to ocean.xyz or split hashrate.
Yep I mine!!! I do it all!
Not yet.I'm seriously looking into a home miner space heater.

I have 2 s9 but I have them turned off for the moment
Shouldn't be an option related to mining pools?

also for me
Yes, that's important factor. I turn it on mostly only when I need extra heat. That is benefit for small miners living in the North, even being in loss if looking at electricity cost vs mined bitcoins, you still can be kinda profitable, because you don't turn on ordinary electric heater which consumes electricity too but produces zero sats.
Ok so I have to say our hashrate auctions at rigly.io solve all of these problems
You get hashrate sent to your mining pool account - with the potential of mining at a profit - and your payment is held in on-chain escrow.
rigly is legit af way for plebs to participate in mining. its fun too!
Do i get to choose the pool?
Yep - you enter your pool details at sign-up, or enter them later on
Does it have any KYC required?
no kyc
that's right sir.
