Are those loud? I don't have a great place for a loud miner.

My s9s can be heard from from the vacuum of space, on the far side of the galaxy. If you get an s9, we will be able to hear it through your sn posts. They are even louder than I am hyperbolic.

Yes. Like a blow dryer.

I have heard they hum pretty loud. You can make them more silent by building a box around them and making the air flow a certain direction.

If you’re just getting started, check out my guide featuring the Antminer S9. I still think it’s the best bang for your buck.

The model with upgraded fans for $103 + shipping is pretty silent (less than 50dB).

Yeah, I don't want to deal with any of that (at least not for my first attempt).

I wonder about the heatbit. Which mining pool does it use?

34 sats \ 3 replies \ @Undisciplined OP 28 Oct

Good question. I didn't see that and I didn't see if it's easy to change the pool.

That is what I am thinking. If it goes into one of the major pools, what is the point? Being able to change it would be nice.

I wouldn't mind if it started that way, since I don't know what I'm doing yet. I also wouldn't mind if it started out as a solo miner. If it can't be changed from the default, though, that would be annoying.

Might be something to email them about. I like how it is set up though, it wont bother anyone in the house. Everyone will just think it is just a heater. The small bitaxe might be worth it just for stepping your toes in that water.
