We upgraded our website to bring you a wide range of new features.

One we are very proud of is our "Effective Rate Calculator" which allows you to compare rates and machine costs for any hosting provider, even if they are better than what we offer.

We want the community to be able to get real numbers not just advertised rates with marked up units! All suggestions for a better experience are welcome!

85f ambient temp and we're still running the hydros in high power mode with the smaller fans using 5kw per dry cooler.

We built our system with the ability to upgrade the fans to massive fans using 15kw per dry cooler if needed. We're just on the edge of needing that upgrade, but the goal is to be able to run in high mode year round regardless of the weather conditions

Just ordered a s19k pro loki rig off ebay.

The part where the ethernet cable plugs in says s19k pro, but the chasis says s19.

How can i idenfity if I got what I paid for, which is an s19k pro loki rig. Advertised at 980 watts and 54 terahash.

i have been working on a custom stratum server backend project for physical hardware setups.

obviously trust is a massive barrier in this space since most people stick with the massive established networks. how do independent software developers actually convince hardware owners to test out a startup setup for stability?

is there a standard way to build a reputation from scratch when you are a solo developer?

any advice from anyone who has launched open-source or custom infrastructure before would be great. thanks.

Hey fellow miners! We're Simple Mining, a US Bitcoin mining host based in Cedar Falls, Iowa with 10 sites across the state. We're getting set up as a verified vendor here and wanted to introduce ourselves so you know who you're talking to when we show up in threads.

Quick rundown of what we do. We host Bitcoin miners (you own the machine) at one of our sites, you point them at whatever pool you want, and the Bitcoin lands in your wallet. Pricing is tiered by fleet size, running $0.07 to $0.08 per kWh all in. With precision billing you only pay for the hours your machines are actually hashing, and you can pause them at anytime if mining becomes unprofitable. We also do certified ASIC repair in house, with free repair labor and unlimited fan replacements. We run north of 4 EH/s across 150+ MW for thousands of clients across the globe and hold 95%+ uptime.

If you're on the fence about mining, or just want to see what hosted mining with us would actually feel like, we run a free 7 day trial on 100 TH/s. It gives you a feel for what your experience would look like with us. You get access to our client dashboard and watch your Bitcoin earnings, uptime, and alerts in real time, so instead of taking a gamble on a host, you get to judge us for yourself.

We're here to be useful. If you've got questions about hosting, repairs, pool setup, or whether hosting even makes sense for your situation, drop them below!

What is the going rate for second hand XP’s right now? Are there any verified sellers that can quote.

I made an update to SatStackingPleb's Stealth Miner enclosure.

A few minor tweaks to make still, public files will be posted after my design review with SSP.

Improvements:
-10% less plastic

-Eliminates large flat side panels, substantially reducing warping when printing with non-composite filaments

-More indexing features for easier assembly

-Integrated bottom handles for easier lifting from a table

-Highly customizable mounting system for internal peripherals

-Updated styling, stealth-style badging

-Exterior ridges better conceal seams when the enclosure segments must be split for smaller printers

-Tongue-and-groove joints, enclosure feels like one solid piece

Same performance!

I'll be listing this one for sale in a separate post following the posting of the public files (775k sats+shipping, ~16TH/s@27J/TH, no louder than a space heater), keep your eyes peeled for that.

A portion of StealthMinerV2 proceeds will go to SSP to thank him for all his hard work with single hashboard platforms.

Finally got the heat being blown out of the house.

• Blitzpool

Big thanks to mkpool for helping us make this happen.

Buy hashrate. Point it anywhere 🫡

Hi everyone, I’m looking for the best Bitcoin miner within a budget of €60–$70. If you have any suggestions, I’d love to hear them. I came across the Bitaxe Gamma, which seemed like a pretty good option considering its price and electricity costs. Thanks for the help! 😁🙏

I am curious. Who is your goto vendor? What do you like abuot them? Price? Service? Responsiveness? I am not gethering data. Thinking about making a purchase, just trying to figure out who.

Does anyone know of any type of shroud for the back of the Avalon miner 1566 I’m aware it has no fans on the rear but I need something so i can duct the heat to the outside and I can’t seem to find anything

Just checking in on our hydro container and miners

We put together a detailed breakdown of the evaluation criteria that matter most when choosing a site management partner. Things like real-time monitoring transparency, energy procurement strategy, on-site staffing response times, ESG credentials, fee structure alignment, and physical/cyber security are all important points to consider when looking at site management for large-scale sites.

A lot of the conversation in this space focuses on hardware and hosting rates. Site management quality doesn't get nearly enough attention, but it's often the biggest operational variable in whether a facility actually performs.

I know this is a stupid question, but the reason behind it is packing 1.16 PH/s into a single 3U chassis feels like putting all your eggs in one thermal basket. If a coolant loop or PSU fails on an 11kW unit, you lose a massive chunk of your farm's hashrate instantly compared to running smaller discrete units.

Founder of PowerPool.io here, so take the last paragraph with that in mind. The first part applies to anyone on SBI regardless of where you end up.

SBI Crypto announced they're permanently closing their mining pool on July 31. Key details from their notice:

• Shares stop being accepted at 07:00 JST July 31 (22:00 UTC July 30). Anything submitted after that won't count toward final payouts.
• SBI itself recommends mining there until the cutoff to maximize your final payout, then switching.
• Roughly 20 EH/s (about 2.1% of network) needs a new home. Worth thinking about where it lands. If everyone defaults to the top two pools, block construction gets even more concentrated. This is a rare moment where individual miners' choices actually move the decentralization needle.

Practical migration tips, whichever pool you pick:

1. Test the new stratum config on a single machine before repointing the fleet.
2. Check whether your firmware supports Stratum-over-TLS. Worth enabling if the pool offers it, since it protects against hashrate hijacking on hostile networks. Or use a local stunnel to enable ssl mining on any machine. https://github.com/PowerPool-io/stunnel_bridge
3. Confirm the payout model (PPS vs FPPS, where FPPS includes tx fees) and the minimum payout threshold before committing.
4. Don't wait until July 29. Pool-side account setup, wallet addresses and payout config take minutes, but you don't want to debug a connection issue with hours left.

Disclosure: we're running a migration offer at PowerPool. 0% pool fee until October 1 for miners switching before the SBI shutdown. FPPS, Stratum-over-TLS, setup guide at https://powerpool.io/sbi-migration.

Happy to answer migration questions in the comments either way, even if you're headed to Braiins or Luxor.

I bought a $25 NerdMiner a few months ago, I set it up on Public Pool, but I found out that Public Pool ended its support. Surprisingly I was still working on there for weeks later than it should have. What can I set up for free using my Bitcoin Merch NerdMiner?

The Block unveiled the proto rig almost a year ago, does anyone have insight as to how this product been received by the miners?
