- using Antpool with Braiins on an S9jJun 9, 2026
Braiins OS works with any pool. Minimum requirement is that the pool supports rolling version, as seen in pools with asicboost. Yes, Antpool works fine, not like i would recommend it, but it does work. The error looks a…
At some point something better than the S17 will come and the cycle repeats again. S15, S11, S9, S7. Everytime a new generation comes, this story repeats. More surprising is you didn't expect this after so many years of…
This is why you simply add more units. Efficiency is more important than raw TH, its what leaves more profit in the end. From my data provided by users, lowering the chip temperature is also a key factor. There is even…
Well i have seen the jpro reach 21 j/t which is about the efficiency of the XP with factory firmware, so it may not be a bad idea to swap. But yeah, without cheap electricity i guess it makes more sense to simply buy…
- How to quiet down an S9?Jan 3, 2026
I didn't add wood, just cardboard and tape (since the exhaust fan was removed). Yes, merely blocking the extra empty space does the trick. Don't do it and it overheats. Works like magic (at least a year tested).
But the M20s has a great efficiency, that we are waiting for you to confirm with your review to us. So whats is this about an M21s? Is it the same efficiency as the M20s but smaller? The "plain" M21 is 60t/w vs 48ish…
But Americans have a problem with this, don't they? Why didn't Pangolin lower it to $799? Well i guess it costs the same as the M10 but is a little more efficient, but not as nice as the M20S. I was thinking an M20S…
- How to Use an Antminer as a Home HeaterNov 22, 2025
Yes i know (same with T9+), but even with factory fw it was a common "mod" to force the fan to 100% anyway by disconnecting the fourth wire. The PSU i have has the same dimensions as yours but is a bit longer. I have…
- How to Use an Antminer as a Home HeaterNov 22, 2025
Hmm if your fans are at 1% you could replace them with Noctua or Phantek 120mm silent fans. The only problem would be summer but i suppose you don't intend to use it for mining as much but more like space heater by the…
Pretty sure we talked about this on this forum, probably the off topic area. Bitcoin doesn't work for interplanetary purposes, the lag is too much and the blockchain would split. Unless newer communication technologies…
- Farming with Solar PowerJun 22, 2025
It is interesting but the performance of the panels is lower in those latitudes, so you probably need at least twice of them or so. Certainly near the poles you can have half a year of uninterrupted sunlight, but then…
But the ESP32-C3 is a computer... All asic miners have one to run the mining software (aka "control" board), they are ARM based, but i assume sooner or later they will switch to RISC-V like you did. China is…
I know which one it is. People still mine but at risk of being discovered/incarcerated everything confiscated and the State mining with that using the military (underpaid exploited labor). Unless its some big whale with…
- Half price on antminer s19 XP from bitmainNov 2, 2024
Well, we don't care about altcoins do we? Problem is spamming Bitcoin and devs doing nothing about it. The excuse that mining must be kept alive at "any" cost, can only come from people who don't care about Bitcoin and…
- Is it a mistake to grab S9s?Aug 13, 2024
So they run so hot that you physically disable one to keep it cool?, interesting... Doesn't that firmware provide low power modes? AFAIK the S9K is like the modern miners (S17, etc) where it won't allow you to just swap…
- Modding the APW9 Fans for Less NoiseJul 23, 2024
Leaving it open could be useful for immersion cooling, but most likely you will end having to turn the miner 90° anyway for vertical flow. 3 wire usually means it gets rpm reporting, just no speed control. Lets hope its…
- Review of the Whatsminer M20S 65 THJun 26, 2024
I also prefer the M20 and possibly the larger M20S which has the same efficiency. The S17 could be a little more efficient but its way more expensive, AND power hungrier and noisier. Don't praise Pangolin, those units…
- Review of the Whatsminer M20S 65 THJun 25, 2024
I don't think MicroBT does direct unless you speak Chinese and can do very large orders. I think people here use third parties such as Pangolin, and they do have a Telegram channel and some support people available.
- Review of the Whatsminer M20S 65 THJun 19, 2024
If this is true you could feed it with 277v... But it looks like a mistake. Or, is anyone willing to test in the name of science?
In Braiins OS the logs may have a line that says x voltage requested, y given. Also for nicehash you have to use sha256asicboost urls, not sha256. I would also try Autotuning enabled and the lowest power limit.…
