I am still recovering from my surgery and have not tried building it.

if all works out I will sell them.

Good recovery, and then let us know here when you have this type of equipment built, so we can appreciate it.  Wink

thanks bro.


well current numbers for earning are brutal


0.0476 usd a th

or

$4.76 for 100 th

$9.52 for 200 th

so the s21 earns $9.52  since it burns  92 kwatts you need 7 cent power


10 cent = $9.20
 9  cent = $8.28
 8 cent  = $7.36
 7 cent  = $6.44
 6 cent  = $5.52        so if you have all s21 and have 6 cent power you are smiling  since you clear  9.52-5.52= 4 bucks a unit

but if you have 7 cent power and all s19 units


$4.76 earned and 75kwatts burned means

 10 cent = $7.50
  9 cent =  $6.75
  8 cent =  $6.00
  7 cent =  $5.25
  6 cent =  $4.50                basically all in the red

I think I can do all this.

What will be the hash power capacity?

What chips will you use and how will you try to sell the equipment?

this would be the t21 board

it would max at around 55-63 th

it would have the epic controller

it would have the loki chip

it would have a special psu not the  bitmain apw3++

I am still recovering from my surgery and have not tried building it.

if all works out I will sell them.

I will develop good practical home miners for usa home miners.

This looks interesting. Can you share more details about this?


And never say never. Sometimes new opportunities may arise. If it weren't for the distance, maybe we could make a good team.  Cheesy

USA stock power is 120 volts

Normal outlet can do 1800 watts.

So to hook up a miner with no electrical work at all.

So a top notch miner needs to be under 1500 watts. At full speed.

I think a top notch home miner needs to run from 400-1200 watts.
It needs to have a flexible gui.

I think I can do all this.

A good site and I would go back into larger scale mining.

5-6 cent power would be good at least 2 years worth of it.

Well, finding a place with 6 cents for energy in the US must be complicated.
It has to be a huge energy contract, to get values close to that.

I am done for now shit happens and it did.

I will continue to mine a bit at a loss and sell off the gpus.

I will likely never mine at the 200-250kwatt level again.

I will develop good practical home miners for usa home miners.

I am playing with 1 board t21 using a 1500 watt 120 volt psu that can range from 12.5volt to 15.2 volt

with the Loki spoof chip. I hope to have a working model of this in under 1 -2 weeks.

As to why the mine ended I will say I failed to keep the other three guys in agreement as to the best options possible. So we broke it up instead.

Not the best way but it is the way it happened.

yeah I am done. mining a few kwatts at a loss at home.  and selling gpus on eBay.

It really is a shame to have to leave mining like this.

What do you think it would take to get back? Get cheaper energy or more efficient mining equipment?

Now, the interesting thing is that we lost 12 blocks but the fees are down to 17 sat/vb as I type this, so there is no demand for space, no jump in fees anymore, the last block has just 0.28 BTC so not even 10% of the block reward, we're looking at a 40% loss in revenue not profit!

If the price goes to 60k or below then we have another 10% before that, a huge load of fudge!

As mikey said, someone will have to blink and if they don't and they go still full throttle this is just going to be worse for them all in a few months, I wouldn't want to be a guy who has poured all his investors money in a plan of 10exahash right now, especially if those weren't money from usual ventures but the government back dor deals.

That's some serious fudge to be honest lol, I mean if you have S19 Pro and 7 cents you are basically mining at break-even, S19 pro might not be the latest gen but how old is it? and how much was it sold for? I would be very upset if I had that, then even if we were to assume that you magically had a 5 5-cent power rate which is pretty low by today's standard, that would be $2 a day, worse than S9 on its worst days a few years ago.

I still have two of them singing in the basement, the power is of no concern since till autumn I can deal with 10KW, but in August I will retire them if we're still in this price range, they did a great job at heating the floor in a stone/concrete building but I don't need that in summer and going above peak allowed consumption I will have to pay 12eurocents/kwh, no f way!

Plus, and this is the most important thing, I got bored with them!

Or a huge drop of the difficulty, or blocks with multiple BTC of fees..

But isn't that 7 days average?
The daily reward has dropped like a stone, last blocked ‎3.377 BTC, which would be 490 BTC, let's keep things simple
500 BTC x 63 000k / 600 000 000 it would be  5.25 cents.

My actual payout per PH is as follows, just to show others the affect of transaction fees.

20-11-2024   = 0.0027BTC/ph
28-11-2024   = 0.00075BTC/ph

so that's 48$ per ph which is 4.8 cents per th, so even worse than what you calculated above  Cheesy, which sucks!

Remember, here we are only talking about the electricity bill, nothing more, if the difficulty doesn't drop then the ROI for all gears bought this year and even a few months prior to the halving will be NEVER, not in a year, not in 3 years even if you had 2-3 cents power, which is why I still think that miners are now playing the chicken game, there is no way that all current hashrate can be sustained with the current price and transaction fee.


Quote
It will be for sure negative at the end of the period, it's a bit of nonsense to see it grow at the worst income per th we had in a year.

Ya, it's very unlikely to see it grow, in fact, i would say the same thing about the previous epoch (I did say) but then thanks to the transaction fees, blocks were larger than before the halving, but then again, if all large miners are playing the chicken game it means they are all pushing the pedal harder, so it won't be impossible for this epoch or even the next one to have some upside until the cars crash into one another and the weak cars leave.

Although I still think, that the chicken game is still being played even if all players are already at their last bit of it and can't push any further, the few coming epochs will be fun to watch, if the price doesn't go up or even worse/better goes down, get your self some large supply of popcorn and fudge while you watch things unfold.

Phill, hope you holding strong bro, I feel for you.

I would say that if the value of fees continues to fall, and remains at normal values - before the halving - the next update will be negative.

It dropped for a moment somewhere last night when I checked to just +2 blocks, but still positive

My large Clifton farm is gone.

Got a house full of gear

Slowing selling the gpus at the moment.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/166730324848

https://www.ebay.com/fdbk/feedback_profile/philipma1957

It will take me months to sell the gear.

Sucks but gear is all paid off

Sold off about 10,000 in last 40 days

Viabtc still shows 9 cents but that won't as long as that's the average including that 1000BTC in extra fees in a day, bitinfo is quoting 0.0549 USD/THash.
So, is anyone betting on another positive adjustment?

I would say that if the value of fees continues to fall, and remains at normal values - before the halving - the next update will be negative.

It was still positive, because it is packed with the high rates that occurred in the last week and because we are in the middle of the month - it is not worth turning off the machines in the middle of the month.

well last ten block fees are

0.37
0.41
0.35
0.66
0.57
0.52
0.33
0.26
0.22
0.37



and viabtc is paying

0.0678 a th


if we drop to 0.05 a th the diff will tank

but at 0.0678

a s19 110th pro does $7.458 a day and burn $6.60 a day at 6 cents

all big miners are at 6 six cents or better

so they are fine unit payout drops to 0.05

that would do

$5.50 a day and burn $6.60 a day. this is on s19 pro 110th

now think of the t21

190 th x 0.05 =       $9.50
 92 kwatts x 0.06 = $5.52
                              4.00 profit if we drop to  5 cents a th.

I would argue  that mining won't drop as the t21 easily makes money at 6 cent power.

Probably the last positive adjustment was not much of a surprise due to the fees, but another positive adjustment?
Or are we going to see it drop on the 1st as some will decide to cut power at the end of the month?

What protocol is this "Bitcoin Runes" and what does it do?
By the way, I had never heard of this protocol... But maybe I was the one who was distracted.  Lips sealed
It is another creation made by the same guy who created the concept of Ordinals - Casey Rodarmor. You can read about his idea of Runes in his own blog where he first posted about it[1]. While I had heard the concept, I haven't found the time to read his interpretation of why he thought that Ordinals and Rune were beneficial to the network.

[1]https://rodarmor.com/blog/runes/

Well, I only read a lot of it, but your first and last paragraphs say that "maybe it's not a good idea, as it could be misused". In short, he created something that the party, based on previous experience, would not have been very positive about.

But maybe I'm the one who understands little about the subject.  Lips sealed
