I think BTC is about done with it's downward trend. It hasn't touched it's low in over a week if I'm reading it right. A 1/3 value adjustment after that landmark runup is healthy for the overall market.

Let's get some discussion started about immersion cooling. I think that it may be a way to bring old equipment back into the fold, as well as bring operating costs down. I picked up a cheep S4 as my entry into mining and realize, that once heating season is over, I'll likely need to turn it off unless I can cut some corners on power consumption. I can run it half the year here, just as supplemental heat no matter how sad it's coin finding becomes. I think nearly 225w of my unit's overall 1300 is fans. With half a dozen empty aquariums in my basement, and a Sam's card where 20gal of vegetable oil will cheep... I can't help but wonder if oil cooling isn't the answer.

I plan on trying it out on some old equipment next month. Just an old mobo and old NVidia card that can just barely mine ZEC with it's memory/cuda count.... a 550ti I think. I will share my results.

Good luck, keep us in the loop at your cooling attempt. $BTC will move back up here as the last futures contract expired on Friday I do believe. We can see some upward momentum here.

Working on a small submersion system with some S7s, Mineral oil and an old Freezer... I'll let you know how it goes. When I'm done I'll post a complete How to....

Keep Calm and Mine On with Kano San!!!
