I will buy the 2 nest with 2 acorn 215+  if you don't want it.  Assuming it works and runs okay.

if i decide to sell youll get 1st dibs. but honestly im into the fpga thing more for education than expected profit. although that sure would be nice.

Yeah I cut all my Mining down a lot.

12 x 1080tis vs 40
And 4 Vegas 56s

1 m10
3 s9is
1 l3+

That is a total of well under 10kwatts.

I spend 1/3 the kwatts I did last fall.

wow thats a big drop from what i remember you running.

ive been coasting along with the same gear for around a year now. with the bear market asics and gpu seem to be a dead end at the moment as far as buying new gear with an expectation of any decent roi timeframe. guess we got spoiled in the past bull runs with 3 month rois.

fpga accelerated gpu mining seems like it may be a way out for those of us running gpus, especially older paid off gear that barely breaks even after power at the moment. only time (and shipping gear in the hands of regular miners) will tell of course. i figure its a decent bet. 50/50 maybe. well, in crypto 50/50 is pretty good odds anyway.

Yeah my cheap power did not grow a lot.

I was able to get 4kwatts for 130 a month. That is about 4.2 cents a kwatt.

I have six 1080tis at 50-50 coin split.  Which is 3 free 1080tis.

I have a m10 at a 50-50 spilt which is 17th free.

I have 2 l3+ at a 50-50 split which is 1 free. L3+.

That is my cheap power.

All other power is 13 cents before heat which comes to 10 cents.  But 10 cents is not a lot of margin.

I could burn a lot more power if profit was there.  But profit at 10-13 cents is next to nothing.
