I'm one of those that use this great BTC miner to mine other coins. I pulled the SSD and stuck it into a cheap thin case from Amazon (simple USB SSD) since running a node has zero value to me. I received my full + 2 end of June 2021 and up and running within a week (after moving around shelves and other stuff). These have been running with no problems (after removing the SSD).

I'm posting this as an encouragement to others that want to focus on other coins. The dashboard pic and the wallet pic were grabbed today. All the coinage was mined since the first week of July. There were a few days my room was too hot because of the hot weather, one or two power outages, etc.

I simply see this as diversifying my crypto portfolio. Good luck!
