I've been less active on this forum for a while now, thats because I developed some health issues and they don't seem to go away, not knowing that what's causing the constant break down is in my home.

Since 2022 I've been mining Ethereum with some GPUs and when ETH mining stopped I switch to mineable platform and convert whatever I mine back to BTC, the whole set up is over 1GH and a S19 Asic miner that I connect to viabtc, this mining rig was installed in my room and the Asic miner down in a store, basement like room.

I can't put the two together because of higher heat detection.

I started noticing that I became so weak, to wake up in the morning becomes harder for me, I can't lift a big bucket of water like I used to normally, followed by cramps, headaches, nauseous and dizziness here and there, I went to the hospital and the doc recommended that I go through blood tests and so on.

The first question the doc asked me was if I work in a coal factory, my mind went straight to my mining rigs, I had to exposed it all to him, and he prescribed some drugs to me and warned me to stay away from my rigs, after sevarl weeks battling with fatigues and dizzy like feeling I finally start getting better, I had to build another block nearby brick by brick just to make sure I have my room to myself only.

If you are planning on sleeping in the same room as your miners make sure it is very limited, make sure the heat is very minimal, maybe I wouldn't have faced this if I stopped at my first 400MH mining rig. While BTC is your goal always look out for your well-being too.
