Depends upon how much experimentation you want to do and also how noise tolerant the location is. Their dry coolers are NOT quiet, despite what they may lead you to believe. If you are in a noisy city and want to mount it on a rooftop of a building, perfect! In a commercial or industrial zone? Even better! But, if you are in quiet suburbia, forget it.

So, it's okay to have one ASIC's dual-corded PSU run on two separate breakers? I was wondering about this myself the other day. What happens if -- for whatever reason -- only one of the circuits trip? Does the whole ASIC shut down or could something worse happen?

There is the third option, too: Mine either and then convert to BTC either through a pool with autoexchange or on a proper exchange.

Am I totally miscalculating or will these ASICs never break even? I just used whattomine for the 30S++ at 10 cents and the breakeven is at about 21 years.

Thanks! Also, would it be worthwhile to investigate ZEC pools as well given that ZEC's algo is built on the same algo (with additions, of course). Could there be similar discrepancies between pools that pay tx fees and those that do not there or is this a problem specific to BTC pools?

I'm new to BTC mining.... is there an updated list of the full paying pools?

Many thanks for your research!

Could you explain how the Paypal warranty works? It's been a while since I've used them, but I thought that they were anti-crypto.

So, how did you arrive at using Braiins firmware? Did you compare it against competitors like asic.to, chipless, etc. and it came out on top?

Thank you!

With all of the "evil" firmware out there... is there a wiki/sticky here somewhere that has a list of all firmware known to be good?
Perhaps even with stable OCs and/or undervolts along with the dev fees that each charges?

If it doesn't exist I think I'm probably not alone in thinking that it would be an amazing resource to have.

Many thanks

So sorry, man... not really fair. I hope she gets well soon.

Parents do it all the time... "I'll 'lend' my son Jimmy the money to help him out." Of course many times, that is a 100% negative interest rate ;-)

Oh man.. that's such a shame considering such important work. Thanks for looking!

It's been ages since this has been posted.... what have you been up to? (Tried DMing you, but BCT still thinks I'm a noob and blocks me from such things.. I've been on for a while but mostly lurk.)

This was so amazing that you started this before anyone else... just curious what's been going on over the past 5 years. :-)

Thank you so much for this tool! So easy to pick at someone else's work, but if it was easy to make something "perfect," well.. then it wouldn't be called "perfect." It would just be "normal" 

Is there a particular length recommended for the ducting? Are supplemental fans required to help make up for the resistance (think breathing through a straw vs freely)? Also, how much space around the ASIC should I leave inside the box?

Many thanks

So, how was that order from cryptominerbros? I'm thinking of buying from them too, but would love to hear how it went for you.

Thanks on Hyperbit.

Weird about the Fusion Silicon site... is it possible that they are being blocked by north america? I still cannot get to it.

fusionsilicon.com seems to be down for me at the moment.

So, hyperbitshop.io is legit?

Thanks

... and ripped many people off. I'm owed coins, they promised to make a final payout to everyone who had a balance over a certain amount... they did not.

So.... what is the most profitable way to mine?
