RULES
No "FOR SALE" posts. Feel free to hawk your wares in our sister subreddit /r/BitMarket - this means no goup buys as well. As common as it is in Bitcoin Mining, it is far to risky to be carried out over reddit.
No verbal abuse. If you don't have anything nice to say, it's best not to say anything at all. Remember, we were all newbies once. Mining isn't exactly a trivial venture.
No Referral Links. No Amazon/eBay referral links. No mining pool referral links. No mining contract referral links. No referral links, period.
No Promoting New Alt Coins. If there is a new alt coin out, this is not the place to discuss or promote it. If you have questions about mining that alt coin, feel free to ask away!
No short-URLs. Nobody should have to trust you before clicking on a link. URL-shortener services serve no use on Reddit as there is nothing restricting the size of your comment string.
No begging. Do not ask for other people to mine for your address. Do not beg for donations simply for lending a helping hand.
Anybody caught violating the rules will be banned on sight. If you notice somebody abusing the subreddit rules, please message the moderators with the permalink in question.
All members of the BitcoinMining subreddit are expected to read and follow the Official Reddit Rules as well as the informal Reddiquette guidelines. Likewise, all moderators of this subreddit do follow the Modiquette.

Hello,
short question as stated in the title.
I want to build a status overview page for my miners. So the question is:
Does Bitmain Antminer have a API to query a status like temperatures and work state?
I have S19 Hydro with stock firmware installed.
I saw someone who did this, but I can't find any documentation.
Any hints are appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Greetings friends, I have about 3 machines and I have an air conditioner, I have two machines that extract the hot air and one with the duct inside to level the humidity since my country is tropical and the humidity is relatively high and so far it is the option that I found to maintain a humidity of 40-50 and that the machines are not so hot
Hey there! You guys are a knowledgeable bunch, if anyone, this esteemed group of people would know the answer to this question.
I have a 8xGPU rig I am using for LLM inference. Right now it's using riser cards, and I find them to be a complete nuisance as they appear to contribute to the fact that the system is not reliable, I keep having GPUs drop (or how NVIDIA likes to put it, drain) on me. In any case, each riser adds at least 3 more parts to worry about.
So, I want to experiment with this riserless 8 x GPU motherboard: BIOSTAR TB250-BTC D+Seems like it's very similar to TB250-BTC+ which I am already using for the purpose with one very significant difference: Since all the GPUs are on the same level as the processor, I can no longer use the same 2-tier open frame case I've been using for the purpose. Additionally, the mobo is significantly wider for obvious reasons.
So, how do you guys house this monster of a mobo? I would love to have an open frame rig for it where I can have the same row of fans blowing on the (some passive, some with fans) P106-100s I have for the GPUs. Do they sell an open frame for these riserless mobos? Would love to avoid crafting my own framing solution. Any link or reference to make/model would be greatly appreciated. Also, if you have one to sell, DM me please.
P.S. If anyone is looking to get rid of their 6GB+ Nvidia GPUs, I may need a few spares, DM me

had this idea for a hot minute and I have made money in the past before and I wanna try again but without the need for tripling my mothers electricity bill. would I need like... 1000 dollars worth? 2000? I am going to college in about 3 weeks so I could probably just mount the panels outside my window and run it 24/7.
EDIT:
where could I find 750 watt solar panels. not point in getting an 800 watt panel is my PSU is only fit for 750
Pick up Ok
Hello everyone,
while researching, also for ourselves, for a Bitcoin mining company, we have become customers of three companies with which we are satisfied. BUT, we also ran into a fraudster... the processing is difficult, the miner is abroad, you rarely have the opportunity to do anything about it.
Although we did a lot of research and know our way around the mining sector, it happened. We were so annoyed that we launched an initiative “PlebBase” - Mine Bitcoin, Like a Pro, With Pros.
Our vision is to become a trustworthy initiative that provides a platform for good Bitcoin mining companies and informs investors and visitors in detail about everything necessary.
PlebBase is currently in the starting blocks and is negotiating with some Bitcoin mining companies for a listing on PlebBase in order to be able to present itself transparently and in detail. However, it has already become apparent that some companies are not at all interested in transparency and trust for investors, which is a shame.
But we're staying tuned, because the Bitcoin mining industry is struggling with some trust issues, and there is a chance that companies will deliver what they often promise.
Unfortunately, we also find many negative examples on Quora and are currently researching them.
We would be delighted if you could tell us your worst stories in detail. We would like to publish these on our platform to sensitise people/investors.
Perhaps the Bitcoin mining companies will also change their way of thinking. At the moment, many companies show no interest in presenting themselves openly and transparently on the platform.
They remain in their own bubble... absolutely incomprehensible to us. And this despite the fact that bitcoiners, i.e. real bitcoiners, actually want to and should stand up for precisely such values.
We would be very happy if you tell us your stories, we will of course anonymise them, so no worries about recourse claims.
Let's make a difference as plebs in this segment.
PS: Of course, we would also be delighted if you consider the project or the initiators to be just as important and promote them a little: Plebs must be protected by plebs.
PS2: If you don't want to write negative things about a company in public, an e-mail from you is also welcome.
Am I calculating this right?
S21 miner on eBay for $1260, makes 200th/s using 3550 watts
Revenue of over $9 per day assuming BTC value of $60k.
If my power is free this has a payoff of less than 5 months?????
This is seriously surprising seeing that older unit have a higher max pcb temp . But there you go I had issues trying to find this information online.
If anyone hasn’t tried GoMining and wants to know a really good strategy I found out, feel free to DM me.
All I ask is to use my code if you like the method :) it allows you to profit off of the method itself and upgrade your miners for basically free.
Anyone heard of this company before? And results, stories, horror stories? They’re claiming a 4% return of initial investment, PER MONTH, for a duration of five years with getting back my initial investment at the end of those five years. Thanks!
What is the best way to get into crypto mining?
I'm not sure where to start.
There's so much information and so many different directions to go in.
Any advice or tips. Thank you

Hello, I am interested in getting into the bitcoin mining game. I have some experience mining on my computer but would like expand to an asic miner. The Iceriver ks5l seems like the best option for my situation. They seem to be selling for $5000 and under. The generated crypto is about $40 a day. I don’t have to worry about electricity cost so the generated amount is all profit. This seems like a no brainer to me as the roi is only about 4 months. I also know this seems a little too good to be true. Does anyone have an input on this miner? Thanks!
I have a Antminer s9 that I'm trying to set up but I can connect it directly to the router because I have starlink and I don't want to buy the $150 ethernet adapter I've heard you can just bridge the connection but my pc isn't allowing it and keeps giving me the same error over and over hopefully someone here can help me out
So the past few months, I have been trying to using Auto Pay feature to auto pay hosting invoices. Every single month, the Auto Pay fails and I get an email saying it failed. Then I get an email of past due invoice. Which I have to pay + late fees. Every month I end up paying that manually. So last month I had it with them, and told them to stop charging me late fees it's not my fault your auto pay is failing. They admitted it's not working and they are working to fix it.
Last month it happened again. But now I get an email because of "late fee" occurrences they are going to terminate all my contracts. And here is the funny part: I have to pay for every single month remaining in the contract even though they refuse to service me in those months. And if I refuse to pay, they are going to seize my miners.
Basically, they caused a problem to legitimize their attempt to steal my miners
I have already contacted a lawyer, but I wanted to see if else had similar issues.
Hello guys,
The question I want to answer today is:
If we take electricity out of the equation, what would be the best cooling option for 10 to 50 ASIC miners, each running at a bit more than 3kW (a fairly small mining setup)?
I'm mining in Iraq, so we are talking about peaks of 50°C (122°F) in the summer, and space isn't an issue; it can be as close or as spread out as needed.
I think there are four main options:
What do you guys think? All opinions are welcome!
Edit: I should've included this; im planning on using air cooled miners like the Antminer S19 and the WhatsMiner M30s
Many crypto miners are seeking solutions to maximize their mining revenue. Consequently, in order to enhancethe profitability of their mining machines, the question of how to increase the hashrate has become a crucial issue. Here, we share four ways to optimize the hashrate of your mining rig.

Hi everyone, I need some advice from the community. Can you recommend any hosting farms in the US or Canada where I could place my miners? I have both 40 S19K and 40 pcs S21. I'm looking for farms with a cost of 5.5 cents per kWh or lower.
