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.

With electricity out of the equation. Is say 10 S9 ‘s equivalent to 1 s19pro in terms of them both being 140 terrahash
Does the pool split the shares by workload per device ?
Is there o efficiency difference with these two hypotheticals?
Which wallet is the best one to use for a newbie’s and how does one set one up. I wish I could transfer it to my Robin Hood account. Sorry totally a newbie in this new adventure.
I want to start mining but have to face the government regulations here😄
Hello fellow bitcoin miners.
Some fellow mods and I will be going to mining disrupt. Would yall be down to have a meet and greet? Please let me know the interest into this so i can perhaps set something up with mining disrupt.
Hi, I'm super new to this and just started mining crypto. I am using Awesome Miner through mining pool hub because I did the benchmark and it says its the most I can earn ($1.82/day). In mining pool hub when I try to do auto exchange to it gives me nothing. Also, the minimum payout is around 40$ of eth, yet you can do auto payout of 30$, so I'm super confused. Is this unreliable/unsafe/should I find something else or does anyone have any reccomendations?

Curious, if you are lucky enough to hit a block solo mining, how do you know besides checking your wallet?
got this s19 for pretty cheap and had it running a couple days, just noticed the red fault light flashing (not sure if it has been since day 1)... hashrate good, temps good, cords good, fans good, don't see any errors in miner logs... should i just ignore the light? light is flashing not steady on like in the photo, any help would be appreciated
edit: according to bitmain's site the flashing is indicating fault 5: "The hashrate value is lower than 90% of the normal value,check if the network latency is high, try to switch different mining pools."... the hashrate is normal and my other 2 miners (both s21s) are on the same pool (viabtc) and don't have any issues.

Hey everyone
I've been diving deep into the mining topic, pros and cons of mining pools vs. solo mining etc. And I wanted to get some real feedback from you all. Here's a quick breakdown of what I've found:
Advantages of mining pools:
Disadvantages of mining pools:
As I understand, big mining pools (F2Pool, Antpool, Binance Pool, WhitePool and etc) give more stable earnings,but you have to deal with fees and splitting rewards. Solo mining means keeping everything, but without serious hash power, hitting a block is almost impossible.
So what’s better—mining solo or joining a pool? If you're in a pool, which one and why? And if you're solo, how’s it going? Curious to hear real experiences. Thank you.
Hi, I am having trouble trying to mine BTC to my mine node, I downloaded and synched using Bitcoin Core. However I don't see the option to mine to my own node, any help.
if this won't work, any recommendations?
thanks
I am a little new to this and have been trying to learn more but the information gets very muddy. I have been looking into asic mining for a bit but I don't quite understand the components to the machine or fully comprehend the operation of the machine. I know its more efficient than gpu mining. if I am mixing things up please let me know and correct me. I just would like to fully comprehend the components and operation of the machine before looking into the best place to start. I apologize if this is too unclear.
i found an s9 on facebook marketplace for $200 aud, and electricity costs where i live is 27.7c kWh AUD
ive checked profitability calculators all saying i lose money, but is there any way i can make it profitable?
Anyone have a link to an s19k pro power supply cable for US. Jumping back in the mining game, built a shop with solar and batteries that aren't currently being used for anything - building apparment in part of it. So figure I should use the free power. I havent been in the game for 8 years so? A lot has chandeg, pretty sure my previous miners were 110 not 220 and cords online are all over the place. TIA
Hey everyone,
I’m relatively new to crypto mining and currently using PowerPool. One cool feature is that I can choose which currency I receive my mining rewards in.
The options are:
BTC, LTC, DOGE, DGB, ETH, CKB, KDA, DASH, KAS, BEL, BCH.
My goal is to convert my earnings to EUR or USD at least weekly, and I want to do this as cheaply as possible.
What would be the best way to achieve this? Should I mine a specific coin for lower fees? Which exchanges or platforms offer the cheapest and most efficient conversion process?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Im looking particularly at the antminer s9, my budget is around 400 bucks, looking to maximize my $/TH
I recently got an s19i with braiins installed and i wanted nicehash on it so i did the update and it went smoothly (i have it on 3 other s19's) but after the update it would no longer mine after doing some digging i figured out it was because it is not compatible with the s19i so now i am trying to figure out how to change the firmware back to either stock or braiins can any one please help so i do not have $500 paperweight sitting around?
Just a quick question for anyone with any experience with the nano 3. Is there a way I can overclock the nano 3 as during peak times my nano 3 goes up to 5th/s . I've also seen it much higher. So I do believe it's programmed to safely run at 4th with the potential to increase 50% to 100%. I've also seen my lucky miners that are 1th go up to 4 or 5th.
Hey guys Im new to this field and i am just doing my due dilligence. Are there any miners that generate revenue (not profit) of around $0.3/kwh or more than that? I have tried to look through many websites but those i can find generate around $0.1 to $0.2 per kwh.
Are you getting similar payouts per Th? What pool are you using? What are your fees?
Is this from a bad fan? If so how do I know which one, they all appear to be spinning but so much air moves through them it is hard to tell if one of them is not spinning on its own or not. This is a new to me miner and this is the log.
