This winter will mark 8 winters of heat capture ₿itcoin mining in our home. Here are a few lessons I’ve learned in having mining be the winter time heartbeat of our home: Get your wife and kids on board: @StotheBandaD wouldn’t have become super Pleb Miner Wife without convincing her this is our family doing this, not just daddy playing with his Bitcorns in the basement. The same can be said for our daughters, mining noise is a soothing and comforting to them as the sounds of the ocean or the rain. Start small, just try heating one space or area to get your feet under you Keep it simple: over engineering is fun and all, but if you’re tinkering constantly, it can be frustrating. It’s certainly not a one and done investment, keep money aside for repairs and upgrades Safety: unmolested miners aren’t purpose built for home use and modified miners… well… just be careful out there. Noise: air cooled is noisy as you all know, plenty of tips and tricks to mitigate. Shrouds and ducting go a long way. Immersion but more so Hydro, are the future, but expensive. Firmware: scale up and down constantly? Idk, for me I don’t get obsessed with having the exact right temps, sometimes shunting waste heat outside is the better choice. Don’t spend a ton of money, not until you have done it for a couple seasons. KNOW YOUR STATISTICS: power rate profitably hash price hash value efficiency $/TH They all still matter, maybe even more so as this is now part of your household/family budget (your wife will certainly give a shit about these numbers) Keep it clean, do your PM’s And last but certainly not the end as I want to hear more from the Pleb Miner Mafia, love it, love what you’re doing, and have fun doing it.
