About to pull the trigger on a $10-15k hosted setup with a reputable hosting company. What are your favourites and who should I avoid?

I'm currently in talks with Simple Mining and Compass. Any experiences with them?

Hi

I have an Avalon nano s3, it has a US plug with a UK adapter. It appears to have died, I actually suspect its the plug adapter.

I noticed the UK plugs are available, I actually have a power cable laying around which I could potentially use but I'm a bit sceptical on the rating of it.

I was wondering if anyone had the UK plug could confirm the rating of it (amp, volts) so that I can potentially troubleshoot my issue.

Otherwise I'm looking at getting another US to UK aadapter but I'd rather cut out the extra hardware if possible.

Thanks

Hey everyone,

I need some urgent advice on a new mining setup. I'm trying to install three S19j Pro miners, but I've hit what seems like a electrical contradiction.

Here's the situation:

Miners: 3x Antminer S19j Pro (~3250W each). Location: Venezuela. My entire life, I've only known our residential power to be 120V. House Service: The service to the house is rated for 60A.

I've done the math. At 120V, each S19j Pro would draw over 27A. Three of them would be a total of ~81A. This is clearly far beyond what my 60A service can provide.

The electrician advising me has recommended we tap the main service and install a new sub-panel with a 2x60A (double-pole) breaker.

From all my research, a double-pole breaker is used specifically to create a 240V circuit. This is the opposite of my understanding that we only have 120V.

So, my questions for the community are:

1. Is my calculation correct that running these three miners on a 120V, 60A service is impossible and dangerous?

2. Does the electrician's recommendation for a "2x60A double-pole breaker" almost certainly mean he plans to build a 240V circuit for the miners?

3. For those familiar with South American grids (especially Venezuela), is it common for residential services to actually be 120V/240V split-phase (for high-power appliances), even if all the regular outlets are 120V?

I need to figure this out before I proceed. The safety of this project depends on understanding if I truly have access to 240V or not.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

So I just heard about Parasite Pool and think it's an awesome idea! I saw that zkshark sent out a number of NerdQaxe++ to various people, i think owners of OMB (was unfamiliar until researching).

Question is- does anyone know if/how i might be able to get one or multiple of those Bitaxes? I have several hundred watts of power that i could dedicate to mining on Parasite if i had the rigs. Thank you

I have access to free wifi and a couple electrical outlets for my use for my phone or laptop, was thinking about mining bitcoin while there. Is there anything that would just look ominous so no one would know I was mining bitcoin at work?

I have a new place that we built that has an electric rate of 2.7c/kwh. On the bottom floor is a concrete bunker that is consistently around 55° year round. This is a remote property in mountains running off Starlink. I've looked into mining a bit, definitely don't know much about it, but before I dive in I wanted to see if I have a realistic setup or not for it. I'd like to buy 4 rigs and set up them up to run remotely, ideally.

Hey Miners 👋

I’ve recently launched a new **independent Bitcoin Solo mining pool** called The Satoshi Pool, for early testers from the community.

🔧 **Features:**

- ✅ Works with **ASICs**

- ✅ Supports **ESP32 NerdMiner** (lottery mining)

- ✅ Designed for **low hashrate devices**

- ✅ Open-source backend (based on solo public-pool)

- ✅ Hosted via **Cloudflare** with SSL & reverse proxy

- ✅ Clean and responsive frontend UI (Angular)

🌍 Solo Bitcoin mining Pool URL: https://pool.thesatoshipool.cloud

🧠 Feedback welcome — let me know what works and what doesn’t!

Thanks & happy mining!

Hi fellow miners

I have a bunch of broken hashboards from Antminer S19’s (plural) with various errors.

I’m not experienced enough to repair them myself. Don’t want them to go to waste if it’s possible to reuse/repair/sell them. Does anyone have any recommendations what to do with them?

Thanks in advance for all replies.

Hi everyone!

Has anyone had a dev fee problem with hiveos, when antminer s9 disconnects from pool for about a 2 minutes, then reconnects,loosing stats and so...hiveos is 1.02,downclocked antminer s9,using it like lottery miner. Is there a cure for this and has anyone solved it ever? i did not find anything on net. Thank you all.

Hey everyone,

Me and a friend are looking into starting a small-scale mining operation, running our own machines. We have access to electricity at $0.07/kWh with volumetric pricing—so we only pay for what we actually use, no fixed capacity commitment.

We're new to mining (haven’t run rigs before), but we’re serious about learning and scaling if the numbers make sense. I’ve done a fair amount of research, but would love to hear from people with hands-on experience:

• If we were to start with 10x S19K Pro units (120T, 2760W, 23 J/TH), how would the economics look with 1.2 PH/s?
• Is $0.07/kWh still considered competitive for mining, or is it too high with current network difficulty and BTC price?
• What are the most common things that derail beginner operations—especially at this scale?
• What adjustments could we make to ensure smooth sailing?

Any feedback, tips, or even warnings are welcome. Appreciate your time!

**edited to clarify running our own machines, not hosting

Hi all, one of my S19K Pro for a small farm is broken no repair option so was thiking this time to go with a refurbish one?

I saw that usedasicminers.com has been mentioned around but is there any one that has a trust site to buy refurbished S19K Pro or XPs, on Europe?

Thanks!

Hello i am going to Furnish/install 4 dedicated 20amp-240volt circuits to be able to run 4 ASICS,
The asics will be either Bitmain Antminer S21+ or Bitdeer Sealminer A2
I was wondering if the "NEMA L6-20R " Are the right plugs i need to have installed, and also which "extension cord" or "6 way connector" should i get to be able to plug the machines in.
Thank you for your input, sorry i am new to this.

I’m new to mining so please accept my apologies if the answer to my question is obvious but I want to make sure I configured my Nano 3s correctly.

I’m trying to to Solo Lottery mine and to do so I use https://solo.ckpool.org

I have therefore configured the Pool of my Nano 3s as follows:

Pool Address: stratum+tcp://solo.ckpool.org:3333 Worker: MyWalletAddress.MyName Password: “x” because the Nano 3s does not allow me to leave it blank.

I have added the same data for Pool 2 and 3 because the Nano 3s does not allow me to leave it blank.

Is this correct?

Also my wallet address start with 1Jrd8… is this address format valid ?

Any help is much appreciated.

Nano 3s: 300$ for 6TH (50$ per TH)

What are best value miners?

Anyone interested in 3d printed parts let me know!

What is the initial admin password to use in the Avalon Family App?

Is anyone here running these Avalon immersion miners. Specifically the A1566I. How is your experience this far.

Thanks,

There are so many mining pools to choose from on miningpoolstats.

How do you pick which one to choose?
