S9 is not even that hard. Plugs into a regular outlet. Get a more quiet fam and use that crypto cloaks case (or make your own if you’ve got the tools and a fun idea) and then just plug the guy in and you’re basically good.
Definitely change the fans though. 😆
What about to get
It mining? Or is that automatic once you plug it in?
Was much simpler than I thought. Just get a login for whatever pool you want to use, and then enter it into the settings page. If you’ve ever logged into a router and changed your password or network name you have all the necessary skills.
Thank you for finally putting that into simple words. This is part of why I’ve held off on playing with a miner cause every walk through I can find is written for tech nerds by tech nerds, and while my wife thinks I’m a nerd I totally ain’t. I’ll think I’ll stick with my plan to get the start9 and a tiny pc both up and functional first though, just because I have all those pieces, I just gotta get ‘em put together and turned on lol
I was a bit intimidated myself and sat on my miners for like 2 months without doing anything. It was not at all as complicated as I imagined. The machine is dumb, give it the internet and some pool login credentials and it just starts hashing. It wants to hash really bad 😆

Thanks for the info! I’ve not yet had a chance to actually get to fiddling with it. I’ve got a 13 month old and my wife is like 40 weeks pregnant and I work all the time. Wild times over here lol when I do get to it I’ll be sure to find the telegram! Thanks!
