Best home mining setup?

For heat, probably S9s or S19s. Either scattered throughout a larger house or directly fed into a heat duct for a central air setup.
For energy efficiency, Bitaxe's latest 601 gamma BM1370 (something like 15-16J/TH)
[Ask nostr:nprofile1qqstrcgctzz2d52thl8r3xwt205pswkauep0yexsla83w3fhrcrpxnqpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzvuhspwqng8 for deets]
For dual use, ApolloMiner V1/V2 (can also be used simultaneously as a miniPC built on Ubuntu I believe)
Loki board with single S19 hashboard. CC nostr:npub1ldjpk76lhwy4jrhper7vfv5syzffamerpqslt5jr8ujysn82m6zqez42tx
nostr:npub1k8s3skyy5mg5h07w8zvuk5lgrqadmejz7fjdpl60zaznw8sxzdxqxm6y88 is the best at home lottery miner
Bitaxe
Which version?
Running the 401 but I think there are newer and better ones which using the same power but the hashing power is higher
Depends on your goals.
#bitaxes are amazing to get going.
I have the Apollo II from Futurebit for my office. It’s really sleek, quiet and runs a full node.
Anyone running S19s to heat their hot tub wins it for me.
Think maybe nostr:npub1t9204xhx6yeln607xccd4t24auxzgwyw63s5s6ju5qlhhk33eyes05agf4 has done this setup?
I have an S21 pulling fresh air from outside and I either vent it outside when the weather is warm or push the heat through my ducts when it’s cold. I wouldn’t say it’s the best but it works pretty well for me.
Did anyone use the heat to create cold with an absorber cooling system?
Max out every cm^2 of your roof with solar panels. Get a house battery. Get some ASICs in an immersion cooling tank as a heat reservoir. Start with old hardware to reduce upfront capex. Use heat exchangers and/or radiators as modular heating solutions for your HVAC, water heater, hot tub, under floor heating, greenhouse cannabis farm, cocoa factory, maple syrup processing, or whatever else you can think up.
Alternatively, you can start cheap by installing ASICs directly in the air return of your HVAC like in this pic from Anadro:

Rockwool lined plywood/lumber box, 12inch fan on the outlet 1600cfm, air intake in top through half window and down the right side through a furnace filter, exhaust out other half of window (or open door and exhaust into utility room/house). this is in basement in the utility room, I dont even have the door on the utility room and have never been too bothered by the remaining noise. These machines were fired up Jan 1, 2022 so coming right up on 3 years without trouble.
Mining on nostr:npub1qtvl2em0llpnnllffhat8zltugwwz97x79gfmxfz4qk52n6zpk3qq87dze and still need to get Datum setup on my node.
(1) s19 mines less sats now than (1) s9 did when i started mining in 2022.


I just have an S9 in my living room at 700 watts
Nice n toasty
Some oldie PCs and mine Monero, the real digital cash 😀
