Yeah i read through the documentation for ln payouts and it seemed a little too complex for my tastes rn.. I do want to experiment with CLN but not gonna start now just for this. Besides at over 40 cents / KWh in California this thing ain’t coming close to paying for itself 😂. I do have plans to try out the Loki board so I can run a single s19 hashboard though 👀 that should give me like 3 or 4x the hashrate at the same power draw.

Haha it’s all good the old tanker was retired in the closet for a reason. I bought it just to play with and learn about mining and for that I absolutely got what I wanted out of it. Next experiment will be to convert an s19 to run on 120v and make a custom enclosure to run a single hashboard at home!

physicall and operationally, the thing is an absolute tank. Still hashing away after all these years without hesitation. But economically (even as a space heater) s19’s or even s17’s can be had for just a few hundred bucks and make exponentially more sense..

the only advantage to the s9 is the direct plug in to 120v with no modifications, but there are people solving that problem for the newer gen miners already and I expect those solutions to get more popular / more user friendly as time goes by.
