Those #bitaxe miners sure look cool. Still in doubt of buying one š¬

If you can afford the electric bill and the noise. An Antminer S9 is a joy to get running
I have an s9, was a fun project indeed. but I donāt like the electric bill it comes with š
Iāve thought about setting it to a super low wattage so it doesnāt run my bill up so high, winter is coming š„¶
Indeed. Thatās what Iām doing now too š
But in addition to that. I just like how āefficientā these Bitaxes seem to be. I like that a lot!
The energy consumption is nothing, but also you have a low hashrate. Its like decoration, you know
There are a few models out there that go up to around 5TH I believe? No?
Thatās not a lotā¦ but itās way more efficient than an s9
it comes down to Joules per Terahash (J/TH) If it has the chip of the s19 on the Bitaxe board, it would be more efficient than an s9 for sure.
Thx for explaining!

Thing is, I already have a few miners at home lol
Probably no point then?
Wdym? They arenāt cheap lol
What other miners are you running?
S9 (at very low power) and an avalon nano 3 sometimes.
But I like how efficient these bitaxes are, but not so cheap
Whatās the s9 hash rate and wattage? Assuming running brains underclocked?
At max you can get around 13TH I believe. But thats at a wattage of 1750? Smth like that I believe
They are great for testing
Testing? Only for testing?
If you want to make money get a bigger miner
Oh, thatās true. But not really in it for the money. I mean, it would be niceā¦ but š
I just like how efficient they are. Iām kinda doubting to switch the s9 for a bitaxe
why not both? i run my s9 in the winter. it costs me money but i like to have a warm room like a fireplace.
my bitaxe is currently mining ehash š¤
it's a really great testing tool. props to nostr:nprofile1qyv8wumn8ghj7urjv4kkjatd9ec8y6tdv9kzumn9wsqzpv0prpvgffk3fwluuwyeedf7sxp6mhny9uny6rl57969xu0qvy6vhuwgqp for the developer hookup! š
ehash? Whut?
And indeed, it heats up the room. Thatās nice
Neve heard of itā¦ another rabbit hole? š„²
But in terms of heating the room. It could be more efficient for me, I believe
you only get one shot
