Who are you decide what is or isn't a good or ethical use of block space? Transaction fees are a market. If its too expensive, dont participate. The upgrades that enabled this are in the past. We allowed this to happen, its not an exploit or attack, but merely a cautionary tale to learn from and move forward. As soon as you start talking about censoring any kind of network transaction you diminish the entire network.
If on chain fees are too high for your transaction needs, then you need to move to lightning, fedi, liquid, etc...
Someone sees value in on chain block space right now.
In the future, after mass adoption, transacting on chain will (hopefully) be an expensive proposition reserved only for those that can afford it.
So the cheap radiator was predictably a bad idea. Didn't leak or kill anything, but the baffle between the inlet and outlet failed internally so water quit flowing through the radiator core and effectively became useless for cooling.
Hashboard was saved from a spicy death by an overtemp shutoff automation i put in home assistant.
Oh well. Waiting on a tried and true Alphacool ES T38 360mm radiator now.

Not custom, very much available. I ordered these straight from Zeus mining, but there's lots of examples all over aliexpress.
Single water block per hashboard
It works! I've got another space specific mining heater upgrade and I wanted to see how cheap and simple I could water cool an #S19 for a #homemining. This is literally the cheapest 480mm (4x 120mm fan) radiator I could find at $32.99 and had no reviews. Also went cheap on the fans, Arctic P12's instead of Noctua. Still using an Alphacool Eisstation with DC-LT 2600 pump because I like the packaging. And guess what? It works just fine! Cooling capacity is less for sure, but in this application I don't need to run the single hashboard at more than the minimum power anyways. For this 95T S19 that equates to 22th/s around 580 watts.
This is built to hide under a dresser, so I'll be detaching the power supply from the chassis so it'll fit. When I do that I'll swap the PSU fans to Noctua's because noise.

Plenty of people run full nodes of equivalent value for no economic benefit.
Did I hear a rumor that there is a six chip version in the works?
nostr:npub1zkheuq5dhyh9p42x9l6cxlke2t2p4x79y9ylhh4yt07qmnxhcmvsqfqqcm This is amazing, thank you so much for bringing this to my attention!
I've got a bunch of S9j's and they all seem to run most efficiently at 900 watts. If I'm running all three boards, I typically 3d print a 6" duct adapter and remove the fans an use an AC Infinity inline fan. If I need it silent then I'll run a single board with cardboard stuffers and replace the fans with Arctic P12's.
Eh, had them leftover from GPU mining days. I wouldn't go out and buy a new one just for this though.
Yes, works well. Ran them as heaters for a long timr. S9 hardware is getting old though and starting to see lots of failures. Started switching over to S19's running a single board, with a water cooling plate, and PC radiators and pumps for cooling. Huge leap in efficiency and hashrate. If you can pick up a hashboard, control board, water block, and a Nakatomi Mining Loki board, you'd be all set.
I've done that. Chased efficiency with Titanium efficiency PC power supplies
Still can't get over how damn well this thing works. Snowed last night and this thing still is keeping the bedroom plenty warm duty cycling on the lowest power.
I'm working on a Home Assistant integration to manage power levels and scheduling for the three miners based on BLE temperature sensors for each room.
In the meantime, using crontab in braiinsos to schedule when the heater runs based on utility rates and needed heat. Its still not very cold yet, but there's plenty of overhead for running this with more power to generate more heat.

I've dried clothes over it before, so yeah, set a dish rack on top and I imagine you'd be in good shape as long as they're not dripping.
I'll also add that a separate enclosure like I built is completely unnecessary unless like me, you plan on putting it in the bedroom you share with your wife. You can get a single 480mm radiator and direct mount it via the existing s19 120mm fan mounting holes and be good to go. For packaging reasons I've gone with two radiators and made it as complicated as possible.
Major upgrade on the bitcoin space heater. I've replaced the three aircooled single board #S9 miners with a single board water cooled #S19 that runs cool and quiet while pumping out the heat. Used two Alphacool ES 280mm radiators, four Noctua NF14 1500rpm fans, three noctua 60x25mm fans, and an Alphacool
Eisstation pump and resevior combo. This setup keeps the hashboard under 60c up to 850 watts.

I remember upgrading to a 14.4kbps modem when they first came out. So fast compared to 9600. 56k was straight living in the future.

Ironic news given the price action
Since Nostr is written in permanent ink I just want to say unequivocally that Craig Wright is a fraud.

Am I surprised? No. Do I think this administration can pull something like this off? Also no. That certainly won't stop them from making a heavy handed authoritarian best effort.
