I used a S19J Pro for the guide above but I wouldn’t recommend using that model instead use a S19XP which will achieve better efficiency and is only a 100 to 200 more for a used one. Came a long from having 10 Gammas to switching using DIY methods with old hardware🤣 Hope the guide helps someone and hopefully more people can come up with mods to help improve the design and push it even more🙏
Have a Bitcoin miner using a s21 with LuxOS installed and instead of creating custom profiles to see how much I can push it. I had AI tune my miner and actually found some solid data to make an efficient profile.
If your miner has a local API, I would recommend trying it atleast!
The full guide is now live showing how I built the Poor Man’s Avalon Q — a DIY home miner using a single S21 hashboard and 3D printed parts, doing roughly 30–40 TH/s on stock settings around 850 watts. And it’s cheaper than a NerdOctane-style miner!
I’m hoping people take this idea and improve on it — the same way the community has done with the Gammas, Nerdqaxe, cooling mods, firmware tweaks, enclosures, fan upgrades, and all the other home-mining experiments that keep pushing these miners further.
90 days solo mining with no BCH block takes a toll on you🤣 So what better way to improve my odds by paying $225 for a 10% chance of hitting a block?
I wouldn’t recommend selling any hardware that you own currently just to upgrade as it’ll be awhile till we get decently priced hardware.
Are you: • Still buying hardware right now? • Waiting for BM1373? • Or think this is being overhyped?
