Safe to leave these while I'm away?

Planning on being away for about 2 weeks, just wondering if any of you guys leave your miners going while you're away? I've been running these for months with no issues but I've always been around in case any problems came up. x3 NerdQaxes on a cyberpower surge protector + x2 bitaxe 601s hooked up to a Meanwell LRS-100-5 into the surge protector. Would love some inputs! I have hashwatcher hub setup so I can remote monitor but that does me no good if I can't turn them on or off remotely.

NerdQAxe++ Hydro Suddenly Buzzing really loud

This sound is at 600/1150. Cool temperature, logs check out everything is normal.

Only up for around 4 days. Girlfriend accidently caught the adapter the second day, it dropped and broke the screen. Worked normally the remaining two days. This morning I noticed this loud and loud buzzing. The screws seem allright and the ventilator seems to be allright

Broken?

I did I overclock on my 601, 675mhz/1170mV connected to a mean well 90W 18A. Am I scr*wed?

Modified few codes of Nerdqaxe++ firmware with some important functionality I needed.

Hey everyone,

Thanks to AI- Chatgpt and Claude. I've been working on a modified version of the ESP-Miner NerdQAxe+ firmware for my NerdQaxe++.

GitHub: https://github.com/kiranreddyrebel/ESP-Miner-NerdQAxePlus

What I changed

  • Added Big Screen support based on Cenron's work.
  • Added password protection for the web dashboard
  • Added configurable Wi-Fi MAC address support.
  • Changed the NerdQaxe++ Access Point name.
  • Made the Access Point hidden.
  • Added password protection to the Access Point.
  • Kept the NerdQaxe++ Access Point running even when the miner connects to external Wi-Fi.
  • Restricted access to the NerdQaxe++ management interface from the external Wi-Fi/LAN.
  • The NerdQaxe++ web interface can still be accessed normally when connected directly to the NerdQaxe++ Access Point.
  • Added some custom display images/themes.
  • Feel free to copy back old images to it for display or modify it.

Network setup

The idea is to keep the two network roles separate:

NerdQaxe++ Access Point ↓ Web Dashboard / Device Management

External Wi-Fi (STA) ↓ Internet / Mining

So the NerdQaxe++ can connect to my normal Wi-Fi for Internet access and mining, while I can connect directly to the NerdQaxe++ Access Point when I need to manage the device.

Clients on the external Wi-Fi network cannot access the NerdQaxe++ management interface.

Configuration

The README includes the locations where you can change:

  • Dashboard password
  • Access Point name
  • Access Point password
  • Wi-Fi MAC address

This is a personal/custom firmware fork, so feedback and suggestions are welcome.

Griping about why SHA256 mining is unfeasible for "The Rest Of Us."

In almost every City Hall, there is a connection to an energy provider. When the "Big Boys" come knockin', the folks at City Hall listen. They get electrical rates so low, they could mine bitcoin profitably with GPUs if they were stupid enough to try. Those savings are passed onto the retail customer as fees, and increased utility rates. We pay the majority of the utility bills for the Big Boys.

They invest heavily in utility scale renewables, Megawatt switch gear, and of course really powerful mining equipment. They devalue bitcoin by throwing so much horsepower at it the blocks are being found like easter eggs hidden by Grams for the baby.

Are jobs being created? No, not really. It only takes a handful of well trained monkeys to maintain a bitcoin farm. Meanwhile, our utility rates make mining bitcoin profitably impossible. Well, you could hit a block. But, when? Pool mining should be profitable. Period.

The adjustments will never be made, though. The big players will always get the red carpet treatment from City Hall and energy providers. Heck, they make their own hardware and sell it for new to the rest of us.

I'd wager we don't see a new bitmain ASIC, ever. That, what we get are runs long after the tech is behind the curve. Maybe, boards are being desoldered and resoldered with used ASICs for our little bitaxes.

I'd go on about AI now, but this is a bitaxe forum.

I have an ASIC that runs at 13.22J/Th at 785mhz, and pulls 23W from the wall. I did a feasibility study to find the cost of electricity has to be $0.05kWh for me to make money. Mind you, that is working in a pool at Kryptex on eCash. Yeah, it's really cheap. But, it was the first to pay out. Just not nearly enough.

To make this more frustrating, I have solar on the house that overproduces a few months out of the year. But, as times changed, my payout for my solar was largely eaten by service fees. They even include the consumed energy from MY solar in the equations for their service fees.

Now, you think they treat the Big Boys like that?

Nope.
