On Solo Sk pools you can mine with any hashrate.
The minimum hashrate is set by the pool owner. Read the instructions on the pool, there is no point in mining solo with very weak devices now.
I saw the news about how a miner from Bitaxe caught a block at a speed of 500 giga hash in total, and that's when I became interested. It turns out that it's just luck and you don't need to buy a hangar with ASICs)) This is a stroke of luck, or like winning a two-round lottery. Tens of thousands of lottery miners are sold each year, yet there's very little news about profits. Recent information suggests that miners are using industrial-grade equipment for solo mining. |

FP91G, I am from Nigeria and security is a big mess here, to get a licensed gun over here is like almost impossible, unless you have connection with high class people or you are a soldier or a cop. They won't allow people to own licensed gun and that's the biggest problem here.
Yet criminals have guns, same as the kidnappers and even small time criminals in the street, it's either they make local guns themselves or they get a gun somehow, criminals can shoot people here but can only face the law if they are caught. I've seen dogs fought off criminals with gun, some dogs are trained to aim for the hand, but I get you, it's a 50/50 chnace, if the criminal is careful they can take the dogs out on sight.
Sadly this is one of the nonsense that we have to deal with over here and the rulers don't care, they only know how to keep their families safe but not the citizens of the country.
I have not been to Nigeria but I have seen a similar situation. We went to school, in a bag there were textbooks and a hammer, some carried kitchen axes, because such objects could be carried anywhere. We took care of our own safety, united in squads and patrolled our areas. If your area is controlled by squads with objects that can easily break a skull, then even bandits with weapons will not want to visit you. You should think about how to take care of your own safety, and you will have a huge decrease in crime once you fight back and other people know about it. Makes sense, since no one is allowed to carry gun in your country, if no one can carry guns around here illegally it would have been easier, even kick boxing and karate would get the job done. It is possible that my partner and I will move to our new house soon, we are already planning for safety and protection, dogs, electric fences and even house traps. Update on the stolen miners, nothing happened so far, the criminals are still at large, at this rate I don't believe that they will be caught and arrested anytime soon because of less technology equipment in the hands of the forces, fingers crossed for now. Kickboxing or karate won't help you. My friend benefited from track and field, specifically his ability to run fast. After he kicked the thug in the face and ran 15 meters away, the gunman couldn't hit him with his pistol anymore, having already wasted all his bullets. But this wasn't a planned attack, but a random street fight. If you're being attacked with weapons, not by idiots or drug addicts, but by an experienced team, then you'll need weapons. I don't know about your situation with traps or electric fences, but if a neighbor's child accidentally falls into one, your neighbors will shoot you. |

В Приангарье село было обесточено из-за криптофермы под видом полевого лагеря Село Малое Голоустное в Иркутской области на протяжении дня оставалось без электроснабжения из-за незаконной майнинговой фермы, спрятанной в лесу. Как сообщает сетевая организация ОГУЭП «Облкоммунэнерго», инцидент был зафиксирован еще 14 сентября, без электричества оставались 6 соцобъектов и 486 домов, где проживает более 1250 человек. Отключение произошло из-за короткого замыкания на высоковольтной линии, питающей поселок. ЛЭП имеет протяженность 24 км и проложена в местности со сложным рельефом. При обследовании линии энергетики наткнулись на майнинговую ферму в виде полевого лагеря с собственным трансформатором и распределительным щитом. Источник |

Let’s say I buy a Bitaxe 4TH to mine at home, would you recommend leaving it in a pool or mining solo? Bitcoin.
Easy to buy, harder to mine.
As a newbie you are, to mine Bitcoin it depends on two things.
1. Your electricity must be very cheap.
2. Your pocket must be heavy.
It costs a lot to mine Bitcoin in 2025 and its only getting started, mining isn't for many people anymore, there are also some things that can happen after you get everything running.
A hardware part can die on you, how long your equipment will last will always remain a misery.
I will choose to buy and hold or else I really want to mine as a hobbist, the past you was a miner? If no I recommend you think this through very carefully.
Well I do not think anyone can go big and make good money anymore. You can go small and if you need a space heater it is okay to do. Avalon Mini 3 https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=avalon+mini+3&_sacat=0&_from=R40&_udlo=800&_udhi=1%2C500&rt=nc&LH_PrefLoc=1Now you will not get rich on it. My units you will not get rich on them. or real small https://altairtech.io/product/bitaxe/but to think you can buy a container and fill it with 100 miners and play with the big boys nope I would advise against it. You go with the pool with lowest payout amount that way you will stand chance of getting more frequent payouts since alone clearing blocks take long time. And for OP he/she should first use a mining benchmark software or online tool to find out hash rate hardware they are going to use like laptop/pc/phone etc how much it can generate while system runs stablely. Then if it is H/s or KH/s or MH/s or GH/s or TH/s you can decide which coin to mine. So as u see many here say BTC mining you need TH/s which means if your a person with limited low performance equipment BTC mining to reach the 1st payout will take you several years. So example if your getting H/s then your only option is coins that are cpu minable which can net like $0.36 per month with H/S of 400 if on rx/o algorithm so as others said this is great if your electricity cost is low or your equipment is crazy energy efficient or you are using solar etc free electricity sources To calculate the payback of mining on a processor, you need to take into account the cost of the entire computer when calculating the payback. If you calculate this, you will understand that such mining is only profitable if you have this equipment. |

I wonder what the minimum hashrate is needed to find a block?
Somewhere I saw a speed of 400 Giga hashes in total.
On Solo Sk pools you can mine with any hashrate. The minimum hashrate is set by the pool owner. Read the instructions on the pool, there is no point in mining solo with very weak devices now. |

i was interested in what miners were stolen.
it would be sad to stick someone up for a pair of older s19’s
The serial numbers was never recorded or snapped with camera because he never had any reason to do so, @Everyone thanks for your concern and contribution. I don't know what kind of country you have and how people steal there, but in my country thieves don't carry guns. Robbery is punishable by a very long prison sentence. I can assume that since robbers came to your friends with guns, it means they knew that they had money or valuable property, and who in their inner circle passed the information to the criminals. Otherwise, it is very stupid to rob an unknown house with a gun. You need to analyze this information, your friends' acquaintances and perhaps you will find the reasons for the robbery. Robbing unknown house with a gun makes the job easier, some home owners might be stubborn or know how to defend themselves, for once let's turn this around, won't you fight or stand your ground if intruders are not with guns but come for your family? This is why they carry gun. By the way where are you from? This is the first time I will hear about a country where thieves don't carry gun, you can't say this if you are in America, in my country you can be robbed in the day light or get shot, my friend hardly brings in visitors, he is not the type that's too friendly with people but thanks for your contribution. I am from Russia. In Russia, unlike America, weapons are prohibited for sale. You can own a hunting gun and you can have a weapon for self-defense that shoots rubber bullets. But in most cases, if I use a traumatic weapon against an unarmed person, I will have problems with the law, because I will cause more harm than I will receive. To put it simply, it is better not to use this weapon when bandits beat me with their hands or feet in a crowded place where there are cameras and witnesses. In my country, if a house is robbed when no one is there, then the regular police investigate the case. If the robbery was with a weapon, then the case is investigated by special departments in the police, and they will look for the criminals for a long time. Therefore, in our country, thieves usually watch the house and wait until the owners are not home. If in your country everyone has a gun, and criminals rob houses without preparation, then I am sure that they will soon be shot by the owners of the house during the next robbery. We are not allowed to own a gun here too but we lack cameras in every corners and angles in the cities and towns, Russia is like 10 years in the future compare to my country, we are still living the past. Kidnapping and robbery is something that happens always every week in different states here in my country. For people to protect themselves they had to trained dogs into guard dogs, this is the onlg thing that robbers and criminals fear in my country, the likes of Rottweiler and Boerboel are scary for them after few have shown no mercy to thieves, other than this there is nothing else. A house getting robbed when no one is there is a mystery here, something that doesn't happen often compare to getting robbed when you are at home, some will wait for you at your entrance when you want to open your main gate, it's scary out here. What country are you in? In Russia in 1992-2002 it was about the same, but professional criminals had certain rules that could not be broken. It was forbidden to rob ordinary citizens, pensioners. Usually they robbed businessmen, officials and other rich people. There was no point in robbing an ordinary person who lives on one salary. If you rob a businessman, you can get more than robbing dozens of ordinary workers. There were also many drug addicts who robbed everyone, but such people were killed and maimed by both professional criminals and ordinary citizens. Drug addicts had no principles. A trained dog will protect you from a street hooligan or a drug addict, but not from professional robbers with a gun. If in Russia a criminal robs people with a gun without preparation, many people will fight with their bare hands. And the criminal will have to shoot people. Or in your country can criminals shoot people without problems or do all people immediately become afraid at the sight of a gun and voluntarily give up all their property? |

Loshi, do you have unlimited and free electricity?
cheap ass electricity 0.02-3-4 cent per kwh and if i can expand all my miners across 25-50 houses across this 1100-1250 House area I will have nearly 1-10% of the power grid to mining? does this sound sane? will I raise heads and get people to look into why so many houses are starting to consume so much over time? idk check the news over time and check the bitcoin node maps and hover over canada i started my first node when there was 87 nodes now there is 327! If you use Antminer S9 and pay 2 cents for electricity, you will get 20-30 cents of profit per day if nothing breaks. But I think that your costs will be greater than your profit. With ASIC Antminer S19 it will already be profitable, but I do not understand your risks. |

В Иркутске мужчину задержали за майнинг «в особо крупном размере» В Иркутске возбуждено уголовное дело против местного жителя, который незаконно майнил криптовалюту. По сообщениям СК, он майнил «в особо крупном размере». По данным следствия, 28-летний мужчина с марта 2022 по сентябрь 2025 года использовал льготные тарифы для бытовых нужд при работе майнингового оборудования в принадлежащем ему здании. В результате электроснабжающей организации причинен ущерб на сумму 16 млн руб., отмечает ведомство. В ходе обысков изъяли майнинговое оборудование, мобильные телефоны и автомобиль. https://www.rbc.ru/rbcfreenews/68c2750f9a7947fdc832de2a |

The stolen miners are not that old, a Bitmain s21 and a Canaan Avalon miner, the mini home heater with 37TH, I believe the S21 is the more costly one, so far the criminals aren't caught yet but the manhunt for them is on, I hope something will come up because it took a lot of time before this my friend can gather the money to buy these miners, he always ask me first before he go for any.

Hello everyone Mainly Asic Miner maker's!  I am curious if there is any single or duel board miners for safe home mining that cannot be overclocked or underclocked and maintain the given TH/S rate so it does not blow a breaker etc. anything in the 21 Range or newer models would be nice -Loshi BTC Choose home miners, but they will be worse than industrial miners in price and profit. https://www.asicminervalue.com/categoryYou can also buy an ASIC, then change the controller to an Epic and use any number of boards. But this may not be very profitable in financial terms. |

Please mention minimum payout for each coin? And which would give highest profit(disregarding electricity cost) for 200-300H/s on rx/0 algo? Other algo have varying speeds some have like 2KH/s etc
The minimum payout is specified on the mining pool. You need to do this in the pool settings, otherwise the average values are usually set there. Different shitcoins usually have very low fees, so you can make several withdrawals per day. |

What's the most common issue you encounter when using Antminer？  My biggest headache is what if I buy an Antminer and it has a defect? That's why I've always been picking GPU over ASIC miners because I know that when I buy from Nvidia or AMD, it's gonna be a high-quality product, while I don't have the same sense for Bitmain. The problem is that if the miner that I bought from China has a defect and I have to return it back, I'll have to pay hundreds of dollars for shipping from my country to China, which isn't worth it for me. Buying from a local market is a bad idea because they sell antminers at double the price. You mentioned the most basic rule for a miner. You don't need to buy something that you can't repair in your country. First, you need to find a good service and find out the repair prices to calculate the risks. I know that official service centers have their own rules: if 4-5 chips burn out on the board, they change them; if more, the equipment can be sent to China, and that takes a very long time. Does Bitmain have a repair centres in countries outside of China? Or are there craftsman that work on repairing damaged ASIC miners? Btw the fact that I can't repair miner in my country wouldn't be a huge issue for me if postal services were cheap here. I can cheaply receive miner in my country but sending them back is a nightmare. It literally costs you a kidney to send something in the USA too. I paid $100 to send a paper in the USA but pay $10 to receive 1 kilogram from the USA. Yeah, postal services are messed up here. I wish GPU mining was as profitable as it was in 2016. I know that in Russia there are 7-8 official service centers, and this information is on the official website. You can easily find this information for your country. But you need to understand that these service centers do not fix all the problems, sometimes they send equipment to China, but at their own expense. |
