i'll have one more, _6 coming at some point in the next week, then once the bitaxe shows up from china, that will be the end and my miners should be stable and just work away!
Thanks, have update the list.
Did you user the s9 as a heater for your home?
Have sean that kind of heater some times, but the power cost in germany is terrable for that, cant do it.
Best regards from the cold germany

Hi Willi, you can update kkmonte_4, kkmonte_5, and kkmonte_6 to be S9 miners. They are running one hashboard so output 1.11 th/s. I did a bunch of power tests, playing with voltage and mhz of the board to determine the most efficient and cheapest miner for solo mining using my old s9's that I had. The past 4 winters, I used them to help heat my house, I had them set up around my basement (which is insulated and sealed well) and they made the basement 70 deg F in the winter, which then, the heat made its way up into the main floor. I ended up saving about 400 gallons of heating oil, which is about $1200-$1300 USD in oil, a small savings with using electric for miners but I was earning btc.
As you said, for this solo pool miner, it's best to use least amount of electricity, and sacrifice some hashrate since our odds are basically the same whether my miner is running at 1100 gh/s or 3300 gh/s, odds are more or less the same.
Thanks, maybe 2024 will be our lucky year! have you done any block parties lately?
