Hello fellow forum members. I'm new here and would like to briefly introduce myself. My name is Micha and I'm from Stuttgart, Germany. I previously had a rig with five GeForce RTX 2060 cards. Now I've acquired a used Bitmain S9 to experiment with mining. The miner is currently running at 700 watts, throttled. It's running Brain OS, and I'm using NiceHash as my mining pool. Now for my problem: every 60 days, NiceHash deducts my bitcoins because I haven't mined enough. Do you have any ideas on how I can avoid this? I would be very grateful for your help.
Bitmain S9 for 700W experiments. I'd guess your hashrate is 9Th/s or less, and your monthly earnings will be less than $8 if you have free electricity.
What's the point? I think a slice of pizza and a cup of coffee are more expensive there.
You can mine BCH, but that's a waste of electricity.
