It was a week ago that my friend asked me for solo mining operation, told him all the bad sides first and then the good side, he or we both went for Nerdaxess, but yesterday I call him to cancel the orders.
We choose 12TH NerdAxe, two pieces before but I told him to cancel because of an engineer thats available on YouTube who said that the most dead Asic miners he has been getting from people since the last months are all NerdAxe and NerdQaxe.
Those things died easily he said, then I went under the comment section of the YouTube video only to see more money sharing their experience with these miners, two weeks then dead, a month then dead,, etc.
He changed the others to Avalon Q and Avalan mini 3.
I think NerdAxe and small solo miners are all too fragile.
How many of you here ended up with dead small miners like this?
My hammer miners are studly beasts.
I have 4 of them
A 5th bc04
A 1.2th bc01. Both for bitcoin
A 400mh dc08
A 200mh dc04 both for scrypt.
I did long reviews on the four units and did you tube videos.
Most fancy YouTube videos are garbage with lack of good detail.

I can honestly tell you you were smart to cancel the 12th miner from nerdaxe.
12th should take more than 1000 years to hit a block
So why buy a 400 or 500 dollar miner to solo mine.
Buy a 1 chip hammer bc01 year it should take more than 12000 years to hit a block
But its cheap and low power use which is how you should solo mine.
Not a an avalon q or mini3
BTW my avalon mini 3 died in under six months it is not well made.
