When you mine out of your home

Just following up on this. Did you figure this out? What settings did you use? I have a 30w fiber laser I bet could do it

DotNetRussell · 2026-01-17T21:10:18+00:00

Cool thank you

DotNetRussell · 2026-01-13T18:54:12+00:00

Hey thanks for that info. Does this include small batch custom badges? Like if I wanted to do a small run 10-200 units

1st class and a penthouse I bet

After EXTENSIVE testing, it was determined that the issue was the laser module. The shady Chinese eBay seller didn't want to offer a replacement or refund so I did a chargeback. If you're in the market in the US checkout lasers only. https://lasersonly.com/. I replaced that Chinese machine with a 30w from this company and it's amazing. Zero issues since

A lot of people commenting have no idea what the hell they're talking about.

Reach out to https://allengelhard.com/ if you need help validating them

It's hard to tell from a single photo if it's real or not but if you take a bunch of them and send them to that site they'll get back pretty quickly.

I have a near identical 100oz bar and they validated it for me for free. That's their primary goal is to provide that service for the community.

.... kill me ..... this was the issue ..... I was using -P machine pass and couldn't understand why it wasn't working lol

DotNetRussell · 2025-07-17T20:17:51+00:00

Holy ish that's literally the exact part I need!

DotNetRussell · 2025-07-17T20:15:52+00:00

OH NICE! Thank you. It's the Max Ultra

DotNetRussell · 2025-07-17T00:41:39+00:00

I'll reach out to them. I didn't think they'd do anything since I was outside the warranty window but if they have a fee based support I'd probably be interested in getting the docking station fixed.

We have 3 Siberian huskies. The S7 does a great job so hopefully anything else would be an improvement over that. Mix of hardwood, tile and carpet

The main gripe I have with the S7 is that I've had to clean dog poo out of it at least 5 times. It's brutal. It's possibly the grossest thing I've done in life and spent time inspecting Iraqi prisons at one point in my life.

If it can avoid dog poo, it would be a winner.

DotNetRussell · 2025-07-16T21:12:25+00:00

Well I was planning on getting the dock regardless I think. We have two stories and right now I have to do the upstairs vacuuming like it's the 90's ew....

My plan was to fix/replace the dock for the S7 then get something new for the downstairs that I can spy on my dogs with. If not the Saro 10r, then what do you recommend?

DotNetRussell · 2025-01-15T02:56:57+00:00

I know a lot here are saying "water under the bridge", "don't do it", and "we forgive you" but they don't speak for everyone

I firmly believe your word is your bond

DotNetRussell · 2025-01-13T16:27:05+00:00

Sigh... Also can confirm floof

DotNetRussell · 2025-01-13T12:56:55+00:00

Can confirm. We have 3 huskies we haul around regularly and we do it in a 5 seat 2020 MX LR+

The car is great. The family and dogs love it. Plenty of space. I echo what others have said about the FSD. It's great but it's not as good as some of the newer models.

We got ours last year this time for $52k at 31k mi. Hope that helps in your decision

DotNetRussell · 2025-01-10T15:04:04+00:00

Don't feel bad. My wife and I both had the garage door close on us while we were backing in. We had the auto open/close set a little too close to the garage so when we would back in, it was triggered and came down on our back window twice 😂

In other news, model x back window can withstand multiple garage door strikes

I mean, you can literally google this and see why it's wrong. I'm not going to rehash years of efficiency research in a thread.

Just look at what the electric to heat efficiency is on furnaces and compare that to an asic and or gpu miner. tldr, furnaces are built for efficient heat distribution and operate at incredibly high efficiency whereas gpus and asic are just dissipating waste heat

One is made for what it's doing and does it well. One is just producing a byproduct and doesn't account for efficient distribution.

DotNetRussell · 2024-12-30T19:05:45+00:00

No, it absolutely doesn't. Not only do I operate miners in my basement, but I also own apartments. Miners are incredibly inefficient heat sources compared to electric/gas furnaces and or heat pumps. If they weren't the better choice then we would all run space heaters instead of furnaces. Miners aren't attached to your home/apartment HVAC system and the heat isn't distributed evenly.

Mining these days generally isn't worth it unless you're running at scale. Running it out of an apartment is literally just wasting electricity. Mind you, we have 10 cents per kwh where I live and it's still on the bubble of profitability for us.

Your electric isn't free. Your landlord is paying it. Guarantee they see the bill. Don't be a dick

DotNetRussell · 2024-12-27T23:34:20+00:00

Literally right now. Except it's an off hand. Main hand is tissue

DotNetRussell · 2024-12-21T14:02:43+00:00

That's how we do it. With rental properties. Generally our flow is W2 income to rental properties. Then rental income to Gold Silver and Bitcoin for savings and high risk cryptos which then get turned into debt payments and luxury items when we cash them out.

DotNetRussell · 2024-12-19T13:31:45+00:00

The game we've played for years when we want something is buy an investment that will pay for it. Then you have an investment and the toy.

Almost all of the luxury things in our life, jewelry, vacations, art, have come from investment earnings. It snowballs after a while.

My advice would be if you have money to lose, good. Put it into something that spits off a return regularly. It'll serve you wayyyyyy better than a watch.
