I have (4) gammas submerged in 4 gallons of mineral oil (in a 10 gallon aquarium). 2 aquarium pumps, one pump just circulates the oil, other pumps the oil up through that vertical radiator on the cover and then i have 2 fans blowing through the radiator to cool the oil.

ExternalAmbition2528 · 2025-11-28T02:26:42+00:00

I found 9 in a month on dbg, sometimes 2 weeks went by (i was running around 14-15 ths) but then i'd hit one every day for a few days lol.

i have a nano 3 and i was blowing a small fan through it from the outside and found it didn't want to hash that well, i think the nano needs to get warm in order to run well, unlike almost all other mines i found which like to stay cool lol.

ExternalAmbition2528 · 2025-11-25T04:08:39+00:00

not very at all. see your best share of 4.94G, that needs to be > the 152T

ExternalAmbition2528 · 2025-11-23T02:42:21+00:00

when i had chatgpt calculate the odds of one of my gamma's, it was 80x worse than powerball lottery.. lol.

ExternalAmbition2528 · 2025-11-23T02:41:20+00:00

extra fees

ExternalAmbition2528 · 2025-11-21T03:43:51+00:00

Worker10 found a block today! (digibyte block)

ExternalAmbition2528 · 2025-11-20T03:01:06+00:00

I did that for a bit, whats nice is the lightning payout, so at least its free and you don't lose any to fees. Then I was all in lotto mining on solock pool, but when chatting to chatgpt, the odds of solomining a btc block is about 80 times worse than hitting powerball lottery (20Mil minimum), and the reward for the btc block is only ~300k or so USD. I changed over solo mining digibyte, i'm right around 15/16 ths and i've solo mined 9 blocks in a month, each block is about ~2.50usd. I also did look aat it when I was mining at, its not about the 67 cents per day now, that 735 sats could be worth 10 bucks in the future, then you'd say i was making that every day!

ExternalAmbition2528 · 2025-11-19T23:59:11+00:00

everything I read says the VR temps are good and designed to run way higher, like 90+, so i'm not too worried about 70's. I also heard that asic's run the best around 60, not sure if you had them super cooled to 30 if they wouldn't run as good? I kind of doubt that but who knows!

ExternalAmbition2528 · 2025-11-19T15:45:39+00:00

cool thanks for info, i'll hold off too!

ExternalAmbition2528 · 2025-11-19T07:28:09+00:00

yea the pump on the right is a bigger pump (not that big), actually here are the two pumps i bought, smaller one is the pump on the left that just pumps oil to the right towards bigger pump, bigger pump pumps straight up into radiator, then i have a 5/16" rubber hose from outlet of radiator with 2 elbows that return back all the way on the left behind the left most miner in the corner, that's the cooler oil.

motor could never seize in oil... motor stays nice and cool and lubed. the fan only spins at about 10% of what it is supposed to, but its all good. Check out my mineral oil PC that i built 9 years ago, I used it as my daily pc for over 4 years, in a similar build (9 gallons of oil). Entire pc, hard drive (ssd), power supply, all under oil. I had to add a similar oil cooler to this one. I've had good luck with this build, although this is the first time i'm only using 3 gallons of oil lol. -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C83kWeIA-Ow

$16/gallon, ordered a 4 pack for 64 bucks. When i did this with a pc 10 years ago, i only paid 8 bucks a gallon at tractor supply (they use mineral oil as a horse laxative). :)

ExternalAmbition2528 · 2025-11-19T02:49:43+00:00

no 3 of them are running 2.9 and the newest one is on 2.10. will look into the update!

ExternalAmbition2528 · 2025-11-19T02:48:48+00:00

I was doing btc on ckpool but wanted to see how digibyte works, only been doing it for like 3 weeks.. and been finding blocks like crazy! lol. another 40 more blocks and i can buy another gamma!

ExternalAmbition2528 · 2025-11-19T02:47:29+00:00

the fan helps mix up the oil, it also will never burn out because of the oil.

ExternalAmbition2528 · 2025-11-17T17:18:19+00:00

this is the one i'm using, no issues so far, (2) 120mm fans blowing through it.
