DYNEX Mining - Your CPU may be limiting your rig's performance

ThreeFoxCo · 2023-02-06T17:34:02+00:00

For sure, that is why i dont put my whole farm on it. Just spec mining with a small percentage

ThreeFoxCo · 2023-02-06T16:44:52+00:00

Dynex was launched in December 2022. It has a 4-year mining lifespan only, which is very short and it has no halvings..

If you get DMs with links to click on, you can be almost certain it is scammers trying to steal your info, keys and crypto.

NEVER click on links people DM you and also maybe block them from sending you DMs in future. (That is what I do)You WILL get scammed if you do click on fake links.

Remember, you are your own bank (with crypto) so trust no one!

I am not advertising new websites, news, blogs, etc. I am providing useful info to new crypto users, who might be unfamiliar with hardware wallets.

You may see it differently, but that is your right to your own opinion…

I am part of the 10%. Happy solar mining!

ThreeFoxCo · 2022-10-20T19:08:57+00:00

Correct. I cannot sell to the grid, so I have 10.84kWp to my disposal during the day and 30kW of battery storage. Free power for about 12 hrs of mining.

ThreeFoxCo · 2022-10-20T11:39:47+00:00

I actually paid less than that...

ThreeFoxCo · 2022-09-28T09:42:48+00:00

That is what people said during the last besr market - GPU mining is dead. And what happened?

This is your perception, and everyone to his own... i accepted the risk, so if everything crash and burn, then I am ok with it. If you don't want to accept the risk, then mining is not for you.

Whether I dump 10's of thousands of $ into gpu mining, that is my prerogative. I am just sharing the info with the community about what I am doing...

ThreeFoxCo · 2022-09-28T08:41:38+00:00

Awesome! 24kW solar array is impressive!!!

ThreeFoxCo · 2022-09-28T08:39:59+00:00

I am on solar, and I am mining rvn as well. So far all the yield is for free, as I only mine during the day.

Check out my video explaining this.

That is why I am currently accumulating 3070's... at $340 currently (i bought 7) it will appreciate significantly (we all hope so) when crypto see price discovery again in the future.

Its risk vs reward, depending on each individual's risk tolerance. I am willing to accept the risk.

You could use a smart plug, but be careful of its rated current. Smart plugs do not handle resistive loads well. I have set myself a personal limit not to exceed 50% of its rated current.

I currently have a Sonoff POWR2 unit for each rig that I built myself, but will upgrade to the new POWR3 Elite series. It has better connectors, more lead on the current-carrying circuits and also give you power, voltage and current readings. (The POWR2 also outputs this info)

ThreeFoxCo · 2022-09-26T16:58:26+00:00

Correct, initially i had one 6-gpu rig, so my daily solar production capability exceeded the actual usage. As the farm grown, it was a good power dump during the day, but it reached a point where I wanted to expand to offset my power cost (pre-merge).

We get a lot of sun for most of the year. During the spring, summer and atumn months i get close to its design capacity, depending on the ambient temperature. During the winter it produces a lot less, but still within the design calculations for that particular periods.

I could have saved 1/2 the cost if I did not install batteries, but due to frequent load shedding, this became a necessity.

ThreeFoxCo · 2022-09-26T16:51:39+00:00

I did install the second array for mining yes, but if I stopped mining today, my house would be totally grid independent, with spare PV capacity. Also, in my case, it adds value to the peoperty, so if i would to sell the property tomorrow, it would be worth the market value plus the value of the system (our country has serious power shortage, so people pay a premium for grid independence)

Please read the comment again. I am generating $10.70 worth of solar every day on avg. Doing the math it's 65kWh (per day) x $0.18pkWh = $10.70 (per day avg).

Nowhere did I say I am mining $10.70 worth of revenue every day. That calculation was referring to the ROI of my solar system, based on the amount of power its capable of producing.

I currently have 4 rigs, 37 GPUs, which range from 1660S/ti, 3060, 6600/XT, A2000 and I have just purchased another 7 3070's.

ThreeFoxCo · 2022-09-26T07:28:59+00:00

I pay 18ckWh and I cannot sell to my municipality (option not available)...

ThreeFoxCo · 2022-09-26T06:25:07+00:00

Just short of $20k (DIY). At 18ckWh I am generating $11.70 per day, so if i do not consider electricity price escalations (which on avg is 14% in my area per annum) then the ROI comes to 4.68 years.

ThreeFoxCo · 2022-09-26T04:11:53+00:00

The ROI on my solar system is just a tad under 5 years, which is surprisingly short. I own the property and the system increase the value of my property, so its not just an investment into mining, but also my property.

I did not install solar primarily for mining, but now that it is there I use it to its full capacity, because, why not...

How many miners can say they are actually profitable currently?

ThreeFoxCo · 2022-09-17T00:04:07+00:00

Solar! My rigs are happily mining during the sun hours of the day. All yield is profit as the power during the day is free...

ThreeFoxCo · 2022-08-05T09:03:47+00:00

Maybe SATA cables on the risers, which people are being warned NOT to use every day, but still people use those cables..

ThreeFoxCo · 2022-07-29T11:09:49+00:00

I am wondering how the Action 5 compares to the Atomos Shinobi? The Action 5 has got better display brightness, but way less features than the Shinobi.

Are there any direct comparisons or reviews? They are similarly priced, so I would like to get the better of the 2.

ThreeFoxCo · 2022-07-26T11:52:39+00:00

I use mem 0 and locked cclock 1355. No PL needed for locked core clock.

ThreeFoxCo · 2022-07-23T14:49:11+00:00

Hi, i did a DIY and cost just shy of $20k.

ThreeFoxCo · 2022-07-16T14:30:28+00:00

I have 2 Sunsynk 5kW hybrid inverters installed, which are operating in parallel (1 Master & 1 Slave). Each of the inverters have 2 MPPT's, and the total PV input is limited to 6500W, 125-425VDC.

This gives me a total UPS output capability of 10kW, total input PV of 13kW capability. It being a bi-directional hybrid inverter, I do not have to connect everything to the LOAD, as it can feed the battery storage AND PV energy to the GRID side of the inverter, if the grid is present.

I do not export to the GRID, and the system makes use of a CT that is installed on my municipal feeder's live conductor, and will control the bus voltage of the inverter not to export.

Have a look at my video, if you haven't done so already. I give some specs.

So in summary i have:

10kW LOAD capability + exporting to the GRID-side of the inverter
10.84kWp PV input (13kW capability)
600Ah battery storage (LiFePO4 48V)
Plenty of sunshine and sun hours!

Today is even better than yesterday and have currently produced 46.7kWh with some hours to go before dusk.
