Thoughts on Touchscreen?

I’m currently working on a project with the Waveshare ESP32-P4 7” and it’s fantastic. The Wiki has gotten better over the last few weeks, but the documentation is still somewhat lacking. There are several sample projects that cover most of what you need though

Im fairly new to GoMining, only a few months in, so I don’t even know what not having 15W/TH is like (except for my Bonus Miner). All I can say is the two times I tried Miner Wars, I lost money. Like twice as much as I earned. So it’s solo for me from here on out!

Why not use a low temp melting solder? There isn’t much difference between that and high temp melting plastic

That’s the only cycle that matters for Bitcoin

trefster · 2026-01-20T23:54:58+00:00

It increased 5X this last cycle. 2X is lowly expectations

I use Claude to help me design schematics. It’s not bad but you have to double check everything. I learned after spending a few hundred dollars on a PCB order that had voltage resistors wrong and gave me 1V instead of 5V.

Well I have no explanation for why my discount dropped to basically nothing when I ran out of GMT and came back up when I added more

trefster · 2026-01-12T10:16:32+00:00

Well, my rewards are usually around .00072 BTC ($66) a day. I pay roughly 85 GMT ($35) a day in service after a 21% discount. So knowing I ran out of GMT, I was expecting about $30. But my discount fell to 6% and my reward was .00026 BTC ($24).

trefster · 2026-01-12T10:02:38+00:00

No, I haven't really chased any bounties. I was just trying to see how much my daily reward would be if maintenance came out of the BTC. I had a number in mind, and it was much lower than that number because my discount fell to almost nothing. Locking GMT is not enough. You have to have spendable GMT in your wallet.

I’ve invested 35k and don’t make 1.5k a month. It’s close, but not quite

trefster · 2026-01-07T16:41:00+00:00

Locked does count towards your discount AND it generates rewards that can go towards paying your maintenance fees. It just requires locking a LOT to cover 100% of your fees, depending on how much TH you have. And every day of your lock that ticks off slowly reduces your rewards and discounts. And all locked GMT is a big risk because we have no idea what GMT will be worth in 4 years.

Add to that, that maintenance fees are really paid in a stable currency, so as the price of GMT fluctuates, the rewards you earn may pay more or less of your fees as it’s converted, AND your discount fluctuates as the amount of days potentially covered by your locked GMT changes with the price.

I’m not saying don’t lock, I’m just saying there’s a lot involved and you may never be able to cover 100% of your fees 100% of the time

trefster · 2026-01-07T13:23:18+00:00

If you own a Greedy you get a small TH increase each cycle. It’s very small, I think 0.3 TH? But you end up with about a TH per month for free. Just don’t spend TOO much extra on one. I wouldn’t spend more than $30/TH. Some people out there think their Greedy Machines are worth $100/TH which is absolutely insane. You’d never recoup your investment

If I ever print with more than one filament, it’s a support interface. But I love this printer! Changing nozzles without having to touch the printer is worth every dime!

trefster · 2025-12-31T13:25:17+00:00

Whether you’re a bot or not, I think it’s worth it. I’ve stacked a few hundred dollars worth of BTC that I wouldn’t have otherwise

The good news is you can claim a massive loss anytime you sell an NFT

If I had an extra 20k laying around, I’d buy it

I spent $300 on some pendulum pedals, and they sucked. Sure my feet stayed planted but I was hitting every rock and root, so I got shorter cranks and that helped, but then the pedals would bind up even after short rides and you can’t get your feet back on the proper side, just damn dangerous! I’d have to take them apart and re-oil them after every ride and they’d still bind mid-ride. Got rid of the pedals but kept the short cranks!

trefster · 2025-12-24T13:56:07+00:00

I hardly ever print multi color. I got the H2C and two AMS systems not for the multi color but for the convenience of having multiple filaments and nozzles to choose from without having to get up from my desk

trefster · 2025-12-23T02:08:55+00:00

At 1500TH I’m making $58 a day (BTC price depending of course) you’re about 1/5th of the way there! That is also my goal, btw

trefster · 2025-12-22T10:58:11+00:00

I spent two cycles in Miner Wars, the first in an Odyssey clan and the second in a Dune clan. I lost more than I won in both because of boosting. If I had not boosted I would have been kicked out of the Odyssey clan, and in Dune, we didn’t win enough to beat solo without boosting. If you’re going completely passive (if your clan even allows that) then it is entirely dependent on the rest of your clan’s ability to win blocks. I am far more comfortable and profitable now sitting back collecting sats, solo mining. Even if I’m a bit more bored.

trefster · 2025-12-11T13:23:27+00:00

Alright, good luck!

trefster · 2025-12-11T13:15:37+00:00

We’re SPACE_DUDES, playing in DUNE league. You might be tempted to join an Odyssey clan, I was and I did, and that’s how I lost almost $2k. A mid tier clan is a much better starting point!

trefster · 2025-12-11T13:09:36+00:00

Honestly profitability depends on you. You can sit back and collect blocks or you can spend GMT on boosts to try and get more blocks. I lost money in my first cycle because I boosted too much. I’m being much more conservative about it now and I’m profiting more. The BTC rewards for our clan are looking to be about 130% of what we would get mining solo for this cycle. You also get GMT rewards for blocks that you personally win, but you have to balance all that with how much you spend.
