Okay. Pulling in about $8/day in XMR with CPUs, $17.50 in BTC from @NiceHashMining with 3x1080 and 1x1080ti. The 1080ti hashrate is double any one 1080 (!!!).
Stacking 3 gpus in my workstation is getting a little toasty (85c even with a box fan), SO . . .

. . . in the interest of learning and also because I realized the case (Mercury S8) can be converted to a GPU rack with a little modification, I'm going to grab some risers and see if I can extend my GPU working life by spacing them out. Pics to follow when set up.

Came home, house was 71F. Mission accomplished. Unfortunately, also dug around downstairs and saw thispic.twitter.com/ml3Wl4g8Av

So: two circuits serving the apartment, one for hardwired lights, one for everything else. Hmmm. Guess I could take down a chandelier and rewire it to an outlet. Or just make use of an existing set of wires from the ceilingpic.twitter.com/4SFDA5dHk6

Before I do that, though, going to flip the breaker and see what still works outlet-wise. My guess is nothing but gotta be sure.

Interesting. Flipping the switch disables lights *and* outlets. Possibilities: 1. Single circuit, 20A 2. One breaker switch controls two 10A circuits First possibility would be the most convenient. Unsure how to test. Need to read up on breaker notation next I think.

Helpful mutuals assure me (1) it's a single fixed 20A circuit and (2) fucking with the circuit breaker will result in literal face melting, so spent the evening playing with GPU optimization. Heat actually a major bottleneck when 3 GPUs arrayed with no space, surprising no one.

So, working around this. Earlier plan for 16x -> 1x risers for my case won't work since *all* the slots in my board are x8/x16 form factor. Instead, repurposing my pseudo-NAS box to hold one 1080, and going to kludge a different solution with a ribbon riser in my workstation.

Rearranged things a bit more, jammed one of my 1080s into the mATX rig I was using as NAS. Probably consumes ~300W full tilt, which is more than my refrigerator. Wiferobot is going to want to store perishables, so I'm renting space for it in my DM's house at $25/mo + electricity

You can totally undervolt all of those cards you have with minimal effect on your bottom line if you're worried about running into power draw limitations. Essentially electric saved pays for the few hashes you might lose by undervolting

I thought about that! I may end up doing it if I run into trouble even after I move my small box to the rental space, but for now I'm pausing on new capex

Also a question, are you selling your coins as soon as you get them, or are you holding for nicer prices

holding atm, although I'm a bit conflicted there. seems like I'm already pretty effectively long crypto with my capital allocation. might sell some off once I figure out the tax implications :) but also my total balance about $120, so no rush
