Welcome to the Home Crypto Mining Journey
Today, we will be taking an updated look at the hobbyist miner’s home crypto mining setup and completing a few tasks, including moving around GPUs and discussing upcoming projects. Join us as we dive into the intricacies of home crypto mining and learn more about maximizing efficiency and profitability.
Wadom S19J Pro Antminer Update and Replacement
First, let’s talk about Wadom and the Bitmain Antminer S19J Pro. Some of you may recall the issues that we experienced in our crypto mining shed with this particular miner. One of the hash boards burned up, which you can see in a previous video linked in the upper right-hand corner of this article. Thanks to Wadom, we have a replacement S19J Pro ready to go, which is a used unit but still functional.
In the coming weeks, we will clean up the replacement miner, replace any necessary parts, and continue to work on optimizing our setup. In the meantime, we have purchased new dummy plugs for the fans to ensure everything is top-notch when it comes to safety and efficiency.
Crypto Mining Room and Rig Updates
Our crypto mining room is undergoing a few changes. For starters, we are replacing some rigs with more energy-efficient GPUs. Specifically, we plan on decommissioning the older RX 470s, 570s, and possibly the 580s and replacing them with more efficient 6600s.
However, this does not mean we’ll be getting rid of these older GPUs. Instead, we will clean, repair, and store them for potential use during the fall and winter months when the ambient temperature is cooler. The mining room will remain useful for those seasons when cold outside air can be pulled in to help with cooling.
Relocating the Rigs to the Crypto Mining Shed
As part of our optimization efforts, we’ll be moving the existing rigs out of the mining room and into the crypto mining shed. The GPUs operating in the home will be taken outside, and the mining room is expected to run only during the fall and winter months to avoid overheating the house during the warmer seasons.
Efficiency Improvements and Future Plans
With an eye on efficiency, we will gradually replace our older GPUs with more energy-efficient options, such as the RX 6600s. This will help us remain profitable while reducing overall power consumption. As Ethereum’s merge approaches, we will also focus more on mining other cryptocurrencies like Ergo and Ethereum Classic.
In our efforts to optimize space and become more energy efficient, we are decommissioning some of our older rigs and replacing them with more modern GPUs. While we may not make significant returns when selling the older GPUs, it’s important to remember that they were once the backbone of our mining efforts. By downsizing and becoming more efficient, we’re also able to focus on other areas of our mining operation.
As efficiently as we can, we will continue to monitor the progress of our crypto mining journey and evolve our strategy to remain as nimble and profitable as possible. As always, we appreciate your support and encourage any feedback or suggestions on how we can improve our mining operation.
Final Thoughts
Home crypto mining can be a rewarding and educational experience, but it’s essential to stay ahead of the curve and constantly evolve your approach to remain competitive in the ever-changing landscape of cryptocurrencies. Staying up to date with the latest in hardware, software, and mining techniques is crucial for success. Home crypto miners should also consider the environmental impact, including power consumption and cooling requirements, to ensure a sustainable and profitable operation.
By diligently monitoring and evolving your mining operation, and focusing on energy efficiency and profitability, it’s possible to enjoy the benefits of home crypto mining long into the future.

What work have you been getting done around your Home Crypto Mining Farm Recently? Anything to prepare for the Merge?
The main thing is that it did not affect the cryptocurrency Crypton, it is still growing up. I didn't invest in it for nothing.
What wallet do you use for ergo
Love this video style, id be curious on an update on the noise level now that you have your shed full vs when you did the testing with out any miners. Keep up the good work!
what is the Oc settings for BTG kin Hive Os . Kindly create a video
im really interest with your 12cm fan & fan from riserless mb rig for air flow management, where do you direct it ? into you exhaust ? or make it flow into the middle (front your door) ?
btw im also doing a vlog about home miner,but kinda hard here in indonesia for air flow management since here indonesia,the temp is not a friendly one xD
Ergo belong to top10
Thank you hobbiest .
To the moon . Happy Mining
How much would a shed like this run you?
I would have swapped the cases on the Asic for sure. I would be going crazy seeing the condition of the replacement. Thanks for the videos!
Let’s try not to make some S’mores with the new one
THM I truly like this style of video .. awesome content more please!
Great video again! The shed is filling up nicely!
Going to be weird not hearing the fans in the house anymore, it's like a white noise machine that makes you money, and alot of heat…lol
I will not sell when it is listed, I see 10 dollars at this rate, I bought it for 20 cents, I go through the money
They were going to sell Ieo time for 1 dollar, I already bought it for 60 cents
1 week left, tokens are about to run out
guys I just checked the team of this project and found out that people working in ethereum founded this company. what do you think
actually it really looks like a great project it has 50m cap
This is how I felt when I moved everything from the office to the basement. I almost forgot what it was like to have quiet while working. Love the farm updates
Day in life of a miner , nice video .
Hey mate I have a question, in terms of ROI or break even or whatever you want to call it, do you take into account any renovations required including ducting for air flow or ventilation for asics like the s19j pro etc? Or just the actual hardware that's mining. I'm in the middle of redesigning my setup in order to expand and my fsrm is 92% paid off but with the expansion (not including hardware) it's several thousand worth of work on electrics and renovations etc to do so. I'm just curious how you play this into it with your shed and all the requirements around that
Have you thought about "chumping" your gpu's in the octo cases? You save power and maintenance that way removing the fans .
2 gpus, one cup!
great set-ups and video. love the tech talk.
Built a Bitcoin node, not sure why but did it with parts I had on hand so no money out of pocket.
Nice bro! Steady mining! Hashing away!
Nice ergo!!
Happy to be today’s sponsor! Great video keep up the good work!!
0:51 Thought that was me for a second……
I managed to get the last few things needed to have my rigs maxed out and up and running, Still need to connect the last 2 cables and then hook up my usb wifi to run with hiveos and then just gotta get the funds together to get the cards to fill up and finish off my rigs. By the end I should have a 7 card rig and a 6 card rig as for what I will be mining, Well have a few things set up but will also see how market is and adjust if needed.
Hope everyone has a joyful start to next month and that the merge doesn't cause you any issues 👍👷♂⛏🪙
you know
i hate asics
they were a power grab by the wealthy, to retain money.
I remember the EQUALITY that came with BTC when it first launched.
kinda funny how after ASICS WERE DESIGNED
there was a SILICON SHORTAGE
and everyone blamed the miners, but it wasn't the people buying GPUS
it was the legions of paperweight asics that were being turded onto the market.
for 5 bucks before the "next big thing"
and the biggest waste of human resources i've ever seen.
they need to seperate ASICS and GPUs to different algorithms, as they are just a tool used to keep poor people poor, when GPU mining was inteded to allow the poor person a slice of bread.
