Great video explaining the process flashing the cards, might upgrade my ssd to a 1tb also since the memory is getting up there

[@justh0dl]

thanks! been meaning to make this for a bit, your comment gave me the motivation. if you want to run the node unpruned you're def gonna have to upgrade the hard drive. chain is already bigger than the 500 GB, my node had stopped syncing cause of it so i had to upgrade it.

@@justh0dl I recently bought mine from ebay and I just looked, i already got the 1tb in there, all I did was change the wallet address and it started right up

[@justh0dl]

@@AtomicMining awesome, you might have a batch 4 or the previous owner upgraded it so you should be good for the next couple of years.

Great video, can you help me with a question?
I want to upgrade only the hard drive to 1 or 2th. Is it a plug and play update? Or do I have to update something else?
Thanks a lot for the help

[@justh0dl]

pretty sure you can use this exact same process and just use a 2 TB drive instead. should be plug and play.

Thanks

[@SuperSpaQueen]

Thanks for the update! Are you using any of your futurebits to solo mine or only the Gekko’s?

[@justh0dl]

I have em pointed at Kano's shared pool right now, hoping for a block 🙏

Would it be difficult to set up a solar system to run this miner 24/7?

[@justh0dl]

I think the hard part is setting up the solar system. This set up only takes like ~200W which afaik is not that much.
