I did this and lost 40$ monthly, all RUclips fail to tell right off the bat that you will lose money. You're better off with An L3+ at 660W you'll actually make some $$ with it, unlike with an S9.
So weird question, I live somewhere with free electricity, you think solo mining would be worth it. My only limitation is that I cannot “alter” my unit but I have “unlimited access to all utilities”
I just clocked one of my old S9's at 300W to keep the living room a tad warmer. Quiet and working well. Hitting a block would be an unexpected surprise.
Thanks! I have an old S9 just collecting dust. I am going to try this for exactly that an lotto miner that don't break the bank running. Thanks again for the idea!
Yeah I got 2 S9’s & did the same thing a year ago, set 1 for solo & 1 for Braiins pool, I turn them on from time to time just to tinker around, going to grab a S19 when price is right 🦾🦾
i have the adapter for the 140MM Noctua fans on it and it runs almost silent . Even when i run it wide open 16TH fans 100% its still about as loud as a box fan on high
More of a 200$ miner factoring shipping, taxes. I'd grab one if I could find one, because this is right up my alley. I laughed because when I saw you put fresh fan guards on it and cleaned it well, then on to the firmware I was like yup that's me all day. First I bought the wrong Bitaxe (Supra I think, wanted the Gamma 601) and I am pissed about that. Don't have enough hardware, mom died a year to the day yesterday via stage 4 liver cancer, so now I take my power bills very seriously. No joke though, I was able to get energy assistance to cover like 3.5 months of my power. I just can't afford the miners, lmk if you can find this or something like this at cost somewhere. Thanks
@@TheHobbyistMiner you can either solder the new connectors onto your current board as it looks like it has space for more or pick up one that already has the connections for 6 hashboards i think the s17 control boards already have the connections but the 2 s9s combined uses less power than the 2 seperate
Instead of solo mining BTC, could I just not point this to 2miners or unmineable to mine alt coins ? Might not be super efficient but it could be bareable with tuning it with Brains..Maybe ?
Yeah I was thinking of mining SOL that way but have hearing that UnMinable has been stealing a little hashrate from users, I was thinking about doing a solar setup outside those S9’s are like tanks so shouldn’t be a problem in a shed or carport as long as it’s dry 🤷🏾
i picked up two s9 13th about 6 months ago, i could not figure out how to reset the hive os the previous owner had on them and gave up, do you have a solution to this?
There is a video on Braiins I believe on the website but should be one on RUclips, if I can remember I think you have to leave the sd card in when you flash it 🤔
Noob question. Is the hash rate different for solo than from pool mining on a an S9j? Getting ready to buy a used one, but the photos show that it hits the 14.5TH in Pool mining, while this video shows that it hits 3.3TH.
You can still put in orders with Canaan, but they are having trouble ramping up production. So there's an order backlog and that's why resellers don't have them yet.
I love Bitcoin! The OG Crypto! Started mining it with my gaming PC when I wasn't using it to game. Looking into buying a small lottery miner like this or the Canaan.
im running it on bitcoin cash in hopes that i have a better chance of hitting a block. will shall see. if i do ill come on with you to talk about it lol
@@TheHobbyistMiner Currently using brains OS. 265w was the lowest I could overclock I actually saw your L3 video awhile back and used the idea for a S9 works great!
Read the reviews on it and you will see people have been waiting since January and February orders yet and that's to this day yet. so you would be waiting for awhile
One thing to note as I found on my S17 PRO is with HIVEON you can disable 2 boards and significantly lower power consumption and run auto tune for max efficiency for solo mining Bitcoin
Update, my S17 Crapped out so I got my s19k pro running solo with 375 watts and S9 and T9 mining solo with 350 watts for both total 10TH/s out of all of them
Great video! Thanks! Can you do a video on the Iceriver KS1, KS2 and KS3 control boards they have for sale on their website? Can you build your own Kas ASIC miner from these? Would love to hear about this. 😀
I have three comps with 3090s in them that have been shut down since Eth POW stopped. Should I fire them up again to mine something, if so what do you recommend?
for the hash and power, this isn't good for those paying for power. The nano3 is around 100W, but its has a 65w power supply??? ( just going by what I read). I've solar, so running a L3+ with a hash board removed, which means the power is free and met by the solar (i have a big battery too). That loses money or rather it is not a good investment, as the power cost put else where represents better value! Im looking for seriously low power or a good (reasonable) return, and that's not easy to find.
@@TheHobbyistMiner There is no mentioning of Bitcoin Cash in the interview, and you were clearly talking about Bitcoin itself. But non the less good you pointed out in this video it's very hard/rare to hit a Bitcoin block and nice you hit a BTC Cash block anyway.
This thing sucks 1320w which is insanely high. For only 14th/s … much more efficient to get three nano 3 to get 12th and use 300w. Cost to run this is $350 per month in Australia!
I did this and lost 40$ monthly, all RUclips fail to tell right off the bat that you will lose money. You're better off with An L3+ at 660W you'll actually make some $$ with it, unlike with an S9.
Nope not with a L3+
@YourDailyDoseOfRandom still losing $0.80 with an L3+ vs not making anything at all is better.
@@Cadoo9262 still you have better chances by just mining normally in a pool.
I would run a miner to support the network…different perspectives that is and im not rich and would go with a old miner😂
So weird question, I live somewhere with free electricity, you think solo mining would be worth it. My only limitation is that I cannot “alter” my unit but I have “unlimited access to all utilities”
You can get 4Th at 290w just disable 2 hashboards in Brains and use only 1 hashboard you can tune it for 4Th and should get around 290w
Well the fact you like your S9 today., makes me feel a little better. Mine is an S9 SE. It almost feels like a collectors piece.
I just clocked one of my old S9's at 300W to keep the living room a tad warmer. Quiet and working well. Hitting a block would be an unexpected surprise.

have you ever switched out the control board and combined two s9s together and used the s10 firmware
I have not, sounds like fun!

I Love Bitcoin! Especially the newer low cost/low power miners!! Bitcoin is the Future of financial freedom!
Would you have a better shot at solo mining BCH ?
Did you ever hit a block on solo/lottery mining ?

Impossible to buy the canaan Avalon nano 3. Can’t find anywhere where it’s not sold out
I have heard that same response from many.
It's for sale on Indiegogo - same as originally.
You can still put in orders with Canaan, but they are having trouble ramping up production. So there's an order backlog and that's why resellers don't have them yet.

1st comment. :D...
Love the videos mate.
Thanks for the Support!
i think ill give it a shot, is the power supply 110 or 220?
120v up to 1600 watt
i still run 3 S9 miners. With Braiin,s OS
Way to go!
im running it on bitcoin cash in hopes that i have a better chance of hitting a block. will shall see. if i do ill come on with you to talk about it lol
I modded my S9 for solo bitcoin mining changed the stock fans out for noctua fans. Getting 3.4TH at 265W from the wall!
Smart Play! I did something similar with my L3 a while back! 265 is fantastic! Were you tuning for Hashrate?
@@TheHobbyistMinerwhat haste rate and wattage where you pulling with your l3 i got 2 just sitting waiting to become lucrative.
@@TheHobbyistMiner Currently using brains OS. 265w was the lowest I could overclock I actually saw your L3 video awhile back and used the idea for a S9 works great!
I Love Bitcoin! Internet money FTW!
If I win, reroll for the community...
Personally would rather have a Canaan Avalon nano 3 over running a S9. They can be loud and the nano 3 has way better efficiency (I think)
Read the reviews on it and you will see people have been waiting since January and February orders yet and that's to this day yet. so you would be waiting for awhile
They have been having production issues with certain "colors" i ordered 4 of the reg black ones so crossing fingers for june/july shipping
@@AtomicMining Yeah hope you get it that early but if people still from January and February still haven't got theirs there might be a little wait.

your fan speeds said zero at the 300w setting. did you set it there intentionally?
Yeah. Was because of the video, had it super low for a short period of time for the recording.

You never know!
Back in 2021 I believe someone hit 6.25 with a single solo s9

I love Bitcoin, because those who “Hold”, will be set!!!
Awesome. I have a question. Can this pool mine in nicehash or unmineable? Can it mine kaspa?
You could pool mine, yes. Can it mine Kaspa, No. But you could mine to Unmineable and get paid out in Kaspa.

you need to understand he undervolting that shit will cost like under a dollar a day
This thing sucks 1320w which is insanely high. For only 14th/s … much more efficient to get three nano 3 to get 12th and use 300w.
