- Bitcoin mining history and vintage hardware enthusiasts
- Worth noticing
- The project says each machine is cleaned, fitted with fresh thermal paste and pads, and repaired where needed before it returns to mining.
Field notes
The project describes its setup as home solo mining through an Umbrel node, with no shared pool fees. Its dashboard is intended to expose machine readings alongside network difficulty and the odds of finding a block, while the page says donations cover electricity. The camera and cgminer panels show waiting states in the supplied snapshot, so those live elements cannot be confirmed here.
