I ran into this after changing pool settings and thought the machine was the problem. In my case the miner was fine, but the network path was unstable and the shares started coming through only after ...

I think the key here is testing one change at a time instead of changing everything at once.

I had a similar situation on a smaller setup and the lesson for me was not to assume profitability or stability from one short test window. Watching behavior over a longer period gave me a more realis...

My experience has been that many mining problems are not one big failure but several small issues at once. A setup can look almost correct while still underperforming because of heat, weak airflow, ba...

I like this topic because it gets closer to how mining actually works in the real world. A lot of people read generic advice and assume the answer is always hardware or always pool-side, but in practi...

I agree with the general advice here, but I would also check the wallet address, worker naming, and temperature at the same time. A lot of people focus only on the connection and miss something obviou...

What helped me most was writing down the exact symptoms before changing anything. Once I compared the dashboard, local logs, and power behavior together, the real cause became much easier to spot.

Same issue here. The miner looked connected, but it turned out the worker format was wrong.

This is more common than people think, especially with new firmware or rushed setup changes.
