My Current Mining Strategy Breakdown: Hydro, S21s, L9s & DG1+ Fleet Management for the Next Bitcoin Cycle

In this episode of The Everyday Miner Podcast, we're pulling back the curtain on a full breakdown of the current mining strategy — where the fleet stands today, where it's headed, and why hydro cooling is quickly becoming a non-negotiable part of serious Bitcoin mining operations.
We kick things off with a recap of a recent trip to Arkansas to deploy a new hydro rack, walking through the logistics of getting hydro units online and what it actually takes to scale a hosting setup the right way. From there, the conversation shifts to the older units rotating back in from hosting facilities — and the tough calls that come with deciding which hardware still earns its keep and which needs to be sold off.
Hardware efficiency has moved fast, and this episode digs into just how much things have changed across both BTC and script mining fleets — from S21s and hydro units to L9s and the DG1+, along with the profitability math behind the buy-and-sell decisions being made right now. We also talk fleet management, hardware arbitrage strategy, and how to think about positioning ahead of the next market cycle.
Whether you're running a single rig at home or managing a growing hosted fleet, this episode is packed with real, in-the-trenches insight on how hardware decisions get made when efficiency, hosting costs, and market timing all collide.

Decommissioning L7s, Deep Networks Gets Acquired & Home Mining Options for 2026 ft. CryptoJar

After a brutal heatwave shut the mining farm down for nearly a week, The Everyday Miner is back online — and so is the conversation. In this episode, host Warrior catches up on the chaos of a 100°F+ heat streak followed by 70mph storms, then dives straight into the tough calls every home miner eventually faces: what do you do with hardware that's no longer profitable?
Warrior walks through the decision to decommission a stack of Antminer L7s, the reality of third-party firmware like Vnish for squeezing out extra efficiency, and the temptation (and risk) of shipping old ASICs overseas to chase cheaper electricity. Then CryptoJar joins the show for an open, no-BS conversation about where home mining actually stands right now — Bitcoin, script mining, DePIN, and everything in between.
If you've ever wondered whether it's still worth getting into home mining in 2026, or you're sitting on a shelf of paperweight ASICs wondering what went wrong, this is the episode for you.

DePIN Mining in 2026: Biggest Wins, Brutal Failures, and the Projects Worth Watching with CryptoJar

The DePIN mining space has never moved faster — and it's never been harder to separate the real opportunities from the noise. In this episode of The Everyday Miner, we sit down with fellow content creator CryptoJar for an unfiltered, experience-driven breakdown of where DePIN mining actually stands in 2026.
We kick things off with the wins — the projects that delivered on their promises, the networks that proved their value beyond the hype, and the DePIN plays that have actually put money in miners' pockets so far this year. But we don't stop at the highlight reel. We get brutally honest about the failures: the rug pulls, the disappointing mainnet launches, and the projects that left home miners burned, frustrated, and questioning whether the space is worth the risk.
From there, we shift our focus forward. We highlight the DePIN projects we're watching most closely heading deeper into 2026 — the ones showing the strongest signals for profitability, long-term sustainability, and real-world utility. If you're a home miner trying to decide where to point your hardware and your attention, this conversation gives you the grounded, no-fluff perspective you need to make smarter decisions.

He Solo Mined a Bitcoin Block and Won 3.125 BTC — Here's Exactly How It Happened

What does it actually look like when a home miner beats the odds and hits a solo Bitcoin block? In this episode of The Everyday Miner, we sit down with a fellow hobbyist miner who did exactly that — walking away with 3.125 BTC worth roughly $250,000 at the time of the find. This isn't speculation or theory. This is the full story, straight from the miner who lived it.
We break down every detail of this incredible solo mining win, including how much hashrate he was running when the block hit, how long he had been mining before his number finally came up, and which solo mining pool made it all possible. He pulls back the curtain on the exact payout amount that landed in his wallet after pool fees, what caught him completely off guard about the process, and what his plans are for the Bitcoin now that it's officially in his hands.
Whether you're running a single ASIC in your garage or scaling up a small home mining farm, this episode is a reminder that solo mining isn't just a pipe dream — it happens, and it happened to one of us. If you've ever stared at your hashrate dashboard and wondered "what if," this conversation will fuel that fire.

Home Bitcoin Mining in 2026: Solo Mining Odds, ASIC Realities & What It Actually Takes

Is home Bitcoin mining still worth it in 2026? In this episode of The Everyday Miner, we cut through the hype and get straight to the point about what running ASICs at home actually looks like today — and whether solo mining a block from your own house is a realistic goal or a long shot most miners aren't prepared for.
We break down why so many miners are moving their heavy hardware to hosting facilities, what that shift means for home miners who want to keep Bitcoin mining under their own roof, and how to set the right expectations before you plug in that first ASIC.
The heart of this episode is a deep dive into home solo Bitcoin mining — your real statistical odds of hitting a block, what kind of hashrate it actually takes to make solo mining viable, and the honest truth about what this journey looks like for the everyday hobbyist miner.
If you want a grounded, Bitcoin-focused conversation about the future of mining at home in 2026, this episode delivers exactly that — no fluff, no hype, just the realities every home miner needs to hear.
