Cryptocurrency mining hardware no longer needs an introduction, with miners working in pools and consuming a lot of energy. Solo mining, on the other hand, is less well known. It involves mining bitcoin without a pool, alone, with slim chances of catching a block, but when a block is caught, the reward brings in 6.25 BTC. The low hashing capabilities mean that energy consumption is very low. This practice of mini solo mining should primarily be seen as an experimentation for enthusiasts.

One of the most popular products for solo mining is the NerdMiner V2 from @Bitmaker_ where a simple ESP32-S3 allows you to get started with solo mining techniques.

@sulfuroid has struck again and is offering a new electronic product: RACK 1U – Nerdminer. It is a 19'' server facade to simultaneously exploit 5 mini NerdMiners T-DISPLAY-S3 and neatly arrange them in a 19'' server cabinet.

RACK 1U Nerdminer, as its name suggests, takes a standardized height of 1U. The product comes with a 5V terminal block connector which allows powering the 5 ESP32s simultaneously. Optionally (sockets not supplied), the PCB board accepts other 5V power modes such as a USB-C socket or an easy-to-solder DC connector.

The T-DISPLAY S3s can be soldered directly onto the board. It is also possible to insert 2.54mm pin headers to make the T-DISPLAY S3 removable. The product has drilling holes for easily fixing the board in a rack cabinet using standard screws.

The delivered product includes

• • The 19'' 1U board
• • The 2 handles to be fixed with 3mm screws
• • The soldered red 5v terminal block connector
• Not included: the 5 ESP32 T-DISPLAY S3 cards to be ordered from AliExpress."
