Tried this Qubic thing on one of my L3s… here’s the 4-day update

So, following up on my last post about my L3+ units basically being space heaters that eat my paycheck… someone actually reached out about something called Qubic.

I’ll be honest, it sounded a bit sketchy at first, but since I was already losing about 50 cents a day per machine on standard pools, I figured I’d use one of them as a guinea pig. If it fried the board, at least I’d have one less bill to pay, right?

I’ve been running it for about 4 days now. Here’s the breakdown so far:

-Hardware: Running stable. Temps are exactly where they were on Scrypt (about 58-62C).

-Power: No noticeable spike in draw at the wall.

-The "Catch": It’s a bit different because of how they handle the rewards, but so far… it hasn't bricked anything.

As for the rewards, it’s honestly hard to say for sure yet. Doge has been jumping around so much this week that comparing daily yields is a headache. It feels maybe slightly better? Or at least, it’s not performing worse than the big pools I was using before.

I’m still not 100% sold on it, but for an old machine that was headed for the scrap heap, it’s keeping the lights on for now.

Has anyone else here actually messed with this? Or am I the only one crazy enough to point an old ASIC at a new project? Would love to know if anyone has long-term data on this before I switch my other two units over.
