7 months of continuous run time, even with a furnace-style filter in line. I'll probably start removing the fans & checking the boards every 90 days.
Decided to add a second ASIC using the existing infrastructure from the first install. Kept the enclosure pretty simple this time.

"Taint" is a non-quantifiable, opaque scare tactic used by rent-seeking chainanalysis companies to manufacture crises so they can sell their solutions for problems nobody has.
The existence of a traceable history for each UTXO does not mean it's non-fungible. This is where common sense accounting practices are conflated with fungibility.
