1. A cryptocurrency miner, comprising:
a control power supply that supplies first power;
a compute power supply that supplies second power;
a compute module comprising control circuitry powered based on the first power supplied by the control power supply and a compute engine powered based on the second power supplied by the compute power supply; and
a controller coupled to the control power supply and the compute power supply, wherein the controller is configured to:
cause the control power supply to apply the first power to the control circuitry and invoke initialization of the control circuitry; and
cause the compute power supply to apply the second power to the compute engine after initialization of the control circuitry.
