Title: URGENT ADVICE NEEDED - MINING ANTMINER NEW SEA SHORE Post by: skhan855 on June 01, 2018, 01:05:37 PM Hi
I am moving my house near sea shore. Is it safe to mine there? Its just 3 Kilometers (1.86 Miles) away from sea. Everything get rust very fast there. Is it ok, or find alternates like remote mining? Please reply soonest, I need to pack fast.

However, I think S9s are protected against corrosion, as the only rusty parts on my miners are the grates for the fans.
I think you will be ok Title: Re: URGENT ADVICE NEEDED - MINING ANTMINER NEW SEA SHORE Post by: tim-bc on June 02, 2018, 02:32:56 PM I would definitely not recommend. The miners I work on are all only 5-10km from shore and the rust seems to affect everything. Quickly I noticed the fan grates only rusting, but then even the fans themselves and then the hashboards start to rust dead as well :'(

It will keep some moisture out a dehumidifier would be good if it is a very small mine but you just got to keep up with maintenance and check the psu cables on the miner and psu for bad corrosion as they will short and or burn

Has anyone had failure due to keeping a miner outside in an area with heavy humidity? I.e. heavy humidity such as tropics, or FL?
It's getting to the point where any hardware older than a year may need to be dumped and new ASIC's bought as the specs just get better and you save on electric? Unless you have Solar? Right? So… If it takes a year, does it matter? My guess is in heavy humidity with salt air it can corrode in a few months? But in non-salt it should last longer and at least a year, but I really do not know. Looking at the internals…. Excluding the fan coolers etc. you do have boards which should not last in humidity right? I run mine now in HVAC controlled environment, but I have thought about running mine outside (controlled and covered) a few hundred miles off the shore line in PA that has humidity, but no salt air. Just thought it was worth the discussion? |
