If you have a firewall then you should be able to set up a VPN. Once that's done you connect to the VPN from your phone, laptop, desktop, etc and **then** connect to the miners.

I hope the Canaan folks are still reading this thread because I want to reiterate what the others have said. This genuine concern for the customer is almost non-existent in *any* industry, not just miners. This cements my decision to buy Avalons the next time I am ready to purchase!

I'd grab a digital voltmeter and test the PSU while your at it. I'll see if I can find the posts (search for PSU test), but it would be a good thing to do to rule out bad PSU or wiring.

I'd plug my laptop in to the same switch the miner is plugged in to, grab a wired IP and go from there. I know you've talked about IPs, but did you by chance have it bookmarked by name? I'd kill the bookmark and for good measure do an ipconfig /flushdns from an admin command prompt.

Not sure where you are, but in my area I user powertochoose.org

Interesting, same default gateway? I assume so, but ya never know.

Wireless vs. wired?

Also make a note of what the miner's IP is and what your computer's IP is. What IP did your friend get?

Pretty sure that's your problem even if it's not you *need* to run it on 220v. That PSU isn't working correctly on 110v. That miner runs at 1432 watts, and that PSU can only put out around 1200 watts on 110.

The APW3++ can deliver a maximum power of only 1200W if it is connected to a 110V mains power supply. To obtain the rated power of 1600W, the APW3++ must be connected to a 220-240V mains power supply.

Are you running it on 110v or 220v?

I do not have an operation anywhere near what you have. But I have put all my mining hardware purchases on hold because I feel the ASIC manufacturers are taking their time in reducing the costs. To me the prices will need to come down considerably to make me want to buy. I also feel (and this is nothing more than that, a feeling) that there's new hardware/software coming from Bitmain on the BTC front.

Personally I feel like it might be a better time to watch alts and either speculate or mine them then sell in to BTC rather than buy new BTC mining gear.

100% opinion

Ahhhhh yeah, that makes sense.

Have you tried a different pool? Or different address for your existing pool? It really sounds like you're losing the network connection to the pool you have in there now. Is your internet connection metered?

Also, the web interface has some simple network diagnostics, you might try to run those the next time the miners stop hashing.

Are the miners DHCP or static?

As mentioned that 100A breaker is most likely a sub-panel or possibly the main breaker for your panel. Maybe you are in a very small house or apartment? Anyway, there should be other breakers, these are the smaller ones running to your outlets and appliances. So you need to know *exactly* what the outlet is rated at that you will plug the miner in to, you do that by finding the breaker for that outlet.

There's no fuses to worry about, you need to just use the correct gauge (size) wire and ends that match the wall plug and power supply. I would use a power cord that physically plugs in to your outlet, once you find that outlet's amperage. Luckily they are very common, just make sure the cord is rated for 10A or so.

As far as how many to run off certain size circuits, I think you should consult your electrician on how, exactly the best way to wire up your environment.You can tell him the miner uses roughly 7 amps. But this isn't something you can string off of a bunch of extension cords. So depending on how many circuits you have available, you can plan with your electrician the best way to wire. Let's say you only have one 30A circuit, then your best bet would be a PDU (power distribution unit) and you can safely run about 3 S9s off that on a 30A circuit.

Search around on this forum, pretty much everything you need has been posted, and recently too as there's a TON of new folks buying miners and asking questions.

Mine 5 ASICs have been singing along for weeks and I have done nothing. I use Awesomeminer to monitor mine, I imagine several months down the road I might blow some air through them, but as far as daily work? Nothing, they do better when left alone.

I would imagine most electricians do not know anything about Bitcoin. **But** as far as identifying breakers and the load an outlet could take they would be your best bet, I advise this as you seem very new and I would not want you to have any sort of electrical issue that at the least damages your mining equipment or at the worst hurts or kills someone.

To be clear you can continuously use 80% of that 30A circuit safely. The miners pull over 6A so you'll be cutting it close, personally I'd run 3 per 30A.

If you do a search for PDU you'll find plenty of threads.

No to extension cords. I think you should find an electrician before you proceed, this stuff isn't the same as plugging in a TV or computer. Also, be prepared for the noise and heat...

I do not see an answer from you, are you running 110 or 220 voltage?

One wrinkle in the PoS movement, regulation. There's already speculation that PoS coins could be considered a security due to paying "dividends". Obviously this is all conjecture, but it *could* affect PoS as an alternative to PoW.
