normal' and 2950 watts = fail 'normal' and 2900 watts = fail
Where does it fail when you set these numbers? Also, looking at the tank you posted it says 12kw cooling capacity, no mention of the 6kw, which means it can safely run two MicroBT even overclocked, unless I am missing something. you are correct misread it.

well 2 new m30s+ due in about 2 hours time. brings us from 1.5 to 1.7ph and .8ph = 2.5 ph ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) What's your reason for going with the 30s? The 50s are better J/TH and $/TH and total TH Well I don't know the quality of the liquid cooler. 2x 30s+ cost me 3200 2x 50 would be 5400 SO if the cooler sucks I save 1800 maybe 2000 buying the 30s+. which is the cooler cost. If the cooler is good we will likely get 10 more and use m50's in them If the cooler sucks we will likely go back to s19j pro gear. m30s+ = Investing 3200 + 2000 = 5200 plus import taxes . m50 = Investing 5400 + 2000 = 7400 plus import taxes. going all s19j pro I can pay 1776 for 1 includes all so 4 x 1776 = 7104 for all truly cheaper but my cooling issues won't let me max with air cooled gear. we have 1.7+ .8 = 2.5 ph for btc we have power for 25 3 kwatt units we don't have cooling Also I know 'buysolar' can use this cooler in his home he has a 115kwatt solar array so this will work in his house if it is not good for the farm. So bad cooler means s19j air cooled good cooler means m50's and maybe 6-10 coolers @ mikeywith yeah there is a bit of gear fomo 100th miners were selling at 15k they are now under 2k A lot of people like me with good cheap power but other issues (cooling) are buying.

Okay this below is 'normal' with a 3050 watt cap
Yes, you want to keep the power mode on normal when setting a power limit on the miner, it's almost impossible to bring the miner to an exact figure, so your 3050w limit will usually be slightly less, a few watts here and there, also, the power consumption on the tool isn't 100% accurate, so make sure you use a wattmeter to get the exact correct number. I would also look for a different tank, 6kw is too much for Antminer and a bit on the low side for 2*Whatsminer, but at the end of the day, the lower you go on these Whatsminer the more efficiency you gain overall. Also if the project kicks in and you want to sell the package as a 200th miner you would want to get the M50, they range between 25w/th to 28w/th, the lower the more expensive of course. The M50s 110th 28W would be a good pick, it should do 110th at 3080w default, so if you want it to stay at 2900w (to not go above 5800w for the tank) it will do 103th or a total of 206th for the tank. Meanwhile, keep in mind that you will remove fans in the tank, the reading on the wattmeter will take the fan readings too, the fans in the pics you posted are running close to full, they consume about 85w each at full speed (7k rpm), so the reading on Whatsminer tool will be a lot more accurate when the miners run in the tank. I don't mind if I am short of 200th and end up selling a 180th machine burning 5800 watts. The key with the unit I am using is it is a 2 whatminers piece. The cooler has the ability to heat in the winter and warm a pool in the summer. My partner "buysolar" has been doing solar setups in New Jersey for 20 years. We may work the angle a few ways. Also we may do a single whatsminer m50s+ overclocked if they supply a proper psu to do that. https://www.whatsminer.com/src/views/product_details?id=15&name=WhatsMiner%20M50S+ what matters down the road is how good the cooler is. It could be a bust. which is why we got the m30s+ to test it just in case we don't like it. what I have found interesting is: 'normal' and 3100 watts = good 'normal' and 3050 watts = good 'normal' and 3025 watts = testing now>>>> edit : now doing: unit 1 >> 92.509 th 32.56 watts a th and 3011 total watts unit 2 >> 92.490 th 32.62 watts a th and 3017 total watts'normal' and 2950 watts = fail 'normal' and 2900 watts = fail this is not to complain but may mean the cooler will struggle with 2 m30+ on normal and 6100 watts. Typical designed just a bit wrong and yet they push 2 whatsminers as a fit with the cooler. Likely need a quart more liquid and a little bit bigger radiator to be perfect now on low setting I did 88 and 2875 watts which is 32.67 and 2 of them would be about 5750 watts. so low setting may be needed for the coolers. I will post back to see if I can play with settings a bit more. Maybe with a day of burn in I can set lower than 3025 watts on normal.

Okay this below is 'normal' with a 3050 watt cap total of 6100 watts which would be too much for the cooler if it can do 6000 advertised number. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FZ1n9rUW.png&t=664&c=njbP_nXHQF-8Fg)

...unlike other U.S. asset classes, Bitcoin is orthogonal to monetary and macroeconomic news. This disconnect is puzzling as unexpected changes in discount rates should, in principle, affect the price of Bitcoin even when interpreting Bitcoin as a purely speculative asset.
New York Fed - The Bitcoin–Macro Disconnecthttps://www.newyorkfed.org/medialibrary/media/research/staff_reports/sr1052.pdf"6 Conclusions Is macroeconomic news driving Bitcoin? In this paper, we conduct a systematic analysis of the impact of macroeconomic and monetary policy news on Bitcoin’s price. We model Bitcoin as an asset with no intrinsic value for which its current price depends on the discounted value of its future price. In our empirical analysis, we find that Bitcoin is unresponsive to both monetary and macroeconomic news. In particular, the result that Bitcoin does not react to monetary news is puzzling as it casts some doubts on the role of discount rates in pricing Bitcoin. Given the short sample used in the analysis, however, more evidence is needed to assess the disconnect between Bitcoin and macroeconomic fundamentals." duh they still do not understand the why of it. please note my quote is from the fed article. Yep.. that's a good point Philip. They consider bitcoin as uncorrelated, which is probably a correct conclusion; however, they arrive at such "uncorrelated" conclusion based on the wrong reasons, and they are trying to argue (desperate or what?) the same bullshit that fails to appreciate any kind of value/utility in bitcoin beyond speculation, and such bold face lies are not going to be very convincing for anyone who even spends 20-100 hours really studying bitcoin. .and then realize that even if we might not agree upon the extent to which bitcoin is useful or that it has utility, anyone who is assigning "zero" utility of it is engaging in bold face lying or they are delusional. Just the mere ability to send value without an intermediary is valuable as fuck, even if there might be some obstacles and some volatility.. or even loss of value within the range of bitcoin's ongoing price dynamics possibilities.... and yeah, sure there could be ways to remove or lessen BTC's liquidity through various attacks and freezing of avenues, but then where the fuck is bitcoin going to go? more and more underground.. so not sure what that accomplishes beyond just making the war (battle) more obvious. We used a combination of BTC mining and New Jersey solar power incentives to build a 45kwatt solar array a 115kwatt solar array and a 280kwatt solar arrary. These small commercial projects are scalable to 2megawatts in NJ. You need a proper site and an investor willing to create the array mean we can have a lot more setups done like this.

If I tell you that bitcoin will be worthless because all governments are going to ban it tomorrow and I link to a shitty website as the source I could persuade people to panic sell and then lose out on money. This does not benefit me except for pushing the price down if there is a enough people panic selling but by spreading FUD I have caused many people who panic to sell their btc at a loss. How is that not unethical?
that is not uncertain that is a lie. 1) crypto/btc is not going to be worldwide banned tomorrow. but if you said that 2) all the governments of the world have the ability to declare crypto/btc illegal over the next 2 years that is uncertain. so 1 is not okay to say 2 is okay to say. part of life is constant uncertain shit happens day after day. it is okay to talk about it. The other day I read the earths core stopped spinning then reversed its spin. https://www.cnn.com/2023/01/25/world/earth-core-turning-scli-scn-intl/index.htmlA) I never heard about this B) seems interesting C) I have zero idea if it is a bad thing for us as humans. D) if I say it means we humans will all die as this means the second coming of christ and the end of times. I would be lying as I have zero idea if that is true. E) if I say it scares me and I hope that it won't speed up Greenland from melting So I am selling my beach house moving to the mountains. I am spreading an uncertain set of issues that I have about the earths core. F) the reality for me Is I don't care as either way I will be dead in 50 years or less (I am 66 right now) It is a fine line between lying and uncertain shit and how you say it.

First one is powered up on normal. 96 th as you can see the middle board is a bit low. but not running for a long time. I will give it a 3 hour run on normal then test low and high speeds. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FaUrJOCm.png&t=664&c=Dfc5XUXXN16taA) My thanks to mikeywith for helping me to get this Glad they arrived, you can not test the high with air cooling, low will work fine and cool, also you can download whatsminer tools and set power limit for each miner, like 3000w it runs a lot cooler with reduced hashrate. I will likely set them to 2800 watts as the cooler is supposed to do 6000 watts max. update. I set to normal speed and used the whatsminer's tool to lower watts to 3100 or less. results below: ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2Fs6hXETb.png&t=664&c=G-1d2IYx82r6og) So I save 300 watts and drop from 96.0 to 93.8. 2 at this setting would likely be to hot for the cooler. but I do know that setting on low does 88.1 and 2850 watts which would be good for the cooler as 2x2850 = 5700 which is under the coolers 6000 watt spec.

2mw x .8 = 1.6 megawatts
Why did you multiple 2MW with 0.8? Does 0.8x used to consider PSU efficiency? 24/7/365 power use means you have to derate the power by a factor of .8 this is to prevent wires from melting. So if he has 2000 kwatts or 2 megawatts in transformer rating x 80% gives the proper safety factor of 1600 kwatts or 1.6 mw so 1600/3 = 533 s19 units doing 3 kwatts each. As for proper staffing a lot depends on the op and his or her knowledge of mining. 500 units can be done on 2 routers each with 1 pc and 250 miners. this means 2 internet lines. which is a decent idea for redundancy. 500 x 100 = 50ph hash or 50000th hash 50000 x .071= 3550 usd a day. as for fear of viabtc and referral misuse, here is my viabtc referral https://www.viabtc.com/signup?refer=680499simply join viabtc with that referral and I get a piece of the fees viabtc is collecting. you the miner do not pay extra. so obviously this means by working with 1 outsider you have a record of your miners since the outsider gets the hash rate number and th referral fee. so at no cost to you you get a free check on your hashrate by some one you trust. it does not have to be my referral . So if he opens an account with 250 miners. doing 25ph from 1 router he can glance at his viabtc stats on his account and he can check with the person that has his referral to see if it matches. To be honest. this gear needs very little hands on work. depending on filters and your dirty air or clean air. Maybe a 60 to 120 day clean out schedule . 500 machines at 10 minutes a machine is 5000 minutes of work. that is 80-90 hours every 2-4 months. 10 minutes to check that gear is running say 4 times a day. is 40 minutes a day. 1200 minutes = 20 hours then trouble shooting the bad gear. maybe 1 day a month = 8 so 100 hours a month of work is about right. Of course access to a good repair guy = needed fuzzy beat me to it as I wanted to address the fraud issue.

well 2 new m30s+ due in about 2 hours time. brings us from 1.5 to 1.7ph and .8ph = 2.5 ph ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) and as if on cue the gear comes in and price drops with difficulty getting a bit worse. we were 41 block down and we are now 30 blocks down https://www.bitrawr.com/difficulty-estimatorLatest Block: 775883 (14 minutes ago) Current Pace: 98.2790% (1740 / 1770.47 expected, 30.47 behind) Previous Difficulty: 37590453655497.09 Current Difficulty: 39350942467772.63 Next Difficulty: between 38675393079141 and 38687841480298 Next Difficulty Change: between -1.7167% and -1.6851% Previous Retarget: January 29, 2023 at 1:09 AM (+4.6833%) Next Retarget (earliest): Sunday at 6:56 AM (in 1d 22h 41m 42s) Next Retarget (latest): Sunday at 7:02 AM (in 1d 22h 48m 19s) Projected Epoch Length: between 14d 5h 46m 24s and 14d 5h 53m 1s Copy stats to clipboard we were at block 1488 and now are at block 1740 we were down 40 blocks and are now down 30 blocks so 1740-1488 = 252 made we gained 10 blocks so 252/242 = 1.0413 a 4.1% gain for about the last 2 days I often wonder how much is off line that could come back if we jump to 50k. for instance If it is cold and I fire everything we have I could go from 1.7 ph to 1.9ph that 200 th is shit gear with bad power stats. I have been pulling it offline and putting in s19 and m30s+ I have some m10's an Avalon a1047 some s9's. So I wonder just how many people have older shitty gear on the sidelines along with people have new s19's idle So diff is - 1.76% and price is 21.7k We could go to -1% or maybe -3% who knows.

"Can I take a loan to invest in bitcoin" this question was asked by a friend
My reply to her is this: It is generally not advisable to take out a loan to purchase Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency. Cryptocurrency markets are highly volatile and the value of a particular coin can fluctuate greatly in a short period of time. This means that the value of the coin you purchase with a loan could drop, making it difficult to repay the loan. It is important to do your own research and make sure you understand the risks before investing in any financial product, including Bitcoin.
What is your advice?
yes you can take a loan to invest in anything you want. proper question is should you thank a loan. the correct answer to that is each and every person has different circumstances and knowledge. for some the answer is yes for some the answer is no for some the answer is maybe. I took a 12000 cc loan in sept of 2022 I took a 3200 cc loan in dec of 2023. the 12000 loan is paid . I made 740 usd on the loan instantly and now get 3 usd a day . But most no one in the world has the circumstances I had to do that loan. the 3200 loan is down to 1700. I made 264 instantly and it earns me 6 a day. I have until feb 2024 to pay this loan. both loans are interest free. The investment was in btc mining gear. but for this to work you need really good credit. you need a cc offer for a new card say it give 1 year to 15 months no interest. and it gives a bonus of 200 or maybe 500 bucks with a large buy. also you can not do it often maybe one ot two loans a year.
