any ideas where to fix some S17 in central europe?

is whatsminer shipping now? always when i check their shop everything is 'sold out'

so i've got two  10% coupons, each one of $ 689 value. what do i do with it? i don't need more machines atm. can i sell the coupons? anybody interested?

wouldn't just cutting the power supply damage the hardware in the long run?

do recent asics even have the ability of a software shutdown and remote reboot?

thx for your input. doing it via pdus would definitely be possible and easy to implement.


yes, the miners need to halt immediately if power generation is lower than what they demand, otherwhise they plant will draw energy from the grid at market price.

we do have analog signals, which could be used to operate PDUs in case the plant shuts down (due to emergency or maintainance for example). that would be easy. it should also be possible to get digital data from the control unit about the amount of power generated, which could be used for doing software controlled action.

First post, so: Hi everybody!

I'm about to start mining in our small hydro power plant.

I was wondering if anybody is doing automatic mining mode switching, dependent on the amount of power a generator is producing at a given moment.

For example:

if plant output is greater than 20KW -> mine using turbo mode
if plant output falls below 20KW -> start switching miners into economic mode - one by one
if plant output falls below lower treshold -> start turning mininers off completely

that should happen automatically to avoid the situation that the plant starts drawing power from the grid instead of feeding it.

as this is going to be a rather small farm i've got a feeling it doesn't make sense to put a lot of effort into developing our own automation setup, that's why i'm hoping to maybe hear from other hydro operators how they are solving this issue.

curious to hear your thoughts. thx!
