1  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: 2 miners turned down to 50% of its default power consumption do better than 1? on: October 23, 2022, 10:01:22 PM
thank you for the reply! that was more than I was expecting I am grateful!
im putting use to some old S9s and just playing around. it dries clothes great.. lol door closed it vents outside, door open its a great heater, door closed and "running it dries close "almost just as fast" ITS CLOSE. it pulls the heat from the miner with its "normal" exhaust and I the miner has enough pressure to just vent outside when the door is closed and the miner is on "like after the cycle ends..
2  Bitcoin / Hardware / 2 miners turned down to 50% of its default power consumption do better than 1? on: October 23, 2022, 03:27:58 PM
I have a handful of S9 miners and have installed Braiins" on them an have been playing with some settings and I have found that running them at 50-60% and playing with the HZ of the hash boards and voltage.. that I seem to be doing better than running one "overclocked" im sure there are plenty of things involved with the HZ and voltage settings I don't know does anyone have anything to add to this? and "yea having 2 miners to just get ones output is "BACWARDS" but for a non profitable cheap miner anything helps. thanks all!

yes. I am just trying to make the panels give 12v or nothing.. and possibly need a battery bank just for the "steadiness" I don't know all the tech terms but.. a device that will wait until it has enough power (12v) before it "lets the power thru" and have a low voltage "kill switch" I'm not trying to run them all night just when the sun is "bright enough" like it might turn off before sunset.. or a stormy day it would never even get triggered to "go" sorry I don't know the technical words to get out my idea?? but all this is helping thank you!!

wow that what was I was looking for! thank you!  so I'm thinking of  maybe having a small battery bank just to keep the power steady "as possible during the day.. then just have a 12v timer to shut it down at sunset or near. what "device does that a "12v "speed controller" like for a motor? am I on the right track? thanks again for your reply I'm going to look into that firmware for solar! that is beautiful!

ok ok.. yea nobody is selling me anything.. i was just thinking "what if?" I was given a burned up S9 and the computer and only one hashboard worked. and I noticed the power supply wouldn't even break a sweat so I unplugged the two bad boards and it still does fine. I am going to see if its just the one port for a hashboard working on the computer?? Im not sure if they all will run like that. thanks for the reply!

thanks for the reply. here we GO! I'm trying it. I did plan on using the aw3p or "something similar" to power the computer.. just thinking most solar setups are going for AC power.. when they already put out DC power and possibly "bypass" the inverter. so if there is a charge controller that is stable enough and can handle enough amps I should be good if the panels are producing enough amps. "in thinking.. I planned on powering the computer with 110v ac.  if that changes the game? 
7  Bitcoin / Hardware / Bypassing S9 power supply on: September 18, 2022, 05:34:45 AM
hello all,
   has anyone heard of bypassing the power supply and just using DC power to run a miner?
  we are able to adjust the wattage the S9s can run on.. if we turned an S9 down and had a few hundred watts of solar panels " without a battery bank" would they fire up when the sun was giving them enough watts?? I know there is a lot more involved with making the power "steady" but I am just wondering if I could spark some guy who know a little more about this than I thanks ALL..
