Cheers for that Biffa, I actually bought from someone that accepted PayPal. So some protection there. It was also paid by card so a little more protection if they are faulty.
I don't think this guy will do a refund. The list he gave me is what he has. Unfortunately at the moment the shipping is taking up around 300 USD for 3 units. I was thinking of asking him to send 2 X innosilicon in place of the 3 X love core. Or maybe 1 innosilicon and antminer se What's members thoughts on this ?
I don't know anything about bitcoin prices history only that is was all the rage at one point. I have a feeling due to the current situation regarding all major governments having to pump money into their countries that this money will have to be clawed back over time. The fat cats will have to hide their money but a major problem exits this time. There is nowhere to run most countries in the world are in the same boat. So I can see investors in crypto rising over the next few years as counties introduce the covid 19 levy.
Thanks for that. Maybe its not so bad as it turns out the units are not actually shipped yet. I would love to have some input on the following models that are available in my budget.
Yes exactly that. Not an investment its a learning curve. Who knows, I might enjoy doing it and decided to invest in proper efficient miners in the future. For now with these it is a lesson. Whatever I learn may benefit me and at least give me some knowledge of crypto coins.
Thanks for your input. Fairly similar power setup if I upgrade main breaker. I would be looking at a similar setup as your shed but only 3 miners in mine be it they take 6600 together. I am based in Europe. What I compare these to when looking at power is electric showers. any decent 1 here uses 10.5kw and allowed a max on 2 on my system at any one time. They have to have a dedicated breaker each.
Yea I have noticed about the miners . Yea decent main wire rain from house to shed but May upgrade the socket wire. I will post pics of the fire ..... lol
I am located in a 240v area so no converters or anything on that side of things. I already have power running into the shed on its own breaker box. Nothing much runs off it at the moment only lights. Have a few sockets that are not used. I will get some Pics up of existing set up and see what you think.
My Thoughts before I came on here was to replace the main breaker to 40amp. Then put another 2 sockets in on an additional 30amp breaker. The sockets already there could run 1 machine 2200 watts. Then the new breaker could run the other 2 machines 4400 ?
Thanks for answer. I am doing this to learn about mining in general. I am not familiar with the general abbreviations for mining.
I am just looking to know how to run these 3 machines safely in a domestic house "shed" out the back. I am wondering what way I would set up the power to the shed without being dangerous.
Here we go. I am jumping in with 2 feet here, I have only ever made 1 crypto transaction in my life though coinbase that turned into 2 transactions. Anyhow I hope that will give you an Idea of my Knowledge on crypto which is zero.
Mining
I don't know what came over me but decided to buy 3 mining machines. Its done and they are on their way. I do know about power costs and profitability so know I am up against it. I am also aware of the halving coming UP There will be a total of about 60 odd Th/s If the machines decide to work. It has cost me roughly $700 so far.
I need to know about wiring and how you would set up these machines on a circuit. So looking to know what way you would go about a standard 12kw 240 volt domestic connection. Each machine is about 2200 watts. I am looking to know would you give each machine its own dedicated Socket and breaker ? Or would it suffice on one loop of 3 sockets on say a 40 amp breaker ?
I know you are probably scratching your heads thinking why now on cheap gear but I would like to learn.
Also Pools and address I have no idea where to start.
