I don't really run many miners of my own. Can't really afford to buy in, all my resources are tied up in paying the bills and building stuff for everyone else. My hosting exists to be affordable for little guys who aren't getting any breaks like the big farmers do. From the beginning I've not liked big farms strangling out the little guys and I won't be offended to see some go offline.

Cool, quiet and up to 1TH pod miner, on sale now!

Should be fine, yeah. 120V 15A, would give you 1440W of AC input (assuming 80% continuous draw as safety margin). If the circuit is running only that miner, this gives you something like 1300W of DC output, which an S7 would only request what, 1000 to 1200 depending on batch/model and clock setting?

I'd put the 1000W across two blades, and the 750W across the third blade and controller. That'd keep both of them at about half power for good efficiency.

You're like the Robin Hood of bitcoin.

Not really. That guy was a thief. I'm just some guy with a contrary nature and enmity toward greed. But none of that has much to do with how to safely run a 1400W miner off a single 120V circuit.

Correct, I consider this thread closed. You guys all helped me with my questions and I have some solid info now so thanks to every one who helped. Good luck to everyone and your mining. Cheers.
