Well I finally did it! I tripped the main breaker to the house. All of my miners (including 29 FrankenJup boards), pool pump, central A/C, portable A/C, evap cooler, various fans, washing machine and microwave were running and I turned on the TV and the breaker tripped. Also, it's over 100f today.

I immediately tried resetting it after turning everything off and it wouldn't start. I waited 30 minutes and it finally reset.

So it looks like I'm going to have to start getting rid of some of my ASICs, underclock my FrankenJups even more or look for datacenter hosting... unless someone has some other helpful tips that don't involve me adding more electrical service to my house.
Impressive. Most impressive.

Impressive?

I'd call it scary. You jacked your main breaker to the point that it took 30 mins to cool down so it would reset.


Don't take the past suggestions of "Don't use this, don't use that"

Here is the suggestion, reduce your mining equipment until this does not happen. The safety of your home is at risk.

My advice is reduce mining, then turn all that shit on, microwaves, ac, pool pumps etc. and if the breaker does not pop then you have fixed the problem.




Yea dude....you don't wanna burn down your friggin house even if it is a rental or not to mine for bitcoin. You'll either be dead or in jail for killing someone.

Hey, does anyone know how to tell which electrical outlets are on the same circuit? Is there some kind of tool out there you can buy that you can plug in one outlet then go around to each other outlet and when it sees that other plug it will light up or something?

I know they messed up because a couple outlets in my living room go out at the same time ones go out in my office.  And that's two room away. Unless that's the way it is done?

This of course was expected, right? You live in the US and have normal home wiring?

Right now i just have a Jupiter and will be adding an Spoondoolie SP10 and that will be a challenge for me when it gets warmer out. Keeping everything running and cool is gonna be a bitch and LOTS of people are going to freak when they keep snapping breakers in their home. This is why I stopped myself from getting an SP30, just don't have the juice and can't afford to re-wire my home.

What puts a big question mark in my head is die hard miners will spend some times $5,000 upgrading their electrical panel in their home, but they won't add that to the total of the cost of the mining hardware to break even?


It really just crept up on me. I knew I was nearing the limits of the individual breakers in my house before my FrankenJup arrived. That's why I bought a PDU so I could utilize the 30amp dryer outlet. I had tripped some individual breakers in the past but nothing serious. So I'd just move machines to other breakers. I had no idea I was reaching the limits of the entire house. And I even retired my AM Blades, BFL Singles and my USB sticks to be cautious.

I might have been ok when my Monarchs finally arrive but then KNC sent the second set of boards. And of course I had to get some of them running too! What kind of BTC miners leaves ASIC boards in boxes wrapped in bubble wrap?  Lol.

I now have no further plans to acquire any new hardware even when my current stuff becomes obsolete or dies. Trying to keep up with the difficulty has quickly become impossible. Even the most efficient ASICs coming later this year aren't enough to keep me in the game. It's been a fun ride but it's time to let my farm die slowly.

Hey, does anyone know how to tell which electrical outlets are on the same circuit? Is there some kind of tool out there you can buy that you can plug in one outlet then go around to each other outlet and when it sees that other plug it will light up or something? When my house was built the electricians did a SHIT job, but since I switched from central AC to window AC I have some power to play with but want to make sure what outlets are on what breaker. I know they messed up because a couple outlets in my living room go out at the same time ones go out in my office.  And that's two room away. Unless that's the way it is done? I was NEVER any good at electricity. Horrible at it.

this may help as well as mentioned in a post before can tell the load on your panel...i have a 100amp panel (no central a/c and water boiler heat) likely i'll have no issues but will be good to know what i draw now with the window a/c in the bedroom and the current Jupiter ..for less then 60 bucks it is worth getting imho

if nothing else will really tell me if i need to go to a 200 amp service or not w/o relying on the guy who wants to make a living putting these in telling me

Old Style Legacy Plug & Play BBS System. Get it from www.synchro.net. Updated 1/1/2021. It also works with Windows 10 and likely 11 and allows 16 bit DOS game doors on the same Win 10 Machine in Multi-Node! Five Minute Install! Look it over it uninstalls just as fast, if you simply want to look it over. Freeware! Full BBS System! It is a frigging hoot!:)

Received two jupiters from hosting less than a month ago...   one went down this weekend and turned it back on to get some sparks and then a rather large flame from one of the boards.   removed case and disconnected the charred board and turned on again.    now running 3 boards and contacted KNC for a return.   

Connected to a gold 1200 watt power supply running the default (factory) settings. Average temp 58 C.

(Refund update, got a USD refund for my last Neptune.  Request Date = 2nd week in april.  Refund date = 5/20)

One way to tell is to open up the load center panel and look at the bars below the circuit breakers.
The breakers are often every other breaker on same leg/phase.
That is why dual leg 240 curcuit breaker is wider, it needs to grab 2 different phase.

If you have a voltmeter _AND_ skills to measure voltage at the outlet _AND_ a long extension cord.
measure between the hot legs of different outlets.
(The hot leg is the small plug prong)

0 volts equal same leg/phase
240 volts equal different phase

DO NOT TRY THIS IF UNCOMFORTABLE WITH AC WIRING
You usually only get one time to burn your house down.
I'd suggest saving that one time for when you need to destroy evidence or something similarly nefarious. Wink

YMMV
Smiley

EDIT
What I described above is how to tell if circuits are on different legs.
The tool Joe mentioned is the EASIEST way to locate outlets on the SAME circuit.

You could get a lamp, turn off all but one circuit and test every outlet for live outlets, rinse, repeat.

I forgot to mention, but I got my BTC refund for 3 Neptunes on the 20th May, just hours before the price started to rise. KNC couldn't have chosen a better time.
Original purchase price for 3 was around 30400USD and I got 66.5BTC back at 457USD exchange rate.
With the current exchange rate that is almost $8000 ahead.

I am so glad I requested a refund Smiley
