By the way it's the Amps that kill you, not the Volts, America got it wrong, crony capitalism won out over science fact!  Wink

Who cares which is important.  A 220V circuit has plenty of each.    V=IR

The Bitcoin software, network, and concept is called "Bitcoin" with a capitalized "B". Bitcoin currency units are called "bitcoins" with a lowercase "b" -- this is often abbreviated BTC.

What should power limit be on a mining equipment in your country?
Please name the country and list Volts/Amps

In USA many people are limited to 120V/15A while you can get 20A circuits in some places.

Decision is ether to make miner fit into 120V/15A or 120V/20A and then if mined is rated for 15A you don't use 5A on 20A circuit or if miner rated for 20A you have to set it to lower performance on 15A circuit and loose 25% performance. Which one is better?
Obviously miner can use multiple 15A circuits to get better density.
How will your asic use 1800(!)watts? Also, if you're serious, you could hook up mining units to 240v outlets (the ones used for dryers).

[...]
By the way it's the Amps that kill you, not the Volts, America got it wrong, crony capitalism won out over science fact!  Wink
Or maybe, don't fucking touch the outlet?

It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.

How many amps you get is going to be limited by your own body's resistance, and by the voltage imput.  More volts = more amps at the same resistance, so a higher voltage is going to be more dangerous for people.

Having been zapped several times & once quite nastily on 240v circuits I can testify that it definitely does not tickle!  Whoever said what doesn't kill you can only make you stronger, I'd like to electrocute that bastard lol

In any case, this is a discussion about how much can be safely drawn from the wall rather than who's voltage is more dangerous to prying fingers. Here in Japan homes rarely go about 15A so even 20A would be a serious problem unless you have access to commercial premises.

This is a serious question. Do not seek an answer from random folks on the Internet. Look up actual standards for countries that interest you.

They're there, in their room.
Your mining rig is on fire, yet you're very calm.
