Pangolinminer & Whatsminer FAQs

[Shazam!!!]

Well I got it up and running a couple times, but I am having issues now getting it to work with nicehash.

Do you just follow the direction in some of the FAQ's for cgminer or is there a specific way to enter it for whatsminer m3 pools?

I.E- stratum+tcp://sha256.usa.nicehash.com:3334#xnsub

then worker name

and x for password

I got it to start accepting SHA work but there was no xnsub which i guess you won't get paid since it can't validate. So i added in the xnsub but now it won't show up on nicehash or in my menu as doing anything.

Any suggestions?

I do not recommend, nor advise about Nice$TA$H. You are having issues that are Port issues. If you were to enter
a REAL pool's address, it would be fine. Goodluck!!!

Does anyone know what is the average lifetime for an M3? Do they offer service support like shipping specific spare parts?

Mine M1 works so good since last summer. I can help with hash boards and control boards.

Hi all,
I tried with a host for my M3s that I received 2 weeks ago but there’s not much luck What happened is that after running for 24 to 48 hours straight, the cables got burnt out once, another time the fuse of the socket got burnt. Anyone has similar challenge or able to advise how to overcome this? Thanks

@gglala
That sounds like a short circuit issue.

Guys you need to do some homework before runing a miner or you will ger your house burnt down. So M3 drains approx 2200w, if you are on 230v you should use 1,5mm2 cables. It should be rated 16amps. It should be also in a power circuit that is protected with 16A fuse.

Wrong.

1.5 mm2 - Max. circuit breaker size: 10 Amps

2.5 mm2 - Max. circuit breaker size: 16 Amps

This is how it is done in installations which comply with the IEC standards.

Thanks for the advice. Can I please confirm if this 2.5mm2 cable is for electrical wiring from the DB breaker to the socket or for the power cord cable to connect from M3 to the socket?

[HagssFIN]

I was talking about wiring from the circuit breaker to the electrical socket.

[gglala]

Thanks and the electrician confirmed it’s 2.5mm2 wiring and the socket is working. However the plug of the power cable to M3 burnt after running for more than 36 hours. What else can be done to rectify this?

[HagssFIN]

What wire gauge does the power cord from socket to psu have?

I know, when I said 1,5m2 16A I was refering to cable from miner to socket. The instalations in a house should be done by electrician so I consider it was done by standars.

What wire gauge does the power cord from socket to psu have?

It’s the cable provider by Pangolinminer together with the M3 and PSU.

[HagssFIN]

I don't remember specs for the stock power cord, since I did not use it as we have Type F sockets here in Finland.

They provide 1,5mm2 cable with the unit which does the job great and does not get warm.

[HagssFIN]

Ok, 3x1.5mm2 C13 --> Type I  power cord it is then.

Yeah it should do the job just fine, presuming that the cable condition is good and it is not damaged.

New M3 Normally does not work, reboots, Hash Rate 10-11.3 maximum, the frequency jumps all the time 600-618

Does the frequency jump on 1 board or all 3???

[Arbitr13]

Good evening! SM0 620-635, medium SM1 always 636, SM2 590-611. First 635. 636. 611, and then after one minute the miner himself is overloaded and switches to the frequency of 624 636 600. and GH 10900-11300. It shows error E013
The speed of hashing is low. On the back of the miner, a red diode is constantly blinks.

[Arbitr13]

I read on the forum as soon as errors appear on the chips, the controller makes several more attempts, checks that the errors are stable, and switches the frequency of the entire board back to the one on which there were no errors on the chips.
After an automatic restart, I see UpfreqCompleted 2
