Hi Friends,

Just wanted to know your thoughts on folks running D3, L3+ and A4+. Do you guys run 220V or 110V. I know 220V will consume less AMPs. but would that be cleaner to the PSU and less stress on the miner? ...

I currently do not have 220V in my garage, but i was wondering instead of doing a new line, should i buy the converters off Amazon?

Appreciate your input. My location is Northern California, US.


Thanks!

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

The correct answer is always the higher voltage - you get better efficiency running at the highest voltage you can.

You 100% *DO NOT* want to buy a step-up converter, you'll just introduce loss in the conversion - you would be much better off just running 240v off of something else in your house that probably already uses it, like your washer/dryer or oven.  Typically it's not that big a deal to have an electrician run another 240v line into your garage, and it will save you a bunch of headache down the road.
