I'm just setting up two Antminer s9's and the power cable to the power supply is getting warm.

Is this normal?

Or do I not have sufficient amps on the house  current?

I'm worried so I turned them off.

I've got 220 and using a 2000w capacity power stick. The cable from the house to the power stick is getting a tiny bit warm.

According to NIST and ECRYPT II, the cryptographic algorithms used in Bitcoin are expected to be strong until at least 2030. (After that, it will not be too difficult to transition to different algorithms.)

I think I got it figured, the gauge of the wire for the power supply must be too small.
Need to get larger gauge wire. Or rather smaller gauge.

Larger gauge = lower number...  Correct.
