My miner came 1 day early it works and I am happy with it.

I am debating with myself on getting  1 more  for me.

I buy one at a time I am happy with the gear and I am debating if I should get one more.

[Remember remember the 5th of November]

Just looked at our power cost. It's $0.13 per kw/h...so even this miner is unprofitable for me, at least at current prices. I won't even be able to break even in a short enough period.

[minefarmbuy]

We source from Pango ourselves, they always have a coupon in cart which is used unless bulk. A line to Whatsminer has been tiresome for a while.

Did I complain about my power cost in this thread either? I'll spare everyone.

[Steamtyme]

Received my shipping details from Pangolin yesterday, should have them in hand Friday. Just gotta figure out what I'm keeping online and where over the weekend.

Anyone not buying these from Pangolin isn't doing their research. They were 125$ cheaper than whatsminer to begin with and the discount code just made it better. Not sure if there's some benefit for other countries that I don't see but it was clear cut for me.

I can't complain about electricity prices, that's what made these 2 an easy buy. I want to get them up and running and am considering a 3rd or 4th. This would essentially leave me all in on Whatsminer, decisions decisions.

[NotFuzzyWarm]

Well, y'all convinced me and I have my 1st M10 on order from Pangolin. It will be nice having something other than my very healthy herd of Avalons and the few remaining s9's I have left which are slowly dying board-by-board.
 

[minefarmbuy]

Yea, hoping to get something soon. My link clicks ----> purchases are sparse now in this market. So lots put off. I'll probably be looking at cooling prep for summer or just get one efficient unit or two if I'm able. Just a tough time after holiday and car issues.

M10 is top of the list, since the db's are pretty low on LPM/efficiency setting from philipma's reads.

I am going to the Clifton solar build out on Thurs or Fri this week.

when we are done we should be at 400-425th  btc and 6gh ltc

All the s9's will be at the 1250 watt setting
the 4 m10's top speed
the t2t 24th turbo at balanced speed
the l3+ at stock speed low volts setting
the a921 at -2
the a721's at -1

I think we will pull about 46kwatts
we need to do 56Kwatts for 4 months
we will then do the solar and drop to 40 kwatts

I most  likely need 10-12kwatts of gear

say 5 more m10's

it will be nice to have  40kwatt free and up to 90kwatts if mining takes off

I had an issue with the shipping address with Pangolin.

I Opened a ticket 20 mins after my order to confirm what was my Billing address and shipping address.

They told me they would use the shipping address and did not. As soon as I received my tracking notice. I told them they didn't do it correctly.

Saturday(2.5-3 days after the order date): "Wait until Monday", On Monday, "can you re-confirm your shipping address ?" (Which i did) (It was already too late to changes it, all the shipping folks at my job told me so), Tuesday i got the delivery.

This is answer I had Tuesday when I told them I had to re-ship the unit myself to the correct address and it cost me like the double of the original shipping.

"Hello xxx,

DHL informed that the package has been signed for the delivery.

The delivery address can not be changed here."

I'm quite pissed off. I sent an email to Sales, Invoice and Logistic telling them this was quite an unprofessional way to go around an issue I flagged 3 days before they shipped the units and as soon as they did.

Now they gave me a compensation ticket 50$

Total lost 212$ us. (and 5 days of mining)

At least they answer to email.

[philipma1957]

I had an issue with the shipping address with Pangolin...

So you gave them an address say 123 Main Street.

You then said make the address 333 Broadway .

The first address you gave
The second address you gave.

I am asking because almost every seller won’t change addresses.
At least bitmain would not change
And Avalon would not change.

I think he was saying that he provided both a shipping and a billing address but, out of fear they would ship to his billing address, opened a ticket 20 minutes after placing his order to confirm they were shipping to his shipping address and not his billing address. Pangolin confirmed they would ship to the shipping address. Tracking number is provided by Pangolin upon shipment which showed the package was going to the billing address instead of the shipping address.

I've had this problem before with large and small retailers, especially when the shipping/billing are in the same state or even zip code (my billing address is only 3 miles from my shipping address and something like 5 miles from my office haha).

Exactly,

They had 3 days to fix it (3 days after my order, and 3 days after they shipped) and they didn't do it.

I don't know.

It's not cool in my opinion.

EDIT: Most poeple have the same billing address and shipping address but I had not. Billing at my address but shipping elsewhere.
EDIT2: Anyway not much can be done anymore, i will take the shipping lost but don't trust them about changing address .... even before they ship. Either they have a bad comminication or i don't know ...
EDIT3: All 4 are working great

[philipma1957]

oh misunderstood you.  
good thing I always use same address.

just finished the second stage of out build out in Clifton NJ.

27 units doing  btc

420th btc

13 units doing  ltc

5.3gh ltc  maybe more like 6.3gh as I think I have  two units pointed wrong.

The 4 M10's are beasts  right about 131th and 9200 watts

Quite impressive !

I will sleep better knowing they are not Bitmain's gear, that's for sure  

[philipma1957]

Yeah
My gear is :
131 th are m10s
 40 th  are Avalon
 20 th are innosilicon
 230 th are used s9s most purchased from bitcointalk members some from eBay and just 3 from bitmain.

We will let it sit for a week and then tweak it. I think we need to add 4 more m10s . Slowly but surely.

All the s9s I have are set to middle speed at 1280 watts.  If I drop them to ultralow
They would take 780 watts I have 18 of them so that is a 9000 watt drop. Or 500 x 18.

That means that 4 m10s added net   9200-9000 = 200 watts

I lose 18x3.5 = 63 th dropping the s9 power
I gain. 4x 31 = 124 th adding the four m10s

 A 61 th gain and power cap goes up 200 watts.

So in two months we will be near 480th

Then
Drop the 2 a721s   Add one more  m10  a gain of 20th. 31th-11th = 20th maybe 100 more watch.

We would then be at 500th.  That brings us to April which is when the solar gets installed.

[TheYankeesWin!]

Phil did you order another m10? 

[philipma1957]

Phil did you order another m10? 

No we are getting 2 more.

should come by thurs.

I ordered 1
buysolar ordered 1

This will have us up to 6 of them.

[Steamtyme]

Yay. So definitely loving these machines.

They arrived Friday, in the worst possible way. Left on my porch for minimum 6 hours on a good old -30C day. Good times. Even better I had to show up at their location to find out.
I lay a lot of blame on DHL for this, as I knew I'd be near their local hub and requested a hold at location, instead they gave it to the local courier, who instead of holding delivered ... without signature.

So Friday night was just an unboxing and warm up/dryout in case. Tested 1 Saturday in the garage, then hooked both up Sunday.

1 unit was delivering 31.6 TH/S  The other was doing 30.5 TH/S pretty nice.

I am currently running the lesser in Low power mode, at approximately 15.8  up over 17 TH/S .

Hoping this continues nearing the 24 hour mark im hoping to get closer to the 20.

-30c = fucking cold bro.

we had 9f yesterday  that is pretty cold -13c

I have my 5th one coming to my house this thurs
I have the 6th one coing to buysolar's house this thurs.

we will bring them to the build out  on fri or mon

[Steamtyme]

Yeah definitely not picnic weather, hence the attempt to get 8kw pumping in the basement. Just need to build soundproofing and I can get both back up to normal power mode.
Much closer to the 9f weather today, to my great relief on the way to work.


I'm reaching out to Pangolin and Whatsminer today to see if there are any support documents out. Anything in the way of troubleshooting or tweaking as the one unit just doesn't seem right, I'd also like to see a published spec for what to expect from low power mode.

I'm back to only getting 15.7 TH/S on that unit - haven't had a chance to test power draw, like won't before my trip this week. I gave it a reboot last night and will leave it for another 24 hours and see. Tonight I'm going to swap power modes on my 2 units to compare and see how my other unit (31.7 TH/S on normal power mode) runs.

Here's what my low power mode unit shows in the status - All devices show 105 effective chips
