(Review/Guide) WhatsMiner M10 33.0 Th/s, 2145W Bitcoin (SHA-256) ASIC miner

[philipma1957]

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

	GH/S AVG	Freq	Temps
SM0	6490	314	74
SM1	4879	263	71
SM2	4394	249	65

that is what mine do on low power setting.

I also do 20.5 th and about 1280 watts on low which is 1280/20500 = 62 watts a th

if you have 2 weak boards and total  15763  you should pull 978 watts

978/15763 = 62 watts a th

which is not a disaster efficiency wise

I wonder if DHL's 6 hours of  cold  hurt it.

all four of mine are good to go.

I wonder if the room is too cold for it.

Yeah your numbers are what I was using as a benchmark, as I can't find published low power mode numbers. Yours have been up and running for a while, do they stay with the Freq they lock in at startup or does it cchange on an auto update type feature.

I wonder if DHL's 6 hours of  cold  hurt it...

That's what my guess was on this, the room ambient is about 20C average these are running in my basement. On Normal mode it's within spec for (TH/S), but at low power it seems to compound the issue. I am hoping they have some troubleshooting info to pass along, as I browsed the tabs I didn't see anything I could really dig into, even the API log data is pretty foreign for now; especially when it's not as simple as 100/105 chips or something.

I've fired off an email to see what I hear back. In the one to Pangolin I was sure to mention the issues I had with the delivery just to have everything covered and documented with them. Either way tonight I'll switch between the 2, this should net me 3-4 extra TH/S.

31.7 -> 20 hopefully
15.7 -> 30.5
47.4 -> 50.5

[philipma1957]

they can change  it can take 30-60 minutes for them to settle.

[minefarmbuy]

Was the package insured? And you said there was another carrier that dropped off without a signature?

[Steamtyme]

I'd have to check, Pangolin handled all shipping details. I would be surprised if they didn't insure shipments considering everything they send is a high value package.

It was delivered by a 3rd party carrier as I'd be considered a rural community off the beaten delivery path. I specifically did not want them delivering this package if I wasn't going to be home (bad experience when they delivered my T9+). It was just annoying that they still processed the hand off to them. They said it was something to do with requests being submitted before it enter the country.

I'll see what Pangolin has to say on the matter. Either way it's still working, and it wouldn't hurt to get some troubleshooting guidelines from them to disseminate.

 now you are the second guy in Canada with a shipping issue.
 it seems  they have a language barrier/cultural issue with shipping.

I think Herb Pean   had a billing address and a shipping address
they shipped to the billing address in his case.

In your case  the hold did not get put in.
To be fair bitmain did it with the t-9 if I read you correctly.

[Steamtyme]

For my shipping issue at least Pangolin is in the clear. It was entirely a DHL boondoggle. They are who I communicated with for the Hold. The explanation was that their system for international deliveries for my location has them hand the package off to the 3rd party carrier right out of customs; and any request such as a H.A.L for the DHL facility doesn't register on the system until after the package scans in Canada.

Beyond that it's the local shipper that without authorization both times left the package without signature. The first delivery is why I wanted it held at DHL in the first place, once I realized delivery would be scheduled when I wasn't home.

The communication with Pangolin was easy and flawless as I had to contact them about payment, their countdown timer is super quick. I'm interested to see what they are able to come back with to help my current situation. I'm headed out of town for in a few days for the mountains, so I don't know how many fixes I'll be able to try. Either way they will both be in low power mode while I'm gone, so either I get a fix in before or I can take a crack at it when I get back.

Herb's would have definitely been an annoyance and out of pocket expense; and from what I gathered falls on Pangolin. I'm not sure what was wrong when it was placed originally or how it happened, but something must not have looked right to reach out to them right away. If the error was on their end right from the start I would have expected a full refund of shipping costs, but you take what you can get. And know I can add a tally to my known Canadians lol.

[philipma1957]

Mine took a side trip to miami and are now in new york

should see them on thurs.

[fccs]

DHL is horrible.  Mine came from China to NY in 2 days...  Then took 6 days to get to my house.  Due to being lost.. then found and shipped to amazon warehouse by accident.. then dropped off at my house and DHL was still even looking for it.  lmao.

Mine is now misplaced maybe I get it on fri.

All others came pretty fast. No issues.

I had three from them this was  fourth one. And a private buy for one.

Buysolar got his today.  That is our fifth one.

[minefarmbuy]

Weird. DHL has always delivered my personal stuff without issues. Wonder if the tariffs are reducing imports and they've scaled back on labor?

So it is working as I type.

Just a 1 day delay  it arrived 40 minutes ago. We had a monster rainstorm  maybe that is why.

see below it did a side trip to Miami and  it really got stuck in NYC

[minefarmbuy]

Did they contact you for duties was the hold up? 4 days isn't the worst, anything we have to prep for customs the paperwork is filed asap for smoother sailing.

If you're getting hit with duties on shipments under $800 I would pay them and file the correct paperwork later to recoup the funds.

So far I order 1 at a time  and things are good.

We now have six at the new solar array.

2x 34th m10
4x 31th m10

My one complaint is I don't know how to upgrade firmware on the 2x 34th models so they only have 1 speed

[minefarmbuy]

Awesome, m10 is probably the best upgrade $/th for units shipping now factoring de minimus. We've had decent success with throttling shipments out for clients without too much back end work. Also looks like the trade war might be looking to close up in a few months.

[Steamtyme]

Nice to see your units arrived Phil.

It's weird I have reached out to Pangolin a few times, and so far nothing in the way of answers or troubleshooting.

Either way between the 2 units I am on spec. I really can't complain to much. The nice thing is while I was gone there were to power outages in my area, both times the units fired back up when the power was restored.

Agreed minefarmbuy, that's what my conclusion was when I ordered these.

[minefarmbuy]

Odd price increase by pangolin. Well done on those who ordered prior.  

Even with coupon this is over de minimis, wonder if pango got greedy with the influx of added sales.

Is de minimus  $799.00 USD?

[minefarmbuy]

Correct.

[Steamtyme]

My guess for the price jump is that they weren't moving any of the 33 TH models.

I know i wasn't about to pay 125$ per TH, for the extra 2.

I'd say still a good deal, just not as good.
