I've received no reply to an email submission. Is there a better way to contact? Do they have an official presence on this forum?

That other website deal was too good to be true then, 2300 for a 142T m50s+

They seem like great devices, as they are smaller than s19 models

Just wish they had an online shop!

That middle hash board is more than a little low, don’t be surprised if you come in and find “SM1 loss balance” one day. you should actually go into “miner API log” and take note of which chip is acting up. This will make the repair easier later on. I’m still here to help you whenever you need.

I had that worry but a few days of burn in and it has been really good for a few weeks.

[philipma1957]

the two m30s+ set to 3000 watts are pretty much flawless.

And a 1 month delay for the octominer cooler is the new schedule.

So Feb-28 to March 31 window 🪟 is now March 31- Apr 30 window.

May come it time to use for heating buysolars home pool.

This sucks, and by the way, I think the basic version of this tank does not come with a heat exchanger, which means you can't re-use the heat generated by the miners, my understanding of immersion cooling is that there are two types, a single loop, and a dual loop, the tank you bought looks to be using a single loop, the miners are soaked into the liquid, a pump sucks in the liquid from the top of the tank into the radiator /dry cooler, gets cooled down, and sent back to the bottom of the tank.

Using this setup, you have no way to redirect the heat to a place like a swimming pool, but can be used to heat a living room or whatever space that dry coolers blow hot air against.

The second type would be dual loop cooling, this setup uses a heat exchanger, which has 2 inputs and 2 outputs.

1- Input from the cooling liquid.
2- Input from the water source (swimming pool or whatever).
3- Output of the now "cooler" liquid to be sent back to the tank.
4- Output of the now "hotter" water to be sent back to wherever you want (the swimming pool again).

So basically the heat exchanger will take the heat from the liquid cooling and transfer it to the water without these two mixing together, you can probably build your own tank that does this, since you are located in the U.S and that's where most of the good grade cooling liquid is made, the concept is rather simple at least on paper.

-A tank that can hold 2 Whatsminers (can be made of glass or some strong metal).
-50-60L of cooling fluid (probably costs 300-500 for a good grade).
- A small pump.
- A heat exchanger.
- A dry cooler.

Of course, the final shape and those LEDs and fan control come at an extra cost, and they will be some trial and error, so a ready-to-use tank like the one you use has some merit, I would just confirm with them that it comes with a heat exchanger aka "dual Loop" system so that you guys can actually use it to heat the pool.

Still waiting on the cooler.

Meanwhile your 2x m30s and 2x m50s are doing well.

Was emailed on this yesterday maybe we get the cooler soon.

Was emailed on this yesterday maybe we get the cooler soon.

I’m looking forward to seeing how this all looks and your feedback once it’s installed. I just wish the cooler could operate in a little warmer temperatures. If it could handle being in 120 degrees then it would be absolutely perfect for operating out here in the desert. I hope these products continue to evolve.

These Octotank folks seem to be focusing on home-style coolers only, so I wouldn't be expecting much from them, however, there are many other solutions for places like deserts > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V--cCFr6ng8

Did they give you any valid reasons for this months-long delay?

Let me look at last email they sent me.

this is dated April 18th:


Hi Philip!

Thank you for your support! I'm happy to hear that you have used our GPU rigs previously and were satisfied with them.
We will be having an update shortly regarding Octotank 12. We did several improvements and upgrades on the product that make it more versatile to use and easier to ship. We will be doing an update with the exact details and shipping dates within the week.

Happy to work more closely with you regarding your plans to sell them to your solar array customers. Alex from our team can help schedule a call for next week, so we can discuss it in more detail.

Best Regards,

My answer was :
   Harry,
Thank you for your reply. I sent a cc to my partner and will contact him via a phone call today. Once we test and demo the cooler we can determine if and when we make it available to our solar customers as a home heater and water heater.

Best regards

Philip Arcario


that was April 19th

They did no followup

I will try them tommorrow.

It seems like they underestimated the difficulty and cost of shipping these and might be trying to figure out how to streamline their shipping methods to make sure you get it in one piece without them having to raise the price. Just my feeling after seeing their message. I look forward to seeing the results and I’ve always thought solar and immersion cooling was the combo everyone should have.

I went for sea shipping as air shipping was $500 more

I did 1500 + 500 = 2000 all in

If I did air 1500+1000 = 2500

We wanted to test before comment to a container or a ½ container of them.

Oh well.  Still waiting as of today.

[philipma1957]

Some good news got an email at midnight.


Hi Philip,

You should receive the update to shipping within the next 12 hours.

Thanks,
Alex

I will keep every posted.

I am hoping to be able to distribute these on the east coast.

As OG said shipping may be a real mofo so if we do start a partnership with them we will need an good understanding of how to ship one and set one up.

[OgNasty]

Looking forward to reading your review.

[philipma1957]

Me to hope they ship it soon.

@philipma1957 any news? How are the Octotank? Loudness, Cooling?
