get a whole house surge protector installed in/next to your breaker box to prevent nasty stuff from coming in over the utility line. then use decent surge protector strips as needed to prevent inside high load stuff (fridge/HVAC/pumps etc) from messing with power.
 Nasty stuff from high load stuff is maybe as much as tens of volts.  All appliances are so robust as to make that only noise.  In fact, electronics convert those spikes into rock solid, low voltage DC to power it semiconductors.  So called interior surges are myths.  Numbers redefine that as noise.

Meanwhile that power strip protector is typically so grossly undersized as to also need protection only provide by a properly earthed 'whole house' protector.  No protector does protection.  The power strip is protected when a 'whole house' protector connects low impedance (ie 'less than 10 feet')  to what does that protection: single point earth ground.

Protection is always about where hundreds of thousands of joules harmlessly dissipate. No power strip claims such numbers.  Hundreds of thousands of joules cause no damage when absorbed by single point earth ground.  Then computers, refrigerator, furnace, smoke detectors, clocks, recharging mobile phones, and power strip protectors are protected.

I haven't posted any rigs in a while, so I thought I would put them up for posterity.


16 s3's on 5' shelf powered by 4 dps2000  pulling 24amps on the PDU  clocked at 231.   getting about 465gh each





using sunbreak's adapters and 6g welding wire.




from the front:




and here are some of the spoons!!

We are all delusional. Now, since bitcoin is in the dumps and most people are losing money actually keeping them running we start to call them our heaters in the winter time in the US. It's like we make up excuses to keep them running when we all know an efficient heating system in a house is much better hear then a few electrical spot heaters around making tons of noise.




It's called rationalization.

Quote
(also known as making excuses) is a defense mechanism in which controversial behaviors or feelings are justified and explained in a seemingly rational or logical manner to avoid the true explanation, and are made consciously tolerable – or even admirable and superior – by plausible means.

Basically you keep telling yourself you're "supporting the network!" or "they make great space heaters and make a few BTC cents also!" or "BTC price will spike to the moon in a couple months, just you wait!"

We all know these aren't true, but disregard my stance on the overall mining scene.

I still love seeing these rigs!  Lots of great hobby miners in the community, besides the plateauing of profitability.

The miner might not have the efficiency of a heat exchanger, but it does real work (BTC) and produces heat a side effect. It's completely retarded to invest 10.000's of $ to drill and dig for a machine that ONLY produces heat, no matter how efficient it is.

With the BFL Monarch underclocked at maximum I get 260GH per ~150W and thats important because it is silent! completely silent, I can put it next to the bed! And USB is a great advantage too, because you can use stable WiFi for all your mining gear across the house without ethernet cables.

BFL is coming back with a vengeance!

This is the future! A woodstove, underclocked Monarches with RPi+WiFi and the Oculus Rift CV = goodbye crap debt fiat real reality.

I'm ejecting from this society! Wink

Lets NOT get too far off topic.. this thread is for pics. (which I posted just upthread).

spondolies  sp20:   1220gh  @ 650watts   400$
butterflyL  monarch  260gh  @ 150watts   1300$

I am not that good at math but it doesn't appear to me that BFL is gona sell alot of them!!!

Well I paid 800$ for my Monarches. Actually I paid 3.6 BTC for 4x but that was back in the 1000$ glory days...

I guess the Spoondoolies would be an alternative if:

1) They had customizable speed without going through their interface, which is hosted by them, they take the site down and your spoonies are turned into crap (potentially?) if they are hardcoded in firmware to connect to "the cloud".

2) If they had USB. I need to connect to my 4g router with antenna in the attic, and the house is 200 years old so: no drilling (because it would be rude) = wifi.

I could add photos but they are just monarches with fans replaced with variable speed Nonctua connected to Corsair AX760/860 PSUs.

What I think you (and all other non heating miners) don't appreciate is: monarches have liquid cooling. If you compare the GH/db with Spoondolies they are worth the extra dough, easy!

1. It isn't the "interface" is on the machine itself not hosted by them
2. It has USB and supports Wifi (experimental at the moment), or you could use a cheap lan to wifi converter

well my units again KNC Jupiter oct 18th 2013 to jan 18th 2015 (RIP) 51 BTC

and my no refund no roi late to arrive  KNC Titan 306mh (2 dead dies dang it) Nov 8th 2014 mine it till it is a door stop...)

at 15c kwh elec I think I be pretty much out of home mining at this point FYI.....

anyway such as it is


Old Style Legacy Plug & Play BBS System. Get it from www.synchro.net. Updated 1/1/2021. It also works with Windows 10 and likely 11 and allows 16 bit DOS game doors on the same Win 10 Machine in Multi-Node! Five Minute Install! Look it over it uninstalls just as fast, if you simply want to look it over. Freeware! Full BBS System! It is a frigging hoot!:)

2. It has USB and supports Wifi (experimental at the moment), or you could use a cheap lan to wifi converter

So, how do you reach that HTTP interface via USB?

Still it's not liquid cooled and silence is no 1 in home heating.

One more benefit with mining gear heating is that the fans actually rotate the air in the space, and since you put the miners on the floor, that's really good in an old house so you don't have to freeze your socks off!

Hello All,

Thought I'd post a small pic of my small mining operation.



These will soon be replaced with a couple antminer s5 soon.

Specification
My old XFX 850w semi modular psu
2x Rockminer New R-Box 100g both running @ 122GH/s each
Raspberry Pi model b+ running minera.
Antminer PSU jumper

This is just a hobby for me at the moment

Cheers

Nope no problems. I run 3 off 2 evga 1300w psus and the other 2 off the evga 1600w.

Probably going to move them into my parents garage for some cold and also to get rid of the fan noise in my house.

See, that's exactly my point.

You need to find a way to mine INSIDE of the house so that the energy can come to good use!

This is why the Monarch is actually not that bad!
