Hello, I live in the Philippines our electric here is 220V
I am curious about a few things.
I notice a couple things with my miners and have came up with a couple conclusions. Are these conclusions correct I have no clue, I hope you guys can correct me where I am wrong.
I use chinese made dragon miners. My browser stats reflect very small differences in hashing numbers, always between 1.028 Thash and 1.005 Thash per machine. However my stats reflected pool side range from 800GHS to 1200GHS per machine and bounce around like a bunch of jackrabbits. I also notice the hardware errors and rejects increase at certain ties of the day, usually higher rejects and hardware errors in the evening hours from 5 PM to 1 AM and no rejects and very little hardware errors all the other times of the day. Some information you may need is we are on a shared internet service means a lot of people use the same IP when connecting to the internet. (FYI ALL internet here is shared internet even what they consider Dedicated Static IP is not a true definition of a static IP address.
I have concluded the Rejects are due to internet problems and hardware errors are due to electricity fluctuations. Am I correct in this assumption?
The rest of this post is based on the above assumptions by me
Now this probably will not happen in USA or other countries using 110V grounded electric but here in the 220 area, while standing on the cement floor, if you just touch one of these miners you feel a nice shock of electricity. If you are sitting in a chair with your feet off the "ground" you do not feel any shock when touching them. After looking at a lot of Chinese Farms (where the machines come from) I noticed they have them incased and mounted to metal racks that are mounted to the cement floors, some of the floors have tile on them but I do not think that makes a difference, I think it will still be grounded.
Right now my machines sit on a wooden table blowing the hot air outside the room completely.
My question, If I put my machines on the cement floor will this effect my machines mining capabilities? In USA the machines are grounded by the electricity they use. Here in the Philippines they are not grounded in that way. But before I tried this and possibly ruined one of my machines I wanted to ask some expert advice. What effect if any would putting my machines directly on the cement floor have to their mining capabilities. I want to assume by the Chinese farms using metal racks mounted to cement floors they are in a sense grounding their machines in this way so I may have the same effect. It seems to me when you look at the stats of the miners n the chinese sites they run much more stable, I am wondering if putting them on the floor may make their mined stats on the pool side a little more stable maybe 1000 to 1200 GHS instead of 700 to 1200 GHS.
What are your thoughts?
