antminer s6 4500gh/s 1000watts

[ezeminer]

BE300 could do it (if it existed) but I don't think it's possible with the BM1384. Yes, there'd have to be a new chip to get past 4TH/KW even board-level, let alone from the wall.

They will probably push as much power as they can out of current chips before manufacturing new chips. As new chips are a huge manufacturing cost, which might not be viable for them, yet...

[Borgminer]

S6 is not coming out . it will most likely be a modified version of the s4 and a new chip s7

The low price of BTC is not encouraging people to enter the market.

If that would actually be the specs I feel like a lot more people would purchase a miner. However I do not see that happening.

[Borgminer]

the PSU they already have,

they don't have a psu, they buy in bulk what they need

calculating an 4th miner put in function 2 months ago is ~600$

They get those psu directly, they are custom made for them and they are probably pretty cheap as a 1400w server psu can be individually bought at ~200$

To get 4TH we talking a lot more power and standard home outlets don't allow over 1800w so unless this is JUST for data centers we won't see a 2kw home miner s6.

2x 1200 watt server psu's = 2400 watts easy peasy

.4 watts a gh = 6000gh done if they want to do it.

So it would essentially be 2 3000Gh machines in one case, that and no home miner would be able to run it.

Plenty of home miners could run that. All you need is one 20A/240V outlet. Perhaps you mean "A home miner that is not willing to spend a dime upgrading their homes electrical system cannot run it."

240v is NOT considered home mining equipment. "Home mining" means just what it sounds like. Equipment that can be run easily in a home environment. Modifying your home electrical isn't an option for most.

isnt the washer and dryer connection a 240v connection ?

yes (+electrical oven), but try to convince your lady to use these for mining

That's easy. They're not being used for cooking or drying about 95% of the time. Unplug, replug. Takes an extra 20 seconds.

loll I will like to see your house! Full of miner! 

[sidehack]

Actually, I don't even own a washer or dryer or lady. I've had a Dragon plugged in in the laundry nook for the last six months, heating the apartment and air-drying clothes for me. My last house had 200A service and lousy insulation so it actually was very full of miners, but now it's cheaper and easier to plug 'em in at the shop.

I have wanted to do this.  But I have never made it to unplugging the washer/dryer.  That is dedication!

For those of you wondering how to get 240 volt circuits in your home and you do not have room in your main panel; here is a consideration [My Main Panel is not like this anymore.  It looks like the one below]:




My Main actually looks like this now:



To power this [Don't mind the black paint on the wall and don't mind the orange wire.  It's an additional 10/2 to provide another 30 amp circuit going in the moment some S5's arrive]:

Isn't that really unsafe if you do a bad wiring job?

[dmwardjr]

No bad wiring job!  I used to be an electrician for 2.5 years.

What are you referring to that could possibly be unsafe?

Very clean job I agree.  For doing it yourself looks very nice. I also wonder what was the unsafe part.

  Black Spray paint?

BTW I thought they were scorch marks so don't feel too bad.

Black spray paint... LOL   

I painted stair case spindles against the wall on a rainy day inside the house downstairs before this closet was built.

Here's some of the iron staircase spindles [I'm remodeling my house all by myself]  That's part of a huge leather sectional you see in the upstairs living room:

It's cool.  I get it all the time.

I've been remodeling my home [It's a fixer upper].  Here you see where I had scaffolding up on the left side of the house at one time.  It is finished now.  I've put all new windows in the house as well.  I spent $17,000.00 on new casement windows for the front, back and both sides.  The house actually has two more windows than what it had previously.

Sent asking a few questions.  I love your setup dmwardjr.  Very clean and looks great.
