When I see stuff like this, it strikes me how funny it is that people think mining Bitcoin doesn’t have a future. The future is now and it’s passing you.

Great
GigaBTC GM!
What is best resource for determining PDU type for BTC miner that would go into 240 volt 20 amp plug?
Most modern ASICS will accept 208-240V Some are even rated for 270V. You can look up the model number on the manufacturer website and look at specifications for input voltage.
Thank you!
It says that input is 200-240 volts
16 amp max.
That is for the input for a model HQ3300 switching power supply.
The switching power supply is part of the Ipollo B1L and is included. I presume I cannot connect it to a 240volt outlet that has 20 amps as its max is 16 Amps. So I thought I needed PDU for this reason to reduce amperage to under 16 amps.
Mining is humbling, but I am determined to go down this rabbit hole and learn it.
The breaker is 20A and 80% of that is 16A running load. Your unit should work perfectly with the factory power supply based on what you have said.
Thank you so much! I will let you know!
I have never used ASICS from this manufacturer, however it looks like they are using a similar form factor to Bitmain and likely the same parts, etc. Please let me know how it goes.
Thank you bro!
Hashing successfully now intermittently for past 24 hours!
I shut it off at night or if guests come over due to noise.
I am now a miner!
My terahashes on machine should go to 60 max, but I get fluctuation to low 30’s at most currently. I am not sure why! Any idea?
Where are you reading the hashrate? From the ASIC, management software or the pool?
The machine reads 26-30. The pool reads 26 as well!
Some fluctuations are expected especially when starting up after being off for a while. That said, once it gets up to speed and finds its sweet spot, it should run right around the expected hashrate. If it’s dropping by half for periods of time, that would suggest a bad hash board, overheating, malfunctioning control board, bad chips, or possibly network issues staying in contact with the pool.
Hello fren!
Been successfully mining now.
What’s the best way to figure out which pool is the best to mine on?
ViaBTC, Braiins? or another one????
I have also mined on ocean too.
It depends in your goal. There are many factors that determine profitability. The payout scheme from the pool and your hashrate contribution are the biggest factors. However there are other considerations such as Ocean not including Ordinals. How efficiently you run your machines, uptime and how low you can get your energy costs are the main things in your control.
Well said fren!
