So if we’re running 8 x 3500 watt miners, do we just set up 8 x 20 amp breakers with dedicated cables for each? And can someone clarify this voltage drop thing? If it goes from 230 to 202 volts, how does that trip the…

+1, but some miners do pull 3000 watts each...

In the UK, a standard double socket is usually rated for 13 amps, which is around 3500 watts max. Ring circuits can handle about 30-32 amps, peaking at 7500 watts. So if you plug in a couple of miners with 3000 watts…

Yeah, that might work. Or just upgrade the breaker to handle more.

Wait, you only need an extra 3800W? That’s not too bad. You could swap the fuse in your panel without telling the landlord. I know it’s a bit dodgy but it's not like you're hurting anyone. And if it blows, it’ll just…

Hey guys, I’m fixing some chips on my S17+ hashboard. How do I tell which one I should get? Is it really important if both chips fit the S17+?

Yeah, it’s super annoying to deal with taxes on crypto profits, especially since fees eat into withdrawals. Tax systems are all over the place. Most people just stick to normal jobs because of this headache. It’s hard…

You don’t need tons of boards. Even if you used a few, they’re only 1.25 cm thick. Not a big deal. Plus, plasterboard is way cheaper than those overpriced fancy materials.

Instead of fancy materials, plasterboards work well. Just build a room inside a room. In the UK, it’s about £10 for a decent sized board.

Electricity in UK homes is usually around 80-100Amps, right? But most miners need about 3000watts... so space is super limited. How can we work around that?

You’re looking at a big setup for mining, while trading needs just capital to get going.

Better to diversify and not bank on one coin. If DOGE tanks, my Antminer L3s go to waste. But if ETH goes PoS, many GPU miners might wish they switched to ASICs.

good point but the issue with HNT is your location matters a lot. I’ve got a setup and it's pathetic... like $6 from 4 hotspots. some even chew through so much data I had to cut them off. I’m not giving up that much…

Yeah, it could backfire if someone finds out. Especially if you’re in a place with a lot of kids around. They might get curious and cause problems.
