Can i use a l6-30p to dual c13 directly ? Like this? https://a.co/d/29LCoZj
Or is it better to split after the c19?
Also, i bought the mentionned antminer s19j pro... But on the miner i received, the sticker say s19 Pro... without the J ...

Thanks for your quick reply, realy appreciated. Should have started here for informations.
Hopefully the cord that came with it has the proper plug for your country - the US, Asia and rest of the world all use different styles of power outlets & plugs... The end that plugs into the miner is the one *standard* connector they all use.ref https://www.iqsdirectory.com/articles/power-cord/electrical-plugs.html
Thanks for your quick reply, realy appreciated. Should have started here for informations.
A PDU is only for if you want to switch or otherwise control/monitor several miners. For one miner just plug it into a 208-240V 20A receptacle.
Hi! Is a pdu needed, or usefull ? Like this?: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00ZPOIPO4?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1
Btw, I will not be using the same model, but a s19j pro 100TH wich say 3050W.

Hi again,
I understand that you do not know this provider, so, if I buy a miner, I will buy it from viperatech. They have the best conditions till now.
I am a bit on the fence though. I understood that there are only 5 month till the next halving, and in the present situation I would have some 140$ profit per month, if the pool fee is 2%, so I would get my investment (the price of the miner) back in a year or so, however after the halving what is it going to be? I imagine that the profit will go half, so some 70$ per month. And I have to deal with the noise and heat.
Therefore comes the question, in the long run is it worth it? Or I would have just another doodad?
Thank you for your thoughts

Hi guys,
Did anybody hear of this company/provider of ASICs? https://captainmining.com/
I checked them out, the prices are good, however I did not find any review about it.

Thank you for your response seek3r.
What do you mean by "numbers stored on their website"?
[...]
Also I asked them a lot of questions lately, and they took care of them properly.
That all sounds great and makes a good impression. It certainly doesn't hurt if you find a dealer who will give you advice and support and isn't just concerned about selling as many units as possible.Also I asked them a lot of questions lately, and they took care of them properly.
They told me about pools, however that info I did not get it vetted yet. They said something about antpool and braiins that they should be better with the 2% fee compared to the 4% from ViaBTC.
And ofc paying 2% on fee less is better for ur own pocket/wallet. 
At the end you have to see which form of pool is best for you as there are also different reward types (PPS, PPLNS and so on).I will have to document and educate myself further on. Probably I will try the antpool as with ViaBTC it went with a lot of difficulty. I made in almost 2 weeks mining with 63TH only 0.00052172 BTC.
I also have to figure out, when it will get warmer outside, what to do with all the heat in the basement, and of course the noise. So, I have a lot of research to do.
Thank you again, and I will highly appreciate any other views/info about this issue of mine, as always.
I appreciate a lot this forum for the fountain of knowledge and professionalism.
May the BTC be with you

2 year warranty sounds nice in the first thought but always make sure to doublecheck what will be covered from that.
Other than that, it certainly doesn't sound bad. There are also numbers stored on their website. It certainly doesn't hurt to get in touch and express your interest.
You often get an idea of how legit they really are.
Thank you for your response seek3r.It is an Antminer S19k pro, and from what I understood it should be a solid machine, and from what I estimated, with the 120T machine I should have a nice profit from mining.
Keep in mind that BTC is a notoriously volatile market. The profitability of mining can change rapidly with fluctuations in the price of Bitcoin. I checked with vipera tech all the conditions and they seem fair enough. They also offer a 2 year warranty. I am checking with them now what is included in this warranty.
They offer a Warranty called "CYCLESAFE" - you should find all the information about it here: https://www.viperatech.com/cyclesafe-warranty/2 year warranty sounds nice in the first thought but always make sure to doublecheck what will be covered from that.

I found about them as I was "digging" for info regarding mining and miners, and they were very, very helpful with all the advice they gave me. They told me about the 220V and how to get it (I got it like they said). They told me about pools, however that info I did not get it vetted yet.

Hi guys,
I think I might take advantage of the offer from vipera tech: https://www.viperatech.com/product/bitmain-antminer-s19k-pro-136th-s/?currency=CAD
It is an Antminer S19k pro, and from what I understood it should be a solid machine, and from what I estimated, with the 120T machine I should have a nice profit from mining.
In the end I managed to get the refund from the previous machine, at least some 80%, because they deducted 20% restocking fee.
I checked with vipera tech all the conditions and they seem fair enough. They also offer a 2 year warranty. I am checking with them now what is included in this warranty.
Any thoughts?

Thank you very much for the links, however I am in Ontario, Canada, so I would use these links if they also have a branch/associate in Canada, or, if not, as a last resort in case I do not find anything suitable in Canada. Right now I have Vipera Canada who helped me with some other noob issues that I had, before discovering your forum.
Have a great day, and may the BTC be with you
Not from Canada nor US so I dont have a personal experience.
But you might want to check out https://www.gdsupplies.ca/ which I found. Also found out that QuoteColo offers hosting colocations and could help you.
They are offering fully managed mining so they should be able to help you with repair requests and so on.

They are also present in the US.

Could be the power bar, could be the cable.
I would wait to hear back from the seller.
Here in *theory* taking it apart and checking the cables should not invalidate the warranty since you do have to pull miners apart now and then to clean out the dust.
In reality, since you bought it from a reseller through Amazon, they can make any rules they want about what you can and cannot do. I would wait to see what they say.
If they don't respond or fix it for you get Amazon involved as early in the process as possible.

I talked to Larry from customer service and after all the things he suggested I do (I reseated the connectors that are underneath the above lid, upgraded the firmware, and restarted the miner), there were still 2 boards. Number 1 was still not available.
So now I have to send the Antminer across the country to Richmondhill, BC for repairs.
It looks a bit wrong as I have a brand new product that will become a "repaired" product that actually does not have the same value as the brand new one. He offered 80$ for the loss I would have in mining till the miner will be back from repairs. I am not too happy about the whole outcome, however if I talk to Amazon, I guess they will stick to the seller, and I will get my money back, if I get it back, in 30 days.
So I will send the miner for repairs in the end, and see what becomes from that.
I will call Amazon just to see what they say, however I am a bit disappointed in how they solve such issue.
The miner was not new, there have not been new S19 95TH out there for a while.
Lightly used / refurbished perhaps. But, not new.
Just saying this because if the seller / Amazon decide to give you a hassle about the return (doubtful since Amazon is very good with this) you could probably use that to help with getting your money back.
-Dave
I do not understand, all manufacturers/sellers of bitcoin mining machines are that devious/weird from the customer service point of view? I had another issue with a USB miner that I sent back, and though I just opened the package, looked at whatever was inside, put them back in as they were packed, and closed the package, they dismissed this refund for the reason that "the content was not the same as originally packed". What?!
Amazon said they will take care if this one, however the one from QIO TECH, instead of sending it to HongKong, I will send it to a Quebec address supplied by the seller, where it is much cheaper, and Amazon said they will take care of the restocking fees. We will see how it goes.
However, this type of treatment of the customers that want to mine and use their mining machines, is not too positive. I was expecting them to be in the same way as the Bitcoin crowd, to be able to make a difference. Instead of shi..ing on the little man/customer, to treat him/her with respect.
Anyways, in the end the idea of mining is still appealing to me, however I would like to do it in a more profitable way, i.e. a faster machine eating less power, if possible, and I would need eventually, if you know, some suppliers that you eventually dealt with, or know that they still have integrity when dealing with customers, it would be great.
I was looking at www.viperatech.com/ and they have a lot of mining machines, however I do not know which one to pick. I know they are close to here, however I do not know how they are in terms of customer service...
If you would know some other sellers that have more some backbone as companies that sell miners, I would highly appreciate the info.

Your #1 issue is the cost of power. Anything over $0.10/kW/H will NOT be able to mine at a profit. Period. No miner will ever be able to be efficient enough to do that.
Now if BTC goes over $50k again then ja that could work.
Your only option is to use a USB miner like Sidehack's R909, pulls less than 100w for over 1.5TH. Use something like that and point it at a solo pool like Kano's or -ck's as a lottery miner. Dirt cheap to run and if it finds a block you get the entire reward.
Regarding the price of KWh, what you said about 0.10 is USD, right? Then, I might still have a chance, as right now, in Canada, the price is still underneath that threshold, so I should be OK with a "normal" miner.Now if BTC goes over $50k again then ja that could work.

Also, regarding the USB miner, I understood that it does not work so well under Windows, so I should use a Raspberry Pi which would increase my cost again over 1000 $, so I think I would stick to the Antminer, or Canaan, if I find a suitable one.

I tried what you said using the USB miner from Gekkoscience, however the videos I watched showed that there is no win even with 3 of them, so I do not know how this would be a good idea after all.Now if BTC goes over $50k again then ja that could work.

Thank you for it anyways.
Actually, I would not mind if I would acquire BTC a bit more expensive using mining, for instance for the same power double the TH/s. The problem I would have right now would be the heat that is generated by it, and the noise. So I will think about this also.
Is there anywhere a calculation page where I could at least estimate what would be the loss, i.e. how much I would have to pay for the BTC?
