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]:

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

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

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.

DONT YOU WORRY

you think the marketing departments of these companies dont
see the need to purchase home miners.they just want to make
the product atractive so it can be on the market for 6-8 months
like Bitmain did with S3 and Spondoolies with SP-10

So just wait and the trigger will be pulled soon
I am also certain they will be expensive with No ROI posibilities so
used gear in lower prices will be an option.

just wait
Like always Smiley, and when the S6 comes out be prepared for cheap 5's.

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$
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817377050

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  Wink

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.

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

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...

Ant s6 with 4.5TH with 1k what would be very nice but highly doubtful given the ratio that it is currently running at with 1.1TH Only way this could happen is if their is a new chip and has much higher clocking and  requires less amount of chips and requires less  watt per GH

Yeah me too I will survie the first one but the second one will kill a lot of miner.

I hope that transaction fee will get bigger to give better reward to miner.  Grin

Yeah Im also looking for a cheap place to host next gem miners.
The next halving is in 2016 right? to 12.5 btc?

yes, Reward-Drop ETA: 2016-07-29. if the diff jumps are getting back to 10% or more, then the halving will be earlier a bit, maybe in max 1year
http://bitcoinclock.com/

i think i will survive it, but the one in 2020 is a killer

this is the trend as more and more money gets into the btc system, the competition gets more fierce and the small house miner are pushed to the side...
i'm searching for a good local place to host an 12u, 16kw rack in the near future... and after that i guess i have to quit
after 2020 halving there is no place for home miner, unless the price is maybe above 1000$ Roll Eyes
