You guys have 220, and if i remember right closed closed-loop wiring. We have only 120, which cuts the wattage in half per given wire gauge, and no looping to the breaker panel (think extention cord).

Actually according to Wikipedia:

Quote

The standard nominal supply voltage in domestic single-phase 50 Hz installations in the UK is still 240V AC (RMS), but since 1 January 1995 (Electricity Supply Regulations, SI 1994, No. 3021) this has an asymmetric voltage tolerance of 230 V+10%−6% (253–216.2 V), which covers the same voltage range as continental 220 V supplies to the new unified 230 V standard.

You live in an underpowered country. Grin

Here 16A x 240V = 3840W per circuit is the norm.

Where is this?
In the UK the norm is 13A x 240V = 3120W per outlet.
Circuit Breakers for sockets are 30-35A I think.

Edit: US house breakers are usually 15-20A for the 120V outlets, going up to double 30s (60A) for 240V (we get that in-dust-ri-al 3-phase dealy, where each phase->neutral is 120V, and we just run one leg through the house).

we're too busy making nuclear bombs. Grin

yeah, i had to install a 240V outlet just for my avalons. best thing i ever did.

kettles boil water so much faster in 240v countries.....sigh.

Disclosed paid representative =/= shill, reading this bickering is annoying and totally inconducive to the real questions being asked here, which is the purpose of this thread. Take your accusations to the Scam Accusations board.

Anyways, what can we expect in the power department, any special preparations we need before delivery we should take note of? Will I need to call an electrician to run dedicated lines to the rig?

no. 4-5 Babyjets per residential household outlet. even more if you don't OC it.

Well, I was wondering about the denser 2TH rigs they probably will roll out later. 5 chips in one case would approach normal outlet limits, correct? I'm trying to balance my concerns of space and outlet limits, while maximizing hash rate. I prefer not to 20 individual boxes strewn around the house, and would rather have 4-5 rigs that are easier to keep my eye on.

Preferably, whatever configuration that would best balance typical outlet loads and hash rate would make me happy. If that means 5x 4 chips overclocked per rig on one outlet I need to know, if that's a greater cumulative hash rate than what 4x 5 normally clocked chips per rig on one outlet can do (assuming it's limited by outlet power draw).

my electricity cost is not so much the concern, but the maximization of a balance of hash rate and power draw per outlet whilst minimizing space usage is my goal.

the 350W power draw listed on the site is the OC'd draw. the nominal draw is 250W, i think. normal household outlet is 15A x 120V = 1800W. assuming the 350W, that would be where i got the 4-5 rig number from. 5 would be pushing it as normally you might want to be 10-20% below the max. this also assumes nothing else on the circuit elsewhere nearby.

the big puppy apparently can't be OC'd but i have much less info on that one.

Should probably offer cheap hosting solution as well.

There are group would be customers who would rather not deal with maintenance and import tax/custom duty.

HashFast,

When are you going to release some more information about the product? e.g. real product photo's etc

Looking forward to see some of the real deal!

I'll take it one step farther.

There are going to be haters with personal motives for new entrants to fail due to the zero-sum game of mining hardware.

If HF can arrange for someone with a tough hide and knows the forum landscape to be the pin cushion/arrow target that deflects/mitigates the harsh criticism of the product and the negativity, then that is something that is valuable to the company. Frankly, I wouldn't want that job, but hats off to Cypherdoc for standing up for it. Wrestling pigs in the mud just isn't my idea of a fun time.

Since he really believes in the product, has a sizable hardware investment with the company, and has some NDA insight I am sure, it must make the role as a believer easier.

whats the point of being a paid sponsor? that sounds pretty stupid to me.

Well, I'm stupid enough, and it's late enough, for me to venture an answer.

These forums are fever swamps. They're treacherous, full of pitfalls, wild and feral animals, and the inexperienced can easily find themselves unwittingly up to their neck in the infested waters, their feet stuck in quicksand, simply by misspeaking.

To find someone who understands the byways, is respected by some of the more ferocious of the potential hazards, and has a genuine high opinion of a product is worth a lot to a new vendor. He's the tip of the marketing spear.

If he discloses that relationship, and can still retain his identify with, and empathy for, the community, he's worth something to the community as well.

That's just my opinion, of course.

Unsurprisingly he's earned that exact same response twice for his sponsored efforts.

Can we just split the difference & say "admitted shill"? Deal?

of course you can't have anything else on the same circuit which may cover multiple outlets. but then again, no one is recommending household use.
