All has been good the last month.

the t21's work and the host is good.

also the L7 has been whaling on nicehash

So I am okay with my 5 units doing about 15kwatts

I am happy so far with iowamining so I am sending 1 more for a total of 3 t21's.

Far cry from the 200-250kwatts of gear I ran in Clifton.

So I decided to send a second t21 modded miner to my new host Iowa mining 2


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8NONR0Sn7g

he shows first t21 at 14 seconds of the video.

His prices are okay not great but I wanted to clear my house out I will do 3 with him cost will be about 

660 a month. They are very tight on margin but sitting idle they do me no good.

My apologies!! Rereading my post and i made it seem like i was dogging on altair. Nothing could be further from the truth. They are an amazing company and i am very grateful that they have the parts and pieces we need.

The 3d printing thing is only cause im a curmudgeon who prefers to do things themselves Tongue


Also, the old s19j pro power cover mostly works in a pinch. Thats what i have on my (2x now!) T21.

The mod is extremely easy folks, takes 30 minutes including firmware install. Buy dem T21s!!

I just got my first T21 working on VNISH firmware. Set it for 175TH just to see how it stabilizes. Very exciting! I too was quite upset when i opened up my T21's and realized it was 3 phase power. I am so glad that I am able to convert this to a good miner just using my S19j pro power supplies from backup miners. Im going to model a cover and put it up on thingiverse for anyone that needs it. Sorry altair, i really love and appreciate the bus bars, but im not gonna pay $20 for someone else to print me a cover. And unfortunately they dont sell the stl.


yeah I can understand not buying a cover.

but I can tell you Altair has helped me time and time again.

They also help this website a lot.

S21 is better than T21, most of our clients choose S21 instead of T21

the s21 is not worth the extra money than the t21 in almost every case.


model s21          t21
hash   200th vs 190th
price   3780  vs 3059.    you save 710 usd the mode is about 210 so you save about 500 bucks.
watts. 3700  vs 3700


the t21 ships faster

10 th earns 50 cents a day.  so it takes 1000 days to make up the 500 extra for the s21

and I am not counting that you can sell the psu that you pull out for 250-450 on ebay


https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256806711358754.html?


plus the power cord https://www.ebay.com/itm/186397914642?



So if you get 300 for the oem psu and the power cord you were paid to do the mod

this mean you save 800 on the t21 not 500 at 5 a day that is 1600 days before the s21 goes past the t21

So I kind of feel sorry for people that did not go for t21's and mod them like I did.



Now if you read all that I said I was pissed to start when I found out I need to mod my gear but I ended up making out better with the t21's

I think any hands on person should consider the t21 as pretty much an equal to the s21

I've listed the PSU cover as a variant on the T21 transformer listing
https://altairtech.io/product/bitmain-antminer-t21-transformer/

Do you know you shipped the covers out the other day and in under 10 hours bitmain shipped my remaining  t21's

I will soon have 3 of them up and running.

T21 stock firmware errors out on APW12, so you would need aftermarket firmware to run after swapping PSU from APW11 to APW12. For the fully assembled 'T21 transformer' we just ship with vnish on stock AMLOGIC control board. We have tested this build with both ePIC UMC and MARA UCB and it works with both, but they do add some additional cost to the build.

Both these CB options are nice since they have zero dev fees , so will likely pay themselves off over time.
But if you're looking to save on upfront cost, you can just flash luxos or vnish on the stock AML CB and it works fine.

Now if your T21 came with a CV1835 control board, that changes the math, since there is very few firmware option available. In this case, your best bet is to just remove the stock CB and replace with epic or MARA.

Yeah I had the cv1835.

I ORDERED and received some epic boards for the two t21 units coming this month.

I rave on about epic boards as I have found them to work better than any board I ever used.

I will end up needing 3 covers to prevent shorts. The electric resistant duct tape is sloppy looking.

I have a ton of psu's from my s19s.

I hope to end up with 4 or 5 miners once I sell off all my other gear.

One L7
THREE MODDED t21's
Maybe a gpu rig.
Oh two nano 3's

This would do about 14kwatts an hour.

Is the epic controller necessary? Altair does not list it as part of their conversion kit. I'm thinking I can use the stock controller and flash it to vnish.


don't know if that works maybe it does.

Just shipped you a couple of complimentary T21 Transformer PSU covers.
The bars aren't a shock risk but still pose short circuit risk.

That's super cool Altair!

Hey Phillip!
Any updates on this project? I have some T21's and some S19 PSU's. I'm thinking about trying this out. Frankenminer FTW!
Altair makes a cover for the power bars for this conversion. Not sure if they sell it seperate or only in their conversion kit.

Runs great so far.

I used black duct tape to cover the open buss  bars.

I am getting two more t21 s maybe I will ask Altair tech to ship a cover for them. I will need some more parts.

Get the epic controller and use firmware 42 or 44



I have run it 60th to 195th zero issues.

And on colder days it can do 17.8 watts a th at 160-190 settings.

Heat can make you do 17.8 to 21 watts
