Hard mods = hardware mods?
None that I've heard of.

The M3 are quite power hungry vs. hash rate,
so I guess you need close to free electricity to turn profit

no hard mods aviable outthere?

i got 3x new m3. is it even worth using them today ?
i havent updated firmware, they are all batch1 , got them new, never had them used because i got homeless , wasted half btc on them for about 3 years ago

hmtech.co got me some m20s psus
mention me and bitcointalk as he helped three or four of us.

I purchased
1 m3
10 m10s
2 m20s
1 m21s
most from them.
They were okay maybe a 6 or 7 of 10 for me.

Any chance you can point me to a source for M10 PSU's? I need 4 desperately in a farm in Colorado.
They did message me some months ago stating that the Chinese government was going to tax BTC, so they were considering moving the farm to Iran, I said , no thank you and asked to ship my miners, which they did, 28 of them without power cords, Ha.
One of their farms had stopped hashing months ago but a second one was working as of the 1st of January.
Too bad, other than that I had had good experience with them.

They appear to be vanished.
They have been silent on their Telegram channel as well... 
I left the channel because there was only random spam posted

Any news on Pango? pangolinminer.com has been down some days and at least 1 of their farms shut down a couple of months ago for sure, I had miners there that had to be moved.
Hope they didn't go away, I had decent experiences with them.

thanks man! appreciate it. I lost 1 board on my s17+ so before I pull the plug on a s19 wanted to shop around
I didn't want to start a new topic, but can someone link me to a valid legitimate pangolin miner website to look at a new miner purchase?
Manufacturer: https://www.microbt.com/?locale=en
Distributors:
https://pangolinminer.com/557-2/
and
https://whatsminer.net/shop/
However, stock is extremely limited.

He goes by Oliver I believe for us english speakers and is pretty active day to day. Not sure that says much about his physical freedoms though.
Pangolin has had its issues. But there are more ways to order and get whatsminer goods.
Miner Expert -- https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/miner-expert-2706610
OffordScott -- https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/offordscott-1449095
both here and on telegram have them in stock
if you are in china
Miner Expert is run by Grace Zhou. Well she is the front man so to speak. She has been a good seller.
Does anyone know the current story on Dr YANG? HAS HE BEEN SET FREE?

I think Dr Yang, CEO(?) is still in police custody, which is not ideal.
But are whatsminer still shipping and manufacturing all good?
thnx

208V, which is on the low end.
208v isn't low enough to toast those PSUs, but running them on unregulated voltage can easily kill them, depending on the electricity infrastructure, voltage drops could be so severe and that 208v point might not have been there all the time, there is a chance that you got a bad batch if that was the case we would be hearing more complains from more people, I am fairly active on all mining groups across all things internet (this forum, telegram groups, FB, and etc.) bad/low-quality batches are usually heard off in a short period of time, so I tend to kind of negate the batch issue, because there is no way that they would make only 6 bad units.
So my thought which is the same as the initial one is that the PSUs are causing the issues, I haven't looked inside a Whatsminer PSU but I am pretty confined that all new PSUs are pretty hard to fix or at least hey were not made to be fixed, but there is always hope, what I would do is get a used/new PSU and test it on all those units, for obvious reasons in somewhere where you know your voltage is stable above 200v.
They didn't all die at once, rather one at a time over a period of months. A few of them were already hashing at the much reduced rate of 30TH rather than their nominal 45TH, so they were already running at relatively tame current levels ... but a current overload due to brownout can't be discounted. I'll open up and do a close inspection of a few of those PSUs; I'm sure the hashing boards themselves are all fine, so I'm suspecting either the PSUs or controller boards at this point.
@Epoch
If they all died, could there have been a voltage drop, even way under 208 VAC? And thus, a high current in the input circuit could have killed the psus.
