Ok guys I'd like to hear others opinions on what I should do to increase my mine, I'm living at my parents house so I'm restricted as far as electricity outlets. My parents won't allow me to add/modify any circuits, outlets, etc, So i'm limited to 3, 15amp outlets. Currently I have 1 1000w HP server PSU running 2 antminer s3+'s. I purchased a antminer S5, Which I'm hoping to receive next week, I planned on changing out 1 s3+ and run 1 s5 and 1 s3+ off my current psu, Then I planned on buying another 1000w hp psu and another s5, and I'd be running 2 1000w HP psu's, with 1 s3+ and 1 s5 on each. Then I still have 1 more outlet open. I know each outlet should be good for about 1400watts, 1440 to be exact. After I get my 2 s5's and 2 s3+'s setup, What do you guys recommend to do next? I was thinking about maybe looking at 2 s5's per outlet, so 6 s5's in the end unless in the future I got a s7 but that's not anywhere near now. I'm really excited to get into bitcoins, But I know there's a chance of losing money, etc, Building cars been a hobby for along time so I've experienced wasting thousands and thousands of dollars already. Lol. If I got the 2,2,2 s5 route, Should I look into a different server PSU rather then these 1000w HP for future use?
Sorry for double posting, not sure if there's a rule on that in this forum, Is there a thread on this forum for general mining, like just talk to other miners about mining stuff so I don't have to make a thread?
don't worry about it try to keep 2x posts to a minimum .
you need to test your 3 outlets before you buy a lot more stuff.
a circuit in the circuit panel can have as little as 1 outlet or as many as 10 even more.
So your 3 outlets could be on 1 circuit and you can do about 1440 watts on one 15 amp circuit.
So plug in a light bulb on all 3 outlets find the circuit breaker and turn on circuit off.
It helps to do this with 2 people.
Make sure you know if the outlets are on 3 separate circuits. or 3 on 2 circuits or 3 on the same circuit.
