How much is hosting where it is?
Thank you, but that sp20 at that speed should be pulling a lot less. Sure it's not shorting out on that bad die?
no idea, As it is in hosting , I dont have remote access to it, I will ask, They did say they would redistribute settings across the unit, I'm guessing this is what they meant.
EDIT, this is the reply I got.
You have 7 ASICs remaining. Since you paid for a certain amount of power, I reconfigured your machine so that it continues to use about the same amount of power despite having 1 fewer ASIC. In other words, I reallocated the power budget for the bad ASIC among the remaining ASICs. The higher the power supplied to each ASIC, the higher the hashrate. However, you get diminishing returns from adding power. That is, the higher the power supplied to each ASIC, the less efficient that ASIC is. When a Rockerbox ASIC is at its lowest power level, it might take 0.65 W to add 1 GH/s of performance. When a Rockerbox ASIC is close to its maximum power, it takes about 2 W to add 1 GH/s of performance. Your ASICs are now close to maximum power, which is why you aren't getting the same hashrate as before even though it's using about the same amount of power.
How can you be profitable at that high KwH price? THat's like $0.14 per Kwh. Might as well host it yourself.
I'd have run the miner downclocked at like 1.1TH which should have pulled quite a bit less.
Also not sure what they mean but when you have a bad asic/die on an SP20 it simply did NOT use power. I have had MANY SP20's and when I was messign with the settings and had a die out of spec or off, the overall wattage went down as the hash rate did due to the bad die/asic not working and using power.
1080watts opn an SP20 should have gotten you about 1550GH/s in normal operation.
I was thinking of maybe getting this miner if cheap enough to keep at that colo, but going by their price it's way too high.
Whoever buys this, can make money if they properly downclock the miner and disable bad asic/die and know what they are doing with it's tuning. Also make sure it's not shorting out anywhere as that could explain the wattage draw which should just not be happening.
Good luck on your sale.
