#bitcoin mining since 2015. Securing the blockchain one block at a time. Mine ➡️ HODL ➡️ Buy MOAR Miners ➡️ Mine

[Matt 👷‍♂️ 21M⛏ @BBlockchainCEO]

PSA: Bitcoin mining is NOT a lottery or useless guessing game.

Mining is solving for a very difficult unique cryptographic solution that:
1) Locks a block’s transactions making it immutable
2) Locks the time order of a block to the prior and former blocks (“blockchain”)

@BhavishaPatel @gladstein @fox13seattle That’s exactly what they say in the sci fi movie right before it explodes

@btctwatterpants @BitBuyBitPod @JonPDiGiacomo @StotheBandaD Awesome. I feel privileged to have been part of your journey. Awesome to see you regularly paying it forward? It’s what the pleb mining ethos is about!!!

@hhornblower95 @agelston @2fargone87 @JasonPLowery I love it when @agelston and @hhornblower95 argue. You guys should do a live debate on spaces

@btctwatterpants @BTCTugBoat @slush_pool @RoninMiner @pumpguymike @econoalchemist @HodlTarantula Ha true.

@GoingParabolic My cable mgmt style results in more anonymous transactions. The authorities can’t figure out where the transactions go! It’s my own mixer at the source of block formation. 😂

@yeibrt @CressonMiningCo Mostly s19j pros

New container fired up! #Bitcoin #Bitcoinmining Airflow and temps look great so far. But some voltage imbalances to track down. So only at about 75%.

@CressonMiningCo My favorite is this one.

@CressonMiningCo Yea. My best startup and troubleshooting tools are my infrared heat camera and my plug in voltage meter

[Matt 👷‍♂️ 21M⛏ @BBlockchainCEO]

@CressonMiningCo With no loads everything had good consistent voltage. We tested all three phases on every pdu and they were good. Once we loaded it up we had a pdu breaker trip and checked voltages again and that’s when we saw the imbalance. No smoke 💨:)

@BITCOIN_RAIL @btctwatterpants Yea here an old video before we put in racks of what is behind the machines exhausting hot air.

[Matt 👷‍♂️ 21M⛏ @BBlockchainCEO]

@PeterMcBTC Great question. Not sure yet. I suspect it’s a problem with a 480>415/240 step down xfrm. But could be further upstream. Will be troubleshooting with electrician tomorrow. When I fully loaded up one of the xfrm I was seeing 270v on one phase and 200v on another. No bueno.

[Matt 👷‍♂️ 21M⛏ @BBlockchainCEO]

@BITCOIN_RAIL Nah. Not at all. Plenty of paths for the air to get to the intakes. Not unless you literally have a bundle of wires directly covering an intake

@OGBTC @NishantPatel_MD If you look close there are some cable ties! 😆

[Matt 👷‍♂️ 21M⛏ @BBlockchainCEO]

@btctwatterpants @NishantPatel_MD It’s my patented “spaghetti” wire management technique. Few. @bkitch07 loves it! 😂

[Matt 👷‍♂️ 21M⛏ @BBlockchainCEO]

@NishantPatel_MD Proof of work! Thanks for the help!

@BTCTugBoat @btctwatterpants @econoalchemist @halobend @Fula_coin @RoninMiner @BITCOIN_RAIL @HodlTarantula @pumpguymike @hodlonaut @slush_pool It’s largely a potential electrical code nuance/issue because standard power cables and plugs (c19, c13) aren’t rated above 250v. If sized right they run great. But it’s just a thing to be aware of

[Matt 👷‍♂️ 21M⛏ @BBlockchainCEO]

@BTCTugBoat @btctwatterpants @econoalchemist @halobend @Fula_coin @RoninMiner @BITCOIN_RAIL @HodlTarantula @pumpguymike @hodlonaut @slush_pool I have a few racks on 277v (480/277 3 phase). Avalon stock PSUs run on 277v per the label. Whats older machines (pre m30) run on 277, but newer ones don’t unless you get the specific 277v PSUs which I have running for my whats… 1/2

@BTCTugBoat @btctwatterpants @econoalchemist @halobend @Fula_coin @RoninMiner @BITCOIN_RAIL @HodlTarantula @pumpguymike @hodlonaut @slush_pool Stock S19s are not labeled for it but they run good on 277v. I have a bunch going on a year running on 277. Also you can get after market PSUs spec’ed for up to 277v. It’s definitely way simpler than getting a secondary stepdown tx. 2/2
