Researching mining has taught me more about heat and electricity than it has computers or programming lol
me too. I now better understand airflow!
Yep not much to building a computer really when mining and definitely no programming lol
Electricity creates a ton of heat! As an electrician I can tell you that the first time I temp-powered a lighting circuit off an extension cord for only 5 minutes was the last time I did that haha. The cord melted and sparks everywhere because the large power draw was too much for the small cable. Making sure everything is rated for the power usage is one of the most crucial aspects of our trade ⚡️
@@mprior93 Yeah it does! Damn that's one way to learn lol
only the most efficient survive long term =)
As a father, there is nothing more rewarding than your son helping you in a task. That's what life is about.
This was a fabulous overview, dude! Loved seeing all the phases you had from beginning in your first studio up to the shed. So awesome!
Exactly a month after this video, mining profits got NUTTY! Been mining 6 years; Mid-May 2021 was a real fun time
yes they did. I'm still hodling for the most part, other than trying to earn interest on what I've already mined :)
This is the information I have been searching for! Thank you for making your videos and sharing you knowledge with us!
You are so welcome!
Yo been waiting for a electrical video :) Great work man
Hope you enjoyed it! Glad it may have helped a little.
i really needed this, i need to upgrade my basement electrical, i am running close to max for the 16A breaker on 220v and you really helped a lot so far, thank you and keep vids coming!
I love my tankless water heater. 12 years in and it is doing great
Rock on man. Yes love ours as well!
Thank you brother, great video !
I can imagine the hard work you had to put into this project.
Blessings,
Sam 🎵✌🏻
Watching this video really motivated me. Knowing people have the same problems 😂 I just moved my rigs into the garage, according to you I’m in step 2.
Thanks for this video. I’m at step 2 but this gives me an edge to jump directly to step 3. Thanks a ton. Great video.
Glad it helped!
Wow man, I'm really impressed. It's funny how us miners kind of go through similar paths of growth. Many of us do start the way you mentioned and I eventually got my operation moved to the garaged, grew bigger, and worked to upgrade my electrical. BUT 200 AMPS??? YOU FREAKING ROCK!! I'm jealous, yet proud, yet amazed lol! I upgraded to only 50A haha
Good video! Thanks for sharing and for the insights!
Thank you share with us so much details, appreciate.
Greetings from Brazil again, my friend! Awesome job with this video. I was exactly looking for this EMPORIA VUE kind of tool. Thanks for the advise and keep making excellent videos, bro.
Awesome video. Thx so much. This is what miner-to-be must be watching first
Thanks for all of the great information.
Thank You. Man your flooding my head with great ideas....
Glad to hear it!
Fantastic video!
Thx for the video in detail about the little things that u did. I'm in the homework side of getting into a new main panel and 240v. Once again thanks for the info on your videos.
Glad I could help!
Awesome video thank you for the sharing your experience!
You bet! Hope your ventures are going well.
great video!
epic video!thank you so much.i am before step 2 :D i have 6 3070, 3 1080 and 3 5600xt and the heat was nice in winter but in the summer i want another solution. so thx a lot again!
Very informative!
Subscribed your channel! Thank you.
This was a great video!! I'm actually on stage one. I have an s19 in my guest bedroom vented outside. We are looking for a new house and I'm hoping we find one with a shed like yours. Keep up the good work.
Good Job bro on the dig and research I'm an electrician and if we had guys that had half of your integrity my job would be much easier when wiring up a building!
⛏️💰⛏️💰💲
Really appreciate that. I respect your trade so much I’ll never touch it ha ha.
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it really appreciate it
great journey documentation, it seems it was not easy. As always happy mining
Thanks man you as well!
The most important subject, thank you for sharing your knowledge I’ve been studying this one quite a bit I upgraded from 6 graphics cards to 13 and now my circuits kept tripping so I’m currently running a extension cord from the kitchen to split the load 😇🚀😇
LOL, natural migration my friend. Just be careful :)
@@HashRaptor great explanatory video , you didn’t list link to buy these bigger shelf . Thanks
It’s too late now, but for other viewers watching in areas with a lot of thunder storms. Consider using a fiber optic line to extend your internet from the house to shed since it will be impervious to lightning strikes. For a couple hundred at most, you can get to Ethernet to fiber converter and any length of cable to run where ever you need the terminal to be.
That is great advice! Maybe I can pull through some fiber in that conduit. Although with the 90's my conduit takes, I'd probably break the glass lol...
@@HashRaptor It's a bit more hardy than you think. Quite flexible to the point of attaching a vacuum flag at the end and sucking it through. You would have to remove the ethernet cable anyway, and should always have a pull-string left inside going from shed to the house.
Also figure the fiber with sheathing is only 1/8 too 3/16 thick. Hence the flag and shop-vac option. But considering you do already have the ethernet in-place. I would just use it as the pull string, going slow, and with another person feeding it as I go.
The other option for you and Anthony would of been using POE outdoor rated ethernet. This has a ground sheathing inside with an exposed earth-ground wire that gets attached to earth ground. Usually at the building entrance box.
Very valuable video. I am thinking about to do the same, so you, as a front runner in this video shows us how we can do … appreciate!
Emporia vue is great, I'm running 8 clamps and I use it to track exactly how much wattage I'm using each month for taxes. I have all of mine run on 120v/20a circuits running 3.3kw/hr. I can quickly check on my rigs to see if any of them are down, but also I can see how my power load is spread and adjust as necessary. Huge upgrade.
Thanks for sharing, awesome! Hey question, did you have a discrepancy between what the "mains" showed and the total as measured by the individual clamps? I am still 400 watts or so off, trying to track that down.
@@HashRaptor mine seems to be pretty consistent. Though I need to bring in a killawatt and compare. I originally did an amp draw test with a clamp on meter and it was nearly identical, but like I said all of my rigs are currently on 120, hoping to run my next shelf on 240 and maybe then I'll see some differences or missing wattage. Thanks as always for all the info!
great info! thanks....
You bet!
great video, wish i had your setup lol
Ur a legend
Amazing video! Curious though, what is you kWh rate? You got solar to offset?
Great video. Really gives those of us with huge aspirations an understanding of what it takes to properly plan and execute such a project. I bet that trench was a PITA, even with your son helping! One small observation in the shed I saw. Isn't it against code to block a breaker panel or is that a commercial only rule?
Thanks so much! hmmm, never thought of blocking the panel. Didn't even know there was a code for that :). The shelf is on wheels though, so I can just roll it out of the way when I need to get in there.. I am thinking of redoing all of the shelves though soon, so should fix that issue. Take care my man!
Good Stuff
Appreciate it
Wow this is a proper mining shed Raptor :D Inspiration for my future one when me and my girlfriend get our first house I will have my man/mining cave mwahaha
Great work! have you thought about placing some solar panels on the foof to reduce energy consumption?
Any tips on handling the heat in garage during summer?
Very Informational! Thank you! Unfortunately I live in an apartment and only have 2x 15Amps that i can run 2x rigs from opposite rooms :( But, its a start!!
Wonder if I'd be able to add an extra 20 or 30Amp to the breaker.
The most important thing is that what your breaker rated for. Like mine rated for 25Amps and 220V so I can use only 5500W max
I'm about to add another 200 amp panel and a standalone meter to my basement mine. I had just 30amps available on my original panel and I'm able to run about 50 gpu's. I need more power!
Is it wrong to install an UPS(Uninterruptible Power Supply) before the electrical wall outlet? To protect my Mining Rig from power surges which often happens in our area?
So here in the UK (England specifically) My 120 years old tiny house has a 100amp fused input into the house breaker at 240v 50hz... 24kw?
What is the basic US input?
@hashraptor is it possible to use solar power to power the rigs?
nice video
Thanks
What are your plans for proof of stake? Just shift everything to an alt coin?
Just a small fact as a Canadian electrician, you need a minimum of 3' infront of the panel to be legal. Otherwise looks good
At 19:46 you show a Delta PSU. Where can I get a breakout board to make that functional? Great video. Saved me a ton of cash so far.
Hiw do you cook these in the summer or warmer climates?
I have the exact same laminate poster of Pulp Fiction you have in my office!!!
Hello, I see a lot of shed builds or garage builds. It often hot and humid here during summer - wouldn’t that ruin my rigs?
Hey dude it was a great setup, i appricate it, just want to mention one thing that your ethernet cables next to your electric cables . In very rare scenario when lighting happens your ethernet cables will burn . I might not be correct. Just analyzing ur setup i didnt see any grounding related.
What size wire was used for each 30a circuit?
I might have missed it, but what is your solution for surge protection? Thank you in advance, and great video!
Great question, I use surge protection in each PDU, and had to send back surge protection in the panel for a new unit. That will be replaced soon. I'll be sure to do an update when I get that in place. Also adding surge protection for the ethernet runs! Good catch!!!
How many watts do you pull in Total for your mining setup? I want to run 3 S19Js
I live in Phoenix, where the summer highs can reach 120F outside. Ive always had my rigs directly cooled by a mini-split, which draws a lot of power itself. Wondering your thoughts on running rigs in 120F ambient temp, like if I did a shed like you have without cooling.
The trick, which I'm still modifying as I expand, is to keep the air moving. If you can do that with the shade of a shed, I think you can pull it off. 120F is hot though :)
I’m interested in this as well. What are you using for airflow? I live in VA and while it doesn’t get quite as warm, I’m worried about the humidity and pollen/dust.
Maybe plant trees around your shed
@@speederc3662 in Phoenix literally the only economic flora and fauna is a cactus. I lived there for two years and the summer heat is oppressive. You only go grocery shopping at midnight because it drops to a bearable 100°F outside
Very informative, thank you! You might want to check the National Electrical Code. It usually required around 3 feet free of space in front of the electrical panel (the one in your shed).
What was the cost for the 30amp in the garage?
Hi. Your Mining Shed still up running?
Im wondering if you could help me. Im planning to invest in 30 T17 42Th miners. Each miner consumes 2310w and requires 230v to operate. I live in the UK which out socket supply 230v. Would i have any issues running all 30 miners at the same time?
How long did it take you to get the ROI?
What kind of wire did you run from the box at the house to the shed?
Oh man, great question. I can't remember the specs since I paid the electrician to do it. It was huge!
Did any of the electricians ask what you where doin in the shed?
You know they danced around it. One of the three point blank asked me if I was mining. Said he had another customer in the city with a big home GPU mining operation, so he was familiar with it. I would have gone with him, but unfortunately he wanted $10k for the same work I got for $4,060.
I have a question that I don't see anyone asking. How do you keep that shed cool or do you have some kind of A/C unit spot cooler for it?
haha, if you watch the build video playlist, you will see I've been battling heat all the time. Actually, check out the video that just posted today. I added a bunch of GPU's recently, and now that I am hitting 90+ degree heat, I'm having to setup a new Heat Management Plan.
@@HashRaptor You don't have to tell me about heat.... I am from Houston. We will have had more than a few summers hit 105F with 85%+ humidity.
HashRaptor has the best setups! Did you get an Electricak Engineering degree in college or something?
I have a bad feeling about those multiport outles with USB and surge protection in it.
It doesn't seem like anywhere near enough space to do all of those things properly, meaning the surge protection is almost non existing, USB supply very low quality and the actual outlets not able to carry reliably more than few Amps.
I am Amped for this content. I come for the Shocking Content. Just joking, but seriously, this content has Juice. Dr. Watts, hold my screwdriver please.
hoowww electrifying!
LMAO
what do you do for the heat in the shed ?
It is a battle. I balanced the intake vents with exhaust fans. I have a few shed videos on the heat if you want to dive a little deeper. It is tough :)
Hello Sir,
Sir I am From Oman i would like to know can i use Single Phase Electricity for my mining rigs i am planning to build 14-20 rigs each rig will take 12 gpu of 3080 Ti
Total power supply will be required 3 in each rig 1800W x 3= 5,400 Watts each rig.
Can i use single phase electricity?
How do I know if I need a new transformer or not
Just curious... why are you saying 110v and 220v? Where I am in the US, I get 120v and 240v... is it different from one locality to the next?
110/115/120/125V are all considered the same category in most residential US homes.
Same w/ 220/230/240/250V.
~208V is a bit different, because it indicates a commercial (or residential complex...which is effectively commercial) 3 phase power.
Modern electronics usually support the full range of 110-250V, although there is usually some cutoff to transition to the higher efficient 200+ V.
Ex: Many high watt Server PSUs can only output their rated watts at 200+V. Anything less and they can only output ~70-80% of their rating.
Old electronics used to have a little switch that you had to flip to tell it if it is being powered with ~100V or ~200V...and pray you never plugged in ~200V when the switch was flipped to ~100V.
How did you surge protect the rigs?
Built into the PDU's
11:40 did you bury a pull box?
Might not have the same number of GPU's (just got a single 3070 mining) but love being in the UK with 240v with 60 to 100amps total load don't need to worry too much about overloading a circuit :D
Very nice my friend!
How many gpus could we run in a house In The Uk? Using the wall plug
Do we need to get permission for crypto in Canada and America? or do just we need to pay the electricity bill?
For now, just pay the electric.
Note. *80% load is great for the longevity of the panel. keep in mind to balance your load as it will help with the watt reading at the service meter and keep your electrical cost at a minimum.
there are 200 amp CT amp/watt meters you can get off amazon that can be installed in your panel to monitor this.
Thanks for the tips! Is there one you would recommend by chance?
how'd you hang your mobo? simple zip tie?
so many questions. You said youd make a video going over the emporia energy monitoring system, have you any information about that?
how do you incorporate surge protection? I would think you would have a surge protector of 15 amps per rig just for safe keepings. but that wouldnt plug into a PDU. I'm new to the whole PDU side of the house. I'm switching to a single 240 40 amp breaker here shortly when I move into an apartment.
My 200amp panel was 3200$ , one quote was 6700$ for the exact same panel
I want this
I want to learn how to calculate my watts for mining, I mean how much I need
Hey, so start first by figuring out what size rig you want to run. I'd estimate 150 watts for each GPU. 200 watts on the safe side for most efficient mining gpu's. Then muliply by how many you want to run. That should get you started. You may come in well under that which is good :)
I wonder why you use 110V in the US, here in the EU 230V is the standard. Much less issues.
Very good question. Probably the same reason we don't use the metric system :)
I wouldn’t say less issues. Probably had a lot to do with Edison vs Westinghouse vs Tesla. Y’all can run smaller wire in your house because 230 is more efficient, so it cuts some costs. A lot of businesses here run 277/480. Fun bonus fact, we run at 60hz here in the states while y’all run at 50hz
Where is it illegal to look behind that panel cover??
Can you actually call the electrical company to come out?? What should I ask for?.
I tried to do this. Electricians told me 10-15k. Unfortunately the transformer that powers my house is in my neighbors property and it was a 250’ run.
What and how do you upgrade for 1,500,000 watts massive asic mining farm?
Definitely go talk with an engineer at the electric provider you have the facility at.
@@HashRaptor so this can not be done at your house I'm just trying to do research and I can't find a single piece of actual information on electronic set up for a big old asic farm
@@HashRaptor like let's say I have a big room in my house where I wanna buy and set up like 200+ asic miners how would you even do that and what on earth would you even need mostly wonder how long it would take to do and it's cost honestly
Good video and pretty setup. There is a concern with the shed though. You really shouldn't have the powerbox blocked by the racks. Code is technically 3 feet of egress typically, but at least having access to the door in a hurry is huge.
No ac unit Hash?
Not yet, just controlled air flow. May tinker with some AC soon to see what happens. Gonna test a bunch of scenarios.
Tips and tricks. You dont need a high capacity outlet just big wire and mountable breaker as a switch instead of unplugging it.
What you mining now?
The biggest question of all. How did you convince your wife to let you turn her house into a commercial mining operation?
By spending the profits on her ofc.
LOL, yes the profits helped for sure! But it wasn't easy during the crypto winter. During the winter, at one point the mining shed she decided was going to be duel storage for christmas lights and other stuff :).
He put his pants on. Her house?... 😂😂😂
Better yet, how can I convince my husband to help me to run even a small mining operation at our place?
@@snowwhite4863 spend some of the earnings on her
I have 3 questions that I have not been able to find answers to. First; What is the MAX number of miners that I can have on 1 mining account? Second; Is there any REAL benefit to owning a mining pool over just mining in someone else's mining pool? And lastly; Which mining sties can I deposit and withdraw for a Canadian Bank Account?
If you mean how many per Mining OS ( Linux based mining specific Operating Systems ) usually the first 2 rigs are free. After that you have to start paying. There are tiers with them costing more as the number of rigs increases. If you don’t use a mining specific OS there’s no cost other than any cost for the key ( Linux free, Windows you can get cheap keys )
There are tools for basic Linux/Windows that allow you to remotely monitor/control rigs. More work, but free. Mining OS’s are a matter of convenience, and that convenience is a trade off with a cost.
If you mean how many rigs/workers can you have on an address to a mining pool that’s unlimited.
Mining pools take a cut of miners payout. Operating a public pool would net you more than solo mining as the pool
Would have more hash than your farm alone. ( if others use your pool )
If you have a popular pool you can make decent returns.
Ming sites don’t pay out to your bank account. You have to send your coins to an exchange that offers fiat off ramps. That’s all on you, meaning pools don’t handle any aspect of that. They just pay out to your wallet.
Trying to find out what the point of all this, these devices
Can you break down the total costs please
Funny you should ask :). Video posts tomorrow morning with complete overview and costs. Hope it helps.
Where are you located. $500 to dig all that. Sweet!!
Hey, I'm in NC, Southern United States. I had a quote as high as $700.
@@HashRaptor thanks for the reply. Nice shed. I’m in Delaware. So somewhat similar climate. Love the setup. Great progress photos too.
also, i saw your metering method. cool device. but using 1 clip on the 240 volt 30 amp breaker is not accurate. clamping to only 1 leg of the 240 volt will only read that one leg. what if on the trip light bar thing your using 1-240 plug and 3-120 volt plugs? the 240 volt with only be reading on 1 leg which is fine because they should be pulling the same power. but the 120 volt plugs are on different legs on the 240 volt. what happens if by chance all 3 of the 120 volt happen to be plugged into the opposite leg of the 24 volt that the meter isn't on? so you would be reading the 1 leg of the 240 volt and the other leg will not only be pulling al 3 of the 120 volt plugs on it, there wouldnt be a clamp on that meter to read it.
Hey, so the 240 and the 120 are on different circuits so that can't happen. the 120v is on the 20 amp breaker I called out. Each 220 is on its own 30 amp breaker. Thanks for helping me clarify that! Let me know if there is anything else I am missing or can clarify, as I am NOT and electrician :)
You should make an Odysee account and link your youtube channel to it. It will automatically upload your videos to their platform also so people can watch you there.
I guess I can't mine in my townhouse since I have to ask them for permission to upgrade my electric
