Plug one of these into your 30 amp electric dryer outlet.  Bam! Enough power to feed 2 Neptunes!

Do you want bitcoins or dry clothes?   Grin Wink

heh thanks for the link....may have to do that but still want to know if a 100amp panel with NO central a/c load on the house and only a clothes dryer and stove 30amp (I can make the dryer gas if I have to) ok to do or not

1) elec code wise running 2 of these beasts off a 100 amp panel code wise

2) I have to live there don't want to wake up tyring to an elec fire (or not)

anyway thanks if anyone off hand knows something on this (would not to sound like a complete idiot when/if I talk to an electrician on concerns)

If you can change the dryer and stove to gas, piece of cake. Each of the 2 220volt ckts will run 1 Neptune.

But if it's a fairly modern house it's also easy to upgrade. You just buy a 200 amp main breaker. You need to make sure the line coming into the main meter box from the pole, and the short trip from the meter box to the main breaker can handle it.
Check the gauge i.e. 0000?, then internet gauge/current charts.

200amp boxes are usually larger because of the average number of outlets, but if you have a few unused slots in you 100A you can use them for your miner circuits.  If the existing box is full(or nearly), Then you can just add another 100A, 0r 50,etc sub panel.  It's easy but electrician's fees add up quick. Best to buy an electrician friend lunch and maybe a BTC tip. Or YOU do the work and let them check it out.

yeah...previous to this I talked to a utility company guy next door they no longer run lines for free to your house from the street (prob 60 yards) ..if I pay to have it upgraded to a 200 amp panel with electrician costs and utility costs from the pole it would be around 3K and of course my elec is .15 cents too....fun fun

also I have to figure load on the panel with 2 neptunes so at least in the summer/fall it is air conditioner (wall unit) 24/7 to keep up that likely would need to be 220v too

anyway have other places I can host it (legit companies of brothers) so will prob do that

Thanks pretty much what I thought
