As to what you should buy next.
S17 pro with 3 speeds
s19 pro with 1 speed
I would buy an s17 pro with 3 speeds.
Basically buying s19 pro with 1 speed means you are going to need to use aftermarket firmware.
I have a mix of
s7ln 1 piece
s9 19 pieces
s9i 4
s9k 4
s15 1
s17 1
s17pro 14
t15 1
t17 2
t17e 2
t17+ 1
avalon
a721 1
a1041 2
a1066 2
whatsminer
m10 2
m20 2
m21s 1
innosilcon
t2t24 1
t3t39 1
t3t50 1
and of all that gear above I need to run 6 units at less then top speed or they overheat and crash.
So to me I will get:
1 s19 pro
1 s19
work with them decide if they are okay. If they have 1 speed they are not okay.
I will look for a low priced s17 pro with 3 speeds.
I do not use any aftermarket firmware on all of the above
except for 1 s9 it has braiins.
having a 3 speed s17 pro or s19 pro if it does that is my choice going forward.
My 14 s17 pros are all under paypal warranty so I do not fuck with aftermarket firmware.
