UPDATE:

A few weeks ago the retailer send back my defective hashboard.
They put my hashboard into a different S17+. This caused the miner to not even start hashing on any of the boards.
From what I understand this means that my hashboard cannot work together with hashboards from a different S17+.

Therefore I am left with 2 options:

• 1. Do nothing and have my miner run with 2 "new" hashboards
• 2. Send my miner in, and receive a used S17+ as replacement

Option 1 will leave me with 2/3 of a new S17+
Option 2 will leave me with 3/3 of a used S17+

I am not really sure whats better, given that 3/3 of a used S17+ may have a shorter lifetime compared to 2/3 of a new S17+.


Any thoughts or recommendations? I am eligible for a used replacement miner  until December 2020.
