Hi,
I am new to mining, and am about to get towards the end of the month a new Antminer S19 95TH, so, as I have some time to prepare/plan, I was wondering if I could get some advice on how to set it up:
- I was told that I need a separate line of 220V, however I was thinking to get a step-up trafo from 110 to 220V having 5000W. Is this OK?
- I understood that the antminer comes w/o any power cables, so I have to get 2 power cables (similar like those for PCs) from what I could see on its picture, correct?
- what software do I need in order to have it mine properly?
- in order to configure it, is it possible to connect it to a monitor and a keyboard?
- I saw on a tutorial video that the miner needs 2 cables, so would I also need a UPS to plug those cables?
- as sometimes most of tutorial videos are pretty old regarding pools, and software used, is it possible to get a link towards a more recent video?
- do I need a cold wallet? I have right now 2 wallets on Crypto and Shakepay, however I understood that more securely would be a cold wallet, so which one would be a good one to use?
I am going to consult also this forum and see what I can find as information.
Thank you

I assume you have a usa based home due to 120 volt power.

Transformers are hard on the wiring.

if you bump a 1 line 120volt  wire to 240 via a transformer then pull 5000 watts you will very likely melt it.

consult an electrician ask for a 220-240 volt line with a L6-30r receptacle

it will need 10ga  wire and a 30 amp 2 pole circuit breaker.
