or a retool from s21s to s21xps

   1 s21 = 200th
   10 s21 = 2ph
   100 s21 = 20ph
   1000 s21 = 200ph
  10000 s21 = 2eh
100000 s21 = 20eh

so it is 200,000 s21 units off line

or 300,000 s19xp units off line

either way power used drops a lot

about 710,000 kwatts an hour

or 710 megawatts an hour

retool of new gear could be happening

remember weather is warming up in the USA thus mining tends to slow a bit.

We do have a thread for this the 2025 difficulty thread.

Well, yes I thought it might be a large farm switching off somewhere to update or as you say re-tool. I guess if we see it spike back up that'll be some evidence of it but 40EH is a heck of a drop.

Do farms really contain 200,000 units? That in itself is wild. 710MW is about half a nuclear reactors worth.

In terms of power if you think of the total available hashrate it peaked at 0.907 ZetaHash. Its almost an incomprehensible amount of power usage even if it were averaged out.

I'm sure if it peaks again it'll break the ZetaHash barrier. Shocked

Mind blowing numbers...

the largest farm I know about where you can see google photos has 350 containers. about 300 units in each container or 300 x 350 = 105,000 s21s or s21xps

that is about 350 megawatts.

You can count the containers and there are articles on it on this forum.

Now that company has more than that 1 location but I do not know if you can view containers of gear on the other sites they have
