Quick question, the temperature listed at the very top of the dashboard, is that the CPU temp? Mine is at 75C. Is that a normal range? The miner hashboard stays around 60C. Thanks!

my full package: node fully sync

HASHBOARD #0 2.07 Th/s 53°c   1893 rpm   125 W

CPU 2.03 Th/s 56.11°C


System Utilization
CPU USAGE
1% Used. 6 Cores.
MEMORY USAGE
3.13 GB / 3.77 GB
DISK / USAGE
5.46 GB / 14.21 GB
DISK /MEDIA/NVME USAGE
381.87 GB / 457.45 GB
DISK /VAR/LOG USAGE
30.3 MB / 48.42 MB

Hmmmm, maybe I need to open it up and make sure the fan is spinning. I am assuming that there aren’t any screws I should avoid?

Super excited about these units! I did have three questions:
  • Do these units come with a warranty in case of unlikely failure?
  • How many of the "standard" units can be connected to a "full" version?
  • Does this support SHA256asicboost?

thanks!

John - do you ship these to shitcoiners? :/

Sorry, I didn’t mean to offend, I am new to setting up a device like this and the pool gives me two options for sha256. Even after a few google searches I still don’t really understand what asciboost is. I only want to mine Bitcoin (and I thought having a node would be cool), so I am guessing that means I should select sha256 as my algorithm…



Hey - yeah, ASICBoost bug was corrected in Bitcoin with the implementation of Segwit - Only shitcoins BCASH and BSV still suffer from this exploit which was kept in the protocol due to Bitmain's means to exploit it for mining profit (Jihad Wu being one of the supporters of the BCASH fork).

Anyway, it was a tongue-in-cheek comment, but you really shouldn't be supporting those forked shitcoins with these fine pieces of American engineering.

You really shouldn't be supporting pools that throw hash at those coins either. Try SlushPool.

Oh I had no idea. Thank you for this information. It’s good to know!

I will definitely check out SlushPool instead, sounds like a better route.

Thanks!
