2. Adjust the wall plug voltage and remove the transformer

3. Lmao thanks for letting us know how to take the lid off! I was worried about that part 😂😂😂

4. Hey Vosk, I was wondering since you started immersion mining, would you be testing smaller immersion tanks, that could be used in a regular residential situation. It would be nice to see some options for your typical everyday miner who may want to expand into large ASIC's but are worried about to heat and noise. Would be cool to see smaller models.

5. This is very bad example of submerging mining. Greatest problem here is inefficient spacing. instead of 9 miners you could submerge double the size in that spacing.

6. Love that intro, and seeing how it all slowly came together.

   Love following, and learning from your journey, fam.

   🐕

7. Hey Vosk, research capillary wicking…regarding the power and network cables…maybe source of small “leak”. Starts slow, but then will start to fill up your power dist units and LAN switches.

8. The liquid leak is due to the ethernet cable that leads the dielectric liquid out of the tank. I say this from experience, my two miners did the same thing.

9. How much this setup cost

10. How many 3-stacks can you fit in there? It looks like you could create 2 rows of 3-stack units. Not sure how long your garage is though. Im guessing you should be able to get 2 rows of 5 long and 3 high. 2*5*3*8=240 miners

11. Ok maybe take the gloves off before grabbing your PDU. Lol.

12. Mr. Tails, just a few suggestions, if you don't mind.

    Maybe put a wall/ring of chicken wire around that condenser thing, to keep the leaves away. It would relieve much of the burden of having to run your leaf blower more often; as well as it being in the back of your tail that you need to check it again, and again.

    Fix that leak! Don't just keep topping it off! Like one of your high performance cars, you wouldn't just let a leak persist, and keep topping off the oil. It will only get worse! You wouldn't want to walk in one morning, and the oil is EVERYWHERE. If that happens, you're gonna need TRUCKLOADS of rice to put them in. hahaha Thankfully, it looks like it's on a standard pallet, so maybe you can just rent a fork lift or, carry-all, and jack it up. Of course have a human do it, cuz I don't think you can reach the controls, and you don't have opposable thumbs. Move it a couple feet back, so you can service it properly this time, and anytime in the future. Don't sit on maintenance that NEEDS to be done.

    Lastly, are you going to plant any crops with all that land? How many bones have you buried there?

13. Just curious, how come the miners are underclocked? Could you not overclock them since they are being more effectively cooled in the liquid?

14. whats the status of the solar farm because i feel like I've heard talk about it for awhile now. just curious

15. Thats the same spot mine leaked. I had to put a cup down there until I bought the permatex leak sealant to seal it up. I'm actually done with this company and bought a different unit. Glad I bought only 1 system to try before deploying a massive setup.

16. Only if I had that kind of money to do that. 😀

17. This is just mad, I know your sponsored and all and it is cool tech to watch videos on – but you'd have to be clinically insane to actually buy one, increasing your miner cost by 50% and then increasing your electricity usage by 20% and then making it really difficult and messy to do anything at all with the miners and giving all 5 of your miners a single point of failure and risking frying them (I bet if your radiator dies/trips in the middle of worknight your miners will keep mining until they boil). And on top of all that your reducing the value of your miner by 90% as like who wants a used miner covered in slime? I expect Vosk will hide this comment but hey ho.

18. The channel Old Sea Dog had a similar problem last week and I was so suspicious that the unit was damaged in some way that it consumed too much power. Send it back and get a replacement and see what happens. Also record your numbers to compare.

19. With so much empty space in there, do you really need to put the miners so close to the walls? it is best to allow enough clearance so you can service stuff later.

20. That had to be scary dumping liquid on minera

21. Let's go voss man 🎉

22. The bigges downside that this is a big extracost !
    But I like the "no noise"!

23. So you can access the back, the best thing you could do is get something like a pallet jack and move the whole pallet with the setup on top so you can get behind and fix it @VoskCoin

24. at the end of the day, when the smoke clears and the dust settled… how much did you spend, vs what you brought in? I might have missed the numbers…

26. I want to do this… oooooo

27. a air to water heatpump need to be adjustet when startet, or else it uses more energy then the rating says
    maby some adjustment can remove some of the power consumption

    next time make sure you can get a pallet jack under the tubs

28. That is one sweet set up man!

29. I like this. "Liquid mining" sounds super cool and watching the process was really interesting. Good work!

30. Those transformers are fire hazards

31. Wires could be siphoning the oil

32. Voskoin! Since you where the first person to pick up and show us the light on what the real deal was MXC! Can you please cover their latest diversion of transferring everyone over to XMXC for no reason and mining sensor tokens! You are the only one with the balls and knowledge to speak about this

33. DCX sucks. I bought from them and they screw you every possible way. Stay away from them!

34. Leaking or evaporation due to heat?

35. Vosk! Can you give a rundown of your outdoor electrical box and meter? 17:26

36. curious why you are running the miners with less TH and less wattage? Why not crank the TH all the way up since the emersion fluid is supposed to better protect the machines from overheating? does this mean the system isn't able to keep up with the heat?

37. as a electrical engineer 25 years I can assure you whom ever is recommending a transformer is utterly clueless.😆the manufacturer actually says this nonsense also? There is absolutely no reason to add losses (and additional cost) in the system by using a transformer to convert 240 to 120v when you have it readily available few feet away in your panel. The only reason you would ever need a transformer would be for example in European power systems that are straight 240v (they are without a split system 240/120 like the US) where you cannot tap 120v phase to neutral. The line frequency is not changed in any way by a transformer unless you are using a inverter or online ups specifically designed for this purpose.(those are really expensive in comparison) and have even higher losses..

    To connect this unit properly simply look at the data plate on the pump, and the outdoor unit, or check the specs in the manuals, they should be 60hz motors I assume. simply run a appropriately sized 120v feed directly from your panel to the unit.
    you will find up to (depending on the size/specs of transformer you were using) a reduction in power consumption of up to 20% by eliminating the unnecessary transformer..

    Myself I don't see any reason why anyone would purchase a small immersion unit? its is not going to gain you enough efficiency with just 8 miners to compensate for the constant headaches, oily mess, added maintenance, and system down time you will have if any of the components fail. (motors, heat ex-changers, leaking fittings, lost coolant, etc) let alone the miners downtime you will have while waiting for these (undoubtedly expensive parts) to arrive and install. Once you have your miners lubed up is not like you are going to easily throw the fans back on and run them on air cooling again while you wait for the parts to arrive.😅 Just my opinion.. I would be interested in seeing the power consumption with and without the transformer if you do end up trying it! I'm guessing the total losses using this system even without the transformer are many times any gained efficiency over straight air cooling. but its still pretty cool addition to your shed!

38. Fascinating! Please explain how unplugging and plugging back in fully submersed, is this not a dead short at the plug now that it is 100% saturated ?

39. @voskcoin Check into a uv dye kit used in ac repair. (should mix with the oil) You may be able to pinpoint the leak with the light and special glasses. Plus it would look cool on video if it works

40. I would have all popwer and network kit mounted on the wall so all the cables go straight up and stop the wicking.
    Also I would look into running the hot connection to the house so you can use the heat and reduce your bills, even if your just preheating the air/water

41. Can u help me make one

42. get a pallet jack and move the tank away from the wall.

43. Is there a small portable external pump you may buy? then drain 80 percent of the tank then move it fix the leak then done, and make sure when you buy more tanks to make a way for leakage maintenance, also i would love to see you start the solar panel thing
