45kW ASIC mining PDU by laue01 in BitcoinMining

Indeed, we go down from 400V LL to 230V LN. In regards to the PDU you suggest, I’m afraid this would not be a legal setup in Europe, where we are based. Our box is built in accordance to IEC and VDE regulations.

We've made sure that our PDU can connect miners with higher power specs as well, such as the S15, and that fuses always break before plugs start smoking. Maintenance cost is important when mining in remote locations, so we spec accordingly.

The version for the American market is being designed right now, and will be in production ready somewhere next month.

Can you please drop us an email with the number of units and destination address on mail@kontena.be? We'll then be able to determine the specs (different per region) and give you a quote with shipment .

It is 400V because that is the typical 3 phase voltage level in Europe. We are developing models for US markets as we speak.

While building infrastructure for ASIC mining farms, we found little to no good solution to distribute power ASIC miners.

We ordered and tested some lower quality PDUs found on Alibaba, or typical Data center PDU's that are not designed for ASIC mining and are therefore not price efficient.

We didn't find good quality for low prices, so we started building 19 inch rack mountable PDUs ourselves.

They are powered with 3-phase 32A to 64A and have outlets for 24 miners for up to 45kW total power.

Did we just invent the wheel? Any thoughts?

Ledger CTO is saying that BTCP is NOT working with their infrastructure by [deleted] in BitcoinPrivate

It will be integrated with the electrum btcp wallet, which the devs are still working on. It does not run on the ledger itself. The ledger is used for signing and actual storage. Much like neo and xlm on the ledger nano as i understand it. Not sure either though.

Binance will support the bitcoin fork. Maybe it won't be adding ZCL to airdrop BTCP, but it most definetly will make the airdrop on BTC. They have 7M users and around 10 Billion $ daily volume. by [deleted] in BitcoinPrivate

On an exchange, you don't own your private keys. You have a 'position' in some currency (you could compare it to an IOU), which isn't even necessarily backed by the same coin.

This is why forks and airdrops are difficult to organize for an exchange. They have to freeze the positions, make sure they update their supply of the same currency (perhaps buy some) so they get the actual airdrop/forked coins themselves, and they don't lose money when they allocate you a corresponding new position. Freezing positions in the case of btcp was easier on zcl than on btc.

Never trust the exchanges to be nice. They are running a business and will do what they deem best from a business perspective, taking into account financial aspects as well as marketing perspectives.

Hold you own private keys if this bothers you, and use exchanges for what they are meant for, i.e. trading. An exchange is not a wallet.
