What power supply to buy for mini doge miner + expand later

Mine are scattered around in the house on 120v. 3 in basement on an 850w ps, 2 are solo with the Goldshell single ps, and 2 in my office with an 850w ps. My heat has barely kicked on as these are in rooms I use most.

What about those? I bought my second kit from them for gpus. HP 750 Watt Platinum Power Supply 110-240V GPU Mining PSU Kit

They do not charge sales tax even when paying with fiat btw.

These are good too but I wouldn’t run 3 box miners on a 750w. The 1000w version would be ok for up to 3 though.

If you have the option, in my experience, 240V is always better. The unit will perform at its best at 240V and less resistance. That PSU that JoeJoe recommended is fine for both 120V and 240V but I’d go 240V given the option. Good luck :v:t3:

There are more options on Parallel miners 1000wt as well. Platinum effeciency server type psus are so great. I run two HPs, so happy with them! 94%+ efficient. I think on server psus you can do more than 80% of maximum power safely, but I am not an expert.

True. But 3 Mini-Doge are 699 (and Goldshell says ±5%). A 750w is just 7% over. I’ve seen some videos of them running quite hot with 3 box miners. Doable, but I wouldn’t feel comfortable with it. With a 1000w? Sure!

Great information always posted here. It’s why I love this community.
Also consider that if you aren’t able to remotely access your miners GUI, then the occasional restart may be necessary.
I prefer to use an individual psu for each of mine. Then I can deploy smart plugs and restart them from an app on my phone as needed.
EVGA ATX gold. Some come with a jumper included, but they aren’t that much more expensive to buy. The old paper clip trick still works too.
Of course you could use one smart plug on a single psu that powers more than one device, but restarting would cause everything on that plugs power supply to restart - :clock3:

If you have a computer always on at home, like I have one with gpu mining, you can try Anydesk app, it will let you remotely connect to the pc at home and administrate the home network including ASICs.Individual psus sound like a waste of power to me.

Good point. I only have 4 boxes. 3 are a pain in the rear sometimes. Restarting them usually takes care of the issue. I’m not near them constantly so being able to power them off and back on right from my phone is a problem solver for my setup. I prefer to only restart the problematic device as opposed to all of them on 1. If it’s doing it’s thing, I try to leave it be as much as possible. Thanks for the information. - :clock3:

What kind of problems? I didn’t know min Doge miners have a technical issue.

@Alexcool not sure.
I have 4 mini doge and they’ve been hashing since I bought them about 2 months ago - no problems and no restarts needed. But I have a hs-box I had to restart a few times. Stable now though.

Got the power supply and switch in the mail today. I’ll get set up tonight and the mini doge should be here tomorrow.

Connectivity issues that are more about the gateway that they are plugged in to as opposed to the miner itself. Restart and back to normal. My CKBox is zero problems on wifi since day 1. - :clock3:

90$ for New apw7 1800w

Use litecoinpool or F2pool? I will use crypto.com wallet to start so I can get some interest eventually. I do want some doge coin though. If I use litecoin pool and only get lightcoin then have to pay a fee to transfer it into doge is it worth it? litecoinpool seems to do beeter according to this.

Hi All, What’s the best power supply if I just want to power 1 mini dodge? Thanks!

I did a comparison on this recently.

viabtc.net is looking good also. Has anyone used it?

I haven’t, however I have been looking at it…
