exciting news for me, I was able to find a landed and never used foghashing B6Dpro. after the transaction was finished he even gifted me a 104T S19jpro. this should get my infloor heating system underway in short order.
Background: I have a 2000 sqft newly built and well insulated shop in Ontario canada, and have dreams of heating the floor using a few immersion miners. the new addition takes up a little space but should be an excellent source of heat.
Is Bitcool generally accepted as the best option or are there acceptable alternatives? as a canadian it gets a little more complicated to aquire it. I have a couple electrical designers who have suggested that I should source some transformer oil, but my understanding is that needs to be in a sealed container as it will absorb moisture from the air. love to hear your thoughts, and I will start a thread with some pictures of the build as it comes together.
Happy to hear this. Why is dielectric oil more complicated to get in Canada? I’ve only ever run Bitcool, so I can’t speak to alternatives. Perhaps @Cody or @HashrateHouse has better experience?
Yeah Bitcool is fine, but Fog Hashing sells their own oil that i’ve used and it works fine as well. And @HashrateHouse uses yet anther version of immersion oil that also seems fine, but i can’t remember the brand. I would just stick to one of the major brands and not try to reinvent the wheel
I don’t know about moisture absorption, but I don’t think its an issue.
Consider getting a few more machines and then downclocking to make them more efficient. 6 s19j pros at half power is like 3 s19xp machines and more reliable. And then you also wont need as much fluid.
