How To Use Bitminers - FrezZy - 06-12-2020
HOW IT WORKS
Step 1.
You purchase a bitmining shelf from your F4 menu to "host" the mining operation. The shelf requires a power source, that you must connect using the power cables.
Once the power source is active, the shelf can be powered on by using the interactive 3d2d screen.
You can connect a power source (generator, solar panel, rtg) directly to the shelf for "smaller" operations. If you connect a power combiner to the shelf, then you can connect multiple power sources to the combiner.
Step 2.
Once active it can be upgraded and must be maintained. Temperature rise the more miners you have and your shelf risks overheating if you don't buy cooling upgrades.
There are 3 levels of cooling which can be purchased in the F4 menu. Drag and drop the shelf to upgrade and the screen will show your level accordingly and cool down better.
NOTE: Miners can still overheat with full cooling and max miners. Turning off the mining shelf entirely in the right corner on screen will also cool down the shelf while it's turned off!
Step 3.
Power sources work differently and generates different watts/per sec. Fuel generator must be maintained, while solar panel must be placed outside and the RTG is unmaintained.
Drag a power cable to a power source and then attach the other end of the cable to the shelf. Solar panels and RTG are automatically on once connected, the generator must be filled with fuel and turned on.
Step 4.
Buy single miners from the F4 menu to upgrade the shelf with more miners.
UPS upgrades are available as power supply to the shelf. One power supply (UPS) enables a new row of 4 miners.
RGB upgrade beautifully lights up the shelf, fans, keyboard and power supplies. Can be turned on/off from the shelf screen.
