Mining may not be as easy as you think.

In the"Into the real minerIn the previous 2 issues of the series, we introduced theFlood season approaching, S9 can dig for how long?"And"When the currency falls, do miners have to switch off?". Today's article in "Into the Real Miner" will introduce you to some of the "pits" you may encounter in joint mining and mining machine trusteeship, and how to avoid them.

A form of joint mining

& have spent

First of all let's briefly introduce two forms of joint mining, when a thing is involved when there are more people in it the uncertainty will increase. As the name implies, joint mining is a mode of mining with multiple participants. And of course it's one of the uncertainties that miners have when they're digging.

Whether they are "part-time", "retail" or "professional" miners, they need a mine as an auxiliary to give them land to store and electricity to make the most of their work. But the miners may be worried that the trusteeship operation of the mine is not reliable, so several miners have negotiated together to find a reliable manager, who will find someone to set up their own operation team. This is the first form of joint mining.

The second form: another form of joint mining is that A has A lot of mining machines, and B happens to have A mine, so A and B hit it off and become partners as shareholders. After the cost of electricity charge, operation and maintenance fee, shelving fee and management fee for mine operation is removed, the profits are divided equally and can be settled many times a month. This is the second form of joint mining.

Since most miners do not have access to electricity and it is not possible to create a mine of their own, since the construction of the mine is expensive and risky, this form of mine trusteeship is the best option for most miners.

So what kind of pits do mine trustees run into?

& have spent

In simple terms, the biggest pit encountered when placing the miner in the mine for trusteeship can be said to be a power outage. Because different mines have different infrastructures, and because some mines may have historical problems that are difficult for miners to fully understand before trusteeship, sometimes all the hidden problems may become apparent when the miners' machines arrive on the scene.

So how do you avoid the "pit" before the actual costs are incurred?

& have spent

Miners in the trusteeship mine selection must be careful and multi-party investigation, before the choice to enter the site need to find specialized network engineers for acceptance, and contact the power plant to ensure that the power safe. Secondly, transformers, electricity meters, lines of the mine field in front of the frame also need to be detected in advance, in order to prevent power failure, line failure or do not match with the miners.

Another factor to consider: water. Water is related to the cooling capacity of the mine machine in the mine field. And whether the curtain of water can continue to open with water is sufficient have very big concern. If the water power is insufficient, you may experience repeated restarts due to high temperatures.

After draining the previous pit, when you get to the mine, it might look something like this (below)

The entire factory floor was covered in dust

In the face of this site, must also let the mine in advance to arrange people to clean up the dust hurriedly, otherwise, such as mining machine frame machine eat ash but will affect the service life of mining machine.

The trap of low electricity prices

& have spent

We often see 0. Xx yuan, including mine operation and maintenance information appear in various circles of friends and posts appear in various communities. The ads appear to be a good deal. There is no single charge for operation and maintenance, as these are included in the electricity bill. In other words, miners only need to pay for electricity, while operation and maintenance personnel don't need to pay for food and other daily expenses. But if miners are focused only on low electricity prices, beware of other traps, because low electricity prices are bound to be high.

Logic suggests that if electricity is cheap and mines are well run, there is no need to advertise. Good reputation and loyal to the old customer base and enough to make the quality mines full of machinery.

Is the mine "blackout" real?

& have spent

Of course, power cuts are the most common in the mining industry, but also helpless. Provinces and cities of the surprise inspection, reservoir water shortage and other conditions can lead to power outages, mining machine shutdown. When in addition to force majeure, here is actually some "tricky". Because the mine is mostly located in remote areas, ordinary retail investors and even some miners with small-scale mining machinery are not usually in order to observe the mining machinery frequently run to the mountains to check, so the market will appear some "false blackout" notice to deceive miners. This is usually done by notifying A miner that A power outage has recently occurred at the mine for some reason and that the mine machinery has to be shut down for several days. As for the actual situation, it is most likely to cut A's mining machine to another account for mining, and then change it back after A period of time when the "power failure" problem is solved. However, as the industry has become more professional and standardized, private accounts have been rare. Mines and customers are going both ways, and it is not worth losing the reputation they have accumulated over the years because of a bit of self-interest.

As it says, some ads will show hosting prices directly. In fact, this may also be a hidden mystery, miners and mine trusteeship to negotiate a good price, and has been put up after the mine. Some non-standard mines will "coerce the son of Heaven to make the princes", mining machine run for a period of time directly price. At this time if the miners want to move miners, these trust mines will not return the deposit for a variety of reasons. As a vulnerable group in the face of the mine, miners sometimes have no place to defend themselves.

Mine operation and maintenance problems

In addition to the above mentioned cases, miners may encounter problems such as inadequate operation and maintenance, insufficient repair parts, etc. Due diligence is an effective way to avoid these problems as much as possible, or things will keep coming back to haunt you.

The annual flood season has begun, and The 360 found a lot of problems when the mine was transferred.

For example, due to the plunge in currency prices in 2019, the miners in a mine in Sichuan province were not turned on for months and were surrounded by piles of coal after months of heavy rain. The result was that when the miner was transported, it was found that the interior of the miner was already dark, like a newly unearthed cultural relic. Because hundreds of miners are wet, they have to be put in a ventilated place to dry and then cleaned for testing.

In the wet season when the transfer of mining machine also some unexpected situation: operation and maintenance personnel on the shelf after the boot directly explosion, this is because the mine environment is not good, mining machine internal moisture dust caused by short circuit. (below)
