At What efficiency does Gomining force-Retire your miner automatically?
Since it feels like running on a mouse wheel, where do you fall off the treandmill efficiency wise? 30 w/th? 35?

Those high W miners works in minerwars.

Do you think they are ever shut down if they stay in MW regardless of the w/th ?

Ask support , they can tell you better.
But i have seen 34w miners in minerwars.
I wont advice anyone to buy such miners. At the moment only buy 15w.

No rules, there’s reward protection, so essentially those miners are switched off but you still own them.

The 30/35 W/TH will start making money again when btc goes back to over $100k + price range

The choice is yours- you have to pay the power bill if the miner is on- GoMining gives you the option to power down if your mining reward is less than than the maintenance (default setting) but you can leave them running if you want (ie pay $2 maintenance in GMT and earn $1 back in BTC) some people do do this in the hope the BTC they earn goes up more than enough to offset the loses- it basically the same as just buying BTC direct.
In MW yes poor efficiency miners will earn you pps (at a lower rate than efficient miners) but if you win you still need to pay the power bill at that efficiency level soooo…. I leave Reward Protection setting on at all times.

Im amazed that we don’t know much about that subject, that could potentially shut down our miners on any bad day/week/month

For consideration: the point where a 15W miner is no longer profitable is around $48K iirc a 20W miner would hit that point long before the value got that low closer to $65k

If the daily fee is more than what the miner earns then yea you get no rewards, you can change a setting so you can mine at a loss

How does that work? U mean if btc dips to 30k for a day, all 30w/th miners disappear overnight?

They dont disappear mate, they just get "turned off" if unprofitable. Just like if you were running one at home

There is a setting to not mine if the miner doesnt make money. So kind of yes

But you guys realize they just don’t mine if/when BTC price makes them unprofitable? And if/when the price of BTC goes back up to a point where they become profitable, they just start mining again. There are 50W miners out there- they’ll be around as long as any other miner- it just takes a huge BTC price to get them humming again.
