Efficiency mode — maximum hashrate per watt

In plain words: the bot does not chase "the most" but "the most per watt" — less electricity, slightly lower hashrate.

How it works

  1. What changes

    The bot optimizes for the hashrate/watt ratio, not for maximum hashrate. Usually that is a PL clearly below maximum: the card runs cooler and more economical while the hashrate drops only a little.

  2. Who it suits

    Expensive electricity or the wish for a "quiet, cold rig" — the economical mode saves a visible amount over months. Also when there is no hurry.

  3. How to enable

    In Telegram: /mode efficiency — the whole rig; one card — /mode 3 efficiency; /mode rig returns a card to the rig-wide goal. The current mode — just /mode.

  4. What about presets

    Switching the goal does not require a rebuild: already-verified presets keep working; new points are searched under the new goal.

The economics

Judge the difference on your own tariff: /table shows each card's efficiency (MH/s per watt) before and after — you see the savings yourself.

FAQ

Will the hashrate drop a lot?

Usually no: economical points are often a PL 30–80 W below maximum with a 1–3% hashrate loss. The bot shows specifics: /table.

Will the bot redo working presets?

No: verified presets keep working. New searches follow the chosen goal.

Is the PSU budget the same?

Yes: pl_total_max does not change, the spread stays automatic; /balance shows the current distribution.
