Hashrate mode — maximum in the PSU budget

In plain words: the bot squeezes the most coins, yet never exceeds the PSU watts: first it searches the maximum, then trims the extra PL while the loss stays under 0.5%.

How it works

  1. What changes

    The priority goal is hashrate, not watts. Then the bot trims unnecessary PL: if removing 10 W loses almost nothing — the power is taken; if it loses noticeably — PL stays. The rule: trim until the loss reaches 0.5%.

  2. Who it suits

    Cheap (or nearly free) electricity: maximum coins; the PSU budget stays strict — pl_total_max is never exceeded.

  3. How to enable

    In Telegram: /mode hashrate — the whole rig; /mode 3 hashrate — one card; /mode rig — back to rig-wide.

  4. Power re-allocation

    /balance run distributes PL limits across cards (squeeze each, then find the best total); /balance shows the current spread; /balance deep searches tighter.

"Loss under 0.5%" — what it means

If removing 20 W loses less than 0.5% of the card's hashrate — the power is taken; otherwise PL stays as is. The loss is measured by the bot under real load, not from manuals.

FAQ

Will the hashrate rise many times over?

No: hashrate has physical limits; the bot finds a rational maximum inside the budget.

Can the PSU be overloaded?

No — that is the first bot check: pl_total_max is never exceeded. To change the budget — /psu.

Is on-the-fly switching allowed?

Yes: /mode works without stopping the search; presets and boundaries are preserved.
