Well got a reply from Innsolicon sent them the above. The 6c USD per kWh I quote below is MAYBE SOMETHING I could dig up in Canada, but iffy, this is from some folk
that are 'grandfathered' in at such rates already. So I was using below the most OPTIMISTIC values I could glean. Also, the ROI is a stretch in reality, but give you some
basis to see how far you MAY need to go at current BTC price and difficulty. The unit below is the Innsolicon T30 at 30TH and 2,200 watts. I assume others could get this
unit from them in the next couple days at below if they were to ask, but unsure. Anyway. Below is a 30TH unit at 2,200 watts, shipped to Canada ($50 shipping assumption) and
added the 13% VAT for Federal and Province combined for Canada. The 'supposed' $50 setup 1-time fee to the data hall. Etc. Again, this is my most 'optimistic' view on a data
hall at 6c kWh vs the mostly? only? I've found in the USA at 8c kWh USD. But again, with the 27.6% tariff and import fees combined in the USA that has its own issues even
at 6c kWh in the USA.
I also work with other companies in the US who's hosting costs are under 6c.
The issue with getting low cost hosting is your size, for a few machines no one is going to give the best price, you fill their entire facility or a portion of it and you'll just end up paying a few percent over their costs + labor.
As for importing; yeah the tax sucks, but there are ways around it legally. But again for just a few units it's just not a possibility or worth it. I think the last import from China of PSU's (with everything classed properly) came out to a 0.4% MPF. Basically just paying customs for processing the shipment.
Well, still moot question IMHO. I'll never be large enough even with 10 plus units of the newest variety in BTC/Alts or whatever to get in your ballpark.
Good for you, however.
On the other hand, as you can see above, the 6c kWh in Canada idea on my above post also came to a dead and screeching halt.
So it goes. But a lot of folks who did mine also were in HOLD mode of whatever btc/alt coin or flavor etc. With the majority of miners being small miners
that held I can't see large miners in any way HODL'ing, for one thing, it makes the whole tax IRS thing a real mess, accounting wise if you don't convert to USD daily.
So a lot of folks, even for the most part they were underwater 5% to 10% on their hobby ASIC miners and in HODL mode will come to a scratching halt. Again, IMHO.
Check my posts under my profile..gonna put up a thread of all the various moving parts with ASIC mining and my fears on such. Things got a lot more complicated from the
days you could be a small miner and mine and even HODL at a 5-10% loss for the future. Those days seem to be gone, can't even get off the launchpad now. Again, IMHO,
gonna be a lot less HODL'ing of BTC/crypto IMHO with small miners gone, also that will be the loss of a lot of 'Cheerleaders' for BTC/Crypto. Easy to be a Cheerleader ASIC small
miner with a take a small risk and get an ASIC and mine and HODL vs go big and get 15-20 of the latest ASIC units and go big. Just does not seem to have the same appeal to
the masses for BTC/Crypto adoption and such IMHO.
I hope I'm wrong.
End of rant.

but even then I have 36 solar panels also hooked up to help mitigate the cost.
