What a dream, there is nothing that can beat making money out of your hobby, I'm jealous of you OP and I hope one day I can make it this big as well, I wish you the best of luck in good health, now I'm still struggling with few graphic cards giving me 180MH mining Ethereum, step by step though I have the patience.

Awesome and thanks!  Keep it up, its frustrating at times but in the long run we will reap the rewards!

Wow! Insane work!! are you guys still taking retail miners or what's your MOQ?

We might have a solution to offer you to test for free if you want to automate most tasks related to monitoring, calculating consumptions for each customer, invoicing, payments processing.

If you wanna have a chat, write me DM.

Best of luck!

Yes, setting these up aint cheap and there is costs to run facility like this so i think 10c is pretty good price. In europe its usually 10-11c(euro) /kwh


Ya 10.  Some peeps have cheaper and that's cool.  My rate is higher because of location but I have also spent tons on making it correct and filtered.  It's an expensive mining facility, but it is done correctly.  Not a clean room, but all air is filtered.

Nevada has 4 cents industrial rate.  What rate are you paying in your location if you don't mind me asking?

 I would like to someday move my rigs out from the colo which im paying 8 cents for to something thats more like 4 cents or cheaper and rent or own out a facility.  I'll need another crypto bull run like in 2017 in order to pull this off comfortably.

I have 36 nvidia cards a mix of 1070ti/1080ti  and 11 asics.

If you had to do this all over again? Would have you preferred to buy coins and not deal with all this work instead or actually still setup a mining facility.?



I sell it at 75$ a kw

I don't buy coins, and I am a born miner so no, i would not buy coins.  That being said there is a giant upside to that as you dont need a facility for that  Tongue









so you use the room in that place?
like a good idea by reviving the mining business at this time.
Hope everything goes well . if in my country I can give electricity licensing like a country and maybe I have made it here too.
good luck sir

I am capable of going to 12mw so if i went to that yes i would use about 20K square foot.  Thanks!


75$ for kw is cheap i think. its like 10c /kwh correct? In europe its mostly 6-8c/kwh (euro) at this moment and hard to get any cheaper..

I hope to follow suit shortly. Very inspiring story. Thanks for sharing it!

Any regrets so far?

Nope but don't take out a loan to do it.  If you cant flip the bill do it in pieces.  That's the only thing that saved me in 2018 was that I had no debt.



@dagarair

Are the louvers necessary for rain when the intakes are that far from fans?

I only have exhaust fans so they are not near intakes.  Louvers are necessary for a few city permit reasons but honestly theft would be up there.

Yeah I agree honestly as i am the same way as you I think.  Hands in 18 cookie jars type dude.  It will be cheaper to buy elsewhere but I get why you want to do it yourself.  Hell I am married with 3 kids and my place is a 2 hour plane ride from the family.  Good and bad i guess hehe.

yeah lol the advantage to mine is that the property is actually adjacent to the acreage I live on. The property is zoned so as to allow me to do residential or commercial. I have a few children as well ( 8 ), though our youngest is 21 but we also have 10 grandchildren.

I just wish I had never stopped mining back in 2011 or so... I cannot imagine what I would have had in BTC by now lol
