Yeah, I quickly changed it from parts and pcs to data center. It looks horrible. I am about to get some bids on making it nice and accepting crypto automatically like the anti-christ bitmain does etc. If interested hit me up.

I have owned and operated www.minerdude.com for quite some time but recently I decided to stop selling miners..
First of, great job with the mining facility bro, you've got more balls of steel than any of us.
However, you may want to consider getting a designer or developer for that website of yours. If i didn't know you from these forums i honestly wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole. It looks like a high school kid's scam attempt. No offense, just constructive criticism. Hit me up if you need help with it.

Awesome mining facility !!
you have to be brave to invest in such a way knowing that mining is becoming less and less profitable. After with such an installation, it must be profitable
Well done for that !

Yep these are Server tech metered and switched cdu's 3 phase 208v 30A
Raritan bought them. They are 8.4 so you can run 6 s9 or anything else about that power per 1K cdu. Sweet huh! Cost of doing shizzy correct.

Great project 
! Love to see projects like this. Interested what PDUs are you using, im strugling to find any on decent price that can take higher Amps? Good luck with this and I think you are on the right path .

Thanks, Nice
! seems cool, how about switched PDUs you have them? I find quite many but most of them are 32A only, Company called Raritan seem to have some but I dont have experience of that. August 11, 2018, 12:10:42 AM
It's always inspiring to see posts like these. Great work and good luck!

how do you survive in this bear trend with mining? I admire your goals and long term efforts and one day I hope to have your dreams, But how do you survive this winter storm?
I guess he is not selling any coin he is mining right now and the money he has, he is using to pay the bills as he goes, mining was profitable, last year was 100 days to get your money back, so he might be at loss today but last year he was up, so there is a balance there, fat cows last year, slim cows this year and hopefully fat cows next year, this is called planning cause everybody knows fat cows will lose weight and then regain it back and will lose again. That is how life is in general, ups and downs, need to be strong when cows are slim and wise when cows are fat.
bears hibernate during winter, fats are stored....spring will come and the bears will feast again..
in crypto land the wise and lucky ones have enough fats..

FIRST OF ALL - I know many of you all have better rates than this at home and if you don't want this service move on. Don't post crap stuff here please as most sane people know this is pretty fair deal.
OK onto the soup:
I Have received many, many PM's for hosting. YES! I will rent space out and the rate is 95$ a KW, MINIMUM of 10kw. That's about 13 cents. I pay a little less than that of course in electricity, but the cost to build this facility was immense and I have to try and recoup some of that.
A little about me and company. I have been in crypto for 4-5 years now and love it! I'm an IT guy before it was cool to be IT, late 80's-90's. I have owned and operated www.minerdude.com for quite some time but recently I decided to stop selling miners, since everyone and their dog is doing it now, and start to do pure hosting. Please pardon the website as it's a work in progress for the transition. DON't BUY anything on it yet before speaking with me or my staff. Number to contact us is on the site, or you can email or a PM here. OMG what a concept right you can actually call us.
What I offer: (more to follow)
Top Notch 42,000 square foot Facility
Full monitoring (all my Power Switches are metered and switched so you will be able to VPN in and reboot yourself)
Security - I invested quite a bit to secure every inch of this area. We are adding more weekly. Cameras, keypads etc.
No one is allowed back there unless they go through a background check plus have a ton of machines. If you have 20 or less - I will set them up or a supervisor will be with you at all times.
Cameras everywhere, inside and out.
Working on 24/7 security company to office out of here. Should have that in a month or 2
Few Rules: (more to follow)
1.) Must be more than 10kw of usage per customer
2.) 2-6 Month prepay then before the next pay month you must pay or I'll shut you off till you do (crypto is OK and preferred but Wire, Check, CC OK) BTC, LTC, ETH, ZEC - Example you paid 2 months prepaid may, June (paid) if you don't pay June 30 for July your machines will power down at midnight until that fee is paid.
3.) I was going to put 1 year contract in place but I'll waive that after you pass your prepay period(you still need to sign a contract but it will be month to month)
4.) This is standard but no one tells you this: My insurance will not cover your stuff! If you want it insured then you need to get renters insurance etc. I can point you in the right direction should you want to persue this, most don't.
5.) NO WOODEN Rigs - Massive Liability and fire hazard
6.) Reboot services * if we are manually rebooting more than 2 - 3 times a week there will either be a tech fee to try and fix it or take it offline and ship it back to you for repair.
7.) NO WOODEN RIGS - did i say that again? =)
More to come! Just tossing this out there.
I have already put 1mw of customers in here and I have 2 mw left. It's filling up pretty quick, kind of nice =) People from Europe especially sending equipment over because of their high rate.

This part can be resolved with 16-Channel 12V Relay Module (or 8 channel), you can easily provide all your customers with a web based dashboard for rig restarting
Everything else seems in order

@ lunobird
Pretty much what metroid said. I try and hold as much as I can and only sell when absolutely necessary.
@ Marvell2
I'll be renting soon but I wanted to get all my stuff up first should be about .13 cents all in per kw
@ mochaaa
Really its kinda loud in there. The giant exaust fans louder.
@ gotminer
I don't get it either. But most cant afford to sit on them because they wawnt to sell to pay for power.
@ lunobird
I'll be renting soon but will be 10kw min and about 95$ a kw (.13 cents or so) FYI My breakeven is 85-87 so i'm not getting rich off it, just keeping the lights on.

how do you survive in this bear trend with mining? I admire your goals and long term efforts and one day I hope to have your dreams, But how do you survive this winter storm?
I guess he is not selling any coin he is mining right now and the money he has, he is using to pay the bills as he goes, mining was profitable, last year was 100 days to get your money back, so he might be at loss today but last year he was up, so there is a balance there, fat cows last year, slim cows this year and hopefully fat cows next year, this is called planning cause everybody knows fat cows will lose weight and then regain it back and will lose again. That is how life is in general, ups and downs, need to be strong when cows are slim and wise when cows are fat.
I wish more people had this understanding. I can't wrap my mind around how some people just can't look at a longer term picture and only look at daily fiat profits. I can't say it enough ... If you're cashing out into fiat on a regular basis, mining isn't for you. Maybe it will work out in the end, maybe it won't. You don't get ahead in any business without taking risks.
It's very hard for me to look at the long term picture where I am paying on average 35 cents home mining with 31 gpus. Tier 3.
I think I'm losing $200 every month. Not sure how long I can keep this up. Just using my day job to cover electric cost and not selling a single coin
You're paying 35 cents usd/kwh? Where do you live? And yes, if that is the case, I wouldn't be mining even on a small scale. That's almost four times what I pay for electricity in the Midwest United States. I'm paying around 0.09-0.010 usd/kwh.
I don't know what kind of gpu's you are mining with, but we're mining with the exact number of gpu's ... I have 15 1070ti's, 6 Vega 56's, 2 1080's, and 8 1080ti's. At 80% tpd, it's costing me about $500/month ... That's with box fans, exhaust fan, ect.
Yes I think we sorta followed the same path, I got into crypto early last year, I mostly bought coins, took profits to buy gpus throughout the year as a hedge.
For gpus I have these below. 31 total. Running at max efficiency 60 TDP, Titanium t2 power supply, 240 volt setup with 1400 cfm ceiling exhaust fan, Uses about $1k in electric and coin generated somewhere around 1k worth breaking even.
1x- 1070
18x- 1070 ti
3x - 1080
9x - 1080 ti
for Asic i have, these are hosted
1x- z9 mini
1x- x3
1x - L3+
Overall Asics might be a better choice for me, Once the early phase is over I have a chance to host them easily. GPU's are so finicky and large so not as easy to host.
Home Mining in california san francisco bay area is not easy in bear trends.
Maybe you should look into getting your gpu rigs hosted somewhere that electricity isn't as expensive.

35 cents a kwatt = you lose
almost all long term mining needs power under 15 cents.
you need to find some hosting or forget mining.

A really loose budget. Hopefully the results obtained can be appropriate.
Just a suggestion, don't forget to choose the most trusted wallet for cold
storage of wealth.
Can't wait to know the main choices for the graphics card that will used.
Enthusiasm to continue to work and be lucky.
