Running such a farm in Thailand - to me it makes no sense. I have seen farms in Siberia - guy just opens a window, - 30 air going everywhere. I think that is atad of difference +30 or -30.

Propably money loundering, yeah. Nobody can actually prove how much bitcoin you have mined, since nobody in goverment fucking knows what is hashrate or even bitcoin to begin with. So yeah, you can legitimate any almost any profits with such a farm.

Well doh

my SP30 got upgraded to 2.5.7 which seems incompatible with the orginal sp30 units

seems to have bricked the unit it will not connect to any pools.  I tried rolling back the firmware buy using the dropdown to do the manual seclection

but nothing shows in the dropdown.

what next ?

It's a bit strange considering they could have hosted the hardware at Verne Global for half the cost of electricity in Thailand

Untrue. On a sidenote, I've seen your question about the evaps after RockMiner released picture of AMHash.
Most of the Chinese farms started to use similar evaps after Gordon Ao (Innosilicon CEO) visited Cowboyminer facility early this year.

Yea, what threw me off was that AM's evap coolers are indoors, never seen that before.

$0.06-0.07/kwh makes it a plausible location for a mine but it's still far from optimal (although much better than the ~$0.11/kwh several sites led me to believe).

I don't think there's any conspiracy. It really is quite sad to see so much hardware go to waste. I hope they can get back on their feet eventually.

Im surprised its in Thailand. They dont have good electrical rate at all.

My guess would be laundering money for triangle drug lords ( Myanmar, Cambodia and Thailand).
ding ding ! I bet that's what it is as well.
...
Again ? Please stop it. I can't reveal customers information, but it's complete nonsense.
Their electricity cost was ~7 US cents for KW/h and they had planned to reduce it to below 6 US cents.
One of the oldest ASICs mega mine in the business.

Anyways back on topic seems that the last firmware update broke my sp30  it cant seem to connect to any pools
any ideas ?

yawn..... thats why when we built out 2 MW , we did it right .... our next 10 MW will be even better.

you do cheap shit work, you get cheap shit results. sadly, few investors get the difference. oh well , cowboyminers, if you need some local factoring on Barter Exchange hit me up.

What facility?  provide links?

Wow... I saw the drop in hashrate and I thought exactly this, but it was just a random thought, never expected such a disaster. I'm really sorry for you guys and your investors.

why the fuck would you make a DC in bangkok! where is 28 degrees Centigrade at 9AM, right now!!! WHY!!!
...


Miners don't particularly mind hot ambient, and because you're not running AC neither do you particularly. Instead of replacing the air with an infinite amount of 20C air, you're replacing it with an infinite amount of 30C air.

Now why would you want that? An increase in temperature means a decrease in GH/s.

Why would europeans move to a place with a hot climate and expensive electricity to start a mining operation?

It's a bit strange considering they could have hosted the hardware at Verne Global for half the cost of electricity in Thailand and that includes ~30C cooler air + an actual datacenter with fire suppression/security systems.

Cost of employees, cost of electricity, cost of buildout, electrical capacity. Who knows.

You guys probably never thought of this but i bet the fire started from the collapse of those shelves.

I'm not sure how it would start a fire. Any units with decreased airflow would throttle down before totally giving up mining [I believe], so where is the ignition source? Doesn't seem to be anything which would readily burn nearby them even if burning hot SP30s were scattered everywhere.

But anyway, we can ignore that as a possibility because we can see the majority of the shelves are in tact. If that picture was the epicentre of the fire then things wouldn't look at nice. Probably their huge supply melting/shorting.

A quick calculation shows they load 600kg per shelf.  Undecided pure stupidity

 Each rack has 1800kg = boom

Why? That looks like pretty decent pallet racking. 600kg is nothing, you can safely store twice that or more on a single pallet.

Yeah..... no A 42U server rack is alot stronger yet would never support such weight.

Those 4 legs wont like constant 1800kg 24h in a hot environment.
 

If the rack can support 1800kg with ease then there is no reason for them all bent up and collapsed.
You're kidding, right?
http://www.globalindustrial.ca/p/storage/pallet-rack/double-slotted/husky-double-slotted-pallet-rack-starter-108x42x192
Max Capacity 3500kg per shelf, up to 11,300kg for the whole unit.

No saying that the shelves couldn't have collapsed prior to the fire or been installed improperly, but saying loading pallet racking with 600kg is stupidity is rather silly.

Those pallet rack at Homedepot look alot beefier yet i doubt they hold anywhere closed to 2000kg 24/7. They're alot BIGGER too.

Damn! Feeling for those guys.. Surely you'd choose a less hot & humid spot for a DC?
But that's where the good beaches are.
