Topic: Antminer S9 location (Read 437 times)
Hosting a bitcoin miner in a traditional tier style datacenter is not really financially viable. A traditional server fits into a rack and uses much less power than a bitcoin miner would. You need to find a place that specializes in hosting crypto rigs if you go the datacenter route.
It is about 3U tall and it uses 1500w of power, so be sure to factor that into your calculations.
Hi there. I`m new to this whole bitcoin and mining thing. I just searched for antminer s9 and I saw a lot of posts telling that it`s very noisy and you can`t run it in the house. What is your opinion about putting it in a colocation server room..like renting a space , rack for it? Thanks for any idea
I would continue looking through the forums for more information. You're jumping in to something that I'm guessing is a lot more complicated than you realize at the moment. Do you have a reliable source of power that would meet the electrical requirements of S9(s) without burning your house down? How many are you looking to run? Where/how are you planning on procuring them? What ROI are you hoping for? Etc... please don't answer... these are just some things you should be thinking of. Noise is just one of many, many factors.
The answer is YES - you could host it outside of your home... but without knowing the terms of your potential arrangement it would be impossible to know whether-or-not it is a good idea!
