Cloud Mining & Colocation

Quote from: Entropy-uc on April 23, 2014, 05:56:55 PM

Cloudhashing put a couple thousand Cointerra boxes in a data center in Texas. So you're not even close to the largest.

''A couple thousand''.

10 max in a 42u server cabinet. 96Amps @ 230v x 200 cabinets. Lol.

You could use 4 of these but you would still be 600kw short - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/850kw-wind-turbine-Class2A-Fully-pitch-70mtower-56m-rotor-50HZ-5-years-warranty-/310734194543?pt=UK_BOI_Industrial_Tools_Generators_ET&hash=item485933876f

Cool mining operation, making network cables is a pain did you use cat5/6 ?

about 12 cents

12 cents seems very cheap. Its about 22 or more in Europe, is that from some great resource Texas has like fracking gas or nuclear?

Rig setups like this explain why btc difficulty doesnt go down. Ever been tempted to turn it on an alternate sha256 coin for 5 mins

12 cents is a lot in Texas. You should be able to get much cheaper for commercial location?

Residential where I'm at used to be ~7.5c per kwh, now it's around 8c, but natural gas prices have been going down since 2008 (about 25% in total when comparing seasons).. the biggest commerical plan here is lower than 5c

ed: Commercial rate has to pay sales tax on it, UNLESS the electricity is used to make the product... which I guess would be the case here? lol.

Just sharing a video of our mining rig.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFuTeDWXiLw&feature=gp-n-y

12 HashLast.. Sorry HashFast Baby Jets
155 BitMain Antminers
2 Scrypt rigs

I am selling scrypt rigs and R9 290s if anyone is interested.

Houston, TX

For the love of god. Please don't buy from HashFast. I would be surprised if they have one satisfied customer (besides their 3rd party vendors who are buying our MPP/Upgrades while we wait for vaporware)

I remember when you bough all those r9290s you might have single handedly have driven up the GPU price back in January and February I think you had a 50-70 gpu order or something.
Not sure why you are selling your GPU farm , you can at least till break even mining scrypt-N or X-11 and the prices on those coins are bound to go up when the scrypt Asics hit in a few months. Selling the SHA hardware makes sense though , with diff going up and new KNC and SPOON hardware coming online in July/Aug i would dump that junk too.

I'm paying .10 in NJ, so electricity is cheaper here apparently? Huh

How would we pay you for a miner and how would it be shipped?

Well of course everything is going to be bigger in Texas. This includes Bitcoin mining rigs.

At 35 TH/s how many watts you drawing?

I've been looking into some data centers around NY, highest power density I have found is 18kw per cabinet....

Thanks for sharing the video of your rig.

I was impressed.
Did you say you custom created your own wires? Very cool.

Will you operate through the summer?? Grin

I hear it gets hot down there.

Yea we made each ethernet cable. Wasn't hard. But took forever.

Temp stays the same in the Data Center year round XD.
