Hi Dane, also saw your video on Vosk's channel and very impressed.
I know you addressed building bank with your power company, and I have a similar arrangement (but much smaller one) using Solar City that came with the house when I purchased it -- but I have been recently interested in the idea of building a powerwall.
As stated, batteries are quite expensive - to run 15 cards drawing 200w each, I would need 10,000 cells, and you are lucky to get those at a dollar a cell plus panels to charge them.
Would you ever consider this ? Sounds like you have a fine plan as it is, but if the grid goes down (which it rarely does) you have only that generator. Thoughts?

Hi. this is a little off subject. But i was wondering what kind of internet service you have, since it seems that your living in a remote area? fiber optic cable, satellite, phone service?
On topic!

Dane, I will not refer to you as CrazyDane since you are obviously sharper than most walking around stealing oxygen...
Great job you inspire me to get wife approved [roject done....

I had the awesome opportunity and truly pleasure to tour CrazyDane's mining farm and have him talk about his setup -- for those interested check it out here!

What an awesome project!
Great video Vosk! Always enjoy seeing the community come together!

Awesome video vosk! Like your work on this, plus on building mining rigs and talking about zencash and other topics. Keep the videos coming!

ah so cool to see 
working on the video as I type this!
working on the video as I type this! Great video VoskCoin was nice to see how the solar setup complemented his pretty extensive mining rigs. That what you call a nice hobby set up

Hi,
I watched your video on the VoskCoin Youtube channel. Really impressive stuff. Wishing u all the best.
Cheers.

Don't know if you'd be too keen on telling everyone here, but would you be able to give me a rough estimate on the ROI that you're expecting here? Maybe even with an amount of money that you're pulling down on a weekly basis on pure profit?
I don't think you included it in your post, if you did I am sorry! -- Trying to see if mining is for me as I do have access to a good amount of free power.

See the two lp tanks I assume they are filled time to time.
Can you build a blast/fire wall?
Can you build a blast/fire wall?
Yes, they are topped off about twice a year. Interesting idea about building a blast/fire wall. Will definitely look into that if I don't end up just removing them.
Reason I might just get rid of them is that I plan to move all my mining rigs down to the shop come spring, and plan build a dedicated mining room within the shop that will have hot and cold isles and vent to the outside. The inlet will be very close to where those propane tanks are. While some rigs will go back up to the house next winter, enough will stay behind to keep the shop building frost fee.

Damn those are expensive right now!
It arrived do you want it? At oem not rip off price. if you do shoot me a pm.
You got me into water blocks this style is a little too hard for me.
I do have a lot of msu sea hawk with corsair coolers factory prebuilt
and a lot of evga hybrid's
but old school wb's are not for me.

Thanks for putting the video together Vosk! It was a lot of fun.
@ x299 My system is grid tied. So I draw power from it at night and anytime during the day when I consume more than I use. On sunny days, I push quite a bit back onto the grid, despite what my miners consume.
The solar gateways allow me to track the production from each array. Here's a snapshot from around noon on the 15th:
Roof array:
24 panel ground array:
48 panel ground array:
So how much sun there is on a given day has, as you would expect, a huge impact on the power being produced.
Also, I still got a couple of inverters to test on the 48 panel array as only 43 of 48 are reporting as seen above.

And from all these solar panels you use 12 hours / day, at night what do you do?
January 18, 2018, 05:28:45 PM
this is an amazing work....
congrats mate...

I'm from Denmark originally, but reside in the U.S. in central Virginia these days. Those are the Blue Ridge Mountains you can see in some of the pics. We don't have mountains like that in Denmark. The tallest "mountain" if you can even call it that, is 561 feet.
To be fair the tallest mountain in the appalachians is Mount Mitchell at nearly 6700 feet. Still not that tall but it not some little hill lol.

Holy shit im impressed man! Where in the world is this? Could one make reference to your nickname here on the forum? Denmark? If it is, you are one great neighbour! With the solar hours in the north i have my doubts but you prolly have done ur homework.
