Few questions:
Is that including the cost of the asics?
Is this accurate? That translates to about $0.025/kwh which would be incredibly good.
Yes, the cost of the ASICs are included in that calculation and the $18/kW is accurate as well. The significantly decreased operating and cooling costs are some of the main competitive advantages of the DataTank containers.
Unit purchasers are purchasing either ASIC Mining hardware + the DataTank capacity/infrastructure (DTMA) or solely the capacity/infrastructure (DTMB) on a per-container basis.
This way, investors can choose whether they would prefer to invest in both mining hardware and capacity or simply capacity/infrastructure to be rented to others.
DTMA holders will own both the mining hardware and the container (capacity), allowing them to determine the direction of the mining operation and the capacity. The most efficient hardware available at the time of deployment will be used.
DTMA shares - full containers are build, with hashing hardware, 100% net profit from mining as dividends, 3+ months after IPO
DTMB shares - only containers are build, rented to clients who provide hashing hardware, 20% net profit from mining to shareholders
No sales of containers, but hashing hardware can be replaced later, with some future reinvestment plan?
DTMA unitholders will own the mining equipment, so they will determine whether or not to reinvest mining profits to purchase additional hardware. DTMB will seek to sign profitable agreements with mining partners, whether they be revenue share, straight lease, or some other revenue model.
This forecast is simply an example if DTMA were to deploy today. Completed containers will be outfitted with the most efficient mining hardware available at the time of deployment.
