Can't wait for the site and more details - very interested - wondering if this is like most colos where I can still manage the miners software but you guys deal with power, network, security, etc...
It will be online soon. I am going to work on it tonight, it is basically done. Currently this is a fully managed service.
Here are a few items that make it not like normal co-location:
1. Declining income from the mining hardware -
discourages fixed fees over time as diff rises.2. Steeper cooling requirements than normal data-centers -
If you want your hardware to hash at the top-end and over-clocked you need additional cooling to run your ambient temperature lower. I found as soon as I could bring it lower, all the hardware responding so much better it was like night & day.3. Physical security -
Once we have people getting our public IP addresses, then people can use techniques to try and ascertain the location of our facility. We take security as one of the highest priorities and do not see the client get much benefit from putting this responsibility on them. This hardware should be basically plug and hash if setup right with minimal customer interference. Any downtime is reduced income for both the client and their hosting provider. I hope the gives you more insight into our thoughts on this currently. With that said, over time as we get our location more built-out we will be looking into different options. We may open another location that is setup for self-hosting specifically, it is something that is on our radar.
