No point....I gave up the whole idea until 2018 after a fallout with the investor then went through a divorce back to back.
but I'm making a grand a day doing this for the last 19 days! Already got back my ROI a few days back and now making a grip of btc from nothing....lol If not for BTC the ex would have it all!!

You do colocation hosting?
Seems to me like a mega project . Good luck with your venture jacques Broody.Hope you are investing at the right time.It is a real challenge to start a mining farm at this stage as the difficulty keeps on increasing.
I thank you wholeheartedly for your support!

Good luck with your project. Will you have a chance to use solar [power for part of you supply?
In about a year we will be looking at building a solar array as long as we can reach our ROI by then and there are some other technologies as well that have been suggested.
I appreciate all of the advice and the support.
Even the Skeptics have a place in all of this because they make me take a serious look at what we're trying to pull off.
We will have floor space available for Colocation at the very least by the 1st of April possibly sooner.
I'm still not sure what to charge for the Colo or how to break it down. Do we charge a flat rate per machine? do we charge solely based on Power consumption?
I'm completely up for suggestions.
Thanks again everyone...This is getting exciting!

I'm in the game guys....bitchain LLC has been filed and we will be up and operating in a month. Mining and Colocation services on the West Coast in Tacoma, WA.
We will have a pool and will be a full node soon as well

Congrats! Starting a business is always extremely exciting! I used to live in Washington for quite a while. Definitely have to find something to keep your mind off of all the rain!
I don't think it is the right section to post about your upcoming mining pool. Not at least now. You can use mining pool discussion for the same. Also I am just curious about your mining operations. Are you going to mine bitcoin only? or you will have altcoins as well?
i have some question: why you don't use antminer s9? they are more efficient, and generate more btc over time, do you have a better deal with the avalon perhpas? and is hosting possible? what would be your charge?
And Yes....We are willing to bring in investors but there will be a bit of a vetting process and the min investment is $1,000,000.00 just because it becomes an accountant's nightmare bringing on a ton of nickle and dime investments. Sorry guys but I have to stick to the business model that the guy with the Masters in Business Finance wrote up if we want this to work without falling on our faces.
Interesting to know you also have intention of partnering with interested investors, but if the vetting process is all about those unable to cough out $1000,000.00 (one million dollars) then I already see a big crack in the business model proposed by your CFO. At that the funds through this channel may never come and that is not the same thing as recommending nickle and dime investments.I like the idea of having as many nodes as possible outside of China, but it got me wondering, if majority of the equipment supplies is due to come from China, would that give you any edge to effectively compete with already established mining companies in China?
Those are both great points and I agree with both.
1. The only issue with smaller investments from a startup point of view at this scale is that it becomes a nightmare to track until there's an IPO released and stock can be issued to smaller investors. I have a plan for the future that will involve more of the community but the operation needs to be as streamlined as possible until 2018.
2. I agree with you 100% on the China thing but in order to get going and be profitable we need to use "Off the Shelf Miners" but there is a plan in the works for development of our own system down the road that will require a lot of R&D and ultimately manufactured in China like every other Piece of Electronics in the world unless we can find somewhere else to manufacture them that makes sense.
I'm completely open to community discussion on these topics and definitely value your opinions....good or bad. If we don't listen to you how will we be a success?

We're starting this out as a real corporate organization with structure and integrity....absolutely going to do this the right way!

Not to be snarky at all but would you mind elaborating? Which comment sounds like an 11 year old?
I'm just being straight to the point
Don't get me wrong...I get the skepticism but I'm just as passionate as the rest here and I plan on pushing this as far as I can take it.

Are you guys also going to allow some investments just like ViaBTC does, and willing to give the users some fair share???
I think this would definitely give a boost to your ongoing plans to be put into action in a more efficient manner...
I am an investor myself and I invest very small parts into such projects and reap some good profits, hope you are also going to give us the opportunity to join your hands...

I'm getting power for half per KWh than anyone out here off a 10MW feed...I think it will be profitable
yeah but how much is warehouse rent, who is going to watch and set up the machines, how much will you pay them, what if you or them drops a new miner and breaks it do you have the funds to repay the owner? What if a surge goes through and breaks equipment, do you have industrial surge equipment did you price everything into your startup or did you focus on $.03 a kWh?Yes my CFO has his Masters in Business Finance and we've covered a ton.
our CTO has been mining since 2010 and gone through a gambit of failures and success, and I've fallen on my face with multiple ventures and have learned the hard way.

This is sounding really good! You've obviously got some experts working with you. Are you planning on expanding to more locations/miners in the future or just hoping to maintain the 1000 and see how that goes? What miners are you using btw? S9s? Avalon7? Something else?
The business plan it to be at 5,000 current Avalon 741s before the end of the year and then expand into our 150,000 sq ft facility Jan 2018 and turn up our Substation to 30MW but atm it's just an empty shell and needs to be finished out first before we can ramp up to compete with China. (Bitmain is out because of their recent hardware problems and I do not feel like it's morally sound to support them until they own 51% of the hash power in the world)
We have a 3 year plan before expanding to other sites like a potential Datacenter in Idaho that a partnering company recently purchased.
I plan on growing this until it can't go any further.....But we'll see what the future holds.

What kind of service are you going to offer, is it just purely mining, mining pool services, or there are other services at hand that you will be offering the public. Are you going also to open and exchange or a trading site? Goodluck to your business this is another good news to bitcoin industry and since you are running at full nodes there are big disadvantages that will benefit the community the moment you operate.
We're looking at moving toward an exchange but I want it to be very carefully planned out.
So far I have a thousand miners on the way from china for our own pool that will go public, I have an agreement with a connex provider for custom manufactured Modular miner containers, and we're going to have a 15,000sq ft. colocation space available by the end of March.
I'm burning my flares at both ends to make this happen and averaging 3 hrs of sleep a night until we're fully operational.
I thank all of you in advance for the community support!
Pass the word!
