Topic: Looking for a commercial place to mine bitcoin and expand in future. (Read 1468 times)

Hardware mining is dying a quick death.  Why not try some cloudmining?

I did a quite article with links for CCN to help get the news out there on it.

talk about it in your meeting to let others know about it.

April 2nd bitcoin event in Santa Monica. Ill be going

WOW many miners from my same area. I am in Santa Monica. Any chance we guys can meet and share ideas and passion for BTC?

I run a small farm in a warehouse north of the O.C.

Around 15 cents kw/h

Warehouse has a 208v panel with I think 200 amp capacity.
Old warehouse had something like 400volt and 400 amp capacity.

What I did was buy a few datacenter cords and converted the wall sockets to 220volt thereby halving the required amps.
Currently running scrypt miners but each machine only uses something like 5.5 amps. Place stays really cool too.

OC prices are just ridiculous :S go to the inland empire

I used to have a Corporate Apartment just up Grand Ave on Bunker Hill. I often find myself back in LA too.
I have been thinking of One Wilshire as a perfect datacenter. That building is where all the Big Pipes come into.
Thoughts being that being AT a major hub, blocks would be easier to find ??

hey im in socal running miners also about to get into a datacenter. im  checking out Coresite http://coresite.com/locations/los-angeles/la1-one-wilshire

i was at satoshi square #4, and #thisisbtc the other day on santa monica.

we should put it together and get a cage.

No, I got scam 7 avalon

i think i remember pcpoet from the avalon scam didn't you supposedly get a miner?

It's "industrial warehouse" - not "where house"

A warehouse is a place to store goods..."where house" is a question that can answered by looking in your wallet for your home address.

It's too bad your on the west coast and I am in the north east.
I have been going over the electricity output of the methane electricity generation plant on the farm and I have been seriously considering converting over one of the buildings to host a mining operation.  The problem is if I do it I do not have any money to buy the miners.  The building I could convert is nice, clean, and open format.  My father-in-law could have it insulated and cooling put in for the summer months easily.
I had not approached him about it seriously other than just a rough outline due to my lack of funds.
You can't beat free electricity in this business.  We also had fiber internet connection installed there this past fall.
I think I am going to have to put together a business plan and see if I can figure out a way to get this going.

As for your question do this.
Check out local office and retail spaces in mid level areas where you want to be.  They typically have access to steady power, internet and security.
Most of those types of spaces also have good cooling which will help you out quite a bit.
One thing I had seen alot of before I got injured was office spaces that were safe, secure and most notably inexpensive as there was so much of it unused due to the recession.  Landlords and companies offering the space are bending over backwards to get people to rent or buy their space.

Another thing you want to look into is insurance.  That way if anything is stolen or damaged you are covered.  There are lots of companies that insure data centers and such for reasonable rates.
 
I hope this helps you out.

pm me your e:mail ~ you going to satoshi square #4? =) *blessed

Just google for "datacenters", "collocation services" in your city.
Usually you will rent a 10U or a 40U rack. That should be enough for storing few (<10) miners.

No limit with electricity supply. However electricity is pricy because it includes cooling + their hidden profits. Expect 3 times more expensive electricity than running those at home.

Datacenters give you 24/7 access to your miners, however always supervised by their staff. In (Europe) its about €100 per hour. That means that if you spend 5 hours configuring your miners, you spend €500 for having someone breathing on your neck who has no idea what a bitcoin miner is.

There is however no other way to pile enough miners. No home can run more than 10TH because of electricity limits.

Make sure you calculate your return carefully, even mining at home is not profitable (free rental)..

Cypress huh?  Are you stuck with SCE and paying a ridiculous $0.35 KW/h like I am here in SoCal?

Most of the industrial shops that you've probably seen in socal only have 100A panels. You might be able to find a heavy manufacturing shop with a larger panel, but usually those places aren't a good environment for mining equipment.

I host my mining farm in a datacenter in Irvine, CA for under $800 a cabinet with 0 setup fees and includes 10mbps internet.  Cold isle/hot isles, locking cabinets, 24/7 access. PM me your contact information and I'll have them get in touch with you.

So I want to find a place to setup a bunch of btc miners, but my house does not have enough electricity.

 So I wanna find a place, I think something like "industrial where house" right? correct me if I'm wrong.

I live in Orange County, Cypress city, Southern California.

How many amp do I need if I'm serious about expanding more miners in the future.
How hard is it to find high power like 500amp plus for 1000 square-feet? Where do I go to find one? Does contacting a real estate agent help? Thank you so much in advance.
