Romania is a lovely country, perhaps I'll emigrate!

Even I have a friends at there. I don't know where OP farm located. Whatever hope for the good thing for him.

Romanians main occupation is peasant farming... they have mining farms.. I guess that there is only a small amount of people who knows about bitcoin mining....

Interesting video. I'm still not sure about joing a cloud miner but it's nice to know the option is there.

their cloud mining? how do you know (i couldnt understand the language maybe you can?)
either way i doubt that farm will even survive unless they have upgraded and expanded, lots of old hardwear on the btc side there, and MAYBE 150th/s?
(although it was a cool set up for what machines they had looked like 800 sq feet, pretty dece setup idea for the space they used)
would really like an update haha, they have the space would be a shame if they werent able to fill her up Wink

i wouldn't mind an update too..

warmer weather still allowing the passive cooling?

seemed like a neat project.

Yes, I hope that OP will remeber about the topic he started. ) He was Last Active:   March 12, 2016, 06:50:23 PM, it's just 3 days ago, but for unknown reason he didn't update.

OP, just to see a few words from you would be nice. )

Hi guys. We did this interview with a mining facility in Romania. Now, we had some technical difficulties with the sound, and yea...I know it s not our best work. I just wanted to show you this cooling system they had, I thought that in spite of the video not looking at its best it s still something that might get you interested.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZHM8-3RxF4

So how is it going now? A lot of time passed since the video was posted and it's interesting to know how was the progress.

English subtitles are loading without any problems now btw, idk why me and some others had problems at first.

I like to see anything related to mining. Rig setup, datacentres etc.
It's bad that most mining centres are close to open public, since it's fun to see all this hardware at work.

Someday I will start a own facility for sure. Just need a little more btc.

Nice interview.
I also wonder what they are mining, with those graphic cards you don't really mine bitcoin.
Still, looks like a great farm.

gypsies or its not romania..
Nice to see Roma worldwide mining coin. Funny we love unregulated industry.   Hope they are stealing the electricity and squating the unit.  We used to have it like that in this country (UK) before the EU.  Anyway, they look like rich gypsies to me. "Dids!"  but good luck to them.

Well it certainly was loud, however the last 5-ish minutes were very fun to watch. I'm not sure what they would have been mining with, though. I'm fairly confident they're using S3 miners, but I can't be sure.

I wonder what they're profit margins are with that though. It definitely looks like a lot of hashing power...

The giant fan in the video is scary and it sounds really loud. Isn't it better to have multiple smaller not so dangerous and noisy fan?

Most commercial size need multiple big fan's.  Yes they are big and loud but they need a ton of CFM.

Not sure about this one looking at video lot's of empty rack's just there.  So not sure not sure this is best example.  But two main way's are evaporation or lots of CFM's as far as commercial farms.

GPUs re mining Etherum probably and the rest are S5 and S4 miners. All in all nice farm but I really do not see how do they manage to get cheap electricity in Romania and compete with Island, for example.

I personally think this type of mining cooling is pointless and costs far more to cool when it comes to these cooling setups.  The purpose of the cooling is to remove the heat from the computer chips.  There is no way a small operation like that has enough heat coming from their systems, that they need such a large cooling system.  You need to focus your cooling to the computing units first, then, if you room temperature rises large enough, you can work on that.  But think about it;  if you have a 10,000 cu.ft. room with 5 fans moving 10,000 cu.ft. a minute, there air is not in the room long enough to get warm let alone hot.  Just my opinion.

I agree with you. IMO just 2 fans as large as they have would be enough to lower the temperature in the room. And of course you should concentrate first on removing the heat from the computer chips.

But maybe we are missing something here. It would be great if the owners of the mining farm were so kind to clarify the subject, especially considering the fact that english subs aren't loading for some people here (including me).

if they don't know how the diff and the earning work, they are wasting time without knowing it, everyone should be aware about the fact that without asic you can't do shit anymore

even with litecoin you need asic since ages, and new coins seems all worthless

could you explain a bit more about this? what is "asic".

The video can't load the english subs for me, it is quite interesting but I can't really know what hardware are they using.

Asics are highly specialized computers that are being made just for one purpose, for Bitcoin mining. And that, Asics are doing very well.

Just type Bitcoin Asics computers in Google, and you will see it for yourself!

Yes, quite a lot of unclear things in the video! GPU cards, S3s! Maybe they have free or near free electricity! Even then it seems to me that they are wasting their time!

It's a pretty cool walkthrough of the facility. I'm not sure about those graphics cards though... Why not ASICS? What's the mining power? 1 Gh/S? xD

The hardware in the video is quite outdated (Antminer S3?). But to be fair it is good to see a new farm coming up not in China.

Thanks for posting this! I can't understand what they are saying beacause I think its in Romanian (or whatever the language is called) but the last 7 minutes is interesting to watch.

Thats great that you guys do things like this in Romania! Good luck!

The video have english subtitles.

Interesting, though with those sapphire graphics cards I don't believe that they are mining bitcoin, if they are they're wasting quite a bit of time doing so.
