I have extra solar power, about 30 kW, in terms of panels and inverters. Under my current power company tariff, I cannot sell them the extra power. So I am considering mining bitcoin as a means of monetizing the currently free solar power.
On the property is a barn that I can put the equipment into, which is clean and has 100amp 240VAC power. The barn has gigabit ethernet in it, with a network connection. I am reasonably computer savvy, network savvy and can wire up new power circuits.
The thinking is to start with an S9 which used is about $500, and then after enough funds are earned, to acquire a S19 unit.
I understand that productivity is a ever changing target, but it would be nice to have some production figures for s19 units today, as well as for a S9. As near as I can tell, it may be impossible to make a profit with a S9, if one is paying even a nominal rate for power.
Is this a reasonable plan? Where can I get reasonable productivity estimates for miners?
Thanks.
please post back.
Go to viabtc.com it will give you $ per th and
BTC per th.
we are near 19 cents a th
so a 10 th unit is
$1.90 per 24 hours of mining
an s9 can be had for as low as 400 usd.
When you say you have 30kwatt to spare is that 30kwatt for six or seven hours of daylight ie 210kwatt a day or is it 30 kwatt total. over the daylight hours.
shoot me a pm I have a lot of info. i have multiple solar projects. and some s9s to help you test.
