have to mention that to buysolar

that is my whole intention - build a data center and rent out at least half the space to companies looking to have offsite back ups or to store their servers - that pays my bills and then use the rest of the building to mine. but I cant get a loan unless i can get the electric company to commit to the transformer and they are being bitches about it. I am sure it is normally an easy task and this delay is mostly due to my lack of experience in this type of shit.

not to mention if mining is unprofitable you could double as a data center and rent out rack space to non mining entities.

That's not bad only having to commit the load for 1 year. Well worth the potential risk, even if the worst were to happen the core infrastructure is there. No to mention the ability to be flexible and find a balance. I'm curious if these scenarios have been discussed with the Business/Landowner. If there is no mining are you and Buysolar out? I ask as that's the new potential risk I see of being left holding the bag on hardware.

Not a problem if you don't want to get to far into details.

I remembered the map, it reminded me of the mining town I grew up in , it's still weird to me sometimes when I don't taste a little sulfur in the air. Something good has come from it at least on the state level to help push towards renewable sources is a positive.

Once panels are in we will need to mine with the load for 1 year.

We will be able then sell some of the power and mine .

Or stay all mining.

Once again NJ RULES not in many other states.

NJ has the air pollution issues caused by coal power plants in PA,OH,WV,IL,IN,IA

I did a screen shot on page 2:

Yeah but we get credits from NJ that help so it evens out.

All the bad air from all the coal fired power plants running from Illinois to PA is the reason NJ does this.

you can see the air pollution path below

Nice. That's a huge plus that you can sell off what you don't use. Really takes the risk out of the operation especially once it's been up and running mining for a while. Let's say hypothetically the bottom falls out of mining for  a while or gets unpredictable come the halving. You can just turn around and turn a profit as an energy producer.

Are there any stipulation on the load being permanent after the panels are installed?

Honestly Clifton is a gold mine of info for the home miners right now. The way you are filling and splitting your 30 amp circuits gives us a nice idea what gear to buy to maximize our circuits. I'm not going to benefit from that, as I forged ahead January-March to upgrade. It may help come fall though when I make heating decisions as opposed to efficiency.

Well nice to see things rocking at Clifton. At least you still have work there to focus on, while you wait for info on the possible new location.

Must be nice to still be able to find purpose for that older gear while you wait on more powerful stuff to show up. For Clifton are you still in the process of proving the consistent load? I'm guessing if that new place goes ahead you won't have to do the same thing as it's new build or would that still be a requirement for the subsidies.

I just drooled a little at your 2 PH potential.

Load needs proof. 3-6 months  at higher then what you really want  to have them extrapolate  a yearly  Average.

The load is not as much for  rebates and credits as it is to justify the amount of the panels.

Lets say you have 50 acres and do 250 panels of 320 watts  an acre (bigger then us by far)

that would be 50 x 250 x 320 = 4 megawatts/7 = 571,428 watts or 570 kwatts 24/7/365

This is not justified unless you are using  570 kwatts an hour.  So they would classify you as a commercial power plant = rules and regs up the butt.

Especially since NJ will now allow you to sell power to your neighbors at 8 cents  which is actually a little better then BTC pays if you mine.

The nicest thing about using mining to increase your load is you have a backup if mining fails  which is selling power to your neighbors at 8 cents.

I don't know that we will every get the big place but  the clifton spot is still pretty good.

If we get the big place  we would rotate all the lessor gear out of Clifton  and move it to the new place.

We would then  load Clifton up with the m10's and the M20's  Maybe just maybe some M21's.

I also have been talking with Steve from Avalon we may do a few A1021's

Lastly we dropped again for diff

At yankees we could use 30 m20's for 2040 - 2100 th  pulling 99000 watts.

To do this we would need 2 more panels.

It may not cool well enough with 99000 watts of power on a hot day.

Last rack of gear

1)  2x a721's, 1  t15  = 3,000 watts
2)  5x s9's, 1 pc = 6,600 watts



3) 7 L3+  5,600 watts
4) 8 L3+  6,400 watts



21,000 watts.

Phil  that  first rack has 43,000 watts  and 29 miners on  it  if you had 13 m20's  you could replace the whole wattage footprint as 13 x 3300 = 42,900 watts it would also hash 884 to 910 th

Oh ocd right Grin

Don't worry  We will sort gear better once we put in more power panels.  The 2 panels  we are using have 18x  30 amp circuits  we need to balance loads as the panels are rated at 225 amps each  We try to do each and every circuit at 18-21 amps  so 18 x 21 = 378 amps of load  most circuits are at 18 amps  or 324 amps about 162 a panel.

So  making neat rows of all m10's is second to make  18 circuits at 18-21 amps.

Once we get 2 more panels   we will  have the luxury of shifting racks to a nice  clean order of gear.

second rack is light on gear

1) a pdu out of sight
2) 2 s9's  = 2,600 watts
3) 3 L3+  = 2,400 watts



4) 2 s7ln's.  1 s9  2,700 watts
5) 1 gpu rig 700 watts



only 8,400 watts.

That Row of m10's is impressive   You need to move you other m10 to it and move the T2Turbo

That way you will have a row of all eight m10's Grin

I estimate 68-71kwatts

620th BTC

9.8gh LTC

More photos

this rack has 5 levels

1) 4 s9, 1 m10  = 7,500watts
2) 5 s9, 1 s17, 1 L3 =   8,100watts
3) 7 m10, 1 t2turbo =  16,200watts



4) 4 s9, 1L3 =  6,000watts
5) 2 s9, 1L3,1 a921  = 5,200 watts



So this rack has more then 43000 watts.

the other racks are less.

driving up tomorrow to talk with clifton warehouse owner.  and add  3 s9's along with 4 l3+

we have been in limbo on second buildout  hope to find more news on it soon.

Got back from Clifton  that build is doing well.

video will be live at: https://youtu.be/LXTn9LUI45o

The gear is so loud my voice is drowned out. 85db+ noise level

Photos coming up soon
imgur  is also slow



even with super fan  temps inside are 92f

I don't know if you already know about Bitcoin and its potentials oceed because this is the right time to invest in bitcoin.

Rofl.

Yeah Phil have you heard about BTC and it's potential. It's really hard to tell considering you know everything written in this thread. Had to post this.



On topic now have you had any news on the next location i think you said potential for 2 MW?

Hey !
Micro is a global mining cryptography exchange with a different  direction and methods than existing exchanges. We are aspiring towards the world´s first gambling exchange platform, and micro gaming system combined with a exchange system. By doing so, we offer alternative convenience, safety and synergy due to our unique system. In addition , we are introducing an innovative trading mining system that aims to create a profit sharing ecosystem along with users through new revenue generation.

so mainly the traders and gamblers vary from week to week depending on who participates in the tournamente !
Also, Micro Exchange is currently a Brazil- based exchange. The reason behind the base is due to Brazil´s tremendous potential in the market. Brazilian-based cryptographic exchanges are used for CASH IN/OUT at the moment, especially not for cryptographic trading. Furthermore, Brazilian exchanges charges high transaction fees along with deposit and withdrawal fees in whatever involving various coin transactions. In order to show UI/UX, global-quality, Micros will be able to see and show preempting effects in the Brazilian market

Micro is presently operating in all countries, providing all services at a global scale with quality in various languages according to demand. Micro´s goal is to grow within the worldwide platform.

So check it out on our website : https : // micro . com .br / pt

hope to see you there

I neg tagged you for spamming my thread.

I disabled link

I deleted it

To mods please leave it up for a day or two as I sometimes get pm's complaining about negative feedback. I like to show the person what they did to get tagged.

You weren't kidding no messing around there. Between that and the size of the warehouse should be  a pretty smooth summer. Is it set to a thermostat or just running constant?

It has a thermostat.  Set to 85f for now.

Do it right, do it once?

Hope so.

Looks like a beast, so that should vent 56 S9, how many M10 or better yet how many M20? The link is busted BTW.

there are

20 s9  set to medium and low speeds... about .... 22kwatts .............. to be replaced by m20's
18 l3+ watts saver software about....... about .... 12.6 kwatts
08 m10 full speed.............................. about .... 17.6 kwatts
04 S7Ln med speed .......................... about ....   2.8 kwatts ............ to be replaced by m20's
02 A721 -1 volt setting ...................... about ....   1.5 kwatts ........... to be replaced by m20's
01 A921 -1 volt setting ...................... about ....   1.9 kwatts
01 s15 high speed.............................. about ....   1.6 kwatts
01 t15 high speed............................... about ....  1.6 kwatts
01 T2turbo24 eco setting .................... about ....  1.4 kwatts

all told 565 th btc and 8.5 gh ltc say  63 kwatts

we have

1 l3+    that drops out a lot
2 s9's that drop   out a lot.

All l3+
and all s9 are older gear  so 35 of 38 working well is pretty good set of numbers

About Motor Driven Exhaust Fans

With fewer moving parts than belt drive fans and a motor mounted directly on the fan shaft, direct drive fans are more efficient, compact, lighter weight, and require less maintenance than belt drive fans. Direct drive fans offer less control over blade speeds and are typically louder than belt drive fans."

Note  we paid well under the 1600 usd price

We have about 26 kwatts to be replaced by m20's

so 8 m20's  looks like the plan.

This is a small farm or a medium small at best.  
Our setup can push to 90-95 kwatts (we can do one more panel in our space)
28 m20's  that is 2.016ph  in the space we have.

When  I think of a big farm  say 1 megawatt  it would be 16x the gear.

If the m20 v1 72th work well.  

1000kwatt/3.3kwatts = 300 m20's  per megawatt of power  for a m20 v1 setup does 21.6 ph

1000kwatt/1.3kwatts = 769 s9's  per megawatt of power  for a s9 setup does 10.384 ph

We will be looking at a huge change  in mining in the next year and 2 months.

When I see scale like mine and I think of forum member fanatic_26  pushing to maybe 60 mega watts of gear I am humbled to think of running at best 30 m20 v1's when he could be doing 18000 m20 v1's.

oh here is the other photo of the fan install
