Topic: New buildout with buysolar has entered stage 2. - page 5. (Read 4253 times)

Not sure what the efficiency setting looks like on the m10 but the t15 in LPM delivers over m10 in stock. 

yea - I have way more coupons that I can possibly use. want to buy some coupons? lol I am willing to sell at 25% face value.

I also want to sell some of my s9's and go for the t15's. If by some miracle, I could get $300 for the miners w/psu I could buy 4 t15's for every 5 s9's I sell with no out of pocket on the purchase. that would put me at 92 th for 4 t15's vs the 70 th i am getting for 5 s9's and would save me about 350 watts per hour. A little less th (84 i think) if used in LPM mode but with almost 500 watts per hour less electric consumption.

I guess they read this

I was up really late last night opened my emails just now and  saw the notices.

So some s15's or t15's will be purchased very soon.

I don't have a t15.

so 710 -340 = 370 + 110 = 480

a no tax order since the base 710 is under the 799

480 for the t15 is really good price.

Yea, not active yet. From my personal account I can use $65 and $300, $395 coupons but not the others due to date.

well that is because the new ones are not active until 2.26.19 so another week or so.  and yes they have a second generation 7nm chip which they claim is close to 30j/th -- i believe the most efficient ones you can current get are around the 50j/th mark, if I am not mistaken.

My guess is those 2nd gens will be expensive with long drawn out ROI's. So it may be time to scoop up the 1st gen 7nm machines now.

Yup, looks like they are going to try and clear out all the inventory ready for the new stuff later in the year. Sell out completely as quickly as they can and then generate market anticipation conditions for the new releases.

Strangely you can't apply any of those coupons to your cart, only the $65 ones.

yep - its hard to justify new gear atm with that tariff - at least for me it is. I would need to sell some existing machines first. I did like to see the little rise we got in todays btc price. makes my holdings just a bit more valuable

edit

i think bitmain heard me... they just gave me 14 new coupons worth over 250 and 7 for 160 --- the 65's I have had for a bit

Would be nice to be in some warm weather.

NJ stays too cold too long.

I got our 7th m10 took a bit to fire up but seems to be working now.

the build will move from 525th to 556th very soon.

I now have to think a bit as to what to do with the older gear.

19 s9's
4 sl7's
2 a721'
1 a921   they do about 280th at about 28000 watts

the  7 m10's  1 s15 1 innosilicon  do about 270 th at 18400 watts

so if I load up on m10s 13 x 2200 = 28600 with an up grade to  416

the plan was to add an m10 a week at a time

getting us to be at about 685th.

but I have heard the trump tax may end in march
I have also heard  the s17 may get launched by years end.

so I now need to think about m10 vs s15 vs s17 vs t17

much more complex set of decisions to guess.

bring those skills to FL - you can start on my spare lot

that is on sky's end as he was into solar installs for more then 5 years before BTC was around.

I live less then 5 miles from him  and handle btc+ ltc gear and mining setup.

I promo for this as it works hand and hand

Solar + Crypto = winner in NJ

my job is talkng and blogging it and getting good gear at good prices.

Yikes, yeah that looks pretty bad!

Ok, so the credits are for the kWh's you produce, not just the up front cost of the panel themselves?  That would definitely make it more even.

Are you doing anything with SREC trading?  Looks like NJ has a good market for those as well.

I got an account with these guys:

Yes and we got lucky with the 2017 runup.  We paid it off faster then we hoped and have been trying to sell the next buildout since  April-May 2018

we finally hooked up with ware house  in Clifton.

so a 200 watts x 500 panel = 100kwatt first build in Howell
now a 300 watts x 1000 panel= 300kwatt second  build in Clifton

once we show this build to work  we hope for more to come.

Buysolar is NJ based  and this is his idea with some development from me but he truly came up with this first.

If you read his posts  for 2015  he talks about it here and there on the forum.

this right when we started working together

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.13054076

So proof of concept was the setup at buysolar place of business?

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

Very cool project Phil!

Makes my 128 panel 35kWh setup look like a toy setup, lol.  I have had a few days here in February where I have generated 150 kWh in a day though, so I'm not complaining.

I couldn't help but note that you stated you pay the power company $0.13 per kWh but they only credit you back $0.04 for each kWh you put back into the grid.  Did I read that right?

Reason I ask is that here in Virginia, I have net metering and I pay $0.12 per kWh 24/7 year round, and when I produce more than I use, the power company credits me at the exact same rate ($0.12 per kWh).  Now I can't "cash out" it is just a bank of kWh that accumulates on my account, but since I consume more than I put back in the grid, generally speaking, that is not a concern.

So you have no option to just build up a bank of kWh with the power company during the day that you can then burn through at night?  I guess you would need enough mining equipment to make the 2 equal out.  Just seems unfair that they don't credit you at the same rate they charge you.  At least the $0.08 kWh deal to your neighbors make it a little but better.

But overall, you seem to have it all planned out and your business model is sound, it could just have been even better I think, if the power company credited you the kWh at 1:1.

very nice 

more power to you and your mining gears.

renewable energy and crypto go hand in hand.

A Caribbean build would be nice.  But we need to get our feet a bit more wet here at the Jersey shore.

We don't  know the  laws and or rules in the Caribbean when it comes to installs.

Would be nice to have a few setup.


We were up at the buildout yesterday  I did a video.

I also turned off 2 s7Ln and added 2 L3+

Your video will be live at: https://youtu.be/Pjaj8OKfJkw


we now have 29 sha 256 on BTC  about 525th
and 16 scrypt on LTC                   about 7.6gh

Can't open the homedepot link (Getting Access Denied error) finally saw it (thanks anon proxies), it combines the dark (thermal/noise) insulation fabric used inside cars with the thermal silvery insulation. Nice.
The fire blanket is made of fiberglass. I saw in an unrelated youtube video about sound insulating walls that fiberglass is a good (and cheap) sound insulator. For walls they have rolls of a much thicker variant of it.

I saw the silvery thing being used as heat insulation under a roof in a hot tropical climate, it reduced a whole 10°C from 48°C at the underside of the roof (too bad that roof didn't have solar panels), a warehouse they were finishing building they sandwiched two layers of that silvery insulation fabric with polystyrene panels under the roof (polystyrene/silvery fabric/polystyrene/silvery fabric); wonderful thing for thermal, not sure about its sound insulation properties, but i know for a fact that polystyrene itself doesn't work for sound insulation.


Ever considered doing it abroad? Here in the Caribbean there is so much wasted sun...

The son of the warehouse owner will be taking some drone shots.

Should look nice.

Our real hope is to do a lot of these warehouse builds.

I hope you show off a drone video of this when it's all done.  I know a guy.
