That is really good! i was planning to have something like this to mine. But i still dont have enough money to start the project
Thats a really nice setup? What kinda prices do you pay for electricity there?

I don't know if you're still here but I really need to ask: what does SA means? Also, nice setup! Even tho the room feels a bit too small for me.
SA : South Africa, he even has it mentioned at location in his profile
Too bad he hasn't been active from Febrauary...
Nice growth! Have you moved to an industrial area? 300TH- you have to be getting close to the power limits at your house. We found a warehouse with 800 amps of 480v in town and plan to move our mine there.
We are now at 300TH/s (+2xL3+ and 3xD3)
This is a good example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xo0g2dKPAcQ
It's a good way to improve efficiency but it seems risky for the boards as there's a chance of damaging it. Aside from that, it's quite a nice addition if you don't want to add more miners.
That looks risky. Best is to get fresh air in and the hot air directly out. That works for us. No fans, no aircon It's a good way to improve efficiency but it seems risky for the boards as there's a chance of damaging it. Aside from that, it's quite a nice addition if you don't want to add more miners.

Have you considered using alternative cooling method as opposed to the traditional air cooling? I'm using a storage room in my office for miners but the noise is sometimes unbearable even though we have servers running in the same room with nice temperatures.
Haven't yet, wasn't necessary. What cooling are you thinking about?

Luno is a South African company that has gone multinational- you can do deposits and withdrawals into local South African accounts. Pretty much fuss free.
You do need to register and Fica , they are fully licensed, and as I understand it Naspers has a large stake in them. (Owners of DSTV, Multichoice, tencent,)
I've been using them since 2013 they used to be called bit-x
There is a big premium being charged by most traders in SA on localbitcoins

I give up on bit-x aka luno, after they charge me 0.0002btc on each mining reward deposit

I can respect that you want to keep it private.
What are you running? S9s or Avalon's?
Pure bitcoin only or do you mine other crypto's too?
We have S9s and T9s. All going strong. I heard that the Avalon is more reliable, I don't know. Haven't used it. But we haven't had any trouble with our S9s and T9s. We had 6x S7s which is also great, but only 4.7TH/s. But you can get it fairly cheap in SA now. What are you running? S9s or Avalon's?

Hi there,
We are just starting out (small) and I am wondering if someone around Gauteng can invite us to look at their farms and extract some knowledge?
You can ask questions and I'll try to answer it. We are also still new, so we're no experts. We try to keep the farm's location private' We are just starting out (small) and I am wondering if someone around Gauteng can invite us to look at their farms and extract some knowledge?

If you don't mind m asking, what are you doing with your mined coins?
Saving? Selling on Luno/ ice3x etc, or selling on Localbitcoins.com ?
And what is your electricity rate?
Why would you suggest Luno to sell them? Saving? Selling on Luno/ ice3x etc, or selling on Localbitcoins.com ?
And what is your electricity rate?
I just heard about them yesterday and some are saying they are based out of France. So you would need some kind of bank account from there or in the EU to be able to withdraw those funds if you do use them to sell.
Yeah localbitcoins would be your best bet without having to fool around with submitting all you personal information just to be able to withdraw your bitcoin from your wallet with this exchanger.
What is the temperature of your miners?
+-80° except for one chip that is 95°. I'm a bit worried about that one2 Blades on My batch 1 S9 with auto tune firmware frequently run above 110deg in a well ventilated room, even when set down to 600mhz
Another 4 x S9s and 5 x T9s on its way
Don't be. 95C is just fine. As said elsewhere, if temps get to around 105C - then - I would be uncomfortable with it.

We've moved everything over to Kano. We did use Luno. But changed to Xapo

I'm from South Africa too and am keeping my coins currently. I saved and sell where necessary and place a couple in wirex(Bitcoin debit card). Right now I've got around 260 S9's hosted in Canada with electricity less than 0.05$.
Currently mining at BCmonster since I have a high hashrate. If you'd like why don't you give us a try and mine there.
Less blocks but higher payouts. Looking at setting up a South African server for the pool.
If you would like to know more PM me and we can chat
Sent you a PM
Renting an industrial site locally will just be more costly. Definetly outsourcing to canad would be a better option

Your parents are going to be so pissed when they find out! 
Just goofing on ya. Looks good and clean, where does it vent to?

Kano and Slush are both great pools in my experience

Just goofing on ya. Looks good and clean, where does it vent to? So we are just starting out. Started in December but with only 1 Antminer S7.
So at the moment we are running:
2x Antminers S9
5x Antminers T9
Need to connect:
6x Antminers S7

I'm also from SA :p mining with just over 3PH. I've been mining at BCmonster lately as I partnered with them. Why don't you give us a shot and mine there ?
The website is www.bcmonster.com
Please PM me more info. At the moment we are on Antpool but we think of joining Kano. Pros and Cons? Thank you The website is www.bcmonster.com
Antpool TAKES your mining fees for themselves, which is typically exceeding 10% of the block pay now.
You are this charitable to them?
It is very simple, really.

I'd recommend checking out Kano and Slush for example and see what fits you the best.
Those plastic bags... 
That is just to close the holes till I get the other miners connected. (hot air coming through if its open)I see, try to get rid of them as soon as you can

Thank you for the suggestion. At the moment the room is cold enough because all the warm air goes through the flexible duct into the roof
