I have 15gh in 5790's, its .0202/kw here but I'm running out of breakers.

5GH in a 900sqft condo, Electricity included in condo fees, not seperatly metered.
Pretty much out of circuits as well.

Are you using 120V drops? Switch to 240V, double your farm!

The guy on youtube has 50gh (9 months ago). The 150gh on eclipse is not one person. I have 15gh in 5790's, its .0202/kw here but I'm running out of breakers.

Here is the original shot of gigavps farm. Droool.......

I agree, nice setup there.

Oh, and to not hijack the topic, I have a 11 Ghash farm.

Where are you hosting those miners? It looks like an industrial space, perhaps a small warehouse?
What is your power cost per Kw/h?
How much do you estimate you have invested in terms of capital? How about man hours of effort?

You are correct that I have a rented warehouse.

My cost per Kw/h is $0.07104. It just dropped 10% Starting in March.

My initial investment costs were around $0.72/Mh not including cooling and insulation costs.

This years investments are in the $0.50/Mh range.

I don't know about everybody else's setup but yours is the best/cleanest I've seen. I wanted to copy your setup but building a custom house/babies/patients took a priority.

Thank you DrG. I appreciate your kind words.

Hey Giga,

Your install is the Tits.....no 2 ways about that. Mind answering a couple questions?

I have recently been compiling my own numbers in order to get a feel for how profitable my efforts have been thusfar. I am pleased for the most part, but have a few more variables to put into the equation.

Oh and the wife, yeah almost forgot that one. Fortunately she's humored me and allowed me to use her office (free juice). I'm up to 7.2 GH/s and I think I'll call it quits at this point since I can't find any more spots to hide rigs from her patients. I can't see myself buying singles since I don't have as much confidence in resale of the units should shit hit the fan. I just need to move my 6950 from my house to somewhere in her office since 24/7 usage is getting me close to Tier 5 with SCE and that's over $0.40 per KWH

What?!?!?! Where do you live to have crazy prices like that?

SCE = Southern California Edison, I'm guessing.

Yeah I posted a couple times in the "how much does your electricity cost" thread. I'm sure there are places in the world that are more expensive, but for a large population center the rates paid in CA are not reflective of our buying power. Just running one 6950 at home is bumping me up 2 Tiers so I want to take that to my wife's work with the free electricity. That's why even though I could drop 20 or 30k into Bitcoin I don't think I'll be able to find a suitable place in Southern California to run a "gigavps farm".

Back in October 2011 I had about 5GH/s and was # 97 when BTCGuild had 1.8TH/s. There were only 2 miners that consistently had over 40GH/s at that time. I guess the big boys were on other pools or going solo.

I would love to say the same thing but.....what do your setup look like? You have a picture or a link? Because right now, the only thing I know is this:

Code:

gigavps: I have 30 GHash.
DrG: Love your setup!

Huh, so I made that post yesterday, and today the BTCGHoF is telling me their top dog is doing 122 GH/s :o. That can't just be variance.

What I don't get is, who the hell can invest all that MONEY? What's their power bill like? Just how many FPGAs did they buy? When do they expect to recover the cost of said FPGAs? If they're using GPUs, where's all the heat going? And why can't I have their setup?

Possibly GPUMAX or Goat.

According to BTC Guild's Hall of Fame, their largest operator is doing about 71 GH/s.

And I'm currently at rank 75, with around 3 GH/s. I really expected to be much lower down.

Gigavps' was at 30ghash for a while a few months ago, but since then he has added BFL singles to his arsenal, so I'm not sure how high it is now.

Well, since I've been outed, here's the breakdown thus far.....

30Gh - GPU
5.8Gh - 7 BFL singles

Future setup......

30Gh - GPU
9.1Gh - 11 BFL singles - the last 4 are on their way

There is more stuff on the way besides the singles, but that's another 4-6 weeks out, if you know what i mean.

My GPUs don't really need anything either. Most of my rigs have weeks of uptime (until I reboot them to try something or until the power fluctuates a bit).

I rent my rigs out part time though. This is where the work lies...

46.4Ghash here. Part time job indeed...

FPGA need nothing, they just keep on hashing. As for the GPUs, now that I have a stable version of cgminer and BAMT working together, I only have one problem rig which will soon not be a problem.

Not quite sure what I'm going to do with myself once my one problem child is trained up.

Based on EMC's miner charts there is a 150-200 GH operator. The operator's GH fluctuates quite a bit, so I'm not sure what that would indicate.

This may be GPUMAX

If I remember this was supposedly Goat's pool.

I'm sure some will be able to beat that?

I started with 21 MH/s on an old Asus 9000 or something. Keep on trucking!

I did start with a CPU at almost 2 MH/s, so you both certainly beat me for the record.
Now I'm running happily at 2 GH/s, still measly as compared to those big boys Undecided

The GH/s you get from block rewards is subject to variance. Only the operator knows he true hash rate.

What is the largest mining farm that we know of? I am talking a single individual, not pool operators.

My farm is currently pushing out 23,000 MH/s

I used to think this was pretty damn beastly, but realized I have no idea who might be out there with even more massive farms.

Anyone have good knowledge of the matter and care to post a list of large miners?
