The 100th mine, now a "200th" mine, is supposed to be a 200th mine.
My question is WHEN ? and What's holding us back to get to 200th ?
Reinvestment ? How about; The mine is so slow to ramp up to speed that it should now become a 300th mine ?
I think the primary hold up is that don't have the actual hardware yet (maybe power concerns too)...is that right dave/tytus/jared?
Since we will be right up against our retail delivery timeframe, we are going to have to use the boards for filling retail product. Due to this, Tytus has announced an increased hashrate supply to our investors of 200TH total, to be deployed in the next two months cumulatively (not all at once at the end).
Status of boards - as I noted before, final design bugs are ironed out and boards are in production. Due to delays, we've increased the hashpower we will commit to this mine to 200TH. I'm waiting to get a shipping notice from the factory - the first boards should be headed my way in 24 - 48 hours by my estimate, but I can only wait for them to ship. Well, that and send multiple emails per day to the US VP sales. First boards will be run for 24 hours or so in order to weed out underperforming or non-performing boards - this will all be sent to the mine. After the August retail units are shipped, remaining boards will begin to accumulate hashpower for the mine. I think we can put up 200TH in 30 days, but it remains to be seen what challenges there are.
The delays gave me an opportunity to jump on something for the datacenter without introducing future downtime to the mine. I went ahead with the plan to double the power service to the building, which completed last week. This provides quite a lot of power - 2400 amps of 208v (theoretically supporting about 500kW). I have about 1500 amps routed out onto the floor now. This extra power will give me some room to push the AC systems (25 tons) to the limit and see where we can max out temps. I can add AC once I get a better sense of where the operational temperature ceiling is.
I'm sure things have changed a lot since those two statements have been made, but according to that it's either around Oct. 13th-ish or Sept. 26th-ish. Since punin is expecting to ship EU products this week, I'd imagine the next batch of hardware will arrive shortly if not already there.
