soo bitcoin mining still profitable to some big miners invest 1 milion at this point i would call it insanity for sure,why not buy direct the bitcoins into the market instead try to mine?well the dream keeps alive for some who has balls to invest .

Yes, one has to be a bit ballsy right now to mine. I'm doing it still with $0.10 cents per kWH. I don't think I will make the move to Washington State the last quarter of this year or first quarter of next year as previously planned. I'm in "wait and see" mode concerning what KnC and Spondoolie's will add to the network hash rate in the future. I would hate to get out there, only to find I need to double my hash rate 3 or 4 months after arriving to mine the same amount of bitcoin I mined when I first arrived.

I ordered 9 x S7's the other day. I was planning on ordering 21 more S7's in December but now I'm only going to order 11 more S7's in December. I'm using the rest of the money I would have spent on the other ten S7's to open up an E-Cig store here in Alabama. A buddy of mine has 13 E-Cig stores open now and is clearing over $60,000 a month from all of them combined. He's riding around in a convertible Mercedes after two years with his house paid off. So, I figure it's worth a shot to open one and open another one 4 months afterwards. Then open two of them every 4 months until I have 10 or more of them within a 100 mile radius of my location.

I'm doing this cause I think it's important to be a bit more cautious at this point in the game as a serious home miner. I want to have some rigs mining in the hope of having rigs going at the right point in time before a potential pump in bitcoin price. The rigs could easily pay for themselves in a much shorter time if we have a big pump within the next 3 to 6 months. I think everyone knows the price of the S7 would rise considerably if bitcoin price rises considerably. It would be advantageous to buy the S7 now while it's cheap or do not buy it at all. If one waits until a BTC price pump, the price of the S7 will out of ROI reach for many who choose to get in that late after a pump.

So, I'm gambling by mining with 20 of them by end of December in the hopes of a BTC pump coming soon. I think it's too risky for me to buy anymore than that at this time with $0.10 cents per kWH. One who is paying less than $0.05 cents per kWH is in more of a position to gamble with more HW than I am. Yet, still it is gambling quite a bit. We just don't know yet how much HW KnC and Spondoolie's will add to the network.

Spoondoolies is done. so don't worry about them adding hashrate. KNC has a ton of overhead and isn't as competitive anymore. They produced solar on 16nm fin 1 process, but at a huge costs for tapeout and being an early adapter. Sure they are private and have huge efficiency but take a look at how small there total hashrate is... Its tiny. 4% of the network for KNC... We have more than that and our company is a fraction of the capital investments. I would agree we're at about .05 cents all in including cooling and overhead. Lets face it, if your in the bitcoin mining world, bitmain sort of crushed the competition. The logistics and capabilities that company have far exceed any capabilities KNC, and Bitfury have of keeping up... Spoondoolies is gone, and everything else is gone.

I don't think even with a huge price jump that you would be extremely profitable. Your best way as a home miner to make money is, buy direct from Bitmain, mine for 2 months at high profits, then sell the miner for 90% of cost, and make money by reselling. That's about your best bet.

LMAO, look at one of my older posts, I knew for a fact this facility would overheat based on what I saw... Little do these guys realize, you need about 150cfm per KW of airflow... That facility @ 1.2mw does not have a 275,000+ cfm worth of airflow through 36'' ducts...

What a joke, the concrete structure makes it a heat trap / chimney. The white smoke test they did took several minutes to clear out... We fully cycle our air from intake to exhaust every 6 seconds... Yeah, so a white smoke test in a properly designed facility @ 100cfm per square foot vacating air allows you to keep your units cool. And the smoke test, would simply flow from intake, through exhaust, and be 100% clear in less than 10 seconds..

These guys are attempting to condition air, and not move enough of it, leaving them with massive hotspots, and expensive PUE, and a horribly inefficient system.. The only thing you have is .03c per KW/h compared to china's .04 / .05 cents per KW/h

Can't wait until we go public in some of our assets so everyone understands why they can't compete... I mean, look at Bitfury, they have a facility in Georgia (the country Georgia) directly under a hydro powerplant, paying less than .03c per kw/h, evaporate only, don't have to worry about compressors, and have about 20mw+ of capacity and expanding...

With the changes in heat sink design and methodology as well, you don't even need to treat the air.. You just have to move a lot of air, even if its 90 degrees across the chips rapidly and your fine... At least the direction bitmani is going with there small chip set.

Good luck if you go in this facility.. Why do you think Spoondoolies took one look at the facility and said no way... They decided to go to a different datacenter in Washington and a footprint @ vern global Iceland instead? Bitcoin miners consist of two groups now, large industrial players, and hobbyist, don't expect to make a dime... Its a hobby YOU pay for, not get rich on... You can't compete with my sub 40-50 dollar per KW cost including overhead staffing and cooling... And the fact that in massive orders, we pay about 50% of what normal people pay for equipment from the manufacturers due to large scale contracts.

If you have free power, and live in a cold place, YES! you can make money, these guys can't even make money if they are by themselves building this facility with compressors and attempting to treat air. I'm sure the capital for the contractors they used too was excessive as well, that looks like a very expensive facility that can't even run at 60% of its promised capacity during the hot months... You guys are lucky its cooling down, you'll have 6 months to get your shit together.

We can compete with you and everything is properly cooled and is running on quality infrastructure. You make some great points. We choose to grow slower but build better and still offer the best price.

So you're telling me, that you can compete, with my facility, if I were for a significant profit, offer $50.00 per Kw per month hosting once we finish our 5mw expansion for possibly hosting other large clients?

FYI, we used remote power switching PDU's, tied into a miner monitoring software that automatically reboots the miners if there is a problem. If the unit doesn't come back up after a failed reboot, then an alert is setup to the NOC and to our guys at the DC for them to work on the unit... We run @ about 99.95% uptime from all our units. Even miners that freeze, or have blades go down every 12 hours still run at about 95-98% efficiency because of our ability to monitor and remote reboot the units...

This allows me to reduce the amount of labor costs. Oh also, in an emergency if we loose an evaporate cooler, the system can automatically load shed (turn off the units) before they begin to overheat and cause permanent damage to the ASIC's, an event you had earlier in April...

Our goal is to offer mining contracts to people, not host miners, direct, as we can purchase units at 50% of cost wholesale, and actually pass on real profits to individual customers, while still making margins on the hosting and the unit / resell, but offer power rates equivalent to $50 per kw instead of $60, and once cap X is paid off in a couple of years, we will have operation costs in the $30 dollar range with maintenance and personal.

What mining company do you have an agreement to get at 50 percent of wholesale? That is a heck of a goal. I would sure be interested if you can get units for close to that.... but I'm not sure I see 50 percent happening.

This is also first time I have seen hosting companies argue.... very interesting

No argument here, just stating a fact. Who wants a provider in a race to the bottom? At a point something is sacrificed. No free lunch.

It's impressive what a million dollar level purchasing power will get you. Remember, economies of scale, ASIC manufacturers make a lot of profit on the units when they sell to the public. We have NDA's, but its around 50%

When will you be able to offer these miners to public at this price? At 50 percent you will find a lot of buyers.

I think the problem is some people try to be cheap. They expect a asic data center to be like a server data center. They are nothing alike on cooling. Were talking about a lot more money into cooling.

Depending on climate evaporation, just massive CFM, etc. Depending on climate is best cooling method. But regular AC is never going to be good for asic data centers.

Seeing the damaged ant miner units form heat and problems I would not even host my equipment at your data center. Going off the picture the way everything is laid out and your air flow management looks shocking and needs a lot of work on it. If you have had record temperatures and cooling problems then this clearly indicates you need to re design your infrastructure.

Be warned: Their "data center" is virtually inoperational since two weeks.
They have network, heat and communication problems.
Their technical capabilities are limited to run an operation this magnitude.
Stay away for the time being.

Hi Stefan,

We did have a period of network and cooling issues, but I'm glad to say that has been resolved and customers will be refunded for any downtime.

I'm working to implement some new technology to make sure it doesn't happen again.

Robert

Well if that has been in place then this should make things better but to be honest seeking the pictures from over heated miners and also blown chips on them would have to exceed boiling temps for this to be caused.

Going over CryptoCoin2015 posts with most of his equipment damaged due to this human error I do hope you have some cover on equipment or polices in place for events like that to cover for broke equipment and for new ones to replace them.

If it was me in your position with all the problems you have I would close shop, or to run at an optimal speed until all factors are covered but your main problem I can see from your location is design and that is something you guys really need to look into fixing the way your intake of air is and out take and surroundings, also your way the layout of your customers miners are. If you want help in re designing and having a lot better air flow less energy bills feel free to contact me.

they didnt design it this way, the building is an old fruit storage warehouse for a juice company(treetop). it was engineered for an entirely different purpose, and they thought they could use it for another, as you can see it didnt work out well. the local grapevine says the whole thing was not designed by datacenter engineers, which is probably why it failed with our 110+ degree days, that people not from here apparently were not expecting.

Yup, without the head space to capture all the hot air those building must get smoking hot!

I think that they have the additional height for air flow, since an INCREDIBLE amount of heat would be generated by all the ASICs running in that room, assuming they're all running at full capacity.

But planning for the future wouldn't be a bad idea, once an ROI is made, they can continue to expand, if they feel like it is the right decision.

Mining since 2010 & Hosting since 2012

Everyone who has posted I wanted to say that this business is hard so please take that in mind when you go HAM on operators. 95% aren't even willing to put their hard earned money into building a datacenter. You should be grateful people were willing to do that so you even had an option outside of a traditional datacenter. Colo startups give you terms and pricing you will never see in the traditional datacenter. I coincide there is a philosophy of cutting corners to save money but usually the people learn that it cost them more in the long run compared to growing slower. I get the frustration but don't lose sight that these brave people have put a lot of effort into this to give miners another option, me included.

Cheers,

very nice cooling setup ideal place for mining setup really high roof will help to keep place cool which miner are you planing to use there and looks like difficulity is going up more with more and more mining setups like these home mining will just die like its already in progress
