Just digging around

It really depends on the size of the mine. You can run up to (maybe) 20 S9 units in any rental which has the usual ~50KW connected. Original wiring probably won't be able to handle even this fairly small load. The Electric company could get mad too if that transformer is shared and you pull 80% of the capacity 24H...

You need to check with the local electric company if more power is available. Than pay for it (XX-XXXK USD). Than pay for the new inside wiring and breakers about the same. Than comes the cold and/or the hot temperature problem depending where you are (cooling).

If all solved you just have to order the miners

Hi there,

My first post on Bitcoin forum. I am just getting started in looking to set-up a small to medium (if we scale in the future) mining farm. Usually commercial areas have cheaper electricity so I am thinking of renting one, but am concerned of some unseen obstacles that I have not thought about yet and was wondering if anyone with experience could give me some guidance.

Another worry is electricity supply. I know I'll probably need to have an electrician redo the circuit board or something refit it for that much electric consumption. But now I am thinking, are electric supply cap in some areas? In other words if I just rented just any commercial building, is it possible there is a limit in how much electricity can go through it at any given time and there is nothing the electrician can do about it? I recognize this may be a dumb question.
