Title: Coin laundry to Bitcoin Farm
Post by: UnknownBTC on May 27, 2017, 05:55:59 PM
As you read guys i've been looking for a place to mine in the last 2 weeks with no luck so far whatever my real state agent found for me would have a shitty and limited electricity installations so i was brain storming and i though about an old Coin Laundry i assumed that a miner could use the same power cord that a Dryer/Washer Machine wo it would be basically plug and play if find a cheap one, what you guys think?

I've looked seriously at coin laundromats as a place to convert into a farm.

 Power wouldn't be an issue - plenty of outlets, though you'd probably have to rewire them to split the circuits in the drier areas or use a ton of PUDs.
 Cooling - might be a bit marginal, but they USUALLY have some way to vent most of the hot air from the driers out of the building so it SHOULD be manageable.

 The real trick seems to be finding one that's out of business or going out - coin laundromats don't seem to die very often.



 The other question - are the driers Electric (which WOULD work) or GAS (which would NOT work well, as the power available would be a lot lower, washers don't use all that much power).
