Title: warehouse or office space for setting up mining equipment Post by: mxc0bbn on July 03, 2013, 11:03:13 PM I've been thinking about moving my operation to a commercial space, but I'm not sure how to look for a place with enough juice. I know I will need at least 140-150 amps for housing my expanded operation. Plus enough juice to run cooling units...
Is this even possible or am I thinking about a dedicated data center? Just wondering.

Charge a bunch of people to come power your rigs, and use water from the swimming pool to cool down your chips and customers. ;)

But OP: You're thinking of a dedicated DC. I'll be offering hosting services soon with the cheapest electricity rates in the country. --Garrett Title: Re: warehouse or office space for setting up mining equipment Post by: ElitePork on July 04, 2013, 07:14:26 AM Open a gym where the bikes and treadmills are rigged up to generate electricity.

We will have healthier population follow by a warm swimming pool!Edit: BitFit Tip jar: 1AR2FxnFK9cxZ4YbU6hn1hWW1N3JiCEjYk *Claps hands* :D Title: Re: warehouse or office space for setting up mining equipment Post by: demontn on July 04, 2013, 05:25:58 PM Hey guys, i can host your rigs for cheap (i have free electricity), i am already hosting a rig for a guy from Miami (Jawher , Can yu give your feedback about my service?),.
If interested PM me :) Title: Re: warehouse or office space for setting up mining equipment Post by: Trongersoll on July 04, 2013, 06:18:05 PM I have mine set up under an umbrella in my driveway. :-[

As a more serious suggestion, you might want to look at factory / light industry type commercial spaces. These will be more likely to have the power requirements you need, but ensure that they have single phase power that meets your requirements (ie. not just a lot of 3 phase). Plus, there will be plenty of space and you wont have complaints from anyone about a huge number of high speed fans running 24/7.

Just wondering. What you are looking for is modest and should be easy to find, especially in a commercially rented environment. Depending on where you look, finding even 1000sq ft with 400 amps isn't hard. Getting power in commercial environments is never hard, most warehouse spaces can easily house large test units (we used to have four 600VA test units in an area about 3500sq ft, granted my last company did utility grade solar inverters). Just my garage even has 100 amps, so 140-150 is nothing.

Title: Re: warehouse or office space for setting up mining equipment Post by: sinner on July 12, 2013, 10:00:34 AM how much maintenance does a GPU or ASIC rig require? Is it feasable to rent some warehouse space, set up some rigs, and leave them there for weeks/months on end? I move around a lot but want to mine so renting office space seems like a good option.

I'd not be able to say as accurately as someone with several rigs or months more experience but..So long as you had remote desktop access to your rigs, checked on them every once in awhile via that, and remote rebooted them time to time, it would seem possible. Granted, this requires that you have stable clocks/settings, which requires a deal of configuration. If the power flickers, or goes out for a few hours, you can set your rig to auto boot as soon as the power is restored. So, it might be feasible, but I personally couldn't say for sure.

i'm looking to set up some rigs somewhere and do a lot of travelling. would this really be feasible to do? |
