Title: Data Center Space Share Post by: Youngbill on July 06, 2013, 01:50:11 PM Hello all,
I just got into mining about a week ago and have learned so much so far. I have an idea I want to get your opinion on. I'm the CIO of a medium sized financial company and as such I have complete control over our data centers. Lets say I have power, space and AC to spare; would it be feasible to host someone's equipment and somehow share the profits? I wouldn't want to host any unwieldy GPU rigs but ASIC equipment would blend into the environment well. My small stack of USB ASICs look like they belong :) I would love to hear feedback form everyone. Thanks, Bill Title: Re: Data Center Space Share Post by: c789 on July 06, 2013, 05:41:19 PM Sure, you COULD do that...but I'd talk with your lawyer first. For example, what happens if your power goes out and your client demands that you compensate them? Or if the equipment is damaged (which could be totally their fault for overclocking it) and they decide to sue you?
A casual reading of the news shows that there are MANY lawsuits that seem ridiculous to the average person but they end up winning. Just something to consider. You'd better have a tight user contract absolving you of any and all "mishaps." Title: Re: Data Center Space Share Post by: Youngbill on July 06, 2013, 08:31:32 PM Thanks, good info!

Title: Re: Data Center Space Share Post by: Youngbill on July 08, 2013, 07:33:29 PM Why not use the space for your own in-house mining operation? . I am but I don't have much equipment. I think it could be mutually beneficial for someone that has a hand full of ASIC equipment to have it run in a room that's secure, 70 degrees at all times, has UPS and generator backup and 100 megabit Internet connectivity. If I had more money I'd fill the space with my own equipment :)Bill |
