Title: Cost of Hosting Mining Equipment - Feedback Wanted
Post by: OgNasty on April 22, 2014, 09:43:17 PM
I am wondering what the cost to host mining equipment is.

What options are available for equipment hosting at the moment?

What costs would you be willing to pay to have your Bitcoin mining equipment hosted?

Why do you need to host them at a datacenter? Domestic power is cheaper than industrial power until you get very far up the chain.

Unless you are talking about serious power requirements needing 3 phase, or reselling hosting.

I don't need to host in a datacenter.  I'm simply looking for answers to my questions.  Speculation on my intentions is unnecessary.   :P

Um, OK, I was only trying to understand what you want so as to answer you properly but you've succeeded in removing that desire.

this is going to depend largely on location. data centers in BFE Kansas are going to be cheaper than downtown DC

The location would be in Northern California.  I'm not sure that matters so much since people would most likely have to ship their units to a datacenter anyway...  However, physical pickup of devices anywhere between Phoenix, San Diego and Reno is a possibility.
