That's a hard question, since very few publish data.

Off the top of my head:

There's a gigantic facility in Inner Mongolia that is probably 10MW+ and is probably somewhere around 15PH.

KNC has a 20MW facility in north Sweden.

Bitfury has a 20MW facility in the Republic of Georgia, plus plans to build another bigger facility.

There's a few other 5MW+ facilities in China scattered around.

The largest mine I'm aware of in North America is 3 or 4MW.

Edit: I forgot Iceland, a couple of large but sub 10MW facilities there.

WHERE IS THE BIGGEST BTC MINE ?

I'd say the country that has the highest total hashrate is China. Iceland is doing well, but cannot compete with China.


WHO OWNS THE BIGGEST BTC MINE ?

For the China mines, the owners are most of the time investors who won a lot of money with buildings in big China towns like Shanghai or Shenzen. For the rest of the world I don't know.

Would be nice to see some nice videos about big BTC mines. There are some big Mines around in the world so far no clue if you buy hashrate at the biggest one in the world.

It is a good list I just wish I knew who is pushing up difficulty 20 each period lately on difficulty.  I wonder if it is Bitfury, they would make the most sense with new chips. 

But I could see some other's doing a lot trying to get last ROI out of some current gen chips before they have to have new generations.  Like Avalon 6, and S7.

BW.com has been adding quite a bit of hash lately (they appear to have the B-Eleven finally in production for internal use but no external sales yet), probably a combination of them and continuing S7 / Avalon 6 sales and possibly some early Bitfury newgen folks.

They did sell a LOT of hash to when they did the listing of it.  Could be interesting to see all the new machines they do to fill this order, and if they wait till after before going for outside customers.

Perhaps the best things about them is maybe we can get BW and Hashnest to compete a little and cause a little competition.  Hashnest having such high number of market is not really a good thing when pricing for sales.
