Very nice reading.  I like to know the costs for each option.

Is immersion cooling the most expensive?

Direct Air will be your cheapest option but least reliable overall because you are at the mercy of the outside weather.  Next is standard DX cooling up to 20 tons.   Then I would say evaporative (done right) then water chillers.  Immersion is the most expensive unless you are doing a large farm, then I think there may be a case for it.   I can see were it may be more cost effective doing immersion over many large water chilling HVAC systems.

It was an explosion of explosives housed in a warehouse at the port.  It looks to possibly be a military storehouse so there could be other chemicals and such burning up as well.

Miners,

I am starting a series of articles shedding light into some of the challenges we have faced running large Bitcoin mines.  I am trying to publish 3 a week until I run out of subjects.   Here is my latest, hope you enjoy.

Also you have to think it will take 12-24 months to build the facility and get it tuned and running.  Very ambitious though.

well you know, everything depends about the money you can spend on it, and if those things come from them... i mean you know they have lot of money...

btw about that "HashingSpace Data Center Planned" looks pretty awesome, if this become truth, this will be a monster build hash Smiley

True but planning and permitting will take time, utility work will take time.   So many items to get it online, even with a ton of cash there is a certain baked in time that can't be avoided.  It will be impressive once built.

Take 50% for gear and 50% for hosting and get the most efficient hardware you can buy reasonably. 
186  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: Good Price per KWH for Mining? on: August 11, 2015, 12:29:26 AM
Hello! I've always had a interest in Mining, so I was wondering what a good $ per KWH is. In my area I pay a little above $0.07.

What do you pay? What's the best price for profitable mining?

The best price is definitively "free" electricity(of course). But for operation where you have to pay by kWh, a good price is 0.03USD~/kWh.
You probably don't need that low to ROI on a proper purchase, but keep in mind that's what you're competing with.
Damn that is insanely cheap, where is that even at? Must be somewhere near nuclear or tons of natural resources for power!

That price is in Washington State if its in the U.S.  We are on this grid and the prices are true.

Everyone who has posted I wanted to say that this business is hard so please take that in mind when you go HAM on operators.  95% aren't even willing to put their hard earned money into building a datacenter.  You should be grateful people were willing to do that so you even had an option outside of a traditional datacenter.  Colo startups give you terms and pricing you will never see in the traditional datacenter.  I coincide there is a philosophy of cutting corners to save money but usually the people learn that it cost them more in the long run compared to growing slower.   I get the frustration but don't lose sight that these brave people have put a lot of effort into this to give miners another option, me included.


Cheers,

191  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2015-08-06] CS - HashingSpace Plans to Build Data Center in Washington on: August 08, 2015, 03:45:12 AM
They going to need the services of a legal expert like Marco Santori on Bitcoin matters, if they are going to go into the cloud mining scene. Most people feel, these services are only elaborate Ponzi schemes and we

have seen what happens with most of these services in the long run. The most positive thing to come from this, is the Bitcoin ATM and the mining Pool... We need some competition for the Chinese and we need

more ATM's on the ground. Good luck with your venture.  Wink

I agree, the Chinese need some strong competition from U.S. based players.   This is a global currency that needs a globally diverse base.
192  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: What is your electricity price on: August 08, 2015, 03:25:11 AM
Is that 0.023 your final rate all up, or your base rate?




I have a couple small surcharges but those add up to maybe 50 bucks.

 How much power are you using to count $50 as "small surcharges"?

 8-O

A lot of power Smiley

but i see DELL rack..
and this are for store servers blade...
what about mining services?
where are ASICS miners??

maybe i don't understand!!!

 Huh Huh Huh Huh Huh Huh


Dell makes server racks along with other data-center equipment.   Once the build is completed (today), we will start populating the racks with miners.  We have some Spoondoolies SP 35 then some Antminer S4.

HashingSpace Hires Legal Expert on Bitcoin

Wenatchee-based Bitcoin ASIC mining and hosting company HashingSpace Corporation (OTCQB: HSHS) has announced that it has secured the services of Marco Santori, a legal expert on Bitcoin and block chain.

http://www.newsbtc.com/2015/08/04/hashingspace-hires-legal-expert-on-bitcoin/

Are they related to Megabigpower?

Nope, Dave Carlson is MBP.  HashingSpace is a new integrated service provider start-up.

Total rate in Chelan and Douglas counties have been a bit higher than that lately with the drought surcharges. Still in the 3 cent/KWH ballpark EVERYTHING figured in.

 They're more "North/Central" than "Eastern" Washington too, though it seems like everything more than 30 miles east of Redmond is counted as "Eastern" by a lot of folks.




 I wouldn't count 98% availability as "good" for electric service. In 7 years I've been at my current location, we've accumulated a total downtime of about 4 days - 3 of those during a MASSIVE ice storm that covered several states a couple years back. More years than not have been ZERO downtime. I've seen similar levels of availability everywhere I've lived in the US - 99.5% or better is the NORM here in recent years.




People from around here consider themselves in Eastern Washington, it is more the cultural identification.  Personally we have not had any downtime by the PUD (knock on wood).   With that said, we are on a high availability grid so that may have something to do with it. 
199  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: The cost of electricity in the world on: August 04, 2015, 07:16:43 PM
Eastern Washington:  $0.027 to $.023 per Kwh.  The cheapest period especially when you figure the legal protections and ease of logistics in the United States.
