Want to see a video of the mine?

It's much cooler and gives you a sense of the raw scale much better than any youtube video photo.

Check it out: https://youtu.be/lMq_TmqRGDk

Hi All!

We just upgraded our cooling: check it out. Smiley

Does anyone know a coin of this model?

There are two parts: shares and coins.

Shares mine/mint via proof of stake to generate coins.

Closest thing I've found is Nubits.

Any others?

For the entire second half of that second video, what am I supposed to be seeing?  Nothing changed.

All right ASICSPACE, here's your chance to prove to me that this hairbrained scheme will work.  Answer my questions.

How much money did you spend renting this place, buying the miners, and building all this crap?

Who paid for it?

How long do you expect ROI to take?

With bitcoin difficulty already sky high and price low low, who among you thought this was a good idea?

I hope it works, but I see a financial failure in the making.  Like dmward's half-assed idea, but on a larger scale.

It's good you have a lot of questions.

I'll let you know a bit about the economics of our wee venture.

Bitcoin could plummet to $40 tomorrow and miners here would still be making twice as much $ as their power cost.

Can you say ca ching?  Cool



We have only built out 20% of the capacity our high voltage transformer provides. We bring power at 12700 volts direct to the complex.
If any investors want a piece of the action, my email is robert@asicspace.com.

Whats the total CFM capacity this facility has?  Also, what type of 'cooling' infrastructure do you have to keep all these miners cool? Evaporate cooling only? What do you expect your intake temperature to be with the maximum wet bulb during the year?  I have no doubt when its 30 degrees outside you have no problem keeping this place cool, but based on your design you don't have controlled hot air isles.

Honestly it looks like this place and all the equipment is going to cook when the temperature reaches 75 degrees / 80 degrees and they have 1mw of active miners running... Once you reach the tipping point, the temperature will rise indefinitely until units are shut off... 

Do you know exactly how many BTU's only 1 mw of equipment will put out? 3,412,142 BTU per hour, that takes, 285 refrigerator tons to cool....  With no redundancy...  I'm sorry I look at that ducting, and it appears no rhyme or reason was put into the facilities air cooling capacity layout... I've spent tons of time in data-centers before, and this thing looks like a disaster when your ambient temperature and wetbulb start to hit your summer months...  Its one thing if you have duct-ed / forced airflow and can provide 200cfm per KW (150cfm is standard per kw in normal environment) to dissipate / remove the heat out rapidly (200,000 cfm for 1 mw), but I can't figure out how you will accomplish this in your current configuration...

I mean I'd love to be proven wrong here, but what type of capabilities does your environmental system have to actually keep this equipment cool outside of the winter months?

Let me tell you, next gen systems like spoondoolies etc, hate it when the temperature climbs above 80f - 85f degrees

Funny you ask about HVAC.  We conducted a white smoke test yesterday, analyzing the airflow rates and patterns within the space and mechanical systems.  The testing involved a 20,000 CFM white smoke machine.

Here are some videos:

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/tfh7kv34et3pqcj/AADbk68adixTPU5s6JdPDu88a/MVI_4159.AVI?dl=0

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/tfh7kv34et3pqcj/AABZgB2Cv4XRMwqopQO4ANiqa/MVI_0094.AVI?dl=0&m=1

We have acheived this with only the HVAC for the first phase of our deployment. Will double the capacity of both supply air and exhaust air before the summer, as well as add several 60 ton compressor based AC units. We track hotspots based on a 3D grid of temp sensors we have in the mine, and will be adjusting ducting and containment to deal with any problems.

As you can see, the 20,000 CFM of white smoke clears in a matter of seconds in these videos, which is a visual verification of the fact that the room is changing air at the shelf level every 5-10 seconds currently.

So $80 per KWH is like $0.12/KwH

Don't most people in most places have cheaper electricity in their private home and at least cost the same?

The average rate in the US is about $.12/kwh, and that's not counting summer cooling costs, so yeah, it's about the same. But, the average home is very limited in power capacity, noise levels, etc. Sure, you can host a terahash or two, but not much more without a lot of effort.

We go as low as $75, which is about $0.10 per kwh.
28  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Pics of Large Miner Hosting Center Under Construction on: January 28, 2015, 01:21:47 AM
So how much would it cost in total to host the sp20 mini farm (15 sp20s all pulling around 1.2KW(1200 watts))

How about PSU's I assume those would have to be shipped as well ?  Sounds really risky to send all that hardware to a hosting company with no guarntees

Depends on if you'd like to prepay your contract or not.

Prices range from:

$75-$90/kw/month

We can source PSUs for about $76 each for the SP20.

I can give you contact info of a few customers which have done that and send you some pics.

PM me your email and I'll shoot you a sample contract.

Thanks!

@ASICSPACE No PDU yet. The available space is ~ 2000m2 fully air-conditioned. Should be enough cooling power for a few hundred units.

Honestly, I'd have to see the space, but I doubt you'd be able to fit much more than 200 kw in that space without additional cooling.
If you're going to use your MW you will need a cooling solution.

If you need some advice or consulting catch me on skype at: robertvankirk. I have extensive experience in the mine design and cost cutting.
30  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: FREE electrical power available - but no knowledge of bitcoins on: January 23, 2015, 06:49:22 PM
OK. Once again: I am really new to this. Let's say I would invest about 10K KWD (US$ 36.000) in equipment. Power and air-condition is free. If the machines would run day and night. Is there a way to calculate when I break even (Assuming the worth of a BTC would stay at today's value)? Can the profit be guaranteed?

Do you have electrical distribution to PDUs or outlets? How many tons of AC do you have?
31  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Pics of Large Miner Hosting Center Under Construction on: January 23, 2015, 06:42:18 PM
All very impressive but is this still viable with the current price? I would have though investors will be very nervous right now.

12-month pre-payment plan ($80/kwh), 2 TH/s:

If you have the most efficient miners at .5 J/GH, income is $137/mo, hosting is $80, you are sitting at net $57/mo.
If you have the average miners at .7 J/GH, income is $137/mo, hosting is $112, you are sitting at net $25/mo.
If you have old miners at 1.0 J/GH, income is $137/mo, hosting is $160, you are sitting at negative $23/mo.

and that doesnt include hardware either. seeing as most miners are at least $500 + shipping. that leaves you with negative numbers, even at $80 a month.
your reply doesnt exactly make since because thats how an investment works. If you have a 1,000 investment plan that can garuntee you ROI in the first month its a ponzi or similar scam.

If you mine in 90% of the US in your personal home with personal power rates your ROI chances will be slimmer than with ASICSPACE

Take a look at your power bills if your paying more than 0.1 a KWH then your paying more than asicspace charges you and you also have 0 insurance and you must listen to your nagging wife/gf about all the heat and noise of your miners.

An antminer s5 at asicspace will ROI in about 8 months if the price stays as low as it is if it goes up then your looking easily at 100 day roi (normal ROI for ASIC mining equipment at least on all of mine)

If nothing changes all year (price or difficulty ) youll make 200$ easy with an s5 and a 1 year contract at asicspace.


To someone who has already bought their miner, what they paid for it is a sunk cost. The question is can they save money by switching to us? For a lot of our customers, the answer is yes.

The next question they should ask is..... what do they have as a guarantee that you dont close down and take their hardware? even if you agree to ship their hardware back, the cost of shipping alone (round trip) would negate any saving they have from electrical cost.


In other words: they take MORE risk to send hardware to some guy on forums. I dont care if you post pics of your mansion and mistress. Your company is younger than my pimple.


You've had a pimple for 11 months? Really should have that checked out by a dermatologist.  Grin

Oh dont worry, its gone... just like your company will be soon.

PS. nice ignoring my point idiot.


Oh you mean when you asked what we have to prove that we can't simply disappear and abscond with your hardware?

 I mean we have professional contracts, people know us and our location, etc., but in any relationship you can get screwed over and legal action is a pain in the ass.

We're hoping by building good relationships with customers and being open and honest we can gain the communities trust. Any suggestions? Feel free to visit us and our facility. Smiley

Do you still have room, it's been quiet here
Barbara

We still have plenty of space, so we'll be dropping our prices from $80-$95 to $75-$90.

In fact we're still expanding the site, we'll be putting in about ~400 kw over the next two months.

Any vets around who've used ASICSPACE?  So far all I see is questionable newbies talking about them, and the posts don't make 100% sense.

I can get you in touch with some of our larger customers if you're interested in hosting.

I'm interested, looks really good you got there!

We launched yesterday. =) It's great to see all of the spondoolies and bitmain miners arriving. We've been able to deploy fairly quickly, and we hope to provide remote access for our customers pretty soon.
39  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Pics of Large Miner Hosting Center Under Construction on: January 03, 2015, 05:53:56 AM
This mining farm will be an epic fail soon, as BTC prices continue to fall.  Someone will lose a lot of money on this project.

We have about a third of the mine sold, and it hasn't even launched yet.
I think we will be ok.  Cheesy

Where are you located? Are you sure you power isn't coming in at 480V?

Hey ASICSPACE, thanks for chiming in. I'm not currently disclosing the location of the warehouse that I'm considering to lease. But yes, I'm sure unfortunately, that it's currently at 208v. One can upgrade to 480v and get more power as well, but again, those costs are heavy $30-80k all inclusive I'd guess conservatively; still, could be worthwhile if I could raise the money. Got around $30k of my own to invest, but probably would need more to be safe.

If you're in WA, and need help with capital, build expertise, and operations, let me know.
