...I have 50gh on eth and seeing that price drop is very crappy, damn you goldman sachs!  It will recover and honestly if i had extra $ i'd buy all the eth i could.
~snip~
50gh on eth thats asics? , I like this drop since asics can only mine eth ,
hope it goes to $100 so those E3s become papper weights while we switch to monero

No asics.  All machines.  I am still optemistic on eth so thats what i mine.  Jumping from coin to coin daily is just not worth it for me as i have too many machines to move even in linux with a global change. 

With 50 GHs on Ethash, seem good!  Shocked
Are all that machines is yours? Or your client? Since I know, you were offering a hosting service, Minerdude right?

Have you tried for solo mining? e.g., on another Ethash coin (other than ETH)

Those are all mine.  I have a client with 42 or so gh as well.  Another that just sent 200 S9 and 100 ltc.  They have not arrived tho.  A few others in here too.

Key though, you are still earning 10$ a day.  Yeah it sucks but if you saw 10$ in the street you wouldn't walk over it would you?

I wouldn't. I just don't like ETH anymore. The chain is bloated, the devs don't know what they want, keep pushing back on deadlines, and to top it off, are still unable to distribute a working core wallet. The latest version does not allow you to send coins or tokens. Go figure.

If I was able to sell the ETH that are stuck in my wallet, I'd buy XMR. Or RVN. In a heartbeat.

crazy , well you could move maybe 20% of them to monero ,

personally i have 40 machines and i have 10 on awesominer mining btc via profit switiching 20 on monero and 10 on eth

I have a few asics for LTC and BTC but rest machines.  here is a link of my building =)

I was contemplating splitting some into monero as I got about half machines AMD the others nvidia.

Yeah, I quickly changed it from parts and pcs to data center.  It looks horrible.  I am about to get some bids on making it nice and accepting crypto automatically like the anti-christ bitmain does etc. If interested hit me up.

You dont have a 7 year write off.  Section 179 was 500K instant and up to 2mill accelorated BUT since new Trump tax laws hit Section 179 is gone and its just the law.  So you can write off instantly any amount with a few exceptions like a building etc.  If it can be removed and taken with you then it can be instantly depreciated.  A driveway for example can't.

Hope that helps and of course talk to you tax guy.  If he is not a dip shit he will be aware of this stuff.

The reason i built my 4mw building was because of the tax hits I can avoid.  Well not avoid just kicking the can down the road is a better analogy.

Ya what is was:  Stupid calculator was not working correctly.  I moniored actual drops in my account and they were inline as to what I was expecting.  Moral to the story:  DO THE MATH every now and then, the calculators could be wrong.
228  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / ETH Hash seems about same but... on: August 13, 2018, 03:07:41 PM
Did they implement an award reduction or something that I don't know about.  I know price has dropped but I have the same hash and for the past week lost like 20% coin production.  I have been looking at difficulty and it has actually dropped from what I can see, and hash rate is pretty stable now.  Any idea?  Or am I just a tard reading difficulty and hash wrong.

Thanks!

Yep these are Server tech metered and switched cdu's 3 phase 208v 30A

Raritan bought them.  They are 8.4 so you can run 6 s9 or anything else about that power per 1K cdu.  Sweet huh!  Cost of doing shizzy correct.

Crazy day today at the markets.

I remember back in Jan 2015, I wanted to buy some ASICs cheap.

I lowballed a few people on Craiglists. Most rejected my offer.

Then when BTC hit like $150 USD that crazy day sometime in Jan 2015, I replied to all those people to see if any of them would re-consider my offer.

One guy did, sold me an Antminer for practically nothing and BTC was never lower than that day ever. I felt bad a little because the guy most likely paid retail for that Antminer plus customs and after a few months, maybe would of ROI'd if he never sold it.

The risks we take.  Don't feel bad because he decided to bail and you took a massive risk.  I just did the same on 50 L3+ for cheap since they make like 10 cents a day.  But i'm just gonna hold all the coins it makes and hope they spike hard.

Great project Smiley! Love to see projects like this. Interested what PDUs are you using, im strugling to find any on decent price that can take higher Amps? Good luck with this and I think you are on the right path Smiley.

I have 10% off for ebucks   so this unit is   under 590 new

649.99 - 65 =  584.99 - 12 on pay pal cc =  572.99  for a  new card with 3 year warranty

IF they honor the warranty.  Make sure there is no doubt to them that you are a not miner, because if they think you are the warranty is instantly void according to their new policy.


I have not had an issue but I was warned by EVGA any new card purchases would be subject to the small warranty.

I keep mining through the bad times, unless you all just sell as soon as you get it (and I guess thats a bunch of you) this is just a phase.  We old timers have seen it 50 times before.  ITS NOT A LOSS UNLESS YOU SELL IT NOW.  If you have to pay your bills with mining proceeds, then yeah sell your rigs and trade in coins.
235  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Thinking about developing a miner software on: August 07, 2018, 10:51:05 PM
Hello all,

I think about developing an AMD GPU miner for Linux. It will be optimized for large scale farms and I have some great new ideas (no details yet)

A very short question for everybody. Do you think there is a demand?

Thanks

not really unless its just spectacular.  There are a few already out there and some you probably never heard of.

Large farms = not many so you just narrowed your target to 1% of miners, probably less.

And if you provide no speed benefit, stability or savings then no one will use you.

Past performance is not an indicator of future results.  The landscape has change.  Your numbers are all out of wack.  I'm making negative each day after electric cost avg of 28 cents.

Saying we make $5-7 a unit is false.  

Your vending machine analogy is stupid b/c the reality is that you gota spend $2000 for a vending machine that will only pump out $1 dollar a day and will be outdated in 2 years.  That means you lose money .

and and difficulty rises with time so therefore you get rekt even more. Miners are dumb



If you generalize from Obelisk situation, then yes looks like a negative situation.

BUT if you were first batch you got a sweet t-shirt  Tongue

@ lunobird
Pretty much what metroid said.  I try and hold as much as I can and only sell when absolutely necessary.

@ Marvell2
I'll be renting soon but I wanted to get all my stuff up first  Tongue  should be about .13 cents all in per kw

@ mochaaa
Really its kinda loud in there.  The giant exaust fans louder.

@ gotminer
I don't get it either.  But most cant afford to sit on them because they wawnt to sell to pay for power.

@ lunobird
I'll be renting soon but will be 10kw min and about 95$ a kw (.13 cents or so)  FYI My breakeven is 85-87 so i'm not getting rich off it, just keeping the lights on.

@ philipma1957
Yep




FIRST OF ALL - I know many of you all have better rates than this at home and if you don't want this service move on.  Don't post crap stuff here please as most sane people know this is pretty fair deal.

OK onto the soup:

I Have received many, many PM's for hosting.  YES! I will rent space out and the rate is 95$ a KW, MINIMUM of 10kw.  That's about 13 cents.  I pay a little less than that of course in electricity, but the cost to build this facility was immense and I have to try and recoup some of that.   

A little about me and company.  I have been in crypto for 4-5 years now and love it!  I'm an IT guy before it was cool to be IT, late 80's-90's.  I have owned and operated www.minerdude.com for quite some time but recently I decided to stop selling miners, since everyone and their dog is doing it now, and start to do pure hosting.  Please pardon the website as it's a work in progress for the transition.  DON't BUY anything on it yet before speaking with me or my staff.  Number to contact us is on the site, or you can email or a PM here.  OMG what a concept right you can actually call us.

What I offer: (more to follow)

Top Notch 42,000 square foot Facility
Full monitoring (all my Power Switches are metered and switched so you will be able to VPN in and reboot yourself)
Security - I invested quite a bit to secure every inch of this area.  We are adding more weekly.  Cameras, keypads etc.
No one is allowed back there unless they go through a background check plus have a ton of machines.  If you have 20 or less - I will set them up or a supervisor will be with you at all times.
Cameras everywhere, inside and out. 
Working on 24/7 security company to office out of here.  Should have that in a month or 2



Few Rules: (more to follow)

1.) Must be more than 10kw of usage per customer
2.) 2-6 Month prepay then before the next pay month you must pay or I'll shut you off till you do (crypto is OK and preferred but Wire, Check, CC OK)  BTC, LTC, ETH, ZEC - Example you paid 2 months prepaid may, June (paid) if you don't pay June 30 for July your machines will power down at midnight until that fee is paid.
3.) I was going to put 1 year contract in place but I'll waive that after you pass your prepay period(you still need to sign a contract but it will be month to month)
4.) This is standard but no one tells you this: My insurance will not cover your stuff!  If you want it insured then you need to get renters insurance etc. I can point you in the right direction should you want to persue this, most don't. 
5.) NO WOODEN Rigs - Massive Liability and fire hazard
6.) Reboot services * if we are manually rebooting more than 2 - 3 times a week there will either be a tech fee to try and fix it or take it offline and ship it back to you for repair.
7.) NO WOODEN RIGS - did i say that again? =)

More to come!  Just tossing this out there.

I have already put 1mw of customers in here and I have 2 mw left.  It's filling up pretty quick, kind of nice =)  People from Europe especially sending equipment over because of their high rate.

Hello community!

I have been mining for years now.  Like many, this started as a hobby.  I'm an IT guy that owns a small consulting company and a HVAC company (long story) and do pretty decent for myself.
.
.
.
Mid July 2018, my 4 megawatt 43,000 square foot facility was pretty much ready.  There were many road blocks and turns to get to this point but it was all worth it.  I use about 1 megawatt for me.  I'm mainly a GPU guy but have 50-60 asics.

Looking at the pictures below really don't do justice to the enormity of this thing and the cost.  Everything is expensive at this level of electricity.


WTFMLPQRST Where's the NSFW tag for this? I opened this in the office and now I gotta walk off a boner ...
This is pure unadulterated PORN for us, something most of us have dearly wanted to be able to do someday.

Super Duper Congratamondoes dude on pulling this off, and here's wishing GPU mining stays around for a few years.
Keep us posted on all updates you do to this farm, heck I would love an audio of this facility running, I would find the collective hum of 5000 GPU's blissful.
Also good to know Eliovp is still alive and kicking Tongue

@ deadsix
hahaha Thanks for the laugh bro!  Sorry about the boner.  Tongue

@ hakumoo 
anywhere from 2 - 5 Mil.  Remember I am a mechanicals guy and i GC'd (General Contracted) this myself.  So that would drive the cost up exponentially.  If you were some suit and tie New York VC guy wanting to do this without a clue what to do, as in you cant nail a piece of wood right.  It would run you way more than that.  I was born poor, grew up poor but we never went without.  Food, clothes, house but that's it.  I learned a ton from my dad about cars and repair, to laying black tar roofs. Summer vacation after school was going as a migrant worker to hoe cotton.  I learned to be what I had to be givin the situation, that's why I could do all this stuff.  I still know when to call in the big guns though when I am over my head.  As in this giant electrical, you get one shot at that.

@ areyouathief
canarm is mfg.  they make industrial stuff  15 HP 480V motors and 6ft x 6ft base.

lol I was spot on, Im good with numbers infrastructure costs that way , nice budget to work with
sweet project.  I have access to 150killo watts myself and that ran me 50k to get it all set up

Your scale is mindblowing

Thanks buddy, yeah its a beast.  Sometimes I wake up and i'm like WTF have I done hahaha.
