1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Setting up warehouse space for mining on: October 14, 2017, 11:51:58 AM
Hello everyone,

I am a total crypto-newbie, but I own some warehouse space with cheap electricity and have had interest from people who want to set-up their mining hardware there. I have an electricity line capable of 1500 kWatt and I have security, noise, and cooling issues covered as well. My questions are regarding internet access since that is something I will have to set-up. I have a couple of questions regarding the specs for the internet connection as well as the hardware needed. I expect to get about 20 clients in the first month or two, but this could potentially grow to around a 100 depending on how quickly the miners in my city outgrow their homes.

1.) Most importantly, what internet connection speed do I need? Would 200Mbit/s be enough to start with? At a very high level, how much bandwidth is needed for an average mining rig? Important note: my city is mostly Ethereum and alt-coin miners since Bitcoin ASICs are extremely expensive and hard to come by, hence mining rigs are GPU based.

2.) What special networking hardware is needed? A typical router only has 4 ethernet ports, would setting up extra ethernet switches that connect to that same router do the job or would I need to get industrial 20-40 port routers?

3.) The miners I've talked to don't know anything about remote access since they currently mine at home, but I'd like to give my clients the most control and best service I can, and for security reasons I want to restrict access to the space as much as possible (only for moving in, moving out, or upgrading). I've seen Team Viewer mentioned here as a good solution that is also free, and I've played around with Parsec as well. Is there a better solution that I'm missing? Should I just tell everyone to setup Team Viewer accounts? Does that software require extra network features like Static IP?

That's it for now from me. IF you guys have any questions for me, feel free to shoot. I can't wait to post pictures of the setup, share more details, and help other guys out who want to make something similar. My hope is to get something going within a month, and in the mean time I can learn more about cryptocurrencies and reinvest the income to set-up miners of my own!
