I personally don't think there's enough info in the OP to tell us a real number.
What needs to be done exactly?

- will you be asked to help giving purchase advice? Calculate ROI, look for PSU's, shelves, cooling,... Or is is just installing gear that has been bought by your customer?
- will you be asked to calculate the mining room's wiring, breakers,...
- will you only be giving advice, or will you physically help to setup shelves, install A/C,...

I'd personally see what would be asked of me, try to calculate the amount of time i'd spend on the project, and multiply it with a reasonable rate (about $30-$35/hour in my country for such a specific job). Like it has been said before: maybe you'll work for a lot less (depending on your country, and the fact if this is a continuous or a one-time job).

For example:
- finding out which miners to buy, factoring in the electricity rate, custom fees, shipping and handling, PSU's, looking for second hand miners,... About 2-3 hours???
- looking at the cabling, breakers, calculating the btu's for correct A/C... About 2-3 hours???
- setting up the room: impossible to say (does the room need to be cleared, does it need A/C, is the wiring OK, how about security,...)
- ...

- Will be giving full counselling to buying and shipping from china. (client owns a shipping company so hes offering me to buy with him at no cost of shipping for my extra equipment im getting)
- Will be giving full counselling on how to use bitcoin wallet and trade.
- Will be configuring over 10 machines to work on a pool and set his account to deposit the bitcoins to his wallet.
- Will be setting up the machines in the local network with a switch and router.

How much should maintenance be, since I would probably be asked to when problems occur?

Hi,

I'm curious to know how much would someone charge to set up a mining operation, say, 10 miners? Configuration and wallet, information etc.

Thank you.

With a little bit of self-study, research and reading, you can do this yourself. If you have someone else do it for you, you won't learn anything and will have to rely on others to fix issues as they arise. Believe me, issues will arise.

It will pay off in the long-run to know what you are doing.

Just my $.02.

I agree.

This ain't for me though, I run my own mining op, its just someone interested in me doing the whole hassle, but I'm unsure how to charge for this. The person is uninterested and just wants to have a mining op up and running.
