Economy / Service Discussion / MiningSky - Mining Farm in Canada

on: May 06, 2018, 03:46:40 AM

Hi Everyone, I came across a company called MiningSky when doing my own research. Their farm is based in western provinces of Canada and the U.S. I was looking at their website and they seem to have large capacity and have deployment solutions to help me get started right away. I was wondering if anyone else had heard of them before and any other similar service providers based in Canada? Preferably in B.C? Their miner hosting page: https://miningsky.com/miner-hosting/ Thanks!

That rig should draw about 1000W from the wall. really? The rig has 8 gpus. I assumed the power consumption is for all 8 gpus? And looking to your specs that you wrote here, i can tell you are a hardware noob. Before start, you`ll need to read about how to mod your cards. Youll need another bios on those 580. My advice is, dont start with all 8. Install everything(windows), MOD all cards separately, and then filll your case to run! Go slow! Thanks for the advice! I do feel kind of lost right now!

still it doesn't clearly identify the reasons on why one mining rig can't be done in a home.

comfortably? - either a small room, one rig with 8 GPU is not that big, unless you are using a server type PSU and have a hell lot of noise

My friend and I purchased 12 miners and we ended up not having enough space to run them at home.

12 cards, can be made one or two rigs, seem like no need too much space. You can build vertical open-air rig case for reducing the dimension. How about electricity issue? Like I said above, you can start to run half of your total card if your electric power isn't enough to run all of your cards.

As your reference:

BITMINE RIG-V6

Thank you! I will try that out!

Thanks everyone for the help.

Quote from: Crypto-Geek on April 12, 2018, 03:20:09 AM There are many hidden costs to keeping the miners inactive. https://miningsky.com/2018/03/24/miner-hosting/ Miningsky's article mentions sunk costs and maintenance cost for inactive miners. Hosting services should be a major concern for individuals such as you and your friend as the cost of hosting varies depending on where the hosting location is. Crypto-Geek, I just realized I purchased the miners from Miningsky but on Ebay. And it turned out they also offer colocation and hosting services, but I think my quantity is too small. Most of what they are advertising is for much bigger operations... https://miningsky.com/miner-hosting/

Sorry, my bad I forgot to post the specs of the miners I purchased. They are below: Power: 1600 W (110 V and 220 V Compatible, 220 V Recommended) System Power 1200W - 1400W MH/S: 240 (8X30) CPU - Intel Celeron CPU G1840/G3320 Power Consumption: 1600W Memory: 4G DDR3 SODIMN Energy Cost: $0.05/KWH HDD: 64G SSD ETA Full-Operational: 30 - 45 Days Network Card: Ethernet Card USB: 2 X USB3.0 Video Card: 8 X RX580 4G Display Output: HDMI Fans: 4X12038 4PIN High Dedicated Fans for Servers What I'm facing right now is that my friend's and my homes cannot run these miners comfortably. I was told colocation or miner hosting is a great option but I never looked into it... would help to see what everyone thinks. Is it really expensive like GoneRouge2018 said?

A friend and I recently got talked into purchasing a few GPU miners for ethereum.. only to realize afterwards that our setup at home wasn't enough to run the miners (not enough space and lacking power). So we ended up holding on to our miners without running them. We've heard different things from different people regarding what to do with our miners at this point. Some say to find 3rd party hosting or colocation, some say to keep the miners boxed until we are able to resell them. So now my friend and I are honestly very confused and don't know what to do! Should we try to resell the miners without using them or host them somewhere? Is it even safe? Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance!
