Hosting help

[pats2306]

Hi Guys

I am in the process of acquiring 2 spondoolies SP30's & 1 Antminer S2,

I cannot keep them at home as there is no place or the power. I am looking at hosting options here in the GTA and have gotten some crazy numbers

Hosting Option 1

Options A
Half Cabinet 20U - $300/Month, $99 Setup
20A/220V Circuit - $800/Month, $575 Setup
1Mbps Commit on 100Mbps burstable pipe - $25/Month
Discount on 1 Year Commit - $1010/Month, $250 Setup

Option 2
Quarter Cabinet 10U with 7.5A/110V Circuit - $495/Month, $395 Setup
1Mbps Commit on 100Mbps burstable pipe - $25/Month
Discount on 1 Year Commit - $470/Month, $150 Setup

Hosting Option 2

1/4 rack at $299.00 as committed and full charge for the electricity as stated by the devices, which would be 5,800 watts(5.8KW/H) * 24 hours/ day*30 days/ month @ $0.13/ KWH = $542.88/ month, so say $550.00

Therefore , in order to start the process, we would require $550.00 + $299.00/ month= $849.00+ taxes

I spoke to Spondoolies and all their calculations are based on 220V, but here in North America we have 110V standard.

Here is their reply:

"The SP30 pulls 3000W continuously. It requires minimum 208V power supply.

The machine is equipped with two power supply units each pulling 1500W and each requires a 15 amp circuit - 20 amps is better. They can be together on a single 30 amp circuit."

So I am stuck with 3 paper weights and no clue where to host as I am out of options in GTA, so looking at you guys for help.

If anyone has an SP30, please tell me how much power it consumes while its running 24/7 and whats the minimum amp it requires.

Really appreciate your help.

Thanks

I don't have an SP30 so I can't speak to it specifically.

watts = amps * volts
so if it pulls 3000w = 14.42 amps @ 208v , 13.64 amps @ 220

Technically if you were to have a 30amp typical 208/220/240 circuit, you would be pushing the limit to put 2 SP30 on the same circuit.  Most suggest loading a circuit to no more than 80% capacity (i.e. 24amps on a 30amp circuit).   

The s2 is simple - mine typically draw like 1000-1100 watts - just plug them in.

You might want to see if you can add some circuits at your house or office.

$299 for 1/4 rack is comparable to what I paid in a greater NYC datacenter

You really need to be looking at specialist bitcoin hosting setups. You may need to ship your units there but the overall monthly savings compared to a regular datacenter can be substantial.

http://toom.im/ is a popular one at the moment, I think they charge $99/KW of power usage as a flat fee with no extra charges.

There is also an entire thread about bitcoin hosting here with lots of options one of which may suit your needs: H/w Hosting Directory & Reputation

Like last post, you should spend some time in this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=622998.00  (H/w Hosting Directory & Reputation) Has a list of hosting operators with their prices.

I have a SP30 hosted with http://www.michigan-colocation.com/index.php/server-colocation/bitcoin-miner-hosting and they cost me a flat $350USD/Month. Incs. remote access.

I also have another SP30 with http://www.gekkoscience.com/ and they cost me:

September GekkoHosting Bill Meter 1: kilowatt-hours     1910 Price per kWh      $0.095 Total Energy Bill  $181.45 Operating Hours    686.5 Average kW draw    2.782 Price per kW       $30.00 Power Draw Bill    $83.47 Combined Total Hosting Fee     $264.92USD

October GekkoHosting Bill Meter 1: kilowatt-hours     2133 Price per kWh      $0.095 Total Energy Bill  $202.64 Operating Hours    748.5 Average kW draw    2.85 Price per kW       $30.00 Power Draw Bill    $85.49 Combined Total Hosting Fee     $288.13USD

Both providers are on 208V.
