That was a different project.
So what happened to that project anyways?
Using the excess heat from miners and direct it to a greenhouse is a nice idea. You utilize all the power you consumed and eliminate in the process. Great project, but still a bit skeptical about this. How large is the greenhouse btw and how much do you think does the greenhouse could generate?
All very good questions.
The last project went great from operations end, unfortunately as we know the power costs for those machines made it difficult to operate. It was these power costs that begun the re-strategy for long term bitcoin mining operations I'm working on now to help others in the bitcoin network and investors.
Being skeptical is normal and a healthy thing for wise investors, so that's good of course. Here're some answers to your questions: We're looking at getting land for 1 acre initially (43,560 square feet).
We expect 60-70k pounds of Tomato produce per month per acre (with walking space) or 80,000 per month per acre without.
Other information:
The region gets a minimum of 8.5 sunlight hours (in off season) and 15 when in season. we will be generating approximately 2.4 Million BTUs with 800 amps (and still have wiggle room).

https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/flow-hive-honey-on-tap-directly-from-your-beehive#/storyWe will be using 6 ml sheeting with transparency for the plants. A frame and equipment all in place. We also have a prototype we're developing to work through any potential kinks once we get out in Washington. I'll add photos later of the prototype.
Our patent pending method not only allows us to work with greenhouse/bitcoin, but utilizes a clean and easy system for air flow/heating, so we keep the machines cool continually, and during the hottest parts of the season we cool the plants as well.
Heat monitors will be placed in the greenhouse that connects to our raspberry Pi 2 computer which in turn turns the fans to recycle the heat into the greenhouse or push it all out depending on the temp. Our cooling starts at reading of 75 and heating at 70. Machines get constant air flow passing through them to keep them cool.
