Great question!
Yes, there are several other liquid cooling vendors. What makes us unique is our patent portfolio; LCS is the
only company licensed to produce liquid cooled systems in which all components are fully immersed in a completely sealed chassis. All other vendors will have at least one component outside the system, meaning LCS will always have the competitive edge on efficiency.
In the case of the link you sent, GRC's systems are not sealed, which is messy and cumbersome in our humble opinion. Also, GRC's solution is rather inflexible - you have to fill the tank with equipment. LCS's sealed chassis makes it much easier; you can buy them one by one. Plus, there's no need to drain the tank when changing out components. With ours, you just drain each individual unit, swap out your parts, refill, and get on with your life!

if you can bring cost down to just about nothing, then you would get miners interested... smaller miners that is. You might be able to get farms interested the system if it was flexible enough where it was system independent.
Yes, farms would probably be our target segment. Any recommendations for penetrating that market? Is this where the farmers hang out, or are there other more specialized forums?
