I have a Datacenter with plenty of space available. I would like to know if it will worth to do mining.
The datacenter has precision cooling which will increase the cost, so it should use around 70% more power.
You wrote it like you have some additional space in your data center, so the cooling is working anyway, right? A few miners wouldn't increase the power consumption that much, so I doubt it would be a 70% increase. It depends on how much space you have, and the efficiency of your cooling, but for instance adding 2 powerful miners to a 100m2 room will barely make a difference in your cooler's power consumption.
If you're willing to try it, you could always buy 1 miner and do a monthly test run to check if you like it and how your cooling is performing.
I'd recommend not mining BTC right now but focusing on LTC or other altcoins.
Hey, thanks for the input.
Yes, the cooling is working. I have two Emerson 30TR in the room, they are very efficient and I also have hot/cold aisle confinement. My current power costs are $0.15/kWh. Do you think it still worth importing miners and putting in my own datacenter? What I am thinking is, if colo providers from the US are selling below $0.15/kWh why would I use my own datacenter? Not sure if my calculations are correct, or if I will have other costs with these colo providers?
Yes, I was looking at the LTC miners, specifically the Altminer L3+ although it seems to be out of stock, do you have any other to recommend that is running well? Also, how easy is to install these miners? Should I have any software or I just point my wallet, connect them to the internet and thats it?
Thank you!
