Having a degree in electronics sure doesn't hurt, but i agree with amer; more info and elaboration on the facility/facilities you plan on running the mining rigs at (ie: security measures, power outage backup generators, contingency plans etc.) would be helpful in building more interest in this project.
I have a storage room dedicated to running a server at the moment, it is properly cooled and has a single power backup unit. Since it in in my house it has the normal security measures plus there is always someone there. In case of off-line over 5 min I get an email.
Will anyone else be aiding in running this facility on-site besides yourself when it comes to troubleshooting, managing, etc etc this endeavour?
No, not at them moment I intend in running a machine or two not a whole datacenter. I do have a brother-in-law that works in the IT area and lives nearby that could "save the moment" if needed.
