Wow that is pretty amazing. 8 million per month? :S

[lowbander80]

Here are more details on the farm, looks like it was debt financed but paid off.

Also, word that cloudhashing.com is expanding operations to make $20 million a month:

The article has some newbie assumptions in it from the writer though.

Lulllz look at the guys hash rate from that interview:

Hahahah good catch.. he's probably wondering why he hasn't mined some BTC lately.

Come on guys, that MegaBigPower's farm. those are Bitfury boards. each card is is 25+ Gh/s.

The 8 million a month mentioned in this video for 1 petahash seems a bit of an exaggeration.  Perhaps it was from last November.

At present 1 petahash would make less than 3 million dollars per month.

One petahash is about 3% of the total mining network's 32 petahash as at mid March. 

The total mining network at present makes about $100 million dollars per month of Bitcoin.  Any change from about $100 million per month is dependent on the value of Bitcoins changing.

Cheers.

Actually, saying that any amount per month is made can't be correct. Unless you constantly add new hardware, every month you will make less than you did the month before because of other people bring new hardware on line.

wouldn't it be funny if this was the cex.io farm

You know, this guys almost certainly has to sell an ever increasing amount of the Bitcoins
he mines each month. He obviously has a huge power bill, and I'll just bet the electric
company wants dollars, NOT Bitcoins. Besides mining fewer Bitcoins each month due to
the increasing difficulty, his mining operation depreciates at a furious rate compared
to almost any other "industrial" operations since his mining hardware becomes less and
less valuable each month. While the scale is impressive, the economics aren't really any
different for him compared to a guys with a single Antminer. He just has more to lose.

Really impressive, 8 millions a month! That sounds something pretty hard to understand. Now they are not making that much anymore as BTC price dropped alot. But now I thought, companies that has Its own ways to make their own electricity like with wind electricity or water electricity , It's so good to mine for them as It's free electricity

Old news.  Few months ago.  With difficulty and current btc price.

Now he only makes about 1 million a month.

Still, its a lot...

If you calculated the amount of money to buy those bitfury chips and boards needed to push 1PH it is not a good return on investment capital.

I believe they are happy with the their ROI.

Surely had made calculations for 20% increase every time before they made the project.
Everything less than 20% makes them even happier.

They will definetely have huge profits.

Without a doubt. They started early and chose the best chips possible at that time.

I see independent farms struggling in the future though.  As difficulty rises it will be too expensive to run them.

wow what a mining farm lol
