Mining Memories - Photos of my first 20 T/hash Mining Farm -- Circa 2014

Thought I'd Share:

My first Mining Farm:  20 T/hash Mining Farm using (46) Bitmain Antminer S3+ Batch 7 Units.

Just found these photos on an old USB Key.

I also include below the S3+ Rigs some photos of my first Upgrade / Turnover of my S3+ Units, and replacing them with Bitmain's Antminer S5 Units.  The S5 Upgrade boosted our hashrate only by about 20% but the power draw was much lower due to the more efficient ASIC chips in the S5 units.

The farm mined primary on Slush's Pool, and it generated anywhere between BTC0.20 - BTC0.50 depending on network difficulty, which spiked an dropped very low, then recovered, in the 2 years I mined from 2014-2016.

Finding these photos was a blast from the past!





Hope you enjoy!

Cheers!

Strato.

I kept only one of my S3+ units, just to put it on the mantle as "one of the first".

While I no longer mine using ASICs, it's certainly a conversation piece.

About half my farm from around 2013-2014. The other half was in my bathroom cause it was on another breaker. I think I had around 20 THs as well and I was also on slush pool. I remember making as much as 1BTC on a good day. Good memories
