Hey all, been into GPU mining for 3 years now and made a little video showing the progress and evolution of my setup through the years. Take a look Smiley

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6EfpfLsuNk&t


This Operation is now for sale!

Located in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

This operation is being sold AS IS with the entire contents being contained and operated within a single 40 foot high cube shipping container.

Not looking to part out the operation, looking to sell as a complete unit.

I have several videos posted here detailing the setup.

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9fD-5qjgdoN24Ualr8aQWw?view_as=subscriber


Mostly AMD RX 580s and 1060s.

24x RX 470s

21x RX 480s

119x RX 570s

~475 RX 580s

38 GTX 1060s



~100 GPUs in RMA process which will be added to the operation.



Includes all infrastructure components such as PDUs, ethernet switches, PXE Servers, breaker boxes ETC

Currently configured for HIVE OS management software.
if interested, contact me here or through my youtube channel or my email christian@colossusprocessing.com

Cool to see the evolution, I also use container to allocate my rigs, unfortunately in recent years reduced from 9 to 1 rig ... I decided to sell the gpus while profitability is low.

WOW, what a dream, to build some rigs on a container outside your house  Grin

Tell us, with your electricity price, is it worthing right now to mine? Not speculating, the price right now

Damn, that is extreme, when I see all that, I see huge loads of money each of those people got from you, in the end I guess they earned more money than you, the good thing, will be easy to sell it, just call a truck to collect that container hehe

how many different nvidia and amd rigs do you have running now?
are you running a linux distro to manage your rigs?
the number of rigs and gpus are impressive though

Those rigs you had in the beginning were very similar to my GPUs rigs back in the day. Very ghetto modded and wires hanging everywhere. Honestly some of my setups were big fire hazards because for a few weeks I would have the motherboards just sitting on the motherboard boxes because I was too lazy to make some wooden or aluminum mining frames.

But as time went on my set up got more cleaner like with your chassis cases you got there. It was a sure fun adventure but its not something I would want to do again. Its not only the low mining profitability but mining just got boring for me. Was fun learning about PSUs, motherboards, ram, fixing risers, fixing GPU fans, etc but eventually we grow out of it.

Keep up the good work.

WOW, with this price you can keep mining for a long long time and even compete with chinese miners, I wish I have a electricity like that, in my country we are paying something like 0.22c USD

Nice progress dude! Its my dream to have enough place and electricity to set even 1 container. But nowadays everything i can find have choice between cheap place without electricity, cheap electricity without place, or place and electricity, that costs moon.

Thanks! Yup, I made some real OSHA heart attacks early on.

It definitely has its lulls for me as well but thats part of the reason for me doing some videos.

Hopefully they come of use to folks Smiley

Thanks for sharing this man. It's great to See progress, just like in the movies where you witness a humble beginning and achieve a lot towards the ultimate goal. It's one of my goals to build my own cryptocurrency farm to support the network and making it stronger and possibly sharing my passion towards it but electricity, from where I live, is expensive and would not be worthwhile. Keep up the great work; I hope you don't stop sharing.
