It's a bit strange considering they could have hosted the hardware at Verne Global for half the cost of electricity in Thailand
...

Untrue. On a sidenote, I've seen your question about the evaps after RockMiner released picture of AMHash.
Most of the Chinese farms started to use similar evaps after Gordon Ao (Innosilicon CEO) visited Cowboyminer facility early this year.

Yea, what threw me off was that AM's evap coolers are indoors, never seen that before.

$0.06-0.07/kwh makes it a plausible location for a mine but it's still far from optimal (although much better than the ~$0.11/kwh several sites led me to believe).

I don't think there's any conspiracy. It really is quite sad to see so much hardware go to waste. I hope they can get back on their feet eventually.

Well doh

my SP30 got upgraded to 2.5.7 which seems incompatible with the orginal sp30 units

seems to have bricked the unit it will not connect to any pools.  I tried rolling back the firmware buy using the dropdown to do the manual seclection

but nothing shows in the dropdown.

what next ?

[BohemianStalker]

Running such a farm in Thailand - to me it makes no sense. I have seen farms in Siberia - guy just opens a window, - 30 air going everywhere. I think that is atad of difference +30 or -30.

Propably money loundering, yeah. Nobody can actually prove how much bitcoin you have mined, since nobody in goverment fucking knows what is hashrate or even bitcoin to begin with. So yeah, you can legitimate any almost any profits with such a farm.

Agree.

You can tell your support is too good when people assume they will get it by asking rhetorical questions in public forums.

To remind you all our official channel for SW support is my Skype (zvi_shteingart) at Israel working hours (10:00 - 18:00) with window for US clients between 20:00 and 21:00.

are these sp10's? man what a mess!

ouch! ouch! ouch!

I don't suppose any of those could be 'salvaged'          heh can see ebay already..cheap sp10's!

Sigh. I expected more from you. Go few pages back before posting.

They're SP30s and I'd think most will be salvagable after repair. Some of the cable inlets on the PSUs might need replacing and I'd think that the soot may need cleaning off internally. Other than that, should be good to go in a new location. Probably not.

[P4man]

All electrical cables in those pics seem to have melted. At the very least you'd have to assume that also applies to the inside, and includes PSU, all plastic connectors,..
You might be able to recover some boards, but IMO its not gonna be cheap or easy.

They're salvaging some of them. The biggest problem are the PSUs and the problematic lead time on those.

Correct.

oops...seems i missed some posts

sp30's  I guess

[mavericklm]

why the fuck would you make a DC in bangkok! where is 28 degrees Centigrade at 9AM, right now!!! WHY!!!
...

Miners don't particularly mind hot ambient, and because you're not running AC neither do you particularly. Instead of replacing the air with an infinite amount of 20C air, you're replacing it with an infinite amount of 30C air.

I'll drive constantly at 200miles/hour just because my car can do that! I dont give a fuck about road conditions or tires...

better 10cents/kw in a 0C temperature climate than in that location with +30C temperature and 6cents/kw!

Sad to see this fire damage.
Cowboyminer had a goooooood setup there
pitty that investment gone...

If you have ever been to Thailand and seen the electrical wiring system there, you would shake your head. 2 wire system with no earthing is very common. You look at the power lines on the posts, and you cannot count the number of cables that are strung there (often tv, telephone transmission cables) but there are cases where electrical lines have been low enough that passers by have been zapped in close proximity. Also, MANY people have been zapped merely walking on sidewalks for improperly earthed street lamps beside them. And many kids have been killed by electrocution in pools, school yards etc. Terribly poor electrical work done there very frequently.

Stayed Thailand many times, even lived there.

Not understand a mining center in Bangkok in a shelf.

Mining center in Siberia, OK but hot Thailand?

[Guy Corem]

The SP30s in the facility ran for over 2 months without an issue.

The builder stated the following:

Temp was super good. Sp30 did not even get hot.
Just something from the outside.
No insurance at all.

Below is picture of the buildup before the fire.

residentially thats not surprising, but for a compound drawing 5MW it requires significant infrastructure in place that is likely free of these flaws, at least for the most part.

and it wouldnt be difficult to install a sufficient grounding system on-site if the power delivery poles did not include a grounding. Drive a few heavy stakes deep into the ground at strategic locations, and wire them all as the grounding system. fairly common
