Hey miner29
There is also option number 3, its legit. But I understand your skepticism, within this space it is healthy to question everything you hear / read.
The first and perhaps most important question: Why should I give away 400k to someone else? It's easy, I can not raise that kind of funds without getting a loan. And I refuse to put myself in debt to mine crypto. That has been my principle since i started. It would be easier to have someone rent the hashing power instead. And keep me out of debt. It is simple as that.
And i am not worried that im beeing scamed either. First of all, i contated them through an official chanel. This is not a company that you never heard of, its a big one, you know who they are if you hear the name. Its known to ever single miner. No doubt.
The reason im not so open about who they are is that they made me signed an NDA for this. I will hovever have access to a test unit soon.
The only thing i can say it is that its not gpus, its ASIC.
The power cost, yes, that is tricky. The mine that i have now is quite small (compared to this). And we live in a place where we have limited access to power. If this goes through we need to up our fuses - by alot. Or we have to move the operation to another region with more access to power. This is why i dont now the exact price. Also, the prices are out of contol in general. One month ago we paid, $11 cent per kilowatt hour. This month it was $8.9 cent. This is just the price for power, no transfer fees, vat or fixed fees are included. This price is more than twice the normal level for power in our region.
As you can see, its not easy to give a fixed price when the power live its own life
. So i included this just to give you an idea. The power draw is expected to be between 160 000-180 000w. I will know more when i have a test unit in my posession.
The rental issue, why do you think it would be impossible to rent out a protion of the hasing power to someone else? You said: "And you want to rent out some of the hash manually…..yeah that shows clearly how over your head you are in this." Do you mind explaining how that would be impossible?
I will not do any business over the internet. When the time comes i will invite interested people to visit me and we can discuss in detail with an accual mining unit at hand.
I do think its great to be skeptical, i did not expect anything else. Hopefully i can find pepole that are interesting and setup a meeting with when the time comes.
