when i took my ant miners in to show them
they freaked out a bit lol
but as most of us has S1 / KNC type miners its not a issue
i did say that if some one want us to host there ant miners then we can charge them for shelf space
but on the hole they think its a good idea
just need to make sure that i have all the information in the right place
I've PM'ed you. But the gist of what I have said in PM for everyone else is this:
I'd build a separate network for the miners, completely firewalled off from any other networks.
I'd also offer two access services, a firewalled NAT service with a DNAT acess to the miners or SSL VPN access, probably for smaller setups
Then a full access service for those who want to provide their own network, e.g. switches and firewall setup.
How I suggest you break it down is:
Space Cost:
Charge by the rack space used:
- 1 4U Shelf
- 1/4 Rack
- 1/2 Rack
- Full Rack
Power Cost:Charge by the 1 Amp but give some ideas to help with the AMP->WATT conversion as most miners work in Watts
e.g.:
- 1 AMPS (240W) e.g. 1 x 180GH Bitfury rig
- 1.6 AMPS (400W) e.g. 1 x ANTMINER S1
- 3 AMPS (700W) e.g. 1 x KnC Jupiter
- 4 AMPS (950W) e.g. 1 x 1TH ANTMINER S2 / 1TH A1 Dragonminer
- 6 AMPS (1440W) etc
Data:Miners dont need much data, so probably just a couple of TB a month, maybe 5-10Mb/s would cover any eventuality up to a full rack, but I doubt even that. From what I have seen 3.5 TH of miners only pulls about 3GB a month.
Also, people may also want physical access especially if they get a full rack or multiple racks.
