Largest Bitcoin Mine In The UK

[Group Bitcoin]

Relatively unknown one of the first businesses to offer cloud mining and colocation in 2013. Rented space in a server room at first, when we outgrew that here's our second facility the mine we built.

Small contained cold aisle, raised access floor, 42u cabinets, cat 6 cabling, custom 32 amp pdu's, up to 96 amps supplied per cabinet at 230v across three phases.

Where are the mining rigs?

Where are the mining rigs?

In the server cabinets. As you can see there's some on the left for our cloud mining service.

The rest is for Colocation - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=622842.msg6901373#msg6901373

Hi guys,

I visited your site to check out your rates, but I'm sure I'm missing something. I pay 15.6 pence per kilowatt (less at night with economy 7) - about 2.5 pence less than your rate, and I also have a standing charge of 14 pence per day = £4.20 per month. Even with the cost of my internet, VAT, etc on top of that each month it is considerably cheaper for me to host my gear at home than it is if I used your service - and that's based on using a single 1U rack which is no where near enough room to cram my gear in.

What am I missing here?

Thanks

Hello there, you can't realistically run multiple large ASIC miners like KNC's or Terraminers at home it's difficult, I had one running in my back room last year, turned it into a fan oven. That's what Colocation is for, 18p per Kwh is the average price for electricity in the UK.

Most data centers here only allow a maximum of 32amps per 42u cabinet which is also to do with heat servers/miners don't emit much light or sound almost all the electricity you put in comes out as heat. We originally looked at using data centers for our cloud mining service but it was expensive and limited to 32 amps per cabinet so we made our own place and now also offer Colocation.

A Terraminer uses around 9amps at 230v, 10 in a 42u cabinet is over 90amps.

We're also working on a bulk electricity deal with British Gas which will bring the price down but the rack space charge will be a bit more so it's all relative.

Nice photoshopping 

Anyway, so we should send our gear to you so you host it? Or we rent or is it private or what? Not really clear instructions I think...

We offer Colocation and Cloud Mining.

Colocation means you can run your hardware in our mine with remote access. Some more details https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=622842.msg6901373#msg6901373

Cloud Mining means you can buy hashing power in our own hardware with monthly payouts that's run indefinitely until it can't pay for it's running costs.

Is this photoshop or photo-wallpaper? I'd like to see pictures of the server cabinets too

It's a wallpaper mural. A picture of the entrance to a coal mine. Seemed relevant to mining and looks cool.

The server cabinets are facing each other either side of this picture, this is the cold aisle.

Photoshop... ?

I'm curious, what profit does it bring to its owners?

happy mining everyone.

Can't see clearly what is it, can you take a closer picture..

The clue is in the title.

[ChuckBuck]

I don't get it either.

Should've taken better pictures of the cabinets, so we can see what's behind the doors more clearly.

It's a shame you don't get it. The pictures and topic title are rather self explanatory. Let me explain more so you can understand what you are looking at. This is our second premises we do Cloud mining and Colocation, there's some miners on the left for the Cloud mining service (Terraminers and Ant Miners) the rest is for Colocation space.

In terms of rack space this is the largest specifically made mining facility in the UK.

I hope this helps.

Justin,

Justin,

The explanation helps, but the pictures don't do you or your service any justice.

Maybe higher resolution pics or better camera, perhaps?

The pictures were taken on a mobile phone, We are taking professional photo's for our site where we promote our service.

[ChuckBuck]

Fair enough, good luck with your endeavors.

Please post a website with the professional photos here, interested in seeing the finished project.

Its pretty obvious the picture is some Dell server cabinets leading to a mine shaft.

Good luck with your launch, especially the colocation service. You forgot to mention noise is also a huge negative factor for home miners, just ask a Spondoolies Tech SP10 customer!!

Thanks for that, yeah all the big miners are all really noisy. The SP10's are great though, made Cointerra look silly.

[thirdprize]

happy mining everyone.

I expect to see some Cybermen or possibly a Dalek coming out of there ...
