I would love to and that is the con of the solar array is big for private array 2 acres plus the home's roof and the barn's roof. with all that room we don't have as much power as we want.

I was talking with two investors about a 40 acre farm and the single most killing factor is the New York State laws against bitcoin. We are in New Jersey and we fear NJ may pass the same laws that would basically make hosting btc or alt coins a crime if done large scale (a 40 acre solar array would be large scale).
40 acre farm would be 2.6 mega watts peak which is 400kwatts to 500kwatts 24/7/365 days or 4000 to 5000th say 4 ph.

That = $$$ one $ for the gear and $$ for the array. At wholesale the 40 acre array is 1.3 to 1.5 million and the s-9s are 200k psu's

and a building ,wires net etc we are pushing 2 million. Then the NJ state say no and poof to a lot of money.

This scale op does not get the rebates that the smaller array gets. So the bigger money guys are dragging feet.

But If you are smaller and have the right setup it is viable. Varies state to state

This screams hosting business to me rather than mining business. Just on the back of a napkin I see $2,914 p/day mining @ $660 p/BTC vs $26,666 p/day hosting @ $80 p/s9. If my fuzzy math hasn't failed me, then a 2 million $ investment in a 40 acre site hosting 333 S9's (4000 TH / 12 TH = 333 S9's) would ROI in 75 days...that ain't bad at all. And if that math is right (which I am about to pivot to Excel), I may be out looking for 40 acre parcels and investors in FL tomorrow.

I AGREE! Hosting + Mining is even MORE profitable! The problem is someone there with experience to manage the place. The place being Washington State. I am seriously thinking about buying a warehouse and setting up shop. I have the ability of relocating for a while to get a place setup.

Needs to be Eastern Washington though, in the Columbia River area. I live a little north of Seattle, in Everett, and we pay 9.8 cents per kwh to the PUD (8.9 cents per kwh for businesses). Which is about is just barely profitable for an s7, since the halving anyway.
I would host with Toomim, but being a WA resident, I would have to pay sales tax. Which defeats most of the savings I would gain. And nothing against Eastern Washington, but I wouldn't want to live there. Way too hot in the summer for my taste. I thought about Oregon Mines, but after paying for shipping, it doesn't save me that much.
