My hosting facility finally completed their expansion and got my new miners up and running. Raised my hashrate from 165TH/s to up to 270TH/s.  

Hopefully they can find room for the other 4 I have on order, or I'll have to replace my E9's and move em back into the garage.

Nice, no complaints!

Sounds like a good 1-2 years off minimum.   MINE ON WITH KANO-SAN!

You guys can always PM Kano.  He can unlock your account for you if he's awake.  What's with the rash of account lockouts lately?

Due to the fact that on occasion, recently, people have pointed a sizeable collection of computers at the web server trying to login hundreds of times a minute, and done that for a number of days, I changed a setting to ban you faster if you make a mistake repeatedly.
Thus it picks up normal users making mistakes, a little more often than before, but also picks up these annoyances with their baby-botnets very quickly.

That would account for the higher rate of lockouts! I'd better be careful logging in!

My first login attempt will always fail, no matter how slow and careful I type my password. The second attempt will always login. I've tried this numerous times with the same results and just live with it.

This only happens on mobile, btw. First attempt works every time from PC. 

Sounds like you may want to try one of the mobile apps

TIME TO SLOWLY UNWRAP THIS BLOCK, CARESS IT, AND ON TO THE NEXT ONE!


MINE ON WITH KANO-SAN!

Haven't really looked at hosting facilities until now being that I am pretty much out of power. Besides the obvious pros to having them at the facility, how much or less is this costing you than expanding at your current house or mining location?

I'll believe it when they prove it. A picture of a PCB with some components and chips doesn't show they actually work.

Well considering that even Intel, nVidia and AMD don't have 7nm chips coming out soon, I gotta go with what I said about GMO months back, no chance.
Someone decided to write a marketing blurb in the standard tradition of most large companies - full of bull shit

The new Xeon chips that just came out a few months ago (in my pool dev server at home) are 14nm

If it could be done it would be done. We are getting there but not there yet. The deeper the pockets the faster the results. Big boys will have the tech first, no doubt. No way some company living under a rock is going to beat them to the punch.

Hosting is really the only way to go, if you can find the right place with room. I'm a little north of Seattle and our power is about .10/kwh, commercial is a little cheaper at .09/kwh. My hosting runs at about .08/kwh, so it saves me a little. Also I don't have to deal with noise and cooling either. I've got a little over 20 miners hosted and keep a few here at the house. A couple r4's to warm the office and den. And s9 in the garage until they come up with more space at the hosting place.

I could run more at home, if I got an electrician to come out and put in a few more breakers and some outlets out in the garage. Don't really want that much noise though plus the cooling come summer.

Argh - new batch of 821's immediately out of stock when I tried to pay for 'em

[brad2388]

When will the s9s be unprofitabily?

[Aurel577]

When will the s9s be unprofitabily?

it all depends on your electric cost and where the price of BTC is at.

[fjtropepe]

When will the s9s be unprofitabily?

They have been prophesying they will be unprofitable for the last two years. Too many factors go into the equation for an accurate answer. Power costs and bitcoin price being two of the largest factors.

Amen to that, peace of mind not having to hear the miners.  Go check up on them once a quarter or so, otherwise, LET 'EM MINE!!!

MINE ON WITH KANO-SAN!

[brad2388]

I have .09kwh here in nc.

I have alot of room for more but would like to get thr roi on what i have currently.

I can host some though.

Finally, the replacement miner for poor, departed R4B4 has arrived in the ice mines at Hoth.  Took so long after multiple delays I hate to even think about it, but at least I've increased my hashrate by 50% so that's a plus. 
Mine on!

There's always a silver lining! Good job!

I have 3 S7s that are in varying stages of swan songs that I'm trying to replace.  My hosting site is full so I can only replace; can't add new until they have expanded their capacity.  One of these S7s will be replaced in early February and I can't wait.  I can't seem to buy anything anymore so I don't know if I'll ever be able to replace the other 2.

IPhone?   Yeah, they like capitalizing the first character even when you  implicitly say not to...  I had that issue before and it drove me up the wall.

What are they charging these days for hosting a S9?  and does that include the cost of power?

I have a location that I can use for hosting, but with a max of 200 amp 240 Volt service.  I might be able to get higher service, then it starts to get into commercial rates for electricity.  Looks to work out to 22 S9's can be run there.  I would be able to have a fibre connection to the location as well.  150 Mbit symetrical.
