Lol If i had any Cash. Even if I had $10,000 I wouldnt buy BTc or Hardware. I would build a building big enough to host a few TH/s or maybe a PH/s but small enough to be easier maintain at the lower level
It's my goal. make a building say. 20-30feet by 30 feet by 30 feet. And filll it ALL up with BITCOIN hardware, Having probably 2 Networks so say 50-150 Miners with 2-3 Networks to minimize Crosstalk and noise... Also to reducde Collision domains. The more miners u have on one network the more collisions Domains you have... Thus increasing HWE and Dropped worked. and increase probability
more Networks for ur miners say 1 network for every 50 miners = Less Noise/Crosstalk, Less collision Domains.
But in total. Itll be enough to make some real money. Probably have 2 1200-3000CFM Fans going fill tilt 24/7 possibly Air Con controlled.
theres 25million Bitcoin in the world to be mined. and we in total to this day have only mined about 3600-3800 so we got MUCH MUCH TIme untill the market plummets.
Mine as well work my way up there so when the time comes...... The profit rolls in.
Lol Ill probably run a huge server room with Antminer S3s S2s and possibly some Dragon Miners, I'm all for the standalone miners.
Oh the Future and our dreams... if only it was realness/.
Actually, if BTC price goes high enough; like $900.00 per BTC. I may end up getting my power company to put a 240V/400 AMP service meter on the side of my house. That's in addition to the 240V/200AMP service meter I already have. My entire recreation room would be used as a warehouse with no costs for lease/rent each month. I would have two (2) 14 inch exhaust fans in each of my windows in the recreation room to suck out the heat. My recreation room is 13' x 25' with 8' ceilings. We never spend time in the recreation room anyway. We spend most of our time in the family room upstairs on the main level. I have a split foreure (spelling) house.
The 400 AMP service meter would provide another thirteen (13) 240V/30AMP - 7,200 WATT circuits; enough to power a total of 65 S4's with PDU's to go along with the 25 S4's I would have running on the 200 AMP service meter. Ninety (90) S4's at 2 Th/s each would be 180 Th/s. Not bad for a HOME farm without the additional costs for leasing/renting a warehouse/building somewhere. Also, I would want it at the house to avoid worries about a potential burglar or arsonist. I already have video/audio surveillance set up at the house connected to the internet with a static IP. So, I can watch and listen in if I happen to be away from the house for a while or on vacation.
IF BTC got as much as $2,500.00 each, THEN I would get a warehouse somewhere with approximately 4 employees and have as much as .4 to .75 Ph/s. Hell, I might consider building a 30' x 30' shop in the back yard to put all of that in if BTC got up to $2,500.00 each. If BTC went to crap afterwards, I would convert it into a wood working shop for my hobby of building furniture and painting portraits of people. I'm actually a pretty damn good artist.
Yes, dreaming is fun at times. It would be even more fun if it came to pass. Nothing wrong with dreaming.
By the way, if you have damn good switches you don't have to worry about collisions/crosstalk. My TP-Link switch is a damn good switch! I would have 2 of those with all ports filled to the max if I had the 90 S4's in my house as I had mentioned previously.
Well I agree with you. and thats pretty decent. have 1.6TH/s all scattered through 3 different towns in 3 different palces. i need them all in one area.. so its easier to manage.
And no matter aht ur switch is ull have collision domains. Because if u have 10 miners on 1 switch and there ALL sending data at the EXACT same time to and frome.. That = Collision. The only way u can minimize is to to run a switch that can operate at Half Duplex. with say 10baseT
Run that to a mainswitch or router running 100baseT. Or for better performance. Run fibre from a switch to ur router to reduce collisions.
But every deivce that is connected to a switch is a collision domain the reason for this is because Switches usually operate at Fullduplex sending and recieving data at the same time. Thus.. if 50 devices are connected to one switch and all 50 devices are sending and recieving data at the same time... You will than encounter collisions and issues with FRAMES being sent.
Thus reducing profit... Though for the average user this is something they wouldnt notice to much. But for a System Admin like myself. I would notice these things... and I would fix it
The best bet in my opinion.... Is to buy a cisco switch but make certain to always disable the ports that are NOT BEING USED. It took me ahwile to learn collision domains and switches and how they actually work.
Just because you pay tons of money for ur switch doesnt mean ull get the best data speed. Because now you gotta think.. okay. what speeds should I use.
What cabling would I use to connect my miners to my switch... What cabling would i use to connect my switch to my router.. And than you have to take into the account that every device connected to a switch is a collision domain.
When the Collision happens the Frames sit and wait at Layer 4(Transport LAyer) untill the SYN-ACK is cleared by ur switch and its ready to lease the data to the switch.
This may make no sense or you may think im wrong. But i can 100% assure you that I am not wrong. Proper Cabling and configuration can reduce many problems.
But wow man. I bought like 8 Antminer S1s a few months ago. paid for half. got the rest for free because I lost contact with the seller.
Been working with 1.6TH/s best I can. trying to get another S3 but I;ve been limited for funds with bills and school and all that.
But in the end.
After seeing everyone server setup and cabling or these rigs.. Shit mine is going to destroy the hell out of theirs.. Super Neat, compact, but good enough to provide the proper results for my Hash speed
lol wow im a nerd.
My 2 Favourite hobbies are Remote Controls and Bitcoin Mining... Computer (IT) Doesnt count
