Why charge a premium for Nvidia Tesla series cards? They suck for crypto mining...

That's a pretty standard option for gpu based servers on existing cloud computing services. Is your equipment in house or outsourced?

Are you the plug or the middleman?

It has to do with scalability. Our smaller rigs run on R9 cards, and now we are upgrading to R9 295x2 GPU's.
While Nvidia might not be so performant as AMD cards, the end user has no issues on that part.

If we guarantee a 200Mh/s rig, the user will get the full 200Mh/s speed. Running on Nvidia or AMD is not an issue for the end user.

We are 'the plug'. Our equipment is in house, outsourced

We have access to a facility that allows us to build the mining farm.
Since this facility is run by relatives, we have very low to zero costs. We might have to pay a fee in the future for electricity consumption.

Cool, thanks for the info.

It's your business...but the Tesla cards are incredibly cost ineffective for the hashing performance they will produce. You guys would be much better off sticking with non-commercial grade gpus.

Good luck.
