Greetings, I currently I run a small farm of 70Th, I was thinking about an idea of a consortium, or group, or club with members, that Combine their equipment in one managed facility, the electric bill is paid without markup by the members, the members all pay a monthly mandatory donation to the club of 20% of what their miners made that month or flat membership dues. This btc or dues goe into an operating budget for the club. The club has a board that makes decisions. Cost of the club are covered by the members.. I have lots of idea's, but lets hear yours, and yes I would be willing to build and or manage the facility, and yes I already have a facility I own and operate but with this club Idea i'm thinking a new facility, I can build it no problem as Ive built 3 datacenters before. Each members would be an owner who could sell their share to someone else later if they choose, and we have max membership of 100 members. Who own minimum hashing power of 10TH

Lets have an open discussion with lots of input from miners and what everyone thinks of this idea?

Some specs, in chicago .06 cents per kwh, warehouse rent at about $6-8 sq ft. power would be at least 800 amp 480v 3/phase $.06 per kwh, and maybe less on volume. Off the top of my head without doin the math, I'd aim for about 500Th - 5 Ph facility.

What would you be willing to do, or specs you's like to see.

ok, go..

I like the price but I think you need to refine the buisness plan. There is a HUGE difference your range "500Th - 5 Ph facility.". The electricity requirements just are not close, or same on gear.

You need to start lower and work up. I dont see jumping into a 5 PH facility you have lots of cooling to ad and many other things. I would start on low end and see how it goes and upgrade higher if you max capacity.

I would have to agree that the main missed point here is the cooling situation. 500 TH/s is a lot to cool, and 5 PH/s needs pretty much a dedicated facility built from scratch to maintain that.

Also, you are quite a new member, and no offense, but in the past new members who come right out and say send me miner gear/money usually don't end up doing to well.
