I can assure all of you that the letter was very real.

The farm will be getting ran into the ground. Will post results when

A) Electricity gets shut off

B) Get raided for 2nd time.

shout out to all the haters and nay-sayers. You are what makes this community great.

And what exactly would they Raid? Washington has legal marijuana, I still think they are confusing you for a grow operation, raiding miners doesn't make much sense.

I have researched this further but have not finalized my research yet. Apparently all high density load customers now need to fill out an application to be approved for the new high density load rates. Stay tuned. These policies goes into effect Jan 1st 2017. These policies are very political and crooked imo.

Dedicated Asic Services company is a company located in this county. They are the pros in the video above. Still have not finished the video. Although I have a suspicion I'm going to hear a lot of bs.

should out to the haters sippin that haterade

The 'applying for higher load' bit does not surprise me. In a way it matches with what you said about them updating the power lines in your area and this is their way to get info on what wire, transformer, and fusing sizes to put in.

My local power company likes to send out usage emails every week and typically I am a constant 3x higher usage than the 'Average' user in my area (and 4x higher than the lowest reported).

Like Savior, I have 200A service, miner load is 3.5kW so yes, using a lot but well under the service maximum. Aside from the friendly usage notes, never heard a word from the power co about usage.

All I can say is that if for some reason you *do* get raided make sure all your ducks are in a row so ya can laugh at them...
eg, if legally growing, follow all rules: (# of plants), location (near a school?), Notice signage (State rules regarding growing), etc. If a legal user, have your MM card and/or be sure to be under max weight of weed in the house.

the good news is I have never heard of a raid in wa unless it was some type of parole or assault situation with a person hiding in said property. I hate to sound stereotypical but I'm pretty sure they have the crazo's nailded down in their jail and system vs just jailing people over a sniff and political push of some sort.

Ill be fine. Thanks everybody for your continued concern. The video was good btw and everyone seemed concerned. If anything does happen to me its ok because I'm looking to do a solar setup like philipma1957 soon. to be 100% off the grid Even when you pay practically nothing for electricity. When you run the numbers it sure does look appealing. And the fact you are 100% off the grid makes it even more appealing.

I was actually thinking of the solar setup a lot during the video. Give it a few more years and solar will be the best way to go. Assuming our gov gets its act together somewhat. I think I was paying for a panel in like 6 months with a machine. so I take a slight loss on the first batch and sell off the units. but pay for the panels. 2nd batch is 100% roi. from then on just keep adding panels and repeat.

that said its always going to be difficult to roi in any industry like this. which is why I like to keep it as a hobby. it would be a shame if I went down in the history books for a measly 10 machines
