Re: Cheapest Electric Rates Anywhere... .5 BTC BOUNTY
Keep in mind the rates I gave you for MN are residential.
You might be looking at business rates if you consume more than a certain amount of energy.
As far as renting rack space in a datacenter. Datacenters are very reluctant to allow BTC miners due to the amount of power they drain and I can assure you they will ask what are you co-locating in their racks as they forecast power consumption per sq/ft and other analytics.
So keep those two things in mind.

Interesting. I've started reaching out to data centers but I'm not sure how I'm going to explain what I'm doing... protein folding
? But I will be very up front with the amount of electricity I am going to consume. I haven't got any numbers from them yet but it i definitely an avenue I am interested in exploring as they will be able to house and provide electricity for my farm, provided they are willing to do so and the $/kwh works out. One center I'm looking at also has 'white space' available, which is empty floor space where I set up the farm myself without their racks.
