How are people able to get more electricity than what the state allows? I am in Florida and was informed I can only get 200 Amp to the house .
you can get 200 amp to your garage , they cant stop that
200 amps is already huuuge ...
the key thing is get those amps compatible with 220-240v instead of US default 110v
My question would be why would you want 200 amps of miners in your home garage in Florida!?!? I'm in Florida as well and unless you have some sort of complex airflow or hvac setup, there's no way you're going to want to put that many miners in your home garage. I can't even imagine what living with the noise of that would be like either. If you're going to big you should rent out a small warehouse/garage where the power will likely be available and you'll have better airflow solutions. The cost of renting a place out would be negligible if you're running with some of the new ASICS out there that are extremely profitable.
In florida you can use a cheap swamp cooler setup that uses water to cool the garage, 240v can be wired for single phase for 200 amp quite easily , 200 amp or 160amp of rigs wont be that loud if you use normal quiet PSU's and if its detached whats the big deal with noise
Awesome thread---my question to the FL miners are the ideas of hurricanes....my house did not flood in Katrina but the power loss that is possible and evacuations, etc....wouldn't it have been cheaper to rent space in a datacenter? I am hoping to do my scaling up that way.
