Hello all,

Im brand new to the forum and joined to ask for some opinions and feedback. We just placed an order for 60 Avalon 741's (if it's ever processed by Steve Tongue

), and are planning to build a small farm with them. (we also ordered a couple L3+'s, four S9's and two D3's so far, but thats another story).

We hope to run ~55 Avalon 741's at any given time with plans for another bulk order, hoping for about 40BTC/year for a couple years while we can (insert sarcastic 'HA' here)

We have a steel prefab warehouse available, approx 750 sq-ft. We're installing a dry fire suppression system, 24hr security cams, there are guards on the compound, 30,000 btu HVAC with filters and exhaust fans.

I was told the warehouse is connected to 400w 3 phase power and is wired for 220v (IIRC)

Electricity is dirt cheap in my country (like 0.001 USD), and my business partner owns a fire/safety/electrical industrial (Oil/Gas) service company, so we have a certified electrician and network/IT admin assisting with the setup/networking.

I wanted to get some feedback/pointers/tips on:

Power Requirements
Network Requirements

Is there any special network hardware that may be needed to run 50+ miners? (or is it as simple as a simple LAN network, three 24 port switches and an internet connection??)

help an old guy out

Much appreciated.

You will need some of these:

As for networking you can build a few Rasberry Pi, they have a how to a few pages back by Philip. Canaan site state 20 miners per controller but I would do 8 per controller, it would be 2 daisy chains per usb port. Network is fairly simple doesn't require much to setup. Good luck on getting the 60 Avalon' s it's been quiet from Canaan lately.
