Antminer d3s are now on sale

Currently offering MASSIVE boost in hash, will get around 1 btc/month at the moment

What's your monthly power consumption?

I only have the one ethereum mining rig (5x 480)

about 650 Kwh

I'll admit that I'm currently completely ignorant about crypto mining. But I will be building a house next year, and intend to set up a 10kw solar array on the roof (with enough expansion for another 5kw) with battery storage. Yeah, my roof will be that big. So by my back-of-a-napkin calculation, with the 10kw I will have some yearly excess power, and with 15kw I'd definitely have surplus. Was thinking that setting up a crypto miner would be a no-brainer.

I am, as a DC electric engineer, designing an installation where the miner and cooling are directly powered in DC from a solar rig. With back up from grid or gen. Should be about 25% more efficient, so feasable in our expensive energy environment. Surplus heat is recuperated for domestic use.
