So I looked at their website and I do not see anything for mining equipment. Do they fully understand what you're wanting to host? In my day job I work with some fairly large hosting providers, and most of them shy away from mining equipment. Mainly due to the HUGE power consumption and heat output. Servers aint got nothing on ASICs.

Most hosting datacenters ration out electric like they are their own utility company.. that is how they really make their $$$$.. They get that ultra cheap industrial rates and DO NOT let you milk as much as you can shove into a rack. You will be lucky to fill half a rack before they tell you that you need to buy another rack for more power... they will give a ton of reasons why but it is their profit maker so that is all you need to know.. They ain't going to have a furnace of heat coming out of a single rack that they have to cool since it effects the whole area of that datacenter's environment.

The problem most will have is any electric costs you save by getting a place with really cheap electric will nail you on rent, etc which eats it away.
If it was easy it wouldn't be for very long.. that is capitalism. So you have to hunt out a space that has great potential to double dip.. the space used for a mechanic and the electric used for mining.. or something similar. Perhaps someone who wants all that heat for whatever they are doing and join forces with them.

Or you go full baller venture cap mode and just spend everyone else's money to build it and well.. you can paint the rest of that picture or read history on many other instances of that. Zen Miner anyone?

This guy is giving me capacity up to 75 at that rate, and anything after that I'd probably move out on my own anyway.

I'm in VC, so I'm all about using outside capital. Us fund managers do it too :p

ALSO...is it true people are only making $11 / day off an S9? Why do I see posts of people making $20+?
