So I've got a question for you guys.

I'm currently drawing up a business plan for an absurd amount of miners. I might aim for a state in the US with super cheap electric (looking at you Washington), supplemented with either one VERY large wind turbine (1MWh, which i believe is about a million dollars, at least it was when i was working in solar in 2010)

1MW isn't a lot - it's about 800 miners = about 10PH

Imagine what sidewinder has at his data centre (yeah I've been there)

The pool can handle anything you can throw at it

My preference is 5% of the network, with a limit of 10% of the network.

5% means that on average there's 7.2 blocks a day - so even on a 720% diff block it's only one day.
720% diff blocks happen, on average, 1 in 1339.4 blocks, so at 7.2 a day, that's, on average, once every 186 days = about twice a year we'd have days without a block.

...
TL;DR There's a 30-40% chance I'll be commanding 50+PH pretty soon. Show of hands of people who would want that on Kano and who would not. I'm a strong believer in shared luck, and my initial math for pooled mining on this pool (february luck levels included) looks positive so far.

Well as you can see - sidewinder is that size ...

He'd be happy to have someone else on the pool that size, so he's not the only very large miner here.

Obviously talk to Canaan also - they're A841 miners are better performance/less power per Watt than Bitmain S9 also.

Holy crap where did my math go wrong on the power, you're 100% correct 800 * 1370 = 1,096,000

Thank you for the info. Once i get passed the business plan ill reach out.
