From me the speculation is still:
- Is the hardware there new, or have they moved their old hosting to this new location
On that point, I'm sure they won't tell us, so...
Exhibit A:
See the large waste bin? Full of brand new arctic cooler boxes next to the assembly bench? I think that is as good an indication as any that the machines are completely new. You wouldn't throw away 1000's of coolers just to move them to a new location, especially if it's only a matter of packing them onto a lorry and driving them a few hours north.
It would certainly explain why they were going to sell Jupiters, then didn't.
Then they were going to sell boards, but didn't.
And why they had a "bottleneck" with controller boards.
It's all there in that building now.
From me the speculation is still:
Does that matter? I imagine it's just standard boards.- If new, is it designed specifically for this purpose, i.e. not compatible with their consumer model miners?
From me the speculation is still:
They are renting the building and paying for the electricity. You think they are going to kit it out and leave it all switched off until July, throwing away all that money?? It's obvious in the next couple of weeks they intend to have all those racks full. And then, if they have enough - How much of that is hashing live on the network and how much was turned on just to test for the video?
From me the speculation is still:
- If hashing, what percentage is directly for KnC themselves
They aren't going to tell us if they are over 5%! They'll just weasel around and say it's this that or the other.
If they did have 5% hashing and these are new machines, then it's clear they are 6% or over now.
But I guess it'll take a photo of this entire datacentre with completely full racks to convince some people.
