If your 20,000 USD rig consumes 6,000 W of electricity, it would cost you only 860 USD per month total to host it with me. Thats probably what you pay right now only in electricity, excluding other hosting costs. I will reduce the fee by 25% after the first two months when the operation is up and running, and its very likely I will reduce fees even further as time goes by. I can further reduce fees significantly because the electricity in Venezuela is virtually free. Your rig can remain profitable even when it cannot pay for electricity where you live.

Well - I could show you a way to pay a maximum of 150 USD per 6000W / month.
With cooling lets say 300 USD per 6000W / month.

In deed the cooling mutliplier in this area is not between x1.5 to x3.0 like in most european or american datacenters. Its more like x1.1 Wink

But lets say its x2 and this leads to 300 USD per 6000 W / month and we already have all other costs covered.

But tell me one point:
Why I should tell anyone if I know it?
Maybe your starting money is not enough!

That is a real point on a mining adventure and the same like for digging real gold.
You cannot go in with 1.000 or 10.000 --- you need more starting money and you will always have a high risk.

But a price of 0.2 or 0.15 or 0.1 USD per kwh is not working. Nobody will invest, because it wont work.

Crowd funding will not work in such a project.
People will give you trust, if you tell them what you are planning to do.
But those people who have the money (big player) wont need you!
They will take the idea and earn more without you. A bad circle you cannot leave easy Wink

Maybe best way is BTC hosting for foreign machines?
The winnings could be used to invest in own machines ... etc. etc.
But best? No!
Buying in bulk = discounts
Buying time by time = more expensive

You can calculate it 100x times ... under 150.000 USD starting invests and without the knowledge (and connections to people) about the perfect location you will run in problems and nobody will send you expensive hardware.

And before you ask:
Yes, I have such connections. No, they are not interested in your money, partnership or anything else Wink

I have the option to do "more" on my own. But --- I am satisfied with everything I have. No need of more money for more work.
Enough money for perfect work is my goal Cheesy
