Hello,
I want to start a bigger mining farm exploiting my cheap access to electricity. Which miner is most profitable at 0.01 usd/kwh? I mean, where you get most bang for the buck.
I have been looking at buying 100-200 L3+ miners, as i found them to be more profitable than the newer s19 machines for example for the same amount of money.
For 100 L3+ miners, my costs would be 0.01 usd/kwh + 300 usd/month (Cost of housing them) + 700 usd/month (Electric) all amounts are approximate.
I estabished contacts with a big reputable Chinese seller and after a lot of discussion back and forth, we agreed on 6000 usd for 100 L3+ miners. Every machine will be tested before sending it, shipping costs will be about 800-1200 usd, cheapest and slowest option. Is this a good deal? Or would you guys propose another miner?
Something that worries me a little bit is how the profits will look like after LTC will be halved, that is going to happen soon. And Im worried if this will make my setup unprofitable?
Maybe there is another miner out there, that is quite cheap right now to buy due to high watt usage, but which can be profitable at low electric costs?
Best regards all, will be happy to receive any advice.
The forever question for cheap power is how do I blend my gear to make good money.
A) accept perfection of your choice to be impossible.
B) determine how much power you have
C) determine how much cooling you have.
100 l3+ = 100 x 800 watts or 80kwatts that is about 275000 BTU.
I can assure you there are downsides to doing 100 of them
1) they take up space
2) they take time to manage.
I suggest a blend of gear.
(l3+)(m30)(l3+)(m30)
this would be 20 m30 and 20 L3+
or 20 x 3300 = 66000 watts for what's miner
and 20 x 800 = 16000 watts for L3+
same power only 40 units not 100
and the L3+ act as coolers for the m30 gear.
cost is more 20 x 1200 = 24000
and 20 x 75 = 1500
maybe 25500
if not acceptable
bump the L3+ to 40 say 3000
drop the m30 to 10 say 12000
15000 total outlay
much better way to play the game.
