Anyone interested in setting up a not-for-profit data center for miners in the Montreal area?
The reason for Montreal is cheap electricity prices.
The goal will be to have a space where miners can co-locate at cost. Every miner will be responsible for their own electricity costs. Common expenses such as rent will be split based on space usage.
I am definitely interested - but be warned that it will take significant startup money/power use to make it viable.
Expect the costs of rent/oversight/internet/cooling/power to average about $0.22/kWh for a ~30kW power draw and about $0.175/kWh for a 50kW power draw.
How did you calculate $0.22/kWh?
I know that 10 kWh running 24/7 costs $683 + HST in Montreal. That's about 9c per kwh.
Data center colocation costs are quite a bit higher.
