I talked to a DC in Iceland and they gave me a price of 95 EUR per kW per month. That comes out to about the same price.
Last quote i got was 78 /kw for small customers, ofcourse this only gets cheap if you order multiple racks (ideally a whole DC container, then they can give you all the cooling you want)
Let's start working some details with them and then let's start a Group Buy for hosting. I am sure that there are a lot of small miners in Europe who would love to colocate their rigs if they will have nice price/kw.
Excellent! Strength in numbers. I like it
(Let me know if you need help)
Thank you for the support!
Collider how would you feel contacting the DC again and start discussing some terms?
@DevonMiner my August SP30 units will be hosted in the WA DC. Don't like it? Or just want a DC that is closer to home?
@bobsag3 keep us updated while we wait for some prices
I will contact all the DCs in Iceland now (atleast all the ones i know of).
(I went to sleep yesterday

)
They typically have several electricity lines (or are connected to a ring) so backup power comes from the Iceland power grid, too, all electricity is renewable (hydrothermal).
DCs pay 3-4ct / kwh, price is guaranteed for 10 years.
My guess would be, Tier2 redundancy is enough? (as we aren´t trying to host system crytical servers....)
I just wrote the emails, asking for both a 2 rack and 20 rack high density solution above 20kw, so we should be able to get some rough estimates for bulk power prices.
I also specifically asked how low cold aisle temperatures they would be able to achieve.
If there are additional questions, feel free to state your ideas here (or pm me, i dont know how much spondoolies likes this thread to be cluttered with hosting information)
