Thank you for your support and feedback.
I noticed you expect each 1.2mw container to house 2PH. Does this mean that asics have been tested at 0.6w/gh?
ASICs have been tested at various efficiencies including ~0.6W/G. Better cooling also changes power consumption (some chips 33% less at 65C vs. 85C).
I would like to reiterate that the center point of the business plan is not to buy into chips and hardware designs too early. The money that hat buys 1GH today might buy 2GH in a few weeks. It also allows more time to develop and produce mature boards. One of our engineers will participate in the open source board design too. Alternatively, we may use a board design by somebody else if it proves to be more efficient.
At the long term, it may make sense to use totally different hardware or currencies altogether. DataTank Mining is not just about the first deployment, all that should count for investors is capacity and performance, not brand or type of chip.
So it's quite possible that they will be releasing "shares" in multiple batches, for less and for less and again for less
We cannot release units of capacity for less than it costs to build, there is no profit in the build cost and we are passing through real expenses. In fact, we can build systems cheaper if we run them by ourselves, we don't require bells and whistles on our own systems, or glossy paint.
We earn by deploying 20% of identical capacity along public unit holders, and hence we will make sure that whatever we deploy is most profitable - our own income depends on it.
There's also minimal information as to who the operators are and whether they have a credible.
Our own team will build and operate the DataTank systems. We are also looking for external partners for later phases, depending how the market develops.
We are also in contact with some of the more successful mines to explore synergies for the future. A reliable operation needs reliable people and we are truly open when it comes to partnerships.
