Exactly. I've speced big data center in Washington and paid for tons of it with the plan of .5 w/GH which puts profitability in the green for 12 months. Forget about a discount on the price, with the new power figures - I am clearly in the red.
With an adjustment on price only, Spondoolies shortcoming and failure to meet spec caused my datacenter to get into the red. That is not fair compensation. Margins on mining operations are very thin these days. A reduction in price doesn't account for electricity spent on lifetime shortcomings. Fuck.
The project penciled out nicely - until the new power figures ruined the whole plan. Price reduction won't help. That efficiency loss has to be made up somewhere else.
