Chips, un-boarded, do not make mining hardware. Staff of 1-3 receives chips, boards chips. Boards wired, working miners. If you'd quit playing DotA and actually go to your engineering classes, you'd know that.
My earlier explanations have been more than patient for the aggressively naîve troll, but hopefully they can be referenced if anyone needs an explanation on why DC hosting fees would be smaller than would be expected for a full-scale IT operation for a typical company working with fiat-priced products.
So...you consider yourself a little Phinnaeus Gage and you started digging for information about me over the internet. So now we got that covered too. Getting angrier with every post huh?
I know that chips unboarded do not make mining hardware, but instead of ordering the massive amount of chips (more than the total hashrate at that moment actually which I find pretty strange) of 60PH just to look at them AM could have ordered 50PH or 40PH or 30PH and with the money difference they could self mine. I consider this a bad decision. Prove me wrong!
Regarding the DC. Why are you comparing it to a full-scale IT operation? I feel that you invented this to lie to yourself about the lower fees/costs because
I have never compared it to anything! I only said that there are some DC costs that you just can't ignore when you are trying to deploy 30+MW. I never said about a regular DC or a full-scale IT operation. Actually the fact that for bitcoin mining you only need a ghetto/minimalist DC is well known and was already discussed on the Hardware forums. You just need good cooling and space in order to do it the cheapest way possible, BUT the electrical costs are still considerable and you can't ignore them!
