It's much less than 25 cents per KWH, but I live in Ohio, which is cheaper than Jersey. I got quotes and negotiated with multiple data centers until I got one that I liked, but can tell you for sure that the first quote you get from them is likely to be very inflated.

I was not in a hurry and took my time, and the co-loc facilty I liked the best had a price match policy. I was able to get them to beat a quote from another co-loc facility that offered a good price, but I didn't like as much.

Also, keep in mind that you don't need a gold plated co-loc facility for BTC mining. I haven't had any downtime yet but a little downtime does not bother me too much for the price I am paying, and BTC also uses very little network bandwidth. You don't need a state of the art data center for BTC mining, and I certainly didn't want to pay state of the art data center prices.

I was actually very frustrated with my data center search until I filled out a request at http://www.datacentermap.com. Within 24 hours, I was contacted by three different data centers in the area that I hadn't previously considered, and ended up choosing one of them. I highly recommend that site to start your search.

The main risk with renting co-loc space is the contract length. I had to commit to 12 months, so the first few months of your contract are the most risky. It would be very painful for the price of BTC to crash right after signing a 12 month co-loc contract.

Also, a lot of co-loc facilities require insurance, which is a royal pain in the ass to get for any BTC related business. The big, conservative insurance companies like State Farm and Nationwide will not touch a BTC mining business with a ten foot pole. I had to work with multiple insurance agents, and it took me a couple of weeks, but I was finally able to get insurance through Travelers.

It takes a while, but persistence pays off. If it was easy to make a profit mining BTC, everyone would do it.

That is proprietary information, so I'll never tell. I am very happy with the cost and quality of this co-location facility, and it's close to where I live.

and link for those orange / black fans also please? thx!

thx!

1 fan blows air in, and the other at the rear part throws air out, right?

I don't own it, but I have good connections :-) PM me if you're looking for DC space, and I can introduce you to my connections :-D

I was trying to sell one coin, but this message appears:

WE CANT PROCESS YOUR ORDER

Agree. And remember; if you buy an S3 you can still use your old S1. It will still run profitably for a while, especially if underclocked.

Typically, angel investors get paid after a certain amount of time according to a % of EBIT or revenue.

This period is almost never below 4 years.

Additionally, Angel investors typically profit from an exit scenario according to a percentage of their original funding.

And is there actually a reason compensation is being delayed to october? If I remember correct SPtech had enough private funding for each batch.

Why will customer funds be held hostage?

Sucks you don't get your refunds until October. That's a nice interest free loan that Spondoolies got from the community and now you don't have the option to buy competitors gear if you wanted since SP is holding onto your money for a few more months. 

No, that was an example of what you have been doing. Regardless of you being a liar and a shill, you are the one who took money in exchange for a product that is significantly different than advertised and you are the one who is legally obligated to deal with any requested refunds. So, if someone asks you for a full refund, will you provide it as legally required? Look at Ken Slaughter, is that your future? Will you do a runner like Labcoin? Shall we start calling you BFLRoadStress now?

Good luck trying to sell anything else in the future.

Well you just proved my point by advertising AM gen4 chips

Please correct me more on my lies just like jimmothy does.


Please post a picture with the 28 S3s into a single server cabinet on the dedicated thread with pictures of mining rigs.

Thank you. Will try to have fun while doing it.

I was waiting for the Spondoolies SP30 announcement before ordering more S3s.

Each server cabinet I rent has 2 x 30A 208V outlets for a total of ~10KW, so I was hoping to be able to run 4 SP30s at 6TH/s in a single cabinet (24TH).

Considering the August / Sept batch of SP30s only runs at 4.5 TH/s and uses 3KW, I can only get 3 SP30s in a single server cabinet for ~13.5TH.

I can get 28 S3s into a single server cabinet for ~12.3TH (440 GH/s @ 350W each).

I see absolutely no reason to pre-order a SP30 over buying a S3, which is available now, even though the S3 has slightly worse power efficiency.

I hope many folks learned a hard lesson about the perils of pre-orders, and I wouldn't want to be Roadstress right now and have to deal with all the pissed off customers from his group buy. Have fun cleaning up this mess, Roadstress!

I still like Spondoolies tech, and think they make good products, but they did grossly overhype and inflate the SP30 specifications in order to sell more SP30 pre-orders. I may even purchase a October SP30 if they ship immediately and are competitive with other offerings on the market in October.
