Hi guys,

I'm from EU and electricity is pretty expensive here. I'm mining at home with 20+ asics now and pretty happy of the returns despite a 0,16�/KWH.
With a friend who is mining at home aswell we want to scale up to a small farm and I've finally managed to find a great elec deal (0,07�/KWH / 1MW) + warehouse but the issue is this place is 2h flight from where I live.

I'm seriously thinking to move on and launch this farm at this location just for my friend & I and maybe other miners.
The warehouse is fine, with cold air, secured with 24 hours guards on site. Just need to hire one or two tech to run the place. I'm just not sure what type of tech I need to recruit. I'm thinking a basic level of IT knowledge & network but maybe I'm wrong because a farm with 300+ Asic is not the same story to run compared to a basement home farm.
Same regarding electricity, as it's a gonna be more "industrial mining" does recruiting a elec tech make sense?

I would be more than happy to get your return of experiences and feelings about that?

Many thanks,

Larson311

Ensure you read up about using a proxy.
No one with 100 or more miners should have them connected to the internet at all.
Connect them to a proxy, and the miner's internet usage will be the same as 1 single miner, with the added gains that implies: to increase average connectivity performance.

you need a few things.

a proxy maybe maybe not as it depends if every unit is pointed to 1 spot.



But you need remote operations
I run a mixed gear mine.

I mine with 50 asics. In one location
I mine with 75 gpus. In five locations soon to be six.
I can access all units via my home pc.


As for a direct tech you need an on call guy to manually alter gear when needed. this will be sporadic 1 or 2 times a month maybe more maybe less.


He also will need to clean and inspect gear on a 3 to 9 month basis. this is an all day or 2 day job. so it could be 3 x 2 = 6 full days of work.


If I recall you have roots or location in Norway.
I am USA based but my Grandmother was born in Norway, Oslo.
I would be willing to help with setup via PM and Emails.
