Hey miners! Hope you all hitting it big! I got in touch with a power company wanting to build a mining hotel. They’re starting small with 10MW but plan to scale up fast... Here’s a look at the place: https://youtu.be/VbW3fngQB2Q Some areas need a ton of cleanup.

That sounds pretty cool! Just make sure you get a legit electrician this time so it doesn't go up in flames! Wishing you the best.

Yeah, licensing wasn't the issue last time but sometimes tech just fails, you know? This time, we’ve got a fresh layout planned.

Sounds interesting! But I'm curious how they'll handle the electric bills and still make profits, especially now with the market being so rough. You might pull it off, just be sure the numbers add up.

We’re building one right now! Other sites are being set up too with existing buildings getting retrofitted for mining containers. We scored all the needed gear in decent time, fingers crossed the virus doesn’t mess things up. Will keep this thread updated.

We hit a snag with some shipments from China, ugh. Currently putting together the first room at a smaller site. This plant can only handle 4 MWh. Here’s video of the container we’re working on: https://youtu.be/hl-NKTJaBPE.

You probably meant 4MW right? MWh is for power usage over time, just saying...

Mining's tougher than it looks. Building a farm privately isn't easy, or else we'd see them everywhere. That site looks big, props to you!

What about cooling? Gonna be a lot of heat from all those miners... Looks cold out there though, right?

Cooling’s sorted, using fans for that. Also checking out automation platforms for mining and found some good options.

Everything’s going smoothly, appreciate the concern. With sanctions, costs for this farm are lower than ever. Might even be one of the cheapest spots for industrial mining. And no need for swift thanks to Bitcoin!

This isn't about finding clients, just looking to share knowledge on mining hotel management and share progress.

Man, some crazy decisions from Russia lately... Their market's gonna tank once foreign restrictions lift.

Guys, let’s keep the politics out of this thread. We have 5MW available now and started taking clients, but we're full so not looking to take more clients here.

That sign looks Chinese, let's not jump to conclusions. Stop the FUD!
