Got any good websites for finding mining facilities? I always struggle to get accurate info on available power.

If I were in your shoes, I’d just DCA into bitcoin. Halving is approaching, and that could be a good ROI point.

250kW is backyard scale, not worth your time. You can only run them at 80% load, so you’re looking at 200kW usable. If it’s a hobby, go for it, but it’s not a viable business model. Who’s handling daily maintenance and…

What size megawatts did you hit profitability? What’s the ROI timeframe? What’s your cost per kWh? You need a sizable installation just to make payroll. A new 40MW gas turbine costs around 31 million, and used ones are…

Using stranded or flare gas needs to be on a massive scale to make sense financially. Plus, you’ve got to maintain a power plant, often in remote spots. I can get electricity locally for about 43 bucks per megawatt per…

I’ve got 400 amps at 480 volts available at 4.3 cents, mostly hydro and wind. Just a connex box to set it up, though. Located in NE Oklahoma.

First off, what’s the energy cost out there? 1 to 3 MW is pretty small, so you might not have much negotiating power. And cooling cost? Isn’t it super hot where you are? You need cheap power for this to make sense. 5kW…

Hey, is bitcoin even legal in Tanzania? I thought it was a safe bet. Nah, it's not legal. The Bank of Tanzania warns against using cryptos since they're not authorized. Only the Tanzanian shilling is legal currency,…

Space and power are cheap in Texas, but they also have unique agreements with energy providers. They can get discounts and still make money!

Yeah, and you’re only getting maybe two miners out of that. Not worth the trouble at all. Just buy actual Bitcoin and DCA it.

Solid explanation, OP! I haven’t dived into options trading yet. Seems too complex for me. Just sticking to what I know in the markets.

UI is a biggie. Much better than Bitmex, which is key for new users. Plus their customer support is 24/7 live chat, way better than the ticket system.

For sure, Bybit's advantages make it stand out. I tried it and loved it right away. It’s definitely a step up from Bitmex.

Come on, even though I get extreme altitude concerns in aerospace, a 12v device at regular altitudes? Doesn’t make sense. My extension cords and appliances work fine at 7200 ft. That limit of 5000 ft feels overly…

+1 to that, the altitude concern is real.

At sea level, pressure is 14.7 lbs, but at 10,000 feet it’s only 10.2 lbs. So density drops about 69% at the same temp. Humidity matters a lot too because moisture conducts heat way better than air. Personally, I’d take…

I reckon cooler temperatures would compensate for the density problems.

You could look into investing in mining companies if you want exposure without the hassle of mining directly. They tend to mirror BTC prices. Just a way to add BTC to your portfolio.

Thanks for the welcome! Not sure where you live, but if you heat your place with electricity, maybe use that heat from miners in winter? Do the math on that.

Not trying to be a downer, but at this scale, it’s not gonna work financially. No need to crunch numbers, you won’t see a solid return on that investment. Consider putting your cash into a hosted miner near cheaper,…
