If you are worried about the price of electricty just wait 'till you see the price of ASIC miners you need to mine bitcoins these days. Mine a different alt coin --scrypt it's cheaper to get started.

Also 200 amps is not as much as you may think. My miner room has 400amps and is sucking up every bit of it.

:2 cents:

Rock on!!!

I worked on the development of the Habanero board and we have some left before we run out and just introduced our summer sale.. for 650Gh/s for $380 + shipping.. I'm not sure if we will be doing another revision of the board but just thought I would share..

I don't know if it will or not, but when it was at $5, if someone had told me it would hit $1,000 within 6 month, I wouldn't have believed it either.

email me. Im actually interested. Im local and have the resources, but need a LOT more info ...... aranea987 - gmail

I dont think I'll go into business with you.

If you're starting off with stealing your electricity (theft of services) it probably wouldnt be long before you're stealing from me as well.

A thief is a thief, anyway you look at it.

couple questions:
What coin are you thinking of mining?
Heat... how will you deal with it?
What kind of setup/rigs are you looking at?
At 200 AMPS you will need to remember to a lot some of that for lights and anything else that will be running at the location. Also things are going to get a little warm so extra AC will be needed.
(I've had 120 Encoding rigs in a 1000 foot office space years back and the staff were in shots in the Canadian winter..)

So make that 200AMPS and call it 120 - 150 once you factor in normal office use.
A couple AC units will just call that 20 AMPS
So say 100-130 AMPS for Mining
High end rigs pulling 2TH will eat 5-8AMPS each
So we are talking what 15-20 Miners max at that location (or less depending on what else is going on at that location.

Each miner will run say $6k to build to hit 2TH/s
6 * 15 miners = $90k
With an output of 30TH/s
If the difficulty rate didn't drop... :
You would be looking at say $8k in coin each month so say 12 months to hit profit line.
after 3 years you are looking at say $120-140k in profit..
That's if nothing bad happens over the next 3 years. *or anything great happens...*

wow how things change quick with crypto. Hard enough to pull 1 btc every 3 days now that doge dice and doge is done :1orglaugh

200Amps is not that much, I mean we had our boards running at a facility and from what I remember with the current board design we had, psu, liquid cooling and well just keeping the place cool we had around 23-25Th which well at the current diff level is:

The expected generation output, at 25000 Ghps, given current difficulty of 27428630902.258 , is 0.458384335774 BTC per day and 0.0190993473239 BTC per hour, and well with 11 or so more days or less to the next diff swap..

that sounds awesome. What part of those 10-13 btc a day turns into profit

So you say you earned 195000$ just on BC rise from 0.5 to 200$ ?
Congrats

btc mining making money?
