I am mining in the desert using

100% solar and I am profitable


(From Reddit)

I have 7 greenhouses in theSouthwest desert. I have twenty- ve S9


miners inside these greenhouses. They are all running 100% off grid
with solar and battery power.
I posted my numbers for this mining operation in the desert a few
hours ago but it was downvoted into obscurity. Here is the link if
anyone is interested:

on_my_solar_powered_farm_and/)
Anyhow, I kinda think that this sub is controlled by miners. I want to
test this out to see if it might be true. Cuz...maybe I am just being
weird and got it wrong. For the record, I am o en wrong.
So here it goes...I have documented my mining operation over the
last year here on Reddit. I detailed my idea from when it was just an
idea all the way to today, where I have a fully functional and
pro table bitcoin mining operation in the middle of the desert....not
connected to the grid at all. I am about to go all-in and buy 1,000
miners for the September shipment of new S9's.
Here are the numbers for mining, for those of you who are
interested. You will need 6 kw of solar panels. And you will need 15
deep cycle lead-acid batteries (24V/200 amp hours each). And a power
control system. I buy the batteries from China for $180 each. I pay
$0.45 per watt for solar panels. Total cost for the off grid solution for
ONE miner is $6800. It costs so little because I found the suppliers on
AliBaba and negotiated my pricing. I am happy to share the suppliers
with anyone who is interested (no one will be interested).
Cost for one S9 is $1225 landed on your door in the US. Total cost for
the off grid mining solution is $8,000. I make .007 btc per day from
each miner. This is about $18 per day at the current price. I make
about $300 pro t on each miner by reselling it (used). I can buy and
sell these miners EVERY time there is a production run from
Bitmain. I get in early and secure my order. Then I slowly sell them
until the next batch is close to shipping.
I am pretty sure that there are LOTS of miners doing this and they
don't want anyone else doing it. They are afraid of ooding the resell
market. And they are afraid of increasing demand for miners. And I
am pretty sure those people are now running this sub. But again,
maybe I am wrong. We'll see...
Basically, I feel that there is a real effort to dissuade people from
mining so that miners can continue to do this.
I purchase in advance from Bitmain and secure the lower pricing. I
buy 100 miners and I run 25 of them. I then begin to resell the
remainder of my miners. There is such a long gap between
shipments from Bitmain that the price just keeps going up and I
pro t on the resell of these machines. Meanwhile, I am using them to
mine until they sell.
By reselling the miners I am making sure I am current with the
fastest miners. I also pro t from buying 100 miners early in the cycle
to resell.
I have NO idea why this happens, but every time I post about mining
and talk about how I have found what I believe to be an awesome
idea for small to medium sized miners, I am down voted and called a
liar and con man by a lot of people here.
So, I am testing my hypothesis. I think that one of three things will
happen to this post: (1) it is down voted to obscurity (2) I am
relentlessly called out for being a liar and con man (3) no one cares.
For the record, this should be a post that is read by many people
here. I am not trying to say that it is the most amazing thing that
someone will read here. But, this is exactly the type of post that
should have people discussing in a bitcoin forum.
Anyhow, for those who are interested, this info is not a FAKE
POSTING. The numbers are real. I am highly pro table. I wish others
would do the exact same thing. I want everyone to be mining.
