A report from one of the largest Bitcoin farms
Bashny.Net
This farm in the Chinese province - one of the largest in the world. Right now it produces more petaheshey / s, which is about 5% of the world Bitcoin network. But the farm is in the process of rapid development. Here regularly travel trucks go builders in helmets, imported and installed new equipment.
In principle, the structure could be called "data center", as a large area it occupies four former warehouse length of 150 meters and a width of about 20 m, i.e. 12000 m2 in total.
But there is one feature of which is difficult to use the word "data center". Specificity of Bitcoin-business requires focuses on cheapness. Cheap building, cheap equipment, the cheapest materials and unskilled workers. Everything looks so pathetic that does not go to any comparison with any real data center, staffed by professional engineers and high-quality equipment is installed.
The name "Farm" fits best. Here, even the cooling system made of wet cardboard and fans. Water flows down the cardboard and evaporated under the pressure of the air. Cheap and effective.
But indent for the wires in the wall.
In the world of mining Bitcoin, if you do not expand and reinvest part of the profits, then your income will decrease each day exponentially.
New ASIC-installation of mining appear every month, and they are much more powerful than the previous. It is realized in practice the principle of "time - money". Who a few days earlier I received new equipment and run it in the case - that will remove the cream and make more competitor. We have to work hard every day purchasing and installing a more powerful system. On a farm in China are scattered everywhere just unpacked boxes.
The new equipment is ready available space. When it is over, builders can build a couple of days near the new hangar.
Work is so much that employees need a place to rest. Unlike other Bitcoin farms, none of the staff does not live here, it's just a bed to take a nap break.
At night, the farm is particularly futuristic.
