The local BTC group I’m part of took a field trip out to a mining facility in Sylvania, Georgia today. Super cool.
They mentioned they’re actually on the smaller side, but the place still houses over 3,000 mining units. Today, only about 500 were running, mostly due to current market conditions and the inefficiency that comes with them.
Still, the scale of it was pretty impressive. Multiple containers, cooling units, self-developed grid...
They were generous with their time - walked us through everything, answered every question. Just a solid, open look into how it all works. First time I’ve ever seen anything like that in person, so it was a genuinely educational experience for me.
At one point they said the amount of power moving through there could support three cities. Pretty incredible!
Anyone else ever visit a facility like this?
This is really cool. I've never visited a mining farm.
I should see if any of the miners in TX would be open to tours like this. It's a good idea.
Yes!
I'd love to see something like this. Puts things into scale, provides perspective. Did they have any battery storage on site?
-T
Battery storage? Hmm, no I don't think he said anything about that, but I didn't ask
I'd love to visit a mining farm. I always have the idea that if I can find electricity cheap enough it's a no brainer. Seeing everything else that goes into it, repairs and security would give you a better picture if what its like.
Are those a bunch of S19's just sitting around?
Yep, they are
