Everywhere. Northern, southern, central. They are all over the place. I do not work directly for a farm, so I cannot offer tours. We see media guys all the time, so tours arent out of the question, just shoot your shot and reach out!
Most are grid tied, leveraging curtailment. Have been on a couple that bought surrounding wind turbines that power the farm.
Cool, any pictures of some of the infrastructure? Basically like porn for people that want to mine at scale but can't afford it...
When you say "contractor", what does that mean exactly? Are you involved in maintenance? Got to see some of the stuff that maintenance crews do when I was at Mining Disrupt last year and it looked pretty interesting.
We sign NDAs with the companies, no pictures allowed. They hire media professionals so they can review what they captured for approval.
By contractor, I mean I am brought on as a 1099 employee rather than W2. I dont work directly for the company running the farm, but there are times when they need extra hands to help with deployments or general upkeep around the site.
How much hashrate all y'all working with? Pool mining or solo? If pool, which and why? Do these sites run their own node local? Any information you have about how it's all set up would be very interesting.
To be honest, hashrate varies no much around these sites, its not really a metric we discuss. Last time I asked, if I remember correctly, the site was running 7 TH/s.
The metric we use daily are watts. That ranges anywhere between 50 to 300 MW on a site.
Big farms are using pools, and which pool they use is publicly available information.
Yeah, farms have their own nodes. The entire farm is run through a central server rack that broadcast the hashrate to the pool. Super complex, but for us nerds, insanely cool.
Where in Texas? Do y'all offer tours? What is/are your energy source(s)?

Understood.

Going to assume you meant EH/s based on power consumption :)
I am so bad with the hashrate stuff lol.
Yeh, I wanna go on a tour!
