Such a farm has already been built: http://imgur.com/a/CcIhX and https://www.datacenterdynamics.com/focus/archive/2014/02/bit...

10 megawatt. In Sweden. Datacenter should be at full capacity by now, so ~10 petahash/sec (= 10% of the global Bitcoin network) assuming ~1 watt per Ghash/sec. My numbers are all +/-30% depending on how much hw is 28nm (KnC's Jupiter systems) vs 20nm (Neptune).



Sweden makes a lot more sense than North Carolina. It's been nearly 100 degrees F here lately, and Summer doesn't begin until tomorrow.


Who was it that said "If you can imagine it most likely someone else has already built it"...


I do not know, but they're surely not a true HNer with that attitude!

What a boring website this would be if we all thought like that.
