Whoops, almost forgot the O&M building
- Black Area - Operations & Maintenance building. This is where the technicians and engineers on site monitor the facility and fix the ASICs in the repair shop. That building is about 10,000 sq ft compared to the storage building in the
Let’s hop on and answer questions that anyone may have
Main point: we moved all of our machines from our hosted facilities at Charlie (Kearney) and Delta (Granbury) to our self mining facilities at Alpha and Salt Creek (to be energized in April).
Here is a guide to how to understand the site:
- Blue Area - 9 VEUs at 2.5MWs each. Can house a total of 22.5MWs of mining equipment. Build complete.
- Red Area - 7 VEUs at 2.5MWs each. Can house a total of 17.5MWs of mining equipment. Build complete.
- Orange Area - 4
These are folks working on the exhaust in the center of the building where the machines push waste heat in the hot aisles to cool down the ASICs and that gets pushed out through these openings

Moving miners to Salt Creek is expected to have a big impact (~30%) on lowering our cost to mine a bitcoin. And important to do right before the halving to be well prepared.

We don’t make any money for building out the sites. They are direct pass through costs. Core’s $200k/MW was to finish the sites that were already partially built since they had to stop during the bankruptcy, not the fully baked build costs of the sites from start to finish.

Happy to do so. Most miners build sites for about $500,000/MW. We told Ionic that we can do it cheaper than the peers. We said we would put our money where our mouth was and be penalized for any fees over $395,000/MW and that’s where that number came from that people are taking
