The virtual currency mine is generally a mining site composed of many mining machines. Because mining machines must operate continuously and the cost of building mines in cities is relatively high, most mines are selected in relatively remote areas. How much does it cost to invest in IPFS mine? Is it a promising thing to be an IPFS mine owner? Next, let's have a look.

How much does it cost to invest in IPFS mines?

At present, most miners choose to trust their own mining machines in the mines. However, the mines on the market are uneven at present. The problems such as unstable power in unscrupulous mines and entrapment contracts make miners miserable. Some miners want to set up a small mine by themselves. This edition of Cold Knowledge will count the investment required to set up a small mine. To establish a mine, the necessary inputs are divided into site construction costs, mining machine costs, network and maintenance costs, and electricity costs.

Xiao Bian assumes that the mine to be built is a 500 slot mine, all equipped with a new ant miner S17 (16430 yuan), and the mining time is one year.

1. Site construction cost

The site cost includes the review and lease of the land and the construction cost of the plant stands. According to different demands, the cost of the workshop stands varies greatly. A relatively simple stand can be built with hundreds of RMB, while a well equipped stand may require thousands of RMB. At present, 500-600 RMB is mostly spent on the construction of a parking lot in China.

The cost of a small crew is 600 yuan. The necessary site cost for building a small mine with 500 stands is 600X500=3000000 yuan.

2. Mining machine cost

The mining machine cost includes the consumption cost of mining machine and mining machine power supply. Encyclopedia small mining machine is selected from the official website of Ant Mall to purchase Ant mining machine S17 (including power supply). The cost of 500 sets is 16430X500=8215000 yuan.

3. Maintenance and network costs

The network cost includes the cost of purchasing network connection equipment such as network cables, routers, switches, PCs, etc., which is relatively small. This estimate does not take into account.

The maintenance cost includes the cost of hiring a mine maintenance engineer. Two maintenance engineers are enough for a small mine with 500 stands. The salary is 8000 yuan per month, and the employment time is one year. The total cost is 200000 yuan, including the cost of accommodation.

remarks:

At least 2 maintenance engineers are required for shift change. Each maintenance engineer maintains 2000 mining machines on average.

4. Electricity cost

The electricity cost includes the electricity charge for the operation of the mining machine, the transformer and line used for power supply.

The electricity charge varies from cycle to cycle in a year. For example, if you can get more than 20 cents per kilowatt hour in wet season, the electricity charge will be much higher in dry season. The electricity cost is calculated according to the electricity charge of 0.35 yuan per kilowatt hour.

According to the power consumption of 500 ant miner S17, 2385w will operate for one year, and the electricity cost will be 3656205 yuan.

The transformer cost is calculated according to the calculation method given by Ant Mine's customer service: 2.385KWX500/0.8=1490.625KVA

The common immersed 3135KVA transformer in the mine site. One 3135KVA transformer must be sufficient for 500 Ant S17 mining machines. The cost is 100000 yuan.

Remarks: The safe volume of 3135KVA transformer is 80%, so the available capacity is 2508KVA.

Is it a promising thing to be an IPFS mine owner?

According to the data on the IPFS Block Browser, the total amount is: 2 billion; At present, the total excavated amount is 126 million; The remaining amount that can be dug is 1.874 billion yuan. Of the 126 million yuan already in circulation, 76 million were used as pledges for mining, and 25 million were destroyed; The specific global circulation volume is 26 million.

It is a basic common sense that Filecoin can only be produced by storing files and processing data in the mine.

A. Where does IPFS miners profit from?

For BTC or ETH, when they are miners, they can only solve the block information to obtain the corresponding virtual currency rewards. As the 3.0 of blockchain storage, IPFS has two functions when mining machines are running in a normal commercial project; One role is to assist in data processing; Another function is to store data. Because the file storage system of the IPFS system is distributed, that is, every miner can gain profits from ecological storage; The second is the mining profit of data processing.

B. Will the recent crackdown on BTC mining and trading affect IPFS?

The IPFS distributed system is similar to the traditional storage market itself. From the perspective of past depositors, they built their own computer rooms, carried out their own markets, and operated and maintained their own computers. IPFS is a tool for society to build and store together, but in the process of system operation, it will generate Filecoin digital currency as a return.

That is to say, IPFS belongs to the combination of traditional storage market and shared storage market. It meets the needs of storage customers in the storage market, integrates market resources into service programs, and does not consume additional energy here.

We mentioned the key reasons for the crackdown on BTC. By comparison, the administrative energy will not only not suppress BTC, but also fully support it. Here is an important reason: the economic model of IPFS really conforms to the sharing economic model, and has built a harmonious win-win situation!

In the end, being a mine owner of IPFS is a promising thing and a career!

Speaking of this, I believe you have a certain understanding of the cost of investing in IPFS mines and whether it is a promising thing to be the owner of IPFS mines. In general, the editor here also reminds investors that no matter whether they want to invest in IPFS mines or not, after all, any investment is accompanied by certain risks. You must have a comprehensive understanding before entering the site, and do not follow the trend blindly.
