An update for those that have been following along (and thanks again for the help!). The county has accepted utilizing a factory-installed externally mounted discount arm on our pad-mounted 1MVA transformer as the building disconnect (solved the six-throws issue).

We now plan on installing nine 400 amp 3-phase 208v panels down the container (see conceptual renderings). We originally were going to install PDUs; however, we came across a UL approved mining unit in which they directly wired the power cord to the panel (see below pic). Is such wiring acceptable? Thanks

Bitcoin "mining" impresses me as a colossal waste of resources aimed at creating something out of nothing.

I would like to ask Cottora how many of these things does he expect to make or sell? Seems like what he's doing is a colossal waste of time also.

Between the weed growers and the bitcoin miners we get here, I don't know who is worse.

Bitcoin mining processes transactions in a secure and decentralized manner. There are many people in the world that would rather the market determine the value vs a a central bank. That said, unless you are a rapper, all of the resources pulling gold from the ground is a waste (and don’t forget diamonds, silver).
