Title: How much would you charge to setup miners?
Post by: yousufatik20 on September 29, 2018, 11:58:53 AM

Hi,

I'm curious to know how much would someone charge to set up a mining operation, say, 10 miners? Configuration and wallet, information etc.

Thank you.

I personally don't think there's enough info in the OP to tell us a real number.
What needs to be done exactly?

- will you be asked to help giving purchase advice? Calculate ROI, look for PSU's, shelves, cooling,... Or is is just installing gear that has been bought by your customer?
- will you be asked to calculate the mining room's wiring, breakers,...
- will you only be giving advice, or will you physically help to setup shelves, install A/C,...

I'd personally see what would be asked of me, try to calculate the amount of time i'd spend on the project, and multiply it with a reasonable rate (about $30-$35/hour in my country for such a specific job). Like it has been said before: maybe you'll work for a lot less (depending on your country, and the fact if this is a continuous or a one-time job).

For example:
- finding out which miners to buy, factoring in the electricity rate, custom fees, shipping and handling, PSU's, looking for second hand miners,... About 2-3 hours???
- looking at the cabling, breakers, calculating the btu's for correct A/C... About 2-3 hours???
- setting up the room: impossible to say (does the room need to be cleared, does it need A/C, is the wiring OK, how about security,...)
