Not too bad then.
I once went on a coach trip from Orlando to Miami, which seemed to takes a very long time (forget how long now it was 10 years ago), but that is quite a bit further down than you.
You passed my house, we could have had a cider!!!

Try these guys…they might bite…
NYC of course. And to add characters.
I’ve already reached out to Mr. Nasty. I think it will be a hit.
Hey so over from the other thread can you just use a rtx 4060 ti?
Set pl to 100 watts ( sudo nvidia-smi -pl 100) and then replot nossd c15 or madmax c29 and you should be fine. You will get 2x rewards.
or sell them ig. It wont triple your electric bill or some shit
my 4060ti at 100 watt pl can do 1 plot in 2 mins on a nvme drive + 128gb ram. Double it if you have sub 128 gigs. That means I can get 700 plots per day or ~ 2x 18TB filled. I am doing this on a 4 core 3200g so the total system power sans drives is 200 watts.
watts / 1000 x 24 hours = kWh
kWh x power price = power / day
.2 x 24 = 12kWh
12 kWh x 0.15 = $1.80 / day while plotting
1.5PB = 1500TB = 83 hdds, lets say 84.
84 drives x 5 watts = 420 watts, lets up that to 800 for backplanes, fans, your rtx 4060 ti, etc.
19.2kWh, lets round up to 20 kWh while not plotting
So not plotting you use 20 kWh/day, while plotting you use 32 kWh/day
25965 plots at c14 (309/18TB) your looking at 10xch/m
10xch = $390
20 kWh x 30 = 600 kWh = $90
profit = $300
profit/kWh = 0.50/kWh (this is high tier fpga / NEW asic mining profit levels)
vs now
5 xch = $195
17.6 kWh (your 4060 ti is powerlimited to 100 watts) x 30 = 528 kWh = $79.20
profit = $110
profit/kWh = $0.21 (any gpu farm does this)
not a lot your not getting rich but it works.

All my 16Tb drives with 40k hours on them sold for 180 pounds on eBay (last one yesterday). So your expectations are a bit wrong, or prices in the US are way lower than what we have in europe.

Price’s are cheaper in the states, but often advertised without tax, I’ve no idea how that works.
I’ve always sold my old drives on eBay, for the simple reason I can achieve better prices than somewhere like here.
Last year I bought some 20TB drives from DSP, cost once imported was £230 each for three of them. Prior to shipping and import duties it was £175 each.

This is math I have of course computed
I’m just not good at selling stuff. Thus the drunken idea of a pyrotechnic display.
Give it away to a charity then, you’ll do some good and ultimately feel better than just destroying it.
I’ve sold old drives easily, as I’ve said before, but I’ve still got an old Dell T5810 that I’ve been unable to sell, I bought it in May 2021, then bought a T7910 in February 2022, here we are two years later and I still have the T5810 (its been up for sale a lot of that time), both purchased because of Chia.
Gold are NOT enterprise class.
The HGST and derived models are the WD Enterprise Class.
Model numbers starting in HUH and WUH.
Also overpriced for used drives - anything over 10/TB is CRAZY money, and you’re asking very close to NEW DRIVE pricing for used gear.
And why should we feel sorry for you that you “bought heavily into Chia”? Not OUR fault you decided to ignore the basic concept of Chia to “run what you already have” and “use your SPARE space”.

Yeah, that hurts. You got me.

I have, spent far too much, and still a very long way from a ROI, I should have just put it in the stock market in my pension! It is what it is though.
