Is it a good idea?
This is my dream. Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Utah would be the ideal states and maybe West Texas for maximum dirt cheap land. Make sure you have a good well though.
I forgot Nevada, it's fucking barren.
>Pic related
From my drive.
Why not Nevada?
>be a target for some Mexican gang
>get beheaded
Yeah good plan
are you sure about the part where you power a big mining operation with solar panels? are we at that point of efficiency yet? why doesnt everybody do it if thats the case?
It takes a while to reach ROI on the solar panels unless you live in the desert.
>Implying I won't be sitting in a rocking chair listening to Johnny cash and sipping whiskey with a double barrel aimed at the door.
Sorry amigos
nowafays i doubt you get any ROI at all. its not like mining is energy efficient, plus you said desert. cooling brah?
cooling + miners? in the desert? off solar panels? maybe in 2050 lol
Wyoming has no taxes on crypto, but the land is more expensive than you think. You'll need at some hefty startup cash to pull it off
>implying they just send 2 guys in
Initial costs.
A proper setup with decent batteries and control systems, rotational axis motors for panels, and everything else you need, will run a good 25-30k depending on how much power you need.
Of course you can sell the excess to power companies, or you have to, something like that there is a bunch of new laws about it every year.
Its doable, but user is severely under-quoting the pricing.
When you think about systems like this you have to take the price you are quoted from the company you plan to purchase from, and then add half of that to the price. You need some buffer in case something goes wrong / your battery shits out, panel gets hit with a rock, etc etc etc. Shit will go wrong eventually no matter how sure you are the system is solid.
Mining is another thing. To really optimize for a professional grade setup, its going to pricey, not just in equipment, but in code. Unless you are a programmer who has done work with automated systems like mining rigs, you are going to want to get someone to optimize it.
This. Kek.
>He doesn't know about the high altitude Sierra Nevada desert where the sun shines 357 days out of the year on average but due to the elevation it's cold most of the year.
All the miners will keep my nice and toasty in the high desert user.
I am starting to feel like northern Nevada is best for this

If you buy the shit off alibaba you can get a 6kW system delivered for somewhere in the 4K or 5k range. Then set it up yourself. Obviously I wouldn't bother with tracking at the start, just set up at an angle for the season and latitude. Is it an option?
Yes. I work on the satellite industry and solar pans still can output a considerable amount even without tracking.
Idk my thought for this specific situation, is if you are going to move to a desert, and set up a system, you want to optimize asap, so you can start chipping away at your ROI.
But no its not "necessary".
Unless you also get a job in the desert doing...... idk doing whatever you can in the desert I guess, then its going to be your only income.
Also, living in the desert is really nice, until you get bored. Take it from a guy who spent 3 years patrolling a desert: don't start drinking. Smoke pot if you need something to occupy your time, but alcohol + desert + time = misery.
What is the easiest way to know if a property has good well potential or not? Lots of junk boomer properties on landwatch where the seller obviously has not been to the property
Thanks. What are your thoughts on finding an old patented mine (worked, but still has minerals) and doing hard rock mining as the second gig?
If your way of cooling is to create constant airflow between the outside and the inside, it doesn't really matter what temperature it is outside, as long as it's not 50 degrees Celsius or something

ooooh nice
Hey fuckers you seems to forgot about INTERNET connection. How do you get it in a fucking desert?
>He doesn't know about Starlink
>is shit
nigger you might as well be on dial up
