Own a facility, host an MDU, or use all-in hosting
Owning a bitcoin mining facility, buying a Modular Datacenter Unit from GoGo Tech and hosting it on a GoGo Tech site, and all-in hosting are three different arrangements. They differ in what you own, who runs the site, and whether power is itemized.
Comparison
Three ways to run the miners
'Hydro' refers to liquid (water) cooling of the miners, not hydroelectric power. Fort Worth runs on ERCOT grid power.
| Topic | Own the facility | Buy an MDU and host it with GoGo Tech | All-in hosting |
|---|---|---|---|
| What you own | The facility and your miners, when you have bought the land, the power equipment, and the building. | The Modular Datacenter Unit. You buy it from GoGo Tech, and the unit is yours. The site stays with GoGo Tech. | This model prices hosting as one rate rather than a unit you buy from GoGo Tech. What else the contract transfers is up to that host. This site does not state another host's terms. |
| Capital | You fund the site: land, a power connection or your own generation, and the building, plus miners. GoGo Tech does not publish a price for building someone else's facility. | Air-cooled 1 MW MDUs are $500,000 each. Hydro-cooled 2 MW MDUs are $1,200,000 each. Hosting is billed after that on kilowatt-hours consumed. | Up-front amounts, if any, are set by that host. This site does not quote them. |
| Power | You procure power yourself. | Current rate: Power (pass-through) $0.035 / kWh + Ops fee $0.01 / kWh = $0.045 / kWh. The power line is the rate negotiated for the site, passed through without markup. The operations fee is fixed at $0.01/kWh. | One bundled rate. Power and the host's margin are not itemized. GoGo Tech does not quote an all-in rate. |
| Operations | Your staff and your systems. | GoGo Tech technicians deploy and service your miners. The operations software is included at no extra charge. | The host's staff, on that host's terms. This site does not describe another company's service. |
| Where it runs | A site you control. | GoGo Tech's North Dakota natural-gas sites for the air-cooled 1 MW MDU, or Fort Worth for the hydro-cooled 2 MW MDU. Fort Worth is a 30 MW hydro-cooled site: 12 MW available now and an 18 MW second phase, sold as 2 MW MDUs. No commercial-operation month has been set. | The host's facility. |
- Pass-through means the bill moves with the power rate. The $0.01/kWh operations fee does not.
- An all-in rate is a single number. The margin sits inside it, and the power cost is not shown as its own line.
- Owning the facility means you carry the site as well as the miners.
- This comparison does not forecast profit, and it does not quote any host other than GoGo Tech.
FAQ
What is the difference between owning a facility and hosting with GoGo Tech?
- If you own the facility, you procure the site, the power, and the staff. If you buy an MDU and host it with GoGo Tech, you own the Modular Datacenter Unit, and GoGo Tech deploys it on a GoGo Tech site. Hosting is the kilowatt-hours consumed, at pass-through power plus $0.01/kWh, with technicians and operations software included.
Do I own the MDU if GoGo Tech hosts it?
- Yes. You buy the Modular Datacenter Unit from GoGo Tech, and the unit is yours. The site, power procurement, deployment, and on-site technicians are what GoGo Tech provides.
What is all-in hosting?
- All-in hosting is a model that quotes one rate per kWh. That number bundles power, facility, labor, and the host's margin. The power cost is not itemized. GoGo Tech does not quote an all-in rate, and this site does not publish another host's price.
What is GoGo Tech's current hosting rate?
- Current rate: Power (pass-through) $0.035 / kWh + Ops fee $0.01 / kWh = $0.045 / kWh. Power is passed through without markup. The operations fee is $0.01/kWh and does not change with the power rate.
Which MDUs does GoGo Tech sell?
- Air-cooled 1 MW Modular Datacenter Units for North Dakota natural-gas sites: 340 slots, 3 panels, $500,000 each, any air-cooled miner. Hydro-cooled 2 MW MDUs for Fort Worth are $1,200,000 each. Fort Worth is a 30 MW hydro-cooled site: 12 MW available now and an 18 MW second phase, sold as 2 MW MDUs. No commercial-operation month has been set.
Who services miners hosted with GoGo Tech?
- GoGo Tech's on-site technicians deploy and service your miners. The operations software is included.
