Who is DC Mining & Why Mine with Us?
By Tim Mandell and Crystal J. Milburn
Owned and operated by MDI Access out of Chicago, DC Mining is a crypto-miner hosting facility born out of crypto and mining investors who saw an opportunity to stand out in a sea of horror stories. We have extensive experience (> 30 years) in designing and building the world’s most prominent and mission-critical data centers and cryptocurrency infrastructures across the U.S., Canada, and Asia. Our humble brag is that we’re at one million square feet of data centers and counting.
But, all of the above isn’t enough to earn your trust. So, why trust us?
Unpopular Fact: Not If, But When Things Go Wrong
We’ve been around long enough to know the number one question is price. And while price should only ever be an issue in the absence of value, we’ll raise you quality and trust. The ugly truth that nobody wants to talk about is that things go wrong. Your machine malfunctions, the miner isn’t hashing at full rate or it goes completely down due to internet or power failures (more on our uptime guarantee below). You need to know where you are sending your $10,000+ piece of equipment and what happens when things go wrong. We offer miner monitoring, rapid miner deployment, and rapid response for repairs.
Site Selection: Air Quality + Direct Power Feed + 99% Uptime + Cybersecurity
It all starts with the perfect site selection. Our state-of-the-art facilities are free of dust and other intruders that will erode your machines over time. We move filtered air at a rate of 750,000 cfm ambient air movement, which means the building’s interior temperature is ideal. Our power supplier is MidAmerican energy, the best in the Midwest, which enables us to offer an uptime guarantee of 99%. It also means that your miners are being direct-fed power with a brand new feed on a separate power grid from major cities. They offer an emergency curtailment program, which brings peace of mind to our environmentally conscious hearts. Last but certainly not least, we offer redundant internet feeds, firewalls and network gear to further ensure consistent uptime and cybersecurity. The list goes on!
Midwest is Best: Location, Location, Location
Why does being Midwest-based matter in the mining world? Right out of the gate, your power costs are significantly lower than the rest of the country. Your miners stay cool without expensive cooling equipment. Plus, you have the advantage of being located outside of tornado alley and the Madrid fault line. Avoiding wind and earthquake damage adds another layer of safety and peace of mind to your mining efforts. Our Midwest values mean that we are down-to-earth and easy to work with. We’ll treat your equipment and your profits as though they were our own! Earning your trust is as important to us as keeping your miners up.
The bottom line is that there are many reasons our customers stay with us and it isn’t because we are the cheapest. Power and internet outages and defective machines cost you money so it won’t matter what you pay per kW if your uptime isn’t actually up. We ensure your equipment is up quickly and stays up, affordably. Not only that, we’ll actually return your calls. For more information, contact us.
