Title: Renting bare metal miners from a company (month to month)
Post by: promojo on September 04, 2014, 08:54:17 PM
Somewhat like IaaS (Infrastructure as a service) - Where you would pay a monthly fee to rent a unit (IE. Spondoolies SP30).  This would differ from "cloud based mining".  Essentially do a factory reset on the device and give the customer the management IP address/webconsole/ssh info and have them set it up to whatever pool they wish/etc. 

Thoughts?  Would you be interested in something like this?  Curious to find out....

Cheers

Some of the cloud mining companies let you buy your equipment and they host if for you (colocation).

Because of the current state of flux with the network growth no company is able to offer leases at a stable price since the bitcoins mined will keep decreasing each difficulty as long as there is network growth.

Hence they have decided to make contracts for longer periods of time - a contract is the same as a 3 month or 6 month lease is it not?

This is how our NinjaCloud works. You can lease for as little as one day up to six months, and you are given control over the miner.

I wouldn't say so.... most contracts you have no control over the device or pool/etc.

What sort of lease rates are they and for what hardware devices?  I couldn't find your website.

I used to use this thread.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=514758.0

this would be what he has now.

Type 4: Dragon 1.5T miner with hosted service: 1039$
http://www.easy2mine.com/goods.php?id=71
The miner will be hosted in our professional farm and we promise 99% uptime.

He expanded and was having some difficulties with his new data center.  Please read his thread to see if it has been working well.

These ninjas offer lease where they keep equipment!  Yous pay for device for up to six month then it goes dark like ninja steele it!

Also reads original offer they made sound like a buy.  Ands look at the mentions uptime guarentee and no proofs they have more then big buyer priority!  They hides!
