For DIY hosting you may mine on whatever pool you like, so yes that is fine. Smiley

Well.. my team is MIA I wasn't expecting these to come in today, I had told them to come tomorrow. I'm still chugging along but it will take me longer than I had planned. I still hope to have everything running tonight, but please bear with me. When setting up this large of a farm, we need to plan for future expansion.

My goals for tonight are:
1. Get at least 49 Gridseeds running on 1 Pi
2. Get 88 Gridseeds and their USB hubs running on one ATX power supply
3. Get all hosted units up and running stable.

All customers that decided to take delivery of their equipment, your stuff will ship out tomorrow via 2-3 day USPS Priority tomorrow. Smiley

I've got a busy night ahead of me, 112 hosted units to set up.. better get to it.

Thanks

FYI: Your site doesn't appear to work in Firefox (Chrome works fine):

Secure Connection Failed

An error occurred during a connection to www.smarthashing.us. The OCSP server suggests trying again later. (Error code: sec_error_ocsp_try_server_later)

The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.

The website works in Firefox, although I have seen that error from time to time too. I think it is an issue with Godaddy.. it doesn't happen very often but it does sometimes. Just refresh the page a little later and it fixes itself. Sorry about that.

Batch 1 received a day earlier than expected! Grin Smiley Cool

We'll be super busy tonight, but will try to post pics later. We have a team of 3 helping with everything, so I hope we won't have many issues. There is a lot to do though, if we can have all 100+ Gridseeds running stable by the end of the night, then it will be a good day!

Can Batch 1 participants suggest a pool you want to use? There is only 1 requirement for us as far as what pool to use.. is that the pool use a Bitcoin address for the user name. That way we can operate as transparently as possible. My initial thoughts were to use (how ironic) clever mining. Cheesy

What do you guys think?

if ordered today, when will units ship?

Hi,

If you were to order today, your order will likely be delivered to you mid to late next week. This depends on several factors, but shipping from china is usually 3 to 5 business days to get to us, then we need to forward it to you via 3 to 5 day USPS priority mail. We can ship express if you would like to cover the added expense. Another thing to consider is this is pretty much a group buy, but in the form of a web store and we are ordering in batches. Your batch will need to fill up before we can order, but the current minimum batch size is only 20 units, so it likely won't take long to fill up. There are already 6 units ordered in the current batch.

Thanks!

For those of you waiting on me to open back up orders, I am planning on opening that back up tonight or tomorrow with new pricing so stay tuned. Smiley

I'm planning on placing an order at the end of the week.. I know of several people waiting so I think we will have another batch by then no problem.

Thanks

Hello Will.
I see you've been a busy mining hoster in preparation Wink

What is the big announcement?

Wolfey2014


Surprise!

Grand Opening!

smarthashing.us

We are excited that it is finally time to announce Smart Hashing to the world! Although we are a new company, we are anything but new. Smart Hashing’s founder William Connatser is also president of CryptoVest, a physical cryptocoin company specifically known for making Physical Litecoins. He has been operating large mining farms for over two years now since initially getting into Bitcoin and Litecoin. William, also known as CoinHoarder online, was a pioneer in group buying on the Bitcointalk forums, putting together one of the biggest group buys to date for Batch 3 Avalons and raising more than 722 Bitcoins just in a couple weeks! This group buy was the first one of its kind for Bitcoin mining ASIC hardware. We think it is safe to say that he started quite a trend! Group buys have become so popular that a subforum was created in the Custom Hardware section of Bitcointalk.org to hold them all! Before operating several group buys, William also setup and operated a large GPU farm that was pushing upwards of 16 Mh back in late 2012! Ever since getting his first mining rig, he has been very active within the Bitcoin and Litecoin community. For over a year William’s been gaining experience planning, setting up, and operating group buys mostly off Bitcointalk forums and his own private forums. A couple weeks ago after getting back into group buying, Williwam decided he would improve his hosting service and mining sales service into a more professional operation.

In an effort to stay competitive, provide the best customer experience as possible, and offer a more professional sevice, William has now formed Smart Hashers to conduct his hosting and mining sales business. William is starting to take his businesses more seriously and is hiring one full time manager and a part time network administrator to help him run the hosted equipment and help with customer service for Cryptovest. There is a lot of work to be done in between doing sales, testing, packaging and delivery, and offering hosting services. We hope that by adding people to the team, everyone receives a better experience all around both us as administrators of the company (William will have some free time again!) William has gone on record as being dmittedly bad about checking CryptoVest’s email in the past. Basically he is working full time along with running two businesses and he needs help! This will end once and for all and today we are turning over a new leaf.. starting a new chapter if you will. Thank you to all that have helped us get to where we are today. We only ask that you continue to let us serve you by offering you sweet deals and exemplary mining equipment hosting!

All Gridseed mining equipment in our web shop is currently a 3 to 5 day long pre-order and there are only accessories and ATX power cables in stock at the moment for Scrypt mode only. Dual mode mining cables are coming, but due to ineffeciencies Dual mining is not allowed on hosted units at this time. We will let you know when that changes. There will be a small fee for us to switch out the power cables for dual mining to Scrypt mining and visa versa due to the time it takes to do it. We are looking into turning this into a truly innovative hosted mining experience. We have negotiated a sweet deal with a large supplier that is buying 1000s of units from Gridseed every week to supply us. They have afforded us the pleasure of buying in small quantities, but with steep discounts. Due to the fact that we can order in smaller quantities, we can order batches more frequently, thus making delivery to the customer even quicker than waiting for a big batch to fill! Typically packages are delivered in 3 to 5 business days to the USA from China, so our customers don’t have to wait long and that makes us happy! Setting up this partnership is instrumental in Smart Hashing having competitive pricing, because we want to save our customers as much as possible and want them to feel like they got a good deal. When our customers are happy, we are happy! We are not charging a huge mark up, a medium mark up, or even a small mark up! Our mark up is tiny compared to some other distributors and we hope that you appreciate that!

It is Williams’s goal that his companies improve and expand throughout the rest of this year while making customers happy and meeting some good friends along the way. There is nothing more than he loves setting up, troubleshooting, and hosting mining equipment, so he is determined to make this a success! A new website with a lot of new features is in the works. You will likely be able to change your payment address, automatically notify us when you’d like to sell your hosted equipment, see the farm hash rate and worker break down, and even keep a record your payout information also! This will definitely be a step up from the forum-based company William and his clients are used to him running, and we are excited to help this company grow and help our customers save a buck. Although Smart Hashing doesn’t have a huge wad of cash that some of the larger distributors do, we are still selling at as competitive a price as the larger distributors!!! Even though our prices may be slightly higher than some of the cheapest companies in this space, they are selling at a similar price as us but buying the units for much cheaper and making a killing doing so. They are making much more money than most group buy operators, and are snuffing out the competition by doing things that are economically infeasible to do for a smaller businesses like ourselves. We aren’t going to lay down and let them put us out of our misery just yet though! We are putting our foot down and we won’t let guys with big stacks of cash take over what has traditionally been done by individuals and mom and pop type operations on the forums. We love our small businesses here at CryptoVest and Smart Hashing! Feel free to reach out to us if there is any way we could help you! We are very much interested in cooperating for the better of the community!

Smart Hashing will only source mining equipment from companies that have them in stock and can ship them promptly. We will stay away from month to year long pre-orders. Extended pre-orders puts consumers at a disadvantage because they do not know when they will receive the unit and how profitable it will be by the time they get it. In stock mining equipment allows for easier decision making based on something more than a lot of assumptions and an overly optimistic development time line. We at Smart Hashing recommend you stay away from  extended pre-orders, it doesn’t take but getting stung once to learn your lesson. We hope you don’t learn the hard way! Stick with us and you won’t be left scratching your head 6 months later wondering where your gear is with pitch forks and torches on Bitcointalk ready to start a riot!

All joking aside, if there is anything we can do then please do not hesitate to email us at support@smarthashing.us and we will get back to you at our soonest convenience! Thanks for your continued support and we’re excited to start this new journey together with you!

The Smart Hashing Team

PS: All Batch 1 participants will pay the new sale price and be refunded the difference. This sale only lasts through the end of the week, as we are hardly making postage! All shipping is included in our prices!
