MiningStore fully managed 1 MW hosting opportunity! We have found a location, we will build the machines and you will save millions on machine and power costs. Only looking for serious investors who are interested in a large mining operation. We have manufactured thousands of GPU miners and are looking for larger operations. Please direct message if interested, serious inquires only.


In order to secure the large amount of infrastructure we are acquiring you will put $400,000 down to build out 1 MW of infrastructure two hours outside of Charlotte, NC that you will be able to use for three years. 1 MW of power will be able to host up to 750 of our GPU miners. The infrastructure will be ready for use within 4-5 months. We are then able to work with you on purchasing, manufacturing, deploying, and servicing your hardware into the space.  Once your hardware is running - we can manage your portfolio, replace and upgrade hardware to mitigate risk, and offer daily reports and recommendations. In exchange for you fronting the money for infrastructure we provide massive savings to you on hosting, mining, consulting, and management of your systems. This results in you mining more for less money.

Savings -

Hosting:

Instead of our standard $140 per month we lower the cost per unit to $100 per month.
That means you save

$75,000 PER month,

$900,000 PER year

And $2.7 million dollars over the course of three years.


Units:
Nexus Miners - https://miningstore.com/collections/mining-hardware/products/nexus

One at Retail: $5,600

750 Bulk Purchase: $5,200


That's a savings of $300,000 and at the end of the day you own the hardware.

These units will likely be purchased in waves, and can be purchased with crypto mined.

Happy to help! Here's some great documents on Casper by the way.

While both systems assume much greater profits if a cryptocurrency increases in value, it is indeed true that PoW currently produces larger returns than PoS. However, this change in return is by design. Staking requires much less energy, hardware, and other such overheads than mining-based protocols. These factors lead to the argument that the payout should be significantly less to reflect what you're actually putting in. As far as decentralized cryptocurrencies are concerned though, PoS has a long path ahead to reach broad public adoption. Ethereum's proposal for PoS, called Casper, is currently being tested on an alpha test-network. Casper has a long way to go before being implemented on the main network, and is also only a hybrid PoW/PoS solution. It's the belief of many in the mining community that given the current upwards trend in altcoins, mining will continue to be very profitable for quite some time. Additionally, when Ethereum does fully adopt PoS, miners have the ability to "dual mine" and diversify their portfolio. Our miners currently support dual mining Ether and ZCash, and setting up dual mining on your own rig is very easy with projects like Claymore and EthOS. Should you invest in mining now, you could easily convert over to another cryptocurrency when the time comes for Ethereum, and even use some of your profits to Stake simultaneously. Hope this helps, and let me know if you have any more questions!

Ultimately it largely depends on what cryptocurrencies you support and want to invest in. Ethereum has a lot of promising functionality for smart contracts and decentralized apps, therefore I'd be more likely to support and recommend GPU mining. As another user also mentioned, GPUs have the additional ability to be used for secondary tasks like gaming. Not to mention they hold a greater resale value.

Hey onedayImay,
You raise an excellent point which is that the crypto-community needs significantly more educators. Unfortunately, blockchain has a pretty steep learning curve. It would be great to see some high-quality educational content that attempts to explain more sophisticated cryptocurrency concepts and misconceptions to the general user. In the meantime, I know of a few resources that you might find helpful. Medium has a lot of great articles that try to simplify some newer concepts. See a few examples below:

What is a DAG?

Crypto 101

WTF Is the BlockChain?

This approach would make sense if you cannot assign static IP addresses on your home network. Just make sure you take proper precautions with open ports and move funds to cold storage when you can!

Cryptocurrencies are essentially ecosystems. In order for one to exist, it takes a series of coexisting components and faithful users. Wallets, miners, supply, demand, value, and so forth all have to come together and sustainably exist with each other. While mining new and exciting crypto-currencies could return larger profits, they're also more likely to implode. It really comes down to how aggressive you want to be. If you have reason to believe that a certain crypto-currency will succeed, you should mine some of it. However, if you're looking for sustainable and somewhat predictable profits, utilizing a more established market makes sense.


Typically speaking, markets such as CoinBase / Gdax will only support the large currencies. You'd have to rely on smaller alt-coin exchanges. Some of them might accept fiat <-> crypto, but a lot of them are crypto <-> crypto. You could always mine a cryptocurrency, exchange it for a popular currency like Ethereum, and exchange that on Coinbase / GDAX.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any more questions.

Hey robertefron19,
SIA definitely has a very promising technology and an increasingly optimistic community. I always advise that miners/investors partake in projects that they truly believe in. For the case of SIA, I find the technology very promising and rewarding. One option you might consider is dual mining Eth + Siacoin. This could be a great way to hedge your bets while deciding if Siacoin makes sense for your mining rig. After some testing, you could decide what to do full-time going forward. Dual mining is very simple to set up using EthOS. This guide is very helpful: https://medium.com/@stipe.kolovrat/dual-mining-ethereum-sia-with-nvidia-gpus-on-ethos-f7f7c8b14ff7

Hope that helps!

Hey Jacks.elmson,
I would highly recommend checking out EthOS, which is an open source operating system designed specifically for automated mining. EthOS automates a lot of the day-to-day work surrounding mining, and the system even generates fantastic analytics reports which you can view from the web. You can read more about it here: http://ethosdistro.com/. This guide will also show you how to overclock your GPUs on EthOS: https://www.cryptocompare.com/mining/guides/how-to-use-ethos-to-manage-your-ether-mining/. I hope this helps!

Glad to hear you resolved the problem! I figured it was probably a software configuration issue, and thanks for documenting it.

Hey Pat_tato,
Great question! The time miners spend tending to different operations largely depends upon the environment they've established for themselves. I'd highly recommend looking into projects such as ethOS, which automate a fair chunk of the mining process. with ethOS, you receive overheating protection, easy and automatic updates, web-based analytics reporting, and a lot more helpful features. It also allows you to mine multiple coins at once, which can help you hedge your bets and worry less about which cryptocurrency to support. It takes care of mostly everything, but you'll still have to decide for yourself when to sell, and how frequently to monitor prices. I hope this helps, and check out http://ethosdistro.com/!

Hey Gatenyo,
When it comes to storing Ripple you want to take into account the 20 XRP wallet activation fee. As a security measure, Ripple requires that 20 XRP be "deposited" to activate a wallet. While this is currently a steep measure, it's important to remember that the deposit was previously 50 XRP, and may be decreased in the future. For this reason, you're going to want a wallet that gives you full control over your private keys and allows you to access your funds on any device. If you have those, you can transfer the wallet over to another wallet later without paying a second deposit. Should you want to that is. Additionally, you might want to take into account that the Ledger Nano utilizes its own backup method, that isn't compatible with other wallets. If you plan on moving your funds there at a later date, you might want to wait and buy the XRP once you have it. There's currently not a ton of wallets that support Ripple, but I would recommend Toast. Toast is super simple to use and supports web, Android, iOS, and more. It's also open source. On the subject of exchanges, I honestly find it easier to buy Ethereum and changely / shapeshift it. The price isn't as good as some of the exchanges, but it's worth the lack of headaches. I hope this was helpful!

Hey cryptoiqtech,
I just wanted to provide a heads up to you or anyone else reading this. If you're storing an Ethereum wallet on your EC2 instance with Geth, Parity, or Pythereum it's critical that you disable your JSON-RPC port (default: 8545). If this port is left enabled, and your wallet is unlocked, anyone can steal your funds. I believe SmartCash disables JSON-RPC by default but you should always check! Additionally, while storing your wallet on a remote server can be convenient you should always backup your private keys on paper. It's unlikely that AWS will experience any data loss or downtime, but there's always the possibility of a single point of failure somewhere. Not to mention they legally own that data. Hope this information is helpful!
