Mining is becoming more centralized each and every day, long gone the days when one could buy commodity hardware and mine with it without having to fight with the hardware producers for the same coins!



This! ... I hate the fact this is happening and you nailed it... so many dont get this very simple fact =(

Yep, I am seeing this too.  Farms are getting larger and more centralized.

This is likely the worst idea I've ever seen on these forums, and this place is full of bad ideas.

Ditto.  Bad precedent.

Large farms mostly.  All my new clients are getting bigger with the amount of gear they are throwing at this.

Are mining devices included in this cost ?

I wish.  It is BYOM (Bring Your Own Miner).   With that said, I do have channels I could use to see if I could acquire units for clients.

Crazy shit:



Wow I hate to say this.. but the owner of silkroad is an idiot..

And a murderer. We don't need murderers paying for "clean" or "un-clean" hits in BTC. What a piece of shit.

As many stated here, the fact he was caught is a good thing.

I second and third and whatever else this comment.  If this is true, his is a piece of shit and he will deserve whatever they throw at him.  He gives humans in general a bad name.  I so hope this is not true, people are not "things" you "take care of"

Statement to Mining Community


This a is a fully managed hosting service to co-location your ASIC Bitcoin mining gear.  All our hardware in now INSURED.  Major news for Bitcoin miners.  Now you can rest easy when your hardware is hosted with us.  We have a specialized insurance policy that is geared towards technology companies.  As difficulty rises rapidly, people with much higher power & operating costs will be put into an untenable position with their costs possibly exceeding their mining income.  This is where our ASIC hosting comes in.  We host monthly with no contract.   Customers that pre-pay 3 or 6 months in advance will qualify for a 10% or 15% discount respectively.   We also accept USD or BTC as payment, we want to respect the miner who wants to hold on to their hard-mined coins.

We have 0.02/Kwh electricity rates which is some of the cheapest on the planet.  The hosting facility has secured access with alarm.   We just complete a full round up electrical & cooling upgrades.  My support team which includes a two Linux network engineers with over 35 years experience.  We have a fiber internet connection with multi-path for redundancy.   Fixed cages are installed to physically secure the equipment.


What I am looking for now:

PM me your email address and I will send over our hosting agreement.  We also have a referral program if you know someone who would benefit from ASIC hosting.


Final note:  We also almost have our own pool ready that will be just for our hosting clients along with my personal hardware and an arrangement with another miner.   This will be of great benefit.

Oh good, I had the same reaction as Dalkore when I saw the pic Smiley

I don't quite get the fear of having the location of the hosting facility be known, except for the fact that it's being done on such a shoestring budget that it'll likely be left unattended for long periods of time, which is far from optimal. I'd be more concerned with sending valuable equipment to someone without knowing who they are or where the equipment will be located; maybe that's for security sake, but if the information that johnk has is available to any customer, you'd have to assume an interested adversary would get it too , by simply inquiring as if they are a customer or placing an actual order to have equipment hosted.

All that said, what is the staffing situation? What if someone needs remote hands? How will 2 people be able to respond 24/7? Are you aboth light sleepers, or located that far apart geographically that we can count on one if you being awake. And lastly,  what spawned this was security; given that the location will become known eventually, what is the security situation? If none, can you at least share how isolated it is from facilities with people present all night? Not like it's their responsibility, but just for the hope they could call the police if say, a moving truck pulled up front at 3 in the morning.

Knowing about the company, officers and other basic and important details is one thing and I make sure all my clients have these and I am certain Bob is doing the same.  Having information public on the ACTUAL location of the equipment is a bad idea.  People have different moralities and there are people who would not think twice about stealing property.   Like Bob, our customer's equipment well being is of our upmost concern and it would be irresponsible to give that information away.

As of 1:16pm PST all miner went to failover pools again.   The pressure on the servers continues.  I'll check back for updates.

I confirm.  My failover on all units have kicked in.

Still attempting to contact Joe at this point. No returns to emails, phone calls, texts, 800 number on his website, support tickets, anything. Last login is still Sept. 14th which is the last contact I had with him after I didn't offer to co-sign on a new lease for him.

Is there anyone in the Seattle area that would be willing to go check at this address and see if he's still there or long gone?

Joseph Councilman
8428 17th Ave SW
Seattle, WA 98106

I'm really hoping he just freaked out, shut down, and has begun to ship back parts along with an explanation letter or something. I know for a fact that he just recently got 50BTC in funding from an investor (not me) and then shut everything down a week later. I have copies of his license and him holding the signed contract as well. He may be gone from the above address, but I have enough to go after him if need be. He'll have to turn up somewhere on a new lease, and then his name will pop up in a people finder website. You do NOT steal ~$15k from me.

I will swing by this address.  I need someone to send me his picture.  What is the list of hardware that the clients have offline right now?

Guaranteed profit are always red flag in my opinion. There is no such thing as a risk-less profit and especially when we are talking about mining.  In the method you could try and start a ponzi type system buy getting early investors to get others to join because they got paid free profits in their mind.   

I hope I am wrong.  Please tell us why this isn't the case.  You make a very big claim here.

Yeah thats what I thought, but I was told otherwise. Not directly by the power corp though (it is a monopoly here, Nova Scotia Power) so maybe the guy who told me didn't really actually know what he was on about afterall.

-MarkM-


It would look like he is incorrect.  Residential customers may be partially subsidized but they still pay more per kWh.  Then again with residential rates @ $15 per kWh in the long run it is unlikely they will be profitable.  Even leasing warehouse space to get large commercial rates wouldn't make much sense as they are still $0.09 per kWh.  There are parts of the US where large commercial power users pay <$0.03 per kWh.

Ahem, did someone say cheap power? Smiley   We are actually getting our first KNC units really soon (hopefully).   I can't wait to check them out.
