We have 140 new in box D3 units.  Couldnt find hosting under 7 cents kwh so we are selling at bitmain price.

Make an offer. 

We are looking to host around 120 D3 miners and we are willing to pay between 4-7 cents KWH depending on the deal.  Open to some sort of sharing agreement.

That is what we feel a good honest deal would be, same as it was in summer 2017 for most hosting facilities.

PM if interested.

So for one month of hosting you are asking for 140.00

If we do the maths, one s9 runs around 2k.  Add the power supply and its 2100 approx.  

If you charge 140.00 that equates to .15kwh.  At that point the math looks like this

http://www.mycryptobuddy.com/BitcoinMiningCalculator/path?hashrate=13.5&powerCost=0.15&power=1300&hardwareCost=2100&sellingProfile=expenses

We are assuming at 8% difficulty increase(as par for the course over the last 10 years) and a 1% pool fee, as well as selling coins necessary for paying electricity.

So per month at the current pricing(not taking into account bitcoin may go down to 3k)

So based on these numbers the hosting company would be making 140.00 per miner per month, and the miner would be making 68.00.

Also we are needing to take into account while the hosting company would be putting out an initial investment of time and money to get the space up and running, you would also have the appreciation of business to resell the company for profit or if there is another spike new equipment could be installed.  

So the numbers look like this.  1 year mining s9 at .15 cents turns a profit of negative 1950.

So if you would tell me why anyone would use the service at this price?  I would appreciate not speculating on the future cost of the coins, because we are mining for the present.  If we were to speculate on the future costs, then we could also assume just investing money into the coin for a speculative future gain.  And if thats considered it trumps mining

Just logged on to BTCalk and found this gem.  These guys are a real class act.  Fortunately, this guy can say whatever he wants here in bitcointalk land, but our signed contract and our lawyer, emails and texts of record, are not interested in that.  We filed a lawsuit this week in the Superior Court of Los Angeles.  We are taking this all the way to trial to represent everyone on here whos been scammed by a hosting company.

For those who use bittrex, they are cracking down on bots and constantly changing their API call limits.  See the message I received last week.  My account is still locked after 8 days.  They are not responding to messages.  I have a substantial amount on this exchange.


Your account has been flagged as using API-based trading with a low fill rate.  This means that you have a high percentage of cancelled orders relative to other API-based traders (i.e., you generate a lot of orders that are never matched).  As you know, we take very seriously the overall experience of our customers on our Exchange.  As such, we have removed your current API keys and we are asking that you limit the number of API calls you make to 30 per minute.  If you don’t adjust your trading strategy, we may ban your IP and close your account.
 
If you would like to continue to use your current strategy with new API keys on your account, please know that we will require you to agree to pay for each cancelled order a rate of 0.00001 BTC, if you maintain a fill rate below 5% over a one-week period. 
 
Once you have adjusted your API trading algorithm please enter a support request at https://support.bittrex.com to have your account Enabled for trading.

SCAM

THE OP might want to update the original post because i didnt realize it was a scam until I started researching.  Its very misleading first post.

Hey guys.

Just wanted to know if any members here were associated with coinbase.  I had transferred some money to them, and their bank says they have it but they will not release it.  Wire transfers have been and are usually 4 hours.  Mine is going on 7 days confirmed from their bank in their account.  Messages are being ignored.

Would there be any members you guys could refer me to that could help?  It would be much appreciated.

Scam.  Don't be nieve and do your own due diligence.  Everyone in the mining space knows whats really going on.

I tried out the bot based on a friends recommendation, unknowingly as it was the first bot I had ever used and wanted to see what it was all about.  Then they forced me to buy and use Rubycoin to pump it.  A day later bittrex halted my trading and froze my account.  I asked these guys about it and they immediately banned my account from their slack channel for asking the "wrong" questions.  I posted something here and it was immediately deleted from their bitcointalk forum post.  So id like to post this to let everyone who is new to bots know how that went down.  Buyer beware.  Here is an old post I found below regarding how they are making money from your account.

http://boards.4chan.org/biz/thread/5662800/traderdaddy-bot-scam

I looked more into a bot called Trader Daddy. You are required to trade at least .25 btc of the devs own coin on top of holding 500 rubycoin in reserve. His alias is fuzzyhobbit on his rubycoin.slack and he bans people for asking too many questions. I tracked the amount of BTC that was being traded and the bot does not reflect the actual amount in your bittrex account. It turns out that he is able to pump coins people are trading with his bot and he is able to pump and dump and make a spread on your trades.

Traderdaddy.com

How is this legal? Is he allowed to remain anounymous and shill this product? There is no contact information at all. He makes it look like you're safe by only giving the API code options of buy/sell only, but he just pumps and dumps for his own benefit. Fuck this guy fuzzyhobbit, stay away fro, Traderdaddy.

This is about TRADERDADDY

Its not good.  They make you buy rubycoin and they make you trade it and pump it on bittrex.  They made that mandatory on Jan 1st 2018 and bittrex immediately suspended many users accounts who were using it.  I asked some questions in their slack about how the ruby was being manipulated by this and I was immediately suspended from their form.  I also posted here in a forum and my post was immediately deleted from the ruby/traderdaddy thread.  

So what I have now is a frozen bittrex account that is holding funds and some devs who think its best to just delete the members who have questions about their software.

I mean, it was free so what did I expect.  I only tested it for 2 days.  But I would stay far away with support and issues like this.  They want to go to binance but the whole operation is fishy.

UPDATE: They no longer trade bittrex, they were suspended as a whole.  Gave the group the reason "we dont trust bittrex anymore"  Buyer beware.

Bylikes.

So these guys are scammers.  I delt with them.  They ask you to pay for the products and wait 2-3 weeks becuase they dont actually have the products in stock.

They take your money and then go out and try and source the products.  If they cant find them they just say "sorry we can make more money on these elsewhere, here is your refund"

So STAY AWAY from these guys.  They also will ask you to buy and launder bitcoin because they can sell it to Koreans for double the price on the market.

Current price, 4895.  Stock 170 units.
Take all price 3799.00 each Crypto.  3899 Paypal/Credit Card.

Why the high price?  

1. They make 8-10k per year with difficulty adjustment at the current price.  Price goes up, they make more.
2. Paid for them when bitcoin was 4000.00.  Bitcoin is now 10k, time cost adjustment.
3. No risk on your end sending bitcoin to bitmain.
4. Accept crypto and credit card, paypal payment.
5. Legitiment company with California Registered Corporation and online reviews.

Cheers

Its a scam. 

Anyone who has miners right now, especially s9s are asking a huge premium for them because they make between 8500-10k per year.  Which is not taking into account producing even more future revenue if the price of bitcoin keeps going up.   The risk that someone would need to take to send bitcoin overseas three months in advance while missing out on the opportunity to increase capital in bitcoin hodl is another reason why.

Our company started selling them here if you are interested, but you will pay a premium for the s9.  They have been selling quite well.

Also, I should add, we are still looking for hosting for 400 Miners.

Sounds like a Nigerian scam for you to send money. A lot of scams going around.

WARNING: DATACOM SPECIALISTS in Cincinnati OH

We had a terrible experience with them.  They promised to host and didnt actually have the building or the power(they lied about it all until Delivery day).  When our miners were delivered they said too bad, not our problem.  They wouldn't even pay for shipping the items back to us.  I would steer clear of them, I know they are actively pursuing customers on bitcointalk.  PM me for more details.

SOLD

Scam.

Dont fall for it, also dont fall for them asking to pay to ship separately. 

SOLD

It was their fault and responsibility, none of which they have made right to their customers.  You're kidding yourself if your best interests are in their minds.
