Thanks ranlo, unfortunately I think 10.xxx.xxx.xxx ips are all local and could be located anywhere.

If I am wrong, please let me know what anyone finds.

From the FB Page:

Please don't let this be the source of the name:

This is the general gist from Facebook:

A bitcoinbountyhunter.com bounty has been placed for information and is awaiting approval.

The transaction from DataClub S.A. is the strongest independent lead.

The public BT Team is as pissed as anyone and they are going to release all the info they have ASAP. (Hopefully tomorrow).

Another domain may have surfaced. bitcoin_trader.biz (awaiting confirmation)

Michael Brandenburg seems to be the only person that says they have physically met "John Carley". 3 times.

Several international fraud agencies have been contacted.

The BTC addresses believed to be associated with BT look like funds are being mixed rapidly.

Hope this helps.

They have hardware orders at Alpha-T

Sysadmin might work for a Swedish IT company as his main job Their servers with Telia Sonera. Their mining equipment is supposidly hosted there as well.

Tigggger you are absolutely right. If profit is your motive. US or Asia is by far the best place to host your kit. Even hosted mining is getting more reasonable.

In the UK, not only do you have the VAT, CO2 Levy, insurance, rates, high data costs, high energy costs, cooling, getting enough power to a DC or Rack (most are built to single phase 7kW per 42U) where as I can potentially handle upto 50kW per rack with custom cooling solutions. It is not the best place for profit.

All of that said, if you like having your kit in a location you can visit, soon to be 100% renewable (fingers crossed) and globally distributed to better support the currencies including GPU/CPU based, my hope is this will be of interest but at this stage, I am completely open to all comment, suggestion and criticism. My main focus is to support the UK community the best I can.

Thanks again for you comments.
Chris

Thank you squall1066 for the great feedback. I could offer a closer billing method. Even Actual Usage/Monitoring per device. This would however add a setup charge or increase the per kWh cost slightly. At this stage I am open to any and all suggestions to see the viability and support UK mining.

Armin22: Have a look at: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=671475.0.
Feedback welcome.

I could potentially do a little better but would need more of a commitment from users or charge a setup fee. I would welcome any feedback or suggestions from the community as my main goal is to support independent miners, hence the more flexible terms.

Hi,

I have made some progress on this. Would welcome thoughts.

HI,

Hi All,

It has taken awhile but I may now be in a position to offer some space I have in a UK Data Center for mining hardware and would love some community reaction.

Features:
Tier 2 DC with redundant Power, Data.
Full cooling/dust removal/Cold aisle containment
Will host all AISCs and GPU based units (provided they fit in a rack/on a shelf). Watercooled considered.

2 Levels of service:

1: Send and Forget (Send me hardware and pool details. I take care of the rest.)
2: VPN access to your hardware at anytime (small setup cost)


Terms:
Min 1 year term with option to swap out during that period
6 months upfront then billing quarterly.
Billing to the nearest 0.5kw
Payment in GBP, Bitcoin or certain Alt Coins


At the moment prices are coming out around 33/34p per kwh inc VAT. While this is double the average UK supply and much more than international providers. I would be grateful to get any comments from UK miners to see if it is worth taking further due to the additional services provided.

Example: Spondoolies SP30 @ 2.5kW =  1825kWh per month = £620. Earning potential (Today's Diff/Luck from CoinWarz) = £2612 per month. Net: £1992

Kind Regards,
Chris

I am currently working on 64amps constant draw per rack. So around 14kw without an issue.

I have played with trying more, but heat then becomes the issue.

I am looking to offer this out of the midlands.

I am currently working on pricing but hope to be competitive with the various other outfits and manufacturers out there.

The current scope of the offering (to be finalized is):

Send and Forget:
You send us the hardware (or we arrange for fully insured collection. Hardware only, not income) and your pool details. You are charged by the amp/kw for usage.
User hardware is tested, configured and pointed at the pool(s) of your choice and we run it for you.

Remote Access:
Send us your hardware (or we collect). Your hardware will be installed on your own personal VLAN and we will provide VPN access to that VLAN.

Custom Solutions:
Want to solo mine? We can host your mining hardware and any additional hosts or wallets machines.

Additional Services:
We would host miners of all shapes and sizes (so long at they fit in a 19 inch rack). GPU miners welcome but air only (no water cooling). We could also provide VM/Cloud Servers to run any wallets etc..

Payment would be Bitcoin, Credit/Debit Cards, Bank Transfer. Other crypto currencies would be considered on a case by case basis.

IYFTech,

I started a thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=581206 to get a feel for interest. Feel free to comment on there or reach out to me re. the kind of thing you are hoping for.
