bleak. haha. I called the guy at at Musk Mining. He seemed pretty legit, but if you crunch the numbers the pay back periods aren't that great even when you freeze at todays price and difficulty.

I'm new to bitcoin mining. Looking to make an initial investment of about $10k with more to follow if things go well. My electricity costs at my house are not so great about $.15/kwh, so I'm looking for hosting solutions. When searching for a hosting company, almost all the websites look the same. I know quite a few can be scams. No one lists their prices on their website. Who are the reputable hosting companies? Are there review sites where people discuss their experiences?Is there a way for me to easily compare different hosting companies?

I'm in Austin Texas. It's definitely a plus if I can visit the facility and it's located in Texas.

Thank You in Advance!
