Between me and my friend we ordered 3 Jupiters for November, recieved 2 in November and 1 on Dec 5th. All 100GHs+ over what we thought we had ordered.. Wondering how many GHs they will 'over-deliver' on the Neptunes?

It would actually be renting 1 whole stall, which can fit a full size SUV in it and still have working room to move around it. Very high ceiling also. Can probably get it for ~650.00 per month plus utilities. Its 1 of my best friends shop he owns. He is looking torwards retirement so he doesnt have a ton of work as it is. He would love to have the extra income as slow as he is, and he would even love it more to have a lease for longer time. So it wouldnt be a place id get rushed out of. There actually is windows on the side of stall where id be. Heck I even thought about the portable A/C units(A huge 1) to maybe use. The building is older so the insulation is terrible. He already told me id have to have insurance and have him on his policy etc so he is serious. Really thinking about doin this but id want to do it legit where nobody had to worry about scammage. Sucks that is so casual in the community of Bitcoin, makes the days of random Nigerian Princes contacting me seem glorious! lol. But another sweet thing is the garage is set up for heavy machinery so I wouldnt have the BS power issues some are facing.

Nice. Power and cooling are #1 IMHO. In the winter you can take advantage of the cold outside air to cool the beasts, and in the summer you may have to run the hardware a bit hotter, but most chips can run hot without harm. What I'm saying is that even if you can keep the average ambient temp to 24c or 25 you should still be ok. No need to go crazy and push it down to 18 or 19, or 20 as some people require or do in a more data center type of scenario. The key is to minimize costs as eventually mining will be a slicing margins type of game. Hey even if it looks a bit ghetto, as long as it works and it's secure go for it Smiley

But as far as offering hosting for other people I would recommend not doing that on a big scale. It's a support nightmare. Miners are 10x more anal about any downtime or issues. Any downtime and they are literally losing money. It's not like home internet where if it goes down for a few hours or 1 day you're stuck with forum or facebook withdrawal symptoms. Also if you do host for other people even on a small scale be careful what hardware you accept. Some hardware is just inherently more unstable or finicky - perfect example of this is bitfury gear. If someone has to physically handle the hardware ask yourself do you really want to do that at 3'o'clock in the morning.


Good points there! I guess im just thrilled to be a part of Bitcoin and ive been trying to get into actual business with it. All of the same nightmares I worry about hosting my own equipment would be compounded if it was not my Rigs running but actual clients. Wondering how much longer mining is even going to be realistic to the average Joe at home on standard electric setup etc...Anyways good talking to you allinvain!

Site is still legit !!! Got my coins, they did take a while as I mentioned from the last few posts. Sorry for the multiple replies, but if anything this just gives BTCrow more built up trust. I can say I would use again, shit happens sometimes, understandable. Thanks BTCrow for coming through.

It is good news, however I ran out of room to expand. I am in a mad search to find some place to rent to build a hosting facility.


Good luck finding a place man. I found a place to host actually at a former auto repair garage. Just dont know what I would do in the summer as there is no A/C just fans in the garage itself. If I could get by that I would gladly host for some people. Maybe I could start next year in fall and make enough coins to put in some real A/C before it got hot enough again. Anyways Cheers man!

Ok so I emailed the address I actually
Recieved original emails from and got a response 30mins later. Unsure if that was coincidence or not. Anyways I think its just a small error from site nothing more. Just get nervous with that much coin action floating in space. I will update soon as I hear something or receive coins. Btw it was same email as when buyer clicked ok to release funds only this time the exact amount was listed unlike the original email confirmation.

30  Economy / Services / Re: BTCrow.com - Bitcoin Escrow Service - For safer bitcoin transactions on: December 07, 2013, 02:49:19 AM

34  Economy / Computer hardware / Re: [WTS]KnC Jupiter 650GHs 12/5 Delivery on: December 04, 2013, 11:29:46 AM
Seasonic X1050 80 GOLD and im throwing that in also.....UPS showed up early as all hell today with stuff from finish line so they have not been on consistent schedule, but usually earlier than 200pm 90% of the time.
35  Economy / Computer hardware / Re: [WTS]KnC Jupiter 650GHs 12/5 Delivery on: December 04, 2013, 11:20:36 AM
Yes I have a Brand spanking new power supply. Dont do the 135pm flight back thats just gambling way too much! I guess I could end auction at 800pm EST for you. Or you can end it right now with 15.5BTC, its a half bitcoin gamble someone will bid more than you. BTCrow? Up to you as long as its verifiable. Guess we will see what happens in the next 14hrs. Cheers man
36  Economy / Computer hardware / Re: [WTS]KnC Jupiter 650GHs 12/5 Delivery on: December 04, 2013, 10:35:59 AM
So you put 1.5BTC in escrow, which will be returned to you once I've confirmed tx has happened?  I don't know how fast escrow works but I don't want the funds tied up.  We can give escrow my wallet so they can verify you made tx to me. Will be a wallet created just for this tx so it will cover you 100% for dispute of escrow.  So in short, you pay me the 15BTC when you get here and  send escrow tx confirmation to release. Id prefer using John K for this. If this sounds ok I will pm him to see if he can do it for us. Ok I just seen you posted again, so beings you want to arrive at 855am what time is return flights ? UPS can run late since its Xmas season. 
37  Economy / Computer hardware / Re: [WTS]KnC Jupiter 650GHs 12/5 Delivery on: December 04, 2013, 09:24:03 AM
Pretty much looks that way.....how do I know you arent going to be a "no show"? It will cost me a chunk of a BTC if I dont ship back out to next in line if you dont come through. Auction is still up though until 11:59pm EST, so that wouldnt give you 24hrs. Unsure how you can figure that out.

I would never loan or borrow from anyone on here, but I have to say I spend 90% of my time on forum reading these threads and laughing my ass off!! Mostly from the comments making fun of the OP.

November order 10103, received my tracking number today. States expected delivery Thursday 5, December.

Well im 20mins from CVG which is Cincinnati's airport. But someone has you outbid by a whole coin. Will be here THursday and UPS usually comes by here before 100pm EST. Sweetest offer is going to take it, im not going to leave it sitting unopened when it could be hashing away. So the sweeter the deal more chance I will close the auction before it actually arrives.
