Does anyone have experience with Bit49 hosting service?

[bigboy61]

Hello there!

Does anyone have any experience with Bit49 hosting? I can get an Antminer S9 (16TH/s), a power supply, and 6 month prepaid hosting for $662. It's a 12 month contract so it's going to be $52 a month after the first 6 month prepaid contract. They have a location in the US, but this one is going to be in Russia. Here's a link to the site: https://bit49.io/ . Does anyone have any experience with this company? Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance for any insight!

look at Jeff Arndt's Curriculum, Do you really think he's a cryptos miner? Of course he is not.

is a Big red flag.

Seems like Bit49 also has an eBay page here (click for link) with 100% feedback apparently; I saw their eBay account a few months back and it seems they're still up and running so there's a possibility that they're legit, but if you do choose to buy anything from 'em, try doing so through a reversible payment method like PayPal (doesn't really matter with mining contracts though, as PayPal protection runs out after a certain time AFAIK). Not completely sure whether the site's a scam or not yet, but I would stay away from it unless proved otherwise. Best to stay safe.

It's not possible for the website to grow without having any presence on the forums, or Reddit. Stay away from this.

Don't focus on YouTube or any other social media site views, comments, likes, these can be bought, including the eBay feedbacks mentioned above.

I just have to answer this. For starters, I'm a crypto investor, yet professionally I'm a full time software engineer. I'm also a miner and run a mining business in my spare time. Heck, I know other people that mine as a side income. So when you say look at  Jeff Arndt's "Curriculum" and question whether he is mining or not is not something you know.

Secondly, WhoisGaurd is just a service provided by namecheap. It simply hides whois information which is a legitimate and safe thing to do. I've run domain name services for over a decade in the past and know the value of hiding your who-is information.

So you mean this website who offering mining hosting is legit? The website is actually built with WordPress and designed with Elementor and it looks like the website is not yet finish and unprofessional.

A legit business for me is not hiding their real location and information, unlike this website sample binance if you check them in whois their not hiding their identity because they are a true legit company. Look at the footer of the site no privacy policy, cookie policy, and TOS the site looks like an old landing page use only to promote directly. Check this website to the similarweb most of the traffic comes from direct sources so it means that also google doesn't want this website because it's not trusted and unprofessional(Not SEO optimized). The website is very slow and I'm sure the reviews are fake.

Look at the old archive of this website from here https://web.archive.org/web/20180902024938/https://bit49.io/
Does it look like a small shop selling graphics card and there is an eBay affiliate link? So possible that this website just redesigns and offers mining hosting instead.

So, for me, I'm sure that this website is not legit 100%.

In all honesty, I'm glad you are trying to change my mind... I was planning to host 10 of my S9's with these guys next month. They have a legitimate LLC formed in Delaware. They have a location in Colorado and in Russia as far as I was told. They also ask for you to accept cookies when you enter their site but that's not too important to me at the moment.

I'm listening to anything you guys might say. I know their website is not only somewhat unprofessional, but flat out wrong in some places.

I don't want to host with a company that isn't legit. I've got too much invested and also have several S17's on the way. From my research and correspondence with them, they appear to be legit but you never know. They have been slow to respond in some cases and I have been wondering why they don't have someone else answering emails when someone is on vacation for a week, which also happened to me.

Change my mind folks! And please give me an alternative place where I can co-locate some miners. My farm in my house can only handle so much...

I am hosting S9 with them in Russia from their start. When bought miners the cost was 135 usd per S9 - it was great price. They had problems with miners at the start - i mean the miner were crashing often. In the last 2 -3 months everything is perfect. I agree their site is stupid but they are absolutely not scam at least for now. I had very bad experience dealing with russians in crypto sphere - bit49 is using data center in Russia so this is a little disturbing but for now the thing are good with them. Unfortunately the price per S9 now is 520 usd only for miner but the electricity cost is unbeatable

If i had miners in USA i would choose teslawatt.com, if i had to buy new miners - second hand - i would choose bit49. bit49 compensated me for some downtime with 3 x S9 miners for at least a month.
There is one thing i dont like in bit49 - you have no access to miners.

It is better to save your fund than to be a victim of fake company. The responses form "Slow death and Bitmaxy" is enough red flag to stay cautioned. The company is in US and Russia and your domain registration is in Panama. would legit company be hiding its location?

[bL4nkcode]

The company is in US and Russia and your domain registration is in Panama. would legit company be hiding its location?

That's the work of whoisguard, every registration detail is replaced. So you don't have to rely on this information.

Now, by visiting the site, all I can say is an unprofessional website with random claims.

[yo_mama]

Bit49 is offering S9 host for only $330-375 equipment plus $40-48 monthly cost. Host location is in Russia.

I just wonder the same.

Their website has been redesigned and looks bad. Some ppl had bad experience with hosting in Russia.

Is there any new information input? More info is better.

[yo_mama]

I asked them a few questions about the quote and they haven't replied to me after a week.

FWIW I bought a bit49 ASIC miner on eBay with hosting at their Russia facility. It just went online today. Took about 2 months. Great timing, though

I'm not a floating head in a jar that bit49 pays. Feel free to hit me up and chat more on telegram @paulmoliva2. I will update this post if anything changes or my miners go offline.

Edit: while I paid for a 16 TH/s device, it looks like that device was running for a couple days, but then hashrate dropped down to 11 TH/s. So maybe stay away from them until this gets resolved.

Edit 2: I raised my concerns to the guy I usually talk to at bit49 and they promptly resolved the issue. My other 2 ASICs are also online now.

Edit 3: 10/15/2019 and all is still well!
