Hi everyone, anybody know of anyone or can recommend anyone who provides a good solid contract service for renting their SHA256 mining rigs?
Any help is more than appreciated.

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

There are a bunch of different sites you can use if you're looking to rent some miners out.

Some examples are BetaRigs, NiceHash and MiningRigRentals. However if you're looking for a contract type service I'd recommend contacting NiceHash and asking about a contract. I think they'd be the best to organize a longer term contract (1-3 months) with.

The thing is I'm not actually looking to mine Bitcoin per say.. Do the above sites offer the option to choose which coin you mine depending on the details I provide them with?

You can mine whatever coin you want with your rental, as long as it's an SHA-256 coin (or whatever algorithm you decide to rent). You have full control over where the miners are pointed, and in my experience you can also decide to change where the miners are mining whenever you like during the rental time.

I don't know if NiceHash offers the feature of switching pools partway through a rental (although I suspect they do - it's a pretty standard feature) but they do offer pointing to a pool of your choice, so you aren't stuck with mining straight bitcoin.

I do know though that MiningRigRentals and BetaRigs both allow renters to mine anything SHA-256 that they want, and allow renters to change pool configurations partway through a rental.

Well that's excellent news. Thank you for your help Smiley

Although I don't see any pools which have this particular coin registered.. Unsure how I'd go about this :/
