I recently bought the 25 S5's but my plans changed today. I am in the middle of a project that was going to require a lot of BM1384 chips and I will not be needing the chips anymore.  My plan was to run the S5's and in a month or two have them shipped to me and retrieve the chips.

They are hosted at CryptoBoreas with Allinvain - they are paid for a full 3 months at $47/kWh (actually I am waiting on the invoice but would settle it prior to transfer).  I do not wish to sell them without the hosting secondary to giving Allinvain my word that I would use the 15 kWh and I would lose money if I sold them without the hosting. 3 months of hosting at $47/kWh is $2000.  

I must say that I am extremely impressed with CryptoBoreas and their service.  I had 4 additional miners hosted with them and needed them shipped out.  I was contacted by them and they were shipped out within 24 hours.  I was even called by them while at the shipping facility to choose the service and told the shipping costs.

When I have had a dropped miner here and there it gets resolved extremely quickly.

I am asking $240 each on the S5's and $2000 for the hosting.  Total is $8000 in BTC and I would expect escrow with someone like OgNasty until miners are turned over to the new owner.  

If they do not sell, I am ok with it and I will not give them away.  I will accept reasonable offers.  I will prorate any usage on the contract.  I have owned them about 2 weeks and would expect that to lower the cost to about $7700

Thanks

I am not interested in breaking it up.  I would not expect Allinvain to handle 10 different accounts and would not ask him to do it.  Besides at $47/kW the rate cannot be beat.  I think it comes out to 6.5 cents per kWh

That's a good deal and AllinVain seems like a standup guy, so good deal to whomever gets this.

I don't have the caps, could only get 5 or so myself, if you were to break it up.

If you considering buying them but dont want to be hosted there, just keep in mind this:
Allinvain is a very stand up guy.. He always replies to pm's quickly even in late hours in canada.. His price/KWH is by far better than average, if not the best..
I have my miners there and i am very pleased with my choice..  Wink

Power supplies are rented actually. But if you want power supplies to go with these sure you can buy them right out - they're like around $55 CAD each - Artesyn 850 watt (server PSUs).

What's the price of the hosting for just one Antminer S5 ? I might be interested by purchasing one, if, of course price is interesting.

If you pay 3 months up front, then the price is 65 CAD/KWH.. Lets say an s5 consumes 600W.. So 65*0.6 = 39 CAD/month
Current rate is 39CAD = 27.57 USD
So 27.57*3= 82.71 USD (give or take) for 3 months..

Prices (at least for the hosting) look nice. However, would it be possible to negociate the price a little ? And where are they hosted ? In North America I think (I hope I'm wrong).

They are hosted in Canada and the price is negotiable

That's the same thing for me. But it's still possible that I'll take one of these. Can the hosting be paid by what the miners produces ?

You mean you wish to pay on a month-by-month basis? Yes it possible but the hosting fees goes up to $75 CAD per kw. No more discount.

Yeah that's it. However, fees are too high if I do this. The profit is near zero and I'll never see any ROI if the hosting fees are 75$ CAD/kW. I'll think about it.
