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..

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..

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).

So there is no way of just buying the miner itself ?

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.
