Mine at Jonny's Pool

It's nice to see one of the true cloud mining services showing their gear - and being considerably more transparent.  Unlike those ponzi scheme idiots who claim unrealistic numbers and disappear with your coin whenever they've hit their goals.  Too few genuine cloud mining providers out there... and too many scammers trying to rip people off.

Jonny's Pool - Mine with us and help us grow!  Support a pool that supports Bitcoin, not a hardware manufacturer's pockets!  No SPV cheats.  No empty blocks.

Very impressive. Anyone knows the difference between mining in Iceland and China (costs, environment)? I have friends in both countries and want to start a nice project Smiley

Very impressive, the final data room looks spectacular with all that stainless steel and Genesis Mining really did go that one step further with lifeinsideabitcoinmine.com
There's certainly only a few real cloud operations out and it's great to see efforts to clear the foggy air hovering around the cloud mining name.
Has anyone ever shipped into overseas co lo hosting in such places like Iceland or set up shop from scratch?

I want to know about their PSU they showed 18 connects (White Box).

They appear to actually be professionals, and not some kid that says they have mining.

I've done business in both Iceland and China.
I love both countries.
Initial investment amount is the key here.
Yet gun to my head, ceteris paribus, I'd choose Iceland for most large-scale mining endeavors.

I know Wink but I want to know renting and electricity costs of both countries Smiley

"You can google it, but even without googling it is obvious that renting and electricity costs are much lower in China" - that's what I was going to say, but then googled it and I was very surprised to see that electricity costs are lower in Iceland actually:

Iceland   5.54  US ¢/kWh

China          7.5 to 10.7  US ¢/kWh

Bitcoin mining has always been the most effective method of gaining bitcoins. All you need is proper hardware, proper and right investment. But, mining doesn't sound easy as you think.
Bitoin mines in Iceland, one of the most coldest places of the world are the toughest place for mining. They need to be extra careful about what they do. And one wrong step can be fatal.
They are doing all this risky thing for getting bitcoins.. Its their love towards bitcoins. Its their passion for bitcoins.. This is a perfect way to tell how much btc is loved even in such harsh places of the world.
