[HOSTING] High Cacacity & Density Bitcoin ASIC Hosting

In what form to send the miner? completely assembled burnin miner or should they be built into a 19" case?

Built into the 19" would be best for speed of getting them hashing.  Or if you send the board and the parts with details instructions on how to mount them, I can mount them for you.   Either way works, I am pretty handy with tools and computer equipment.

Thanks... i think then its best to create everything before, test it so that it runs fine and ship so you can turn it on and it mines.

What about merged mining? Did your coder look into it and was able to create something? Maybe he should check out what markm did here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=224087.0 It might be useful to work on this. Maybe bringing it forward will help your pool and markm's code, so you help each other. Merged mining seems to me like the best opportunity to maximize the mining income at the moment without having to switch coins to mine every hour. Would be a nice plus.

Yep my engineer looking into.  We currently only primarily mine with pools that offer merged mining.   As long as its assembled and you can send me the drivers or what ever is needed to run the mining function.  I will test it and then get it hashing.

Nice.

What about GPU mining hosting? An update on that? (what if I were to send you, say, a parts shipment directly, with build instructions? )

Please PM me with the amount of hash total, how many machines and the PSU size for each box.   I need to calculate the amount of cooling they will need along with space requirements compared to how much hashing.   I will get an answer back soon.

Thanks,

Nope.  I am working on the website and it will be online soon.

huh...a lot more bitcoin mining operations up here in Washington than I thought. Although admittedly whoever those guys are seem to focus on Litecoin mining so I should have known. Anywho, I still don't have any hardware to host but hope to eventually so have been following this thread for a bit

ty ty!

If I only knew how to make BFL ship my Singles to your Hosting Facility instead of mine, I'd gladly join in.
It's just too hot in summer in this flat...

I contacted BFL support and they said it was OK! to change shipping address to the data-center DIRECTLY. Write an email to BFL support listing your order numbers and data center name and shipping information and they will send there.

Great news.   We just added more cooling today.  Demand is picking up.   Had 3 new inquiries in the last 12 hours.

Update to main post.

Can't wait for the site and more details - very interested - wondering if this is like most colos where I can still manage the miners software but you guys deal with power, network, security, etc...

It will be online soon.  I am going to work on it tonight, it is basically done.    Currently this is a fully managed service.   

Here are a few items that make it not like normal co-location:

1. Declining income from the mining hardware - discourages fixed fees over time as diff rises.

2. Steeper cooling requirements than normal data-centers - If you want your hardware to hash at the top-end and over-clocked you need additional cooling to run your ambient temperature lower.  I found as soon as I could bring it lower, all the hardware responding so much better it was like night & day.

3. Physical security - Once we have people getting our public IP addresses, then people can use techniques to try and ascertain the location of our facility.  We take security as one of the highest priorities and do not see the client get much benefit from putting this responsibility on them.  This hardware should be basically plug and hash if setup right with minimal customer interference.  Any downtime is reduced income for both the client and their hosting provider. 


I hope the gives you more insight into our thoughts on this currently.  With that said, over time as we get our location more built-out we will be looking into different options.   We may open another location that is setup for self-hosting specifically, it is something that is on our radar.

Interested in gpu hosting. Sent you a PM. Did not get a response yet...

Sorry about the delay.  At this point we need to use hosting space for ASIC only.  Litecoin miners are the only units we would consider.  With how fast difficulty is rising, it doesn't make sense to use our cooling to cool a GPU miner.  We would need to charge a fixed cost and it would be enough that it would not make sense for you to host with us.

a lot of bitcoiners in the area of wa - cheap electricity in certain areas of washington.
it's like mini silicone valley -

Yep.  It is the future.  Demand has been awesome.  Signed two more customers up today.   With this environment, miners will need all the help they can get.

Major update, we now carry insurance for mining hardware.
