I'm gauging interest in BitFury H-Board hosting.
This is an option for entry-level BitFury participation for only $450. No Minimum group size required - this is hosting, not a group buy.I have 1 August-delivery starter kit and 1 Oct-delivery H-Board on order. I'm at my limit for capital expenditure for BitFury so I'll have room to host 14 additional H-Boards.
At time of posting, there are still > 450 October delivery H-Boards available for North America:
http://megabigpower.com/shop/index.php?route=product/product&path=59&product_id=55Terms are negotiable right now; I'll finalize them after input in this thread. For now:
- Hosting with a Washington State Company founded in 2010
- Secure climate-controlled facility in commercial building; access limited to three people including OP
- Insured - we will obtain major-carrier loss insurance for hosted H-Boards (Insurance cost to be shared among customers; estimated at $50/yr for all 14 slots)
- Documentation - we will provide invoices, proof of payment, and terms in hard copy if desired
- $0.00/kwh for electricity
- Fee is 3% (0.03) of production of your board. All pool payments for the kit will be sent to a single BTC address to be disclosed to customers; we will take 3% and the rest will be distributed to customers,
1/16th of production 1/nth of production for each board they own, where n is the number of slots populated.
- Flexible conveyance:
- Order yourself, ship to yourself, then ship to us.
- Order yourself, have it shipped to us. (edit: <-- Preferred Method; Fee reduced to 2.8% of production)
- BTC Ordering! Pay us BTC and we'll buy an H-Board for you.
-
Custom Cooling and Power SolutionWe will be powering and cooling the kit and installed boards with a repurposed IBM BladeCenter chassis. This provides:
- Redundant 2000W power supplies (>160A 12V single rail)
- Redundant airflow (~300CFM per fan against 0.7in h20)
This is not our primary line of business, and we're not a hosting company. We are bitcoin users who want to see our BitFury chassis filled up and to cover our administrative costs in doing so.
Refunds: If you buy the board yourself, we won't take any money upfront - just the 3% of ongoing production. If we buy an H-Board for you after you send us BTC, we'll ship you the board if you decide to pull out of the deal. If BitFury(edit: or megabigpower) "never" ships (Doesn't ship before close of CC chargeback period) we'll try to get a refund from megabigpower and will turn to our CC company if that fails. You will be refunded _either the $ amount we are refunded or BTC equivalent based on rates from the day the funds hit our CC or bank acct_ according to your choice.
I'd like to get this going fast, so please leave your thoughts in this thread or PM me!
Thanks
