Miner Hosting/Collocation

[MrWan]

Hello All! 

Just wanted to gauge the interest of how many people would like see an easy hassle free set it and forget it hosting service.  Of course all your equipment will be covered by insurance.

Basically all you pay is a flat monthly fee, ship your equipment to me and i'll take care of your miners for you.  Of course you'll have it all set up for which pools to mine and i'll plug it in.  If ever you would like to stop the hosting we'll ship your equipment back. 

Purpose of this service are for those who currently pay high electricity rates and would like to mine to lower their monthly bills.  Also for those who don't want to deal with the noise.  Location is in the US.  Thanks!

Do you have any references or anything?  Will be tough for someone to just send a new member expensive gear to run.  One because you can dash off with it and next your setup and conditions the gear will be in.  Its a rough space to enter and with no information you will be hard pressed to find any customers

[MrWan]

You're absolutely right.  It's kind of tough how there are so many scams out there.  I have interacted with quite a few members who are seniors on here.  I'm just another entrepreneur trying to start a business help the community as a whole.  I believe that signing a contract and having a valid ID's would hopefully bridge the gap in trust.  Getting those first few customers will be hard but i hope there are other things i can do so that it doesn't seem like a blind leap in faith.  Would you have any suggestions on how i might be able to genuinely build up trust as a start up?

Great idea.....bad timing. Even at kwh rates of nil, there'll be no margin to cover your side of the take. You'd have to host 10,000 units to make any money.

of course there is huge demand I have big problem to find hosting. I think if you can find electricity for around 5 cents kw/h and charge $15 for asic $20 for gpu rig per month it would be OK maybe little bit more. But I know hosting who charge such fee and they make profit but their electricity rate is higher

Yah bitcoin has taken quite the beating lately.  Hopefully it'll go up soon.

Your having a "big problem" finding hosting because it's a terrible business model with unlimited risk. The only hosting facilities that can survive the risks of this market are those that mine themselves on a very large scale. Also, if you're hosting at .05 you won't get far. That's a terrible rate for that kind of overhead. Especially if you're just starting out and have not already recouped on some of your build out cost. But hey....have at it.
