EDIT: Sorry, we are no longer accepting PayPal. Paypal destroys all that it touches and may have just done just that. More info later.
Shades Minoco - A different type of mining company
BTC transactions on hold - Our processor BitcoinExchange.CC has screwed us over once again. I will let people know when BTC will be acceptable again. In the meantime, I strongly urge people not to use BitcoinExchange.cc as they cannot be trusted to perform their promised duties.

I would like to take this time to thank all past clients of mine who have been with me from the very beginning. Your continued support has allowed my network to grow beyond my wildest dreams and I truely have to thank you for any success that I have.

With that said. I would also like to take this time to introduce a new joint mining contract company between long time forum member deslock and my self. We call ourselves.....

Shades Minoco

Why Shades Minoco? Well SHAkaru DESlock MINe Op COmpany. That and it sounded cool.

Quick Mining Contract FAQ

Q:Are mining contracts expensive?
A:Expensive is a relative term. For someome who has available PCIe slots and hardware, a mining contract may not be the most economical option for you. But for someone who has no Motherboard/PSU/HardDisk/GPU/Ram/CPU on hand or does not want to see their power bill spike, a mining contract is an great economical value.

Q:Where are the 3 month contracts?
A:At Shades Minoco, we do not offer a contract less than 6mo at a time.
If you look at the following link put together by McLovin, http://bit-coin-trading.com/forum/index.php?topic=128.0 , a 3 month 2ghs contract from our competitors will cost you between $900-975 for 3 months. We offer a 6 mo for less that that in total. So that is why.

Q:What payment options do you accept?
A:Currently we accept the following ONLY.

• BTC (preferred)
• Western Union
• Cash/MoneyOrder (In person ONLY)
  
• Paypal (Personal/Gift)

You may ask about alternate payment methods, but will most likely be denied.

Q:What is to stop you from turning off the miners after a few days and running with the money I payed you?
A:History and Experience. Between myself and deslock, we have over 1000 forum post in all parts of the forum, as well as great numbers of positive feedback from other traders and forum members alike.

Q:I woke up and all the miners have not been on all night?! What gives?!
A:LIES!!! Well, maybe not lies, but highly unlikely. We have an East Coast / West Coast thing going on here. If all your miners were off at one time, then by some act of god we have been both struck down thousands of miles apart at the same moment.

Q:Are you my daddy?
A:No.

Q:I payed for 1000mhs but deepbit says I am only getting 800mhs? Whats up?
A:Pools calculate your speed based on submitted shares. Sometimes the speed shows up higher or lower depending on luck in finding shares. But who would complain if the pool says they are getting 1200mhs anyways?

Q:A train leaving Seattle at 9:13pm PST is traveling eastbound at 75mph heading to New York. A second train leaving Vancouver heading west at aprox 60mph is set to depart at 8:30pm EST. At what point and time will the two trains pass each other?
A:At the point where you need to stop doing silly word equations and pick up a globe to pass geography.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me via this forum. I would be glad to answer any of your questions.

That name sounds Shady
But otherwise, looks nice

[film2240]

I can see the prices are very good (after working things out) but does anyone here have experience with this merchant?
Is this merchant reputable? Is the service good?Is the pricing competitive with all other services?Is this merchant open to negotiation regarding price and contract duration as well as payment methods (other than bitcoin)?

Thank you

Hi,

Would you offer 2 Ghash/s for 3 months, for $375?
6 months is a bit of a long period (who knows how will bitcoin look in two weeks? ), that's a bit too risky to me, but I like your rates and if everthing would go fine I would happily buy another 3 months after that.

P.S. Payment for the contract is paid upfront or monthly? I must admit that monthly would be a lot more convincing to me. ;-)

I'd like a 2GHash/s for 3 months contract as well as I wish to sample the services,also I'd like to start using a competively priced mining contract to supplement my mining abilities as well (400MHash/s on Radeon HD6950,I can't expand due to PSU/heat/budget limitations.)

Can payment be taken by MoneyBookers? I don't like PayPal's practices of what they do to sellers (which is let buyers file fraudlent chargebacks easilyand leaving the seller out of pocket and buyer keeps the product).I'd also like to show an interest in this service if the 3 months suggestion for 2GHash/s can be met? If hte length can't be less than 6 months that a discount can be applied for me as I'd be a first time buyer.

Thank you

Nope. People are buying years at a time. Why would I do that

Upfront payment only.

Moneybrokers? Nope. If you do not like paypal, you can use btc. Or Western Union.
Min contract is 6mo. Waiting list is 5 people deep with approx 2 month wait for more space that is not 2ghs that could go as long as 6 months.
2000 contracts can always be bought and activated within 48 hours (In the event of a further delay, you will be notified during setup and before payment.)
[/quote]

Its not that I want to be a dick, but I already an selling these contracts at the lowest price possible. If you look at the pricing, the % diff between my services and the next leading competitor is 900 for 2ghs for 3 months. You do notice that, yes?

Right now,

[malevolent]

How about 2 Ghash/s for 3 months, not for $375, which exavtly half of a 6 month contract would cost, but for, let's say $410?

Yes, we notice that, but 6 months is a heck of a time, I could pay a bit more, but for a shorter amount of time.
You also did not mention what uptime can you guarantee.


P.S. Just sent you a PM.

No. There are many other mining contract providers out there. Try them, I cannot help you.

[deslok]

Allow me to apologize and introduce myself I'm Deslok the eastern half of Shades.  After some discussion, we have decided to allow groups of people to purchase 2000+ contracts and divide them how they see fit. All you need to do is pool your funds, send us the worker info and presto!

I notice that the pricing is very competitive at the moment but I still expect a little extra discount since you'll effectively lock me into a 6mth contract for 2GHash/s.Is there a reason why you don't accept other payment methods?The ability to accept multiple payment methods without a fuss makes you a more attractive merchant to people like me and to others in business when negotiating contracts for important services.

I'd like to show an interest in the 2GHash/s for no more than 6 months.Can you provide anything larger than 2GHash/s no contract (as I'll be paying u large sums of money just for the extra power,I expect not to be locked in at all if this is the case,if I choose your services)

Can a trial of services be used before paying?As I wish to make sure that the workers (miners) can access my pool properly e.t.c

Dude. No. My space is full up. I will bring more online if you buy a contract listed above? You don't want a full term? Sell it to someone else? Find a buddy and split it. In fact, I'll make an exception.

NOW OFFERING 1 DAY CONTRACTS.
$1500usd or BTC per day. Buy a day, get a year free! (If sixflags can do it, so can I)

So yeah, that is my daily rate.

daily rate is 1500USD?sounds a lot higher than a 6month contract (2GH/s for $750).How much pwer can I get with the 1 day service?

Since you're now full,I guess I'll take my business elsewhere (sigh)
