Shades Minoco - A different type of mining company

problems resolved. Currently expanding our operation once more.
We will start taking preorders with set launch dates now for all contracts. This will provide faster access to our products as we can procure vital hardware at discount prices. PM for more info or email at Shakaru@ShadesMinoco.com
Also, due to a Hurricane, NY is browning out. If you have a contract hosted in NY from us, you will recive 1.5 hours per every hour you are offline.

I bought one of the 2Ghs contracts last week and just wanted to post about my experiences after the first week.

I am very pleased so far with everything. The company seems to be run by people who know what they are doing. I had some special requests for my contract and this was handled very well. When there have been some small problems I feel I have been compensated more than fairly. Shakaru has provided me with instant support through Skype which has been great. So far I can highly recommend these contracts to others.

This guy is a liar and a thief.

We made a deal,where I mailed him 3 brand new radeons, and he was to put them in a machine and give me the hashes for all three for a few months, then he gets one and I get two from then on.

Weeks passes with excuse after excuse.

I got a few days tops of hashes.

Everything has ceased and all polite communications (PMs on this forum where he is very busy) have gone completely ignored.

I have been completely ripped off.

DO NOT give this person your money or trust, he is a thief and a liar and is not to believed.

Yes this was alot of miscomunitcation on my part and also my failure to follow up due to both real world issues and pure arrogance. Pasian did send me 4 of this cards in exchange that 3 of them be run for 2-3 months for him. He thought this was acceptable. After a few weeks I went to check on the miners and watched one go dead and then had the whole rig drop. My home made 6pin y connector was fried along with the 1-16x adapter, and 1 16x lane and both the cards in it.
I have been seeing Mr. Pasians messages and unfortinately pass them by to come back to as I was dealing with time sensitive matters relating to my work here. I have already replied to Mr Pasian over this issue and have offered him a 6 month contract (3x the lenght of the origonal) in order to make this right. As you can see in the Shades Minoco mining post, Bitsinmyhead had a late start due to over heating issues, and I commpensated him with 1.5 time without a request for it.
I do admit I handled this situation poorly, but fully intend to right in a way that Mr. Paisan feels is acceptable.

It seems that some bad stuff went down in your personal life as well. Sorry to hear that. I'll accept that offer of 6 months, and consider the issue resolved if you deliver.

I thank you very much for your understanding. I will contact you in the morning for details. Desloc and I spoke earlier today about it and are moving some hardware around to compensate.

Have any 2 gh contracts yet? I think I saw you offering some in another thread.

great guy ++++++ met him in person to purchase some cards. LOL Very educated and is extremely helpful.

Are the 6 mth 2GHash/s contracts still available?What payment methods can you take?At present I can do moneybookers (for security reasosns),however I am open to negotiation (as long as it's not PayPal) on payment methods.

Is is possible to offer 4GHash/s for 3 months for me if needed?

Thanks

For right now, we are not taking new clients for the next few weeks. To socal location has a massive overhaul in the next few weeks and other hardware is going to NY too. If you are still interested, please shoot me an pm.

Right now we only have the above listed plans, but we will be offering more products in the weeks to come. Keep an look out.

So-Cal power out caused a breif disturbance in our output, but systems are starting to return online now. Made a few upgrades such as the creation of a 3 board, 18 card monster called Magi (First to figure out the refence and post correct answer gets 1btc).

6 rigs are still sitting in boxes with plans for tomorrow to get 3 online now that I know how to build the chasis quick and cheaply. Also found an way to get the power consumption down to 800w per 2ghs. Still working on getting the extra 40mhs I should be getting out if these cards without stability issues. Just a matter of creating a card specific profile and about 8 rigs are finished with that right now. Also hired some temp help around the place to help with rig construction and preforming the rounds during elevated daytime tempatures.

That is the SDM update report, we now return you back to your regularly schedualed programing.

Runs at 6020mhs right now. During luck it runs at 6400. Slowly over time I am phasing out the 5830s with 5870s. Should get me at 8-9ghs then. The current max speed of the garage is 22ghs (my friend swears it said 24ghs one day, I missed it) and once I get my 2 new 40amp lines in a matter of days, I will be around 30-35ghs and there is talks to bring online a new location too.

Operating at temporary speeds. While installing kvms on the machines in this location, one of the rigs caught fire. No joke. Sparks at first and then flame. Looks like the mobo to some good damage and have to test the cards 1 by 1 to see what happen to them. Result, everything is going into the bench cases. Nothing fell into the rig or was anyone near it, but with them in cases, they are constrained to 4 cards only and get good speeds that way.
Also. I need to hire someone for a few days to help with a setup and resolving some issues here. Will pay in btc or paypal. Need someone in the Southern California area, near LAX if you want to be local.
AND, buying psus. send pms.

Update for s@$%s n' giggles. So the motherboard that tried to kill me is offline, but. I tried it out for the hell of it, still works! There is a giant frame now where one was a chip below the cmos battery and above the pci slot on an msh 890fxa-gd70 and it will still mine for 5 cards with the first 16x slot out for issues.

Just gonna throw up a bump for shakaru, known him since the early days and he's a great guy. I used to sell mining contracts and the management can be a real handful so nice to see someone else taking it on.
