CryptoBoreas - Canadian Bitcoin Mining Hosting (CLOSING DOWN!!)

[allinvain]

Update: We now have a bunch of available capacity available as we are phasing out S9s. If you have S17s or similar newer gen hardware to host send them our way.

I have sent you an email (through your website), but does this mean you are no longer accepting S9s from new customers? Or that you are phasing out your own equipment...

Correct on both fronts, no longer accepting S9s and phasing out own S9 farm as more efficient gear comes in.

If you contacted us via our website and you're interested in sending out newer gen gear then let's continue the conversation via e-mail.

Happy mining!

Hi!

We have some space to spare at the moment. E-mail us at sales [at] cryptoboreas.com with details such as the number and kind of miners you want to send to us. Miners go online 24 to 48 hours after we receive them. Current best price is $70 CAD on a 3 month pre-paid plan. Taxes are included in that price. The only thing is you have to pay to the Canadian Government the 5% import fee which is a one time fee when the miners enter the country.

Miners can be accessed online via remote desktop solutions like anydesk or teamviewer but we typically reserve this capability for our largest customers for obvious security reasons. For the most part you should not need to babysit the miners too much and any pool changes can be done by us.

Hope this answers all your questions.

Hi,

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundland-labrador/great-north-data-bankrupt-1.5383713

Does this affect you ?  Is this you ?

If its not you, maybe some nice space opening up you can do something with.

I am aware of that, but that is not us. We'd love to take over the space but at the moment we lack the financing required to pull off something like that. GND got initial funding from the government, we did it all ourselves with whatever little money we had. Also due to the various moves that GND pulled off the local politics are not very favorable for us miners.

It seems many miner hosting companies still to this day haven't learned their lesson. This space is sadly filled with bankrupcy after bankruptcy, and not to mention maleficence, incompetence, and greed.

Let's hope for the best.

We'll just keep on ticking as long as we can.

Happy mining!

It's been a long time since I posted but I just wanted to let everyone know that we're still around quietly supporting our customers and that we have available capacity to host your miners.

[Steamtyme]

Glad to hear it. I still send anyone asking about hosting your way. Now I know it hasn't been futile. Hope things have been good.

Thanks man, we appreciate the feedback and the recommendation! Things have been tough, small scale mining is kinda dead it seems. We're still in business but it is not like the "golden days" when most of the hardware in the shop was customer hardware.

Wonder if you have space available right now? I have sent an email yesterday.

Hi everyone. I regret to inform you all that we are planning to wind down this hosting business. As some of you may already know the era of the small miner is over. The game is now dominated by the mega miners. What makes it worse is that there is simply almost no interest from small miners to host their gear so the market has dried up.

It has been a fun ride and we thank all of you that have been our customer over the years.

Happy mining and best of luck to you all!

That's sad to see it made official. Like you said end of an era, and a rocky past few years for you to wether. Best of luck to you and your partner with your next venture.

[allinvain]

Thank you very much for the wishes! I'm not sure what I'll do next, but it may be something crypto related - maybe. Cheers and good luck to you as well!

You said well. The end of an era.
As I predicted, last year the banks entered and therefore BTC ended as we knew it. The end of decentralization. It takes a lot of capital to host and open a datacenter so the concept of decentralization is failing.
Best wishes!
