I would be, But to be honest, Pricing in the UK would be difficult to be competitive.
What I mean is, I have hosting of units in U.S.A, Damoh (India) and South korea, The most they pay is £0.075 P/KWh, In My house I pay £0.23 (medium of day/night rate) Then obviously charge a bit for hosting.
I would love to have some units close to me, I.E. same country. Pencil some ball park figures, I might bite.

well I might be interested to host some machines, but eventually it all comes down to the price you're charging.

I know that might seem a bit strange but if i go back to the management and say theres a market for this I'm going to get ask all sorts of questions. So lets try and get it right first time (if we can)

I would be interested if it is cheap enough and you can guarantee that someone is not going to just run off with my hardware (however I like how you linked a legit video of the place you work and looks pretty legit so far (Cryptocurrency enthusiasts in general tend to be very sceptical about scams etc.)).
I think remote access to your miner and some kind of remote support guy (that actually knows what he is doing) would be important too.
I am only looking to host 3 Antminer S1's, I'm not sure that is what you are looking at scale wise?
In response as for if there is a market for this, there definitely is if you can build yourself a trusted reputation with good customer service - If this were to happen I would definitely know people that might be interested.
I think your hardest part with selling this product to people will be getting yourself noticed.

Sorry, didn't mean to offend you about it being a scam etc. Personally I think this is very genuine attempt at something that could be pretty awesome, its just (as I am sure you know) there have been some pretty epic legit seeming scams in the past.
With pricing, it would be nice to pay on a monthly basis, but with some guarantee that the price is not suddenly going to hike up in 3 months time. Hope this is helpful.

no offence taken mate its all good i think the BIG thing is going to be the power cost what i would like to see is something like A fixed price for 3 months with at least 30 days notice of a change

it really depends on the price... I tried to mine in school, but apparently im running a 'sideline business' and hence im breaking the school policy. I was going to debate with the school about whether bitcoin is a legal currency in the uk or not but i just brought my miner back to hong kong.
If the price is right i might try it.

Hi first off very sorry for the lack of update I'm working nights at the moment so its a bit mad
now as for the meeting / hosting there have been no objections for Us to do this I have tout a plan of action together with what is required by department involved i.e.
networks security operations smart hands management
once i have all the information i will put a business case together and submit it to EU management.
this is not going to be a fast thing but its looks like it will go ahead.
I will keep this thread update as much as i can .

when i took my ant miners in to show them they freaked out a bit lol
but as most of us has S1 / KNC type miners its not a issue
i did say that if some one want us to host there ant miners then we can charge them for shelf space
but on the hole they think its a good idea
just need to make sure that i have all the information in the right place
