WTS: 2x Hosted Antminer S2 (upgraded & overclocked)

[graymatter]

Hello, we are a hosting service provider who service several bitcoin miners in the Phoenix, AZ area.  We are expanding our operations and have decided to sell several miners from our own farm to help facilitate this growth.

Part of our expansion includes offering VPN access as well as the ability to remotely power cycle individual miners via a switched PDU.  These options will be made available to the buyer when they become available.

Currently for sale are 2x Bitmain AntMiner S2 each upgraded with an EVGA 1300w power supply.  Both are overclocked and run just over 1100gh/s.  Miners come with an included 6 months of managed hosting at http://www.nextfort.com/.  Miners will be shipped to the buyers address free of charge (CONUS) upon completion of the 6 month hosting contract with original 1000w PSU installed.

A quick breakdown of the costs shows you we're not trying to scam anyone.
Ant S2 @ current bitmain price + $1,790
bitmain cupon - $400
EVGA 1300w PSU upgrade for the term of the contract - free!
6 months hosting @ $15/100w/mo (miner pulls 1200w) + $1080

Total price - 2,470 ea.

Since these miners are already set up there is no setup fee.  Buyer pool information will be set as soon as payment is received.  Reasonable offers will be considered.  I will adjust the price as bitmain adjusts the price of their S2s.

Additionally, if anyone is interested in hosting their miners with us the same hosting rates apply.  Contact for a personalized price quote.

Both still available, added some more detail to the hosting cost, free shipping (CONUS) upon hosting contract completion.

Between now and 6 months from now when the contract ends, each of these will have mined around 2.5 to 2.75 bitcoins, give or take, and will have almost nothing left (maybe .5bitcoins if you run it until the end of time which you can't do because of electricity costs).  And for that you are charging 5.25ish bitcoins.  Now, maybe your prices are competitive, whatever that means, but obviously paying 5.25BTC now to get 2.5BTC later is a bad deal.  So with that said, I'll offer 2BTC.

Although your hosted miners are overpriced, I felt the need to give you a free bump for having an amazing hosting facility! Wish you guys were located near me as I'd totally host my miners with you.

A quick google search shows that the NextFort company is real (try it for yourself). However, if I understood the OP correctly he is merely a individual/company who will be buying hosting with NextFort on your behalf. So burden of trust rests with the OP.

Allinvain is correct, we are a managed hosting company who partner with the datacenter.  Nextfort is very real and really is an amazing new unconventional data center. 

Naturally i lead with a more or less retail price to see if anyone bites but im open to offers.  If someone was considering buying one of these from bitmain right now this is what it would cost them and they wouldn't get the benefit of an immediate deployment.  Hosting wither at your home or another data center is still going to cost money which i feel our prices are competitive with.  With vpn access and remote power switching its as close to having the unit on site as you can get.

We will provide legal hosting contract for the buyer and a bill of sale.  We are legit and will prove it to any interested buyer.  Ill grab actual pictures of the units and racks this week when i stop in to upgrade one of our other S2s.

Im updating the OP stating that the upgraded power supply and overclocking is complimentary for the term of the contract.  The unit will have its original 1000w PSU installed before it is shipped to its owner.

Right, your asking price is still roughly twice as many BTC as these things will ever mine.

Updated to include the discount of a bitmain $400 coupon.

Well right now  no miner on the market will Roi in btc.


First all of the below  is  for USA lawful miners.


So the questions are does a buyer want to buy and hold coins. Hoping for the  coin price to go up.  Thus making a passive investment.  That is subject to one set of tax laws.

Does he want to mine in house hoping for the coin price to go up.    Thus subject to different tax laws.

Or does he want to hire someone  like the op and be subject to a third set of tax laws. Still hoping for btc to go up in price.

Notice all  moves only work if btc goes up in price.

That isn't true at all.  OP is selling these things, he owns them, he can sell them for whatever price he wants, including one that ROIs.  If he wants to. 
Taxes have nothing to do with it.  Spending 4.11 BTC now to get 2.5 BTC later is simply not a good deal, no matter how you want to fudge the numbers. 

Anyways, I'll stop cluttering up the sale thread.  OP, if you are willing to sell these things for less BTC than they will generate in their lifetime keeping in mind that you get the money up front and don't have to wait, and all risk of not getting the BTC are removed, send me a PM.  If you are looking to sell these for more BTC than they will ever generate, good luck with the sale.
