So GAWminers is selling "Hosted Scrypt Miners" as one-day promotions on
www.oneminer.com ..
it sounds quite good.. a 1.3 Mhash Litecoin Miner for 60 USD plus 30 USD hosting Fee for One Year..
or today 13 Mhash, hosted 3 month, for 400 USD
you can ship the miner to your home at any time..
so in germany i even save 144 USD just in electricity cost over one year..(1.3 Mhash )
or save 360 USD in 3 month.. ( 13 Mhash )
but my assumption is: they don't have any miner at all!
they have a fancy gui, yes.. but they only take the 90 USD and pay you day by day the btc you would receive with mining.
( they can do math: they know that they will never have to pay more than 90 usd back )
so here is my evidence: they do not allow custom pools.
you can select between 5 coin-switching altcoin pools, which all pay out in btc..
so you do not know if they are really mining... or just pretend they were mining...
what is so bad about this?
either they are complete scammers.. ( or okay.. they give you the "feeling" as if you were mining.. )
or they are weakening the altcoin community: they are lowering the LTC price ( if they are really mining ltc and selling them for btc )
what about the shipment option? this is done with the hardware of GAW miners. but they hope that very little amount of users will request shipment. 10% of the hardware is munch cheaper than 100%. and what happens when all miners have to be shipped in one year? definitely they are woth noting.. so they can buy them very cheap and ship them.
but we can see: they do not need to owe the miners at the moment...
even more strange is the following fun fact: you can pay in btc.. in your mining account.. that does not make any sense!!!
what do you think? do they actually mine?
i think i will request shipment immidienately.. they do it for 0 USD internationally.. i am very curious if this will ever happen...

https://www.zenminer.com/cloud/What is ZenMiner Cloud?
ZenMiner's world-class cloud hosting service to helps you hit higher ROIs easier and more reliably. Host your machine in ZenMiner's state-of-the-art datacenter and never worry about uptime, power costs, or noise ever again. When you checkout from one of our partners with a ZenMiner Hosting package, you will be given a code to activate your machine and begin mining in no time at all.
What is Equipment Protection?
This works just like an extended warranty on your miner. If your equipment goes down during your hosting contract, we’ll immediately replace your device and handle the RMA with the manufacturer directly! Oh, and we’ll also compensate you for any downtime you experience.
What pools are available?
At this time we’ve chosen some of the most reliable pools that are also popular with our customers. For a complete list, please contact
cloud@zenminer.comWhy can’t I mine to my pool of choice?
In order to deliver on our promise of 99.99% uptime, we’ve hand selected the most profitable and reliable pools that have also proven to be popular among our customer base. If there’s a pool that you feel should be on our list, please contact us at
cloud@zenminer.comHow does the 99% uptime guarantee work?
Simple. If your device stops hashing, we’ll start paying you based on your expected hashrate until your machine comes back online. No waiting for compensation, the transition is seamless.
What does the service cost?
At this time, ZenMiner does not bill customers for this service. Our hosting contracts are typically tied to a supported reseller device. At present, you can get a ZenEnabled miner from GAW Miners.
How does this affect my on-premise ZenController?
For existing ZenController users, this platform will not interfere with your current device in any way. The two platforms are entirely independent of one another. However, we do plan to integrate them in the future but only at the interface level. On-premise controllers will still function as they do now.
