My pool experience with cloud zenminer dot com

[kcheel]

Just announced that GAW has acquired majority ownership of Zen.  Supposedly a lot of good updates on the way!  Which is good news to me.  Just bought a S3 yesterday to add to my Falcon and had it activated last night.  Picked up a combo deal today for a Lightning and another S3, just waiting for activation on those.

Also they are going to give every current customer at Zen a free Fury and 3 months of free hosting for it.  I like free stuff!

woohoo me too

here my opinion with the hosting...I think they are mining elsewhere and just giving us the expected rate for the pool we choose in their list...the reason i say this cause i "had" my own home miners pointed to westhash for a few days no problem, all hashrate was stable, then they came out with saying WH and NH are gona merge and miners will be paid the same on both sites...and then boom my hashrate went to hell..up n down up n down...then they came out saying use this proxy to connect your miners, ok tried that same thing, wild hashrate swings so i jumped elsewhere but it just sucks cause i wanna mine on there with all my hash...so that is the reason i think they just payout estimated pool and why it is paided out late cause they have to wait for all the pools to update...just my humble opinion, take it for what it is worth...cause if the unit was actually mining on there, it probably would be getting less then avg payout for pool...

hmm now saying that...it's a good thing they doing it that way just wonder where they are actually mining? and maybe they are making more doing it that way? cause if whatever they are doing is paying lets say .05 btc a day and NH avg. payout is .03 btc a day...well then they just made .02btc and didn't even have to do anything for it I have no proof that this is actually what they are doing, nor do i really care as long as i keep getting at least something for my unit

I suspect they have sp30's and 80mh  scrypt miners in bulk.  They have serious cash and if you had lots of cash and connections you could get gear much cheaper.
 my thoughts are they may have sp30's in bulk at  prices like 2.5k each. Hosting them in the north west states at 3-6 cents a kwatt.
It would turn a huge profit for them and allow for us to get good deals. If they offer them at s-3 packages . whether  that is legal or ethical whom am i to say. I buy with cc's only.  I get 60 day  cc protection so I give them business.

If I mine in house an s-3 costs me 42 usd a month they charge me 27 a month with 1 free month.  hard to get past this.

I have enough to mine with right now.  I will stand pat on my gear for a bit. No results on my new s-3 should post later today or early sat.

I thought SP30's weren't available till Sept? They must have serious power tho as i saw on hash talk that the CEO g/tee the S3 to run at 446 regardless.

they are around I have seen tests and videos.
 not to say that gaw has them but they have some serious power.

the only way they can offer deals like they do is very lower power under 8 cents.

that means washington and oregon
they also need the best gear.

If I had 10 sp30s running at 4 cents a KWATT .

  I WOULD HAVE 45TH  using 30000 watts say 10000 more to cool that is 40 k watts or 1000kwatts a day at 4 cents it is 40 bucks a day in power and cooling.

if my home could run 100 s-3's it would be about 45th  power would be 35 kwatts plus 10 kwatts for cooling 1100kwatts a day at 16 cents  (new jersey) so 176 usd a day

so for power alone the difference is 136 a day.  if I pay him 450 a unit x 100 = 45000 usd.  if he paid 2500 a sp30 = 25000 usd.

nice profit for him and still a good deal for me.

not sure he is doing this.  but it is 1 way to give the prices he does and make money.

I got one yesterday

however, I don't see free hosting
it says 0.11 USD/day



the 2 antminers I bought say N/A, because I guess they have free hosting for a month?


-------------------------------

the s3 I bought on oneminer.com said to deliver 441+ gh/s

but it's really low



it usually goes around 430 gh/s

what's up with that?

the s3 I preordered on gawminers is on a stable 460-470 gh/s

[Munz77]

I have 2 S3's, one is currently 410 and the other is 453.

But if you check out the latest update from Josh (CEO of GAW/Zenminer), he is shortly offering "pool monitoring that automatically switches your pools to the the highest ROI targets in ream-time".

That will be huge. I think the current monitoring is not accurate, but this should change shortly.

yeah I read that the early orders will be at 460-470 to honor the first numbers given by antminer

 the new orders will be at 440 to order the real numbers now.

Do you have a copy of the oneminer sale ? see what it offers for hash.

Gawminers can frustrate at times. Your case would annoy me if I were you.  


BUT and a big BUT  they gave us all free fury's

Kind of like the little girl with the curl  when she is good she is so good, but when she is bad she is so bad.



I read about the lower numbers late last night and I decided to buy 2 direct from bitmaintech.

 that is a crap shoot I have four from bitmaintech  2 mine at 430 and 2 mine at  460.

I am waiting on my free fury will post back on it tonight.

 Some Real world shit happened yesterday:

I had a house fire yesterday in my kitchen.  I was really lucky.

The cooktop  on off controls that move the gas valves failed when boiling water for bok choi .  

The two knobs caught fire.  I was able to put the fire out pull a knob from the back burner and turn the front burners off.  

I am going to lowes to order a new cooktop.

Holy crap, that sounds bad. Almost burnt the house down... and the miners!

Haha No bok choi for him

I wonder what a miner would try to save first if the house was actually burning.
Your pc with wallet, or maybe the miners. Forget about children save the miners!

[crashoveride54902]

well glad your alright...when i first saw house fire i thought one of the miners was gona be the source

I do

[kcheel]

My S3 from OneMiner.com also runs a little low, so its not just you.  I have never seen 440+ on it.  Usually averages around 425ish or so.

[philipma1957]

I am running 3 sets of s-3's

1 set at my friends office does  860 or 430 each.

1 set in house does 930 or 465 each

1 set at gawminers does   920 or 460 each

I purchased my worst set from bitmaintech batch 1

I purchased my best set from bitmaintech batch 4

 I purchased my gaw set on july 21 and Aug 2  and they honored higher rates.

They gave me a free fury last night or this morning with 90 days mining for free.  So it does help a bit.

I decided to buy a fourth set of s-3's last nite direct from bitmaintech.  here is the order

https://blockchain.info/tx/f730ff3d1edc6fbe5ec0219c7038d688b3b12d703c9b660f1487e0d348680780

 1.245 btc for the 2

 732 for 2 s-3's  

 it is 366usd  an s-3  As I had a coupon for .075btc

I have a lot of psu's  but  

 366 usd free psu   vs 449 usd hosted free psu free power for a month  (at gaw miners)  is close.

breakdown  366 + 1 month New Jersey Power =  366 + 42 = 408   gawminers  449 + 0 = 449

  only 41 difference   and the gawminers would be mining as I type    so it is about a tie. 

now if they ship by weds and mine on thurs at 475gh they win over the gaw deal.  If they ship later and mine at 440 the gaw deal wins.

Margins are really tight for us miners.

I just wanted to have another set on hand for now.
 I will post the burnt knobs on the cooktop.  give me 5 -10 minutes.


I was lucky the valves on the two knobs failed and fire came up the knobs shaft.

Not porn but sounds like it. LOL

Both my wife and I were in the kitchen and not wandering around the house waiting for the water to boil. Have down the multitasking so many times boiling water for pasta etc.  Or making a large pot of soup.  Or corn beef  and cabbage.

That sounds about right!

A lot of new and interesting things are happening at GAW / ZEN now.
I am waiting to hear about upgrades and the new most profitable
guaranteed pool of their own making.

So this is the first day my miners mined a full day

my earnings

s3 --> 0.01354074 BTC

s3 --> 0.01294365 BTC

fury --> 0.00045513 BTC

altough the one s3 is mining lower then it promised, things are going even better then expected

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=698679.msg7923839#msg7923839

so far I am hanging in there.  about 1500 usd in and about 400 usd back. The s-3's should do well.


  did you secure your withdrawal yet?  they have an option now that allows for a cell phone to be texted with a code in order to make a withdrawal.
