Introducing ZenCloud Hosting

[zenMiner_Eric]

Hey Everyone,

ZenMiner Cloud Hosting, is our state-of-the-art cloud hosting solution for cutting-edge mining hardware. ZenMiner Cloud gives you the ability to manage your purchased miners from our network of partners directly through your ZenMiner Cloud account. Our goal is to allow you to optimize, manage, and monitor your hosted miner just as if it were sitting right next to you.

The ZenMiner Cloud hosting platform was built from the desires of our very mining community (you) and represents a bold new direction in cryptocurrency mining.

ZenMiner Cloud Features

Equipment Protection
99.9% uptime reliability
Choose from the top mining pools (we will be continually adding new pools)
Track the hashing performance and other key metrics of each miner like uptime, power consumption, speed, and much more
Reboot and troubleshoot your miner remotely
Dedicated customer support through ZenMiner


The ZenMiner Cloud platform launched on 7/14 at 10PM ET when we brought thousands of hosted miners online. We are coming up on one month since the launch date and we are so excited for the future of ZenCloud!

Activations are made within 24 hrs of purchase, please email cloud@zenminer.com if you do not receive your code within that time frame.

Thank you,
Eric C.
General Manager, ZenMiner

I've been 110% satisfied with my Oneminer purchase of 2 Falcon asics.  Zenminer had them listed and hashing within hours.   The crypto game is shadey!  Zenminer really shines through with their service, even after the sale.   I can't wait to hear about the big announcement today involving Project Prime.  I'm glad to be involved with a company paving the way.

Its interesting to see GAW/ZenMiner posting here on an unmoderated thread, given the extremely heavy handed moderation present on their own forum ("HashTalk") and discontinuation of their previous bitcointalk thread for GAW a while back. I'm eager to see what feedback and discussion we'll see in this thread, as most of the recent feedback on GAW/ZenMiner outside of HashTalk has been negative. Perhaps Eric can shed some light on several issues that have been banned from discussion on HashTalk or have failed to be addressed by Eric, Josh, Amber, or other GAW representatives:

1) Total lack of any real mining from ZenMiner Cloud, as confirmed by more than 50% of the pools ZenMiner Cloud claims to allow miners to select. No increase in hashrate, workers, etc. from ZenMiner Cloud, nor "affiliation" or "private stratums" that Eric/Josh have claimed in the past, as commented on by at least four of the ZenMiner Cloud user-selectable pools.

2) No documented evidence of physical miners or an actual datacenter presence, as much as you guys like to post photo/video propaganda of Josh being the "scrypt king" -- just seems odd you won't post any kind of proof.

3) Extremely heavy handed moderation on HashTalk of any discussion of these issues or any other question/topic that you dislike.

4) Increasingly large delays in shipping orders both from GAW and ZenMiner.

5) Decreasing amount of non-ZenMiner Cloud hardware available for purchase at GAW (and increasing prices on the few items that are available).

6) "Interest" on ZenMiner Cloud held-bitcoin -- seems an awful lot like a ponzi scheme.

7) Discontinuation of "founders club" benefits like the promised upgrade paths, free hosting for life, etc. without any announcement or discussion possible - again due to heavy handed moderation on HashTalk, and refusal of customer service representatives to address the issue.

Bump for visibility. I think it would do the community some good to have these issues addressed.

@Gaw/Zen,

I think all of us (pool owners) want these questions to stop, so if you could please take the time to answer the above thread, that would be great.

I too am interested in answers to these questions. This is a well organized list of the questions I personally have. I can confirm that I've not seen any increased hashrate on my pool as users tell me they're using ZenMiner Cloud to point at my pool. I would like to be wrong about this.

I'm not really sure how buying pools and/or rental services will allow you to increase mining profits. Many of us have been doing this for a long time, and some of us own both a rental service and a pool (lol), and have yet to find that magic 'double' button you guys claim -- I'll keep looking though, that's for sure.

These are great statements/questions.  I'm in no way affiliated with Zen or GAW, was just posting from my experience with them.  They have treated me very well, but not without hiccups. In my mind I assumed they were always using a larger machine or some type of cloud service the whole time.  When you wanted to take delivery they sent ya one from Hong Kong er where everdafuck they are producing them.  But I don't understand why they won't show any proof, of anything.  Since posting here, I've also noticed a couple of my questions and statements have been removed from Hashtalk.  I'm getting sketched out.

I haven't seen any "rental services" or "pools" announced as acquisitions of GAW, nor heard of any acquisition or buyout of mainstream service providers. I would urge that everyone exercise extreme caution, because as is always the case, the more fantastic-sounding the claims.. the more unlikely to be true they are when zero evidence is being presented.

It is extremely easy to refute the major questions in this thread. Post some details of datacenters with mining equipment, and a transparent record of your actual blocks mined + transactions. That's what blockchains are for, and what nearly every pool out there does.

[jjc326]

I think extra vigilance is required lately before anyone invests because of the lunamine scam. I got the feeling that lunamine owners would try to come back with another scam so please so your due diligence before investing heavily.

[ihascryptos]

so i just purchased a hashlet.  let me see a picture of what i bought. not the retail pic. i want to see the actual machine. plugged in, turned on, and running with the rest of the peoples hashlets that were purchased.

I wouldn't jump to the conclusion that GAW/ZenMiner are associated with lunamine, but there are multiple, very serious issues with GAW/ZenMiner that they do need to address.

ZenPool is at 93 GH/s now. Presumably it's not mining LTC otherwise it wouldn't be able to meet its profitability target. That kind of hashrate will be noticed if it exists. Not sure how accurate CoinWarz is but all the other Scrypt coins combined don't seem to add up to much more than 100 GH/s.

Glad to help you out Mate

I've also purchased several Hashlets... So far a seamless process.

That's neither a pool nor a rental service.. so I'm a bit lost.

https://hashtalk.org/t/hashlet-support/6264/40

The hash rates there represents some of our excess hashing power mixed with ZenPool. In other words, much of it is our own.
We spent the last month buying up pools and a few rental services. We are leveraging a combination of different pools, trading, IPO coins, and rental services.

Yeah, I don't think that helps either, sorry.

[lolwut]

What were the last blocks mined by zenpool? Can you please show us that information as well?

[lolwut]

hopefully josh remembers to use the right account when he replies here....
