Hi,Im thinking about starting to use this service.I have a budget of 220 dollars.How much would I make daily with that?Monthly?And if this is a bad service what is a good service?

In terms of cloud mining it does not get any better than this. Use bitcoinwisdom calculator once you figure out which miner you will cloud mine with.

Nobody can tell you that exacty, they have several different miners, there is difficulty in the game as well as pool luck.

Current ROI is about 220-280 days or about 0.4% daily yield depending on type of contract you buy - look here: http://nextdifficulty.com/#roi

Hi, I am looking at the 2 options offered by Hashnest.  So from what I can tell, you get a chance at a better return, but more risk if you buy the equipment and have it installed vs the pacmic.  But it does not say on the website that I can tell, if I buy an s5 for 390$ (for example) do they host it indefinitely as long as it is profitable?  What if it breaks? Basically I am looking for more info on this option so I can compare the two.

Thanks if anyone knows the answer.

They host it as long as it is profitable because there is a maintenance fee that has to be paid and is distracted from your profits and later you can ship it to yourself if you still need it. And you don't have to purchase the whole S5, you can start by buying some ghs backed by S5 (you can choose which equipment is backing your hashrate - there are different markets for that).
And pacmic looks to be sold out..

Also you need to take into account the fact that the new generation of miners should be out this summer. In other words, nothing last forever in crypto world.

[Buttknuckle]

OK, thanks for the help guys.  I assumed a new model would arrive soon.

To hasnest:

On your order page for buying the s5, it lists a maintenance fee by the machine.  However when you read down below it says that there are no maintenance fees, but there is an electricity cost.  I assume that the cost of electricity is what you mean by the maintenance fee, but its confusing.  Also much of your site is translated poorly into English.  It gives your site an unprofessional feel that makes me a little nervous.  You have a great reputation and I am not saying anything fishy is going on, but it may look like a scam site to a casual observer due to the poor translation.

Yes, this is the ROI. Also, this is taking into account ideal lab conditions, no significant diff growth or increase of fees.

Also Always do a quick check of the market price for s5 vs the shop price of s5 per gh.

You will wait up to 72 hours if you buy from the shop for your ghs to be credited to your account vs getting it right away on the market.

However, sometimes it is much better to buy on the market and sometimes much better to buy from the shop as people don't understand the 2 options. 

To get the shop price of per gh just take the bitcoin price ( they have listed, and yes it changes with changes in the usd/btc price... if usd/btc price goes down they charge more btc to equate to 390 usd and visa versa ) and divide by how many gh an s5 unit gives ( 1155 gh )

For example at this very moment the hashnest shop price 1.64 btc per s5 divided by 1155 gh gives a per gh price of .00141 which is much cheaper then the market atm.  In my opinion it is enough of a difference that it is probably better to buy from the shop at the moment then on the overpriced open market.

Remember though btc/usd changes fast and you will wait 72 hours to get your account credited 1155 gh per s5 unit bought.  Then again it could go the other way as well and you will have got an even better deal should the btc usd price go lower.


That is why when btc/usd prices go up the amount of btc you pay for s5 unit goes down ( gets cheaper ) and the market tends to drop.  On the reverse if btc/usd goes down then the units cost more btc to equal 390 usd and the s5 open market tends to go up.   

The point is take advantage of when the people who don't understand what they own and how everything works are paying too much or the open market has a deal compared to the shop.   It is especially nice when the open market price is cheaper then the shop price because you are getting a discount to what the market should be at and you are getting your ghs immediately.

Anyways, good luck...

Thanks so much chunky for taking the time to educate me.  Most noobs might not appreciate the value of your advice.

For example at this very moment the hashnest shop price 1.64 btc per s5 divided by 1155 gh gives a per gh price of .00141 which is much cheaper then the market atm.  In my opinion it is enough of a difference that it is probably better to buy from the shop at the moment then on the overpriced open market.

Is there an arbitrage opportunity here?  When BM credits the 1155 GHS to my account, does it then become de-coupled from the hardware; i.e. could I then sell those credited GHS on the open market as individual shares?

Cheers.

Yes, after 72 hours your account gets credited 1155 gh on the ant5 market.  

You can then do whatever you want with those 1155 ant 5 gh on the open market.  They are de-coupled from the physical miner like you said.

I imagine you could still redeem your physical s5 unit in the future per 1155 gh you owned similar to what they did with the old s2 units provided you pay shipping ( which can be cost prohibitive in some cases ).  Again, guessing.. not sure the exact policy on the s5 and redeeming.

Edit - To answer your question on arbitrage there is indeed an opportunity when the shop price is a lot lower then the market.  Just be sure to remember you will wait 72 hours to get those 1155 gh into your account and a lot can change in 72 hours.  Also remember some people are probably doing the same thing....  Lastly, also take notice of the amount of s5 available in the shop ( I think it is currently 500 left ).  They have run out in the past but then added 2000 more units to sell.  You just never know when they will add a ton more supply or all of a sudden have none left to sell.

******** Note ******  per the main bitmaintech site that sells hardware direct there is this note under the antminer s5 batch 5

A limited quantity of units will be sold in this batch. This is the last round of production for AntMiner S5, and Batch 5 will be the second-to-last batch of S5 units to be sold.

******************

Now, bitmain has been known to all of a sudden have a ton more supply of something that looked like it was about to be gone...  So you never know.  However, In my opinion the next antminer s6 might be out soonish ( like this summer )  So they very well could be stopping the production cycyle for the s5 soon like they stated above...

When I say soon I have no way of knowing when... 2 weeks - 4 months...

[chunkyjunkie]

You are most welcome...

If you have any other questions, I would be happy to answer them here or point you to links that would help you understand better any questions you might have.

After you really get into understanding how it all works it is a lot easier to understand why things move the way they do.

Also understanding difficulty adjustments every 2000 blocks ( or about 11 days ) is another huge factor in prices...

Again, my pleasure and good luck!

hmm did a small withdrawal and stuck auditing

Maybe the hot wallet needs some bitcoin added?

Thanks for this info, it's ultra-helpful.  Can I changetip you a beer somewhere?

[chunkyjunkie]

Tracerx,

Thanks!  Appreciate it but that is ok I don't need the money   Can use it to tip the next guy that might need it more then me.

However, tonight when I go disc golfing and metal detecting I will knock one back for yah

Anything I can do to help in the future please feel free to ask.  If I  know the answer I would be happy to explain..
