Figured the forum hasn't seen much posted so I'll fill in the silence  Just wanted to express again how happy I am with the monumental effort everyone involved here has put in to making NastyFans as great as it is. I'm happy to be part of a mining operation that's shown commitment to integrity and transparency. With the recent situation in Greece, a colleague of mine took an interest in bitcoin, and I was happy to get him started. I then told him about NastyFans and he's purchased several seats because he sees the value of NastyFans and the benefits of being a part of this group. I'm happy to see the recent uptick in price too, I think this is a result of the management and the active role the fans play as well here. The three year anniversary was a big milestone, there's been a lot of groups that have had huge initial interest only to become a scam or something that didn't weather the changing world of crypto currency. Yet here we are today a part of something bigger, and well...I just wanted to say thanks everyone, and it's great to bring others into the fold on something as great as we have here. |

Have you guys considered doing a group buy + hosting of mining hardware?
Not only will we get somewhat cheaper hardware, but we will get significantly cheaper hosting rates if we colocate them all together for a long fixed term (I know a hosting provider with large volume discounts). Could be worth looking into, if you want me to run some numbers.
I'd be super interested in pitching in myself for some hardware this way, because most small customers pay a premium for being small! I think this could be a valuable service for the mining community.

Thank you very much for the kind words. I am also very happy to be a part of such a great organization. Have you guys considered doing a group buy + hosting of mining hardware?

I've considered it. I know the toomim brothers have a nice operation. If there are fans interested in helping to foot the bill for something like this, I am sure I would be able to find those willing to donate equipment. NastyMining hasn't pursued this because I pay all of the electricity costs personally, so I cannot afford to pay for hosting all of the equipment that people have been willing to donate as a long term plan. A few years ago we were involved with a couple group buys with hosting. Most of them turned out to be scams, and the ones that weren't made very little profit. I think the preference for me personally would be for fans to step up and host a unit on behalf of NastyFans, but I realize that isn't a realistic expectation. There is an interesting USB miner project by sidehack that will produce a very energy efficient USB miner that fans may be more willing to host. The hashrate is pretty low, but perhaps giving away a few of these sticks might be a way to encourage more fan mining participation as a way to continue growing the distributions. |

Finding someplace like Toomim might make it possible to do something like this, the biggest thing would be the hardware acquisition. Figure a 60TH farm operating at 30Kw would be around $2500/month for the hosting returning roughly 18 BTC a month at today's diff. That would end up roughly 2 BTC / week to fans distributions after paying the hosting cost. However, for the moment I wouldn't consider doing it until we see what the next gen hardware is like, as I have a feeling we'll see new hardware before summer is out which will throw everything into chaos for a little while until the implementations complete and the diff stabilizes. Then there's that little thing about a halving coming around the corner also...  |

I do agree with waiting for the new gear and I also agree with renting some hash for the pool!

OgNasty, Can you explain how 'host a unit on behalf of NastyFans' would work? I may be willing to host a unit or 2 depending on how it works. kipper01 |

Just curious.. How do the 5 seat coins work? Will our seats show up on https://nastyfans.org/ when Nonnakip finds time to implement that or do we need to mint 5 seats or? |

Yes, the seats show up on nastyfans.org the same as the 1oz coins. The difference is that you have to manually register the coin yourself with nonnakip until the "minting" functionality is added to nastyfans.org. |

There hasn't been much in the way of news lately. I would like to think it is the calm before the storm.
I want to have our monthly live chat this Tuesday @ noon (8/4/15 @ 12:00pm PST).

Crap, I was on my way to the dentist and missed this. Will read the log. Bummed as I haven't made the last couple.  |

The QR code for nastyfans payments is now clickable. This was a request of OgNasty during the latest web chat. I do not use a Bitcoin client that will react to mouse clicks so some one else will need to confirm if the feature is implemented correctly.

I just purchased a seat from my iPhone by tapping on the QR code. Amazingly simple! Definitely a great upgrade. I also tested the functionality on my PC and it worked perfectly. Thanks! |

Nobody seemed to comment, but the DNS server run by our hosting provider went down again. We are exploring options to resolve this issue going forward, as it appears our host is unable to provide this basic service reliably. Everything is fixed for the moment, but hopefully an independent long term solution will be reached soon. I apologize for any miners or fans who were negatively effected by this outage.
