Hi maco,

did my miner actually work for 6 hours? I've seen no shares on my ypool account yesterday, other than those my own pc mined...

Thanks in advance

Filling this form will get you a 100$ AWS coupon by email (near instant) : http://aws.amazon.com/big-data/powerof60/

100$ will allow you to purchase 100x C1 instance (0.07$/hrs) for 14.28 hours,  each giving you ~4000 PPS for a total of ~400 000 PPS.

Happy mining.

(credit card needed)

Good luck getting approved on this one... Also, $100 will be gone quick.

Thank You!

An Amazon Web Services representative will contact you.

Oh btw, if you haven't heard, they are monitoring all progress.

Deleted my last post.

At current prices, there's no way for you to make profit off of this service unless XPM prices skyrocket.

You are much, much better off simply buying XPM than using this service.

Here's my report: I've been given a bit more than 11 hours of free usage of basic service.

Mined 0.270814 XPM during that time, meaning I would probably get ≈ 0.270814 / 11 * 24 = 0.59 XPM for 24h usage.
That usage costs 0.01 BTC ≈ 0.01 / 0.00842772 (current mcxNOW rate) = 1.18 XPM.

It gets down to this: you pay 1.18 XPM/day to earn 0.59 XPM/day. Thanks for free trial, but there is no logic for me to pay for the service.


These aren't being mined to flip for quick profits overnight. XPM is a long-term goal setter. Today, Bitcoin was announced with great news on Channel 7 ABC news, and boy did they have good things to say. Primecoin isn't at the same level, and probably still in speculation mode, but make sure you have some coins at hand once our next world record is broken. I am not an exchange expert but I watch it enough to see how it is going.

Thanks for trying this out tho, and hope to get something cooked up for you in the future.

I will let you know when our beta version of the optimized server rates are ready.

20k PPS could be setup at DigitalOcean for ~$7/day, and you're charging ~$48/day. Even at DO's low rates, it's barely profitable now at the current difficulty and exchange rate. Terrible deal, if you ask me.

Althought at this moment I think that using this service will not give profit on current XPM prices, let's be fair, biggest (not on front page) DigitalOcean option of 8 CPU's, which costs $6/day gives ONLY 4500 pps. I know that because I did test run on it for 24 hours, 2 days ago.

They never said how good processors they have, 8 x pentium1 isn't the same as 8 x newest xeon

Thanks for the feedback.  I like what you mentioned here on the last line about the processors.

I'll share it here for one of the many we are hosting on so you guys know where we are at.

Server #1 - #50
processor       : 23
model name      : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU           X5650  @ 2.67GHz

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

Server #51 - #100
processor       : 14
vendor_id       : GenuineIntel
cpu family      : 6
model           : 44
model name      : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU           E5645  @ 2.40GHz

Hey thanks for the feedback. Check your account in about 30 minutes. You will see a little bit of improvements in the amount of shares/per second.

n4ru, you shouldn't come in here and spam, and you can't call it a scam when we haven't scammed anymore. Your post is going to get deleted again.

Everyone knows about DO and uses DO... we have orders coming in from users switching over.

Hello Primecoiner's,

I have some good news to announce. We have launched the first batch of orders of 20k pps and almost sold out of the second batch. I am seeing valid shares coming through and it is only going to increase as it rolls. Its a +1 cycle system.

Our free 6 hours trial was short and sweet... And it was there to try. We kept some 6 hour accounts live for them to continue trying and this was random as we at Host for bit, drew 5 names out of a hat to give some users up to 4 hours extra. P

We will let you know when that trial is back but as of now its 1000 pps for 0.01/btc a day

Overall, we have more good news. We are working closely to optimize our systems and port routing to try and enable a much faster speed and processing rate for each pps that it outputs. If successful, users may see a jump of 5% increase in valid shares per round.

We hope to continue working on serving the community with more value daily

Thanks for choosing us as your host for bit provider in xpm mining

Is this more profitable than simply trading BTC for XPM on an exchange?

Please let me know your experiences!

Totally different ball games. Exchange is short term, and its hit and miss.

Mining with our route is like having employees working under you... you just tell it where to go, and they get the job done. What I love about the pool is we have alot of strength on the network, and we are earning no matter what. It's tough sitting on no blocks solo mining because a big shark is taking over.  At least now you can have a few more fishes to eat and some extra, rather than no fish at all.

Review 1000pps option

Will start with good news - those guys have done incredible job, everything went so smoothly and can't see any problems with their service. Somebody - please buy them bear Smiley

And continue with bad news:
1000pps cost per 24 hours is 0.01 BTC, which is ~ 1.1 XPM

My 6 hour free ride would normally cost 0.275 XPM

In those 6 hours with 1000pps I got 49 shares and 0.080096 XPM unconfirmed

That is I got 3.4 times less profit that I would pay for service


Will bigger pps service pay off? not sure, but somebody could review.

The problem is - 10 times higher pps will probably give you 20 times more XPM, but 10,000 pps is 10 times bigger and costs 20 times more, so we are back to square 1


My opinion - great service, cost probably is adequate, but XPM difficulty vs price is not, therefore currently you will loose a lot of money, with profit more than 3 times smaller than service cost.
