One reason is because they take a cut of the pie.
What are the other reasons? or is that the only reason?
That's primary reason. I have nothing against you or LeaseRig; it's a great concept. I just don't want to have to pay someone for what I can give them in the same regards. No offense.
Not offended at all.
What about pool changes and device management? If you are leasing for a year I would presume you have an SLA and offer some system for pool changes?
As of right now, I'm managing the pools the users want to mine at. I'm working with someone on building a front end for the setup. Payouts are proportional as I can't simply take some of the devices and divide them up into per GH/s so some will go to one pool, others to another, etc.. Will have to work with individuals and their needs as they come along.
If you are planning on long term rentals. What would be a fair fee to get you to come to a service like leaserig vs building your own frontend or self managing pools?
Your know, miaviator is a really nice guy, and he will probably lower the fees or try and meet your expectations.
