Better just say you host free but customers only get 100% of the bitcoins, none of the namecoins, ixcoins, i0coins, devcoins, groupcoins, coiledcoins and geistgeld...

I thought only 3 coins can be merged mined? At least bitparking.com has only 3 and http://dustcoin.com/mining only shows 3 too. If its true what you said maybe someone has to code something first to make it possible? Or is there a software already that makes this possible?

Bit parking merge mines 6 coins I believe. BTC, IXcoin, Devcoin, Groupcoin, iocoin and namecoin.

However, Groupcoin/i0coin are pretty much useless. There is no where to use or exchange them into other cryptocoins. Please correct me if I'm wrong, because I am leaving money on the table if so.

Sorry to derail your thread Dalkore, I hope your business is going well. It is a neat idea, at one point I wanted to do something similar, but HVAC setup costs proved to be too much to handle. I imagine you probably live in a much cooler part of the country too which helps a lot!

Cheers,

No problem.  Not sure why people are discussing merged mining on this thread.  Other than Bitcoin, most of the those others are not very useful. 

HVAC is a major expense but a part of the business.  It is cooler during the winter but hot during the summer so overall I need cooling no matter what.

I have just one Avalon batch 3 module (not whole machine) which is right now hosted at China. I'd like to move it to your place but I need to
know if it is possible for my module to end up within some of your machines that have spare module slot, and how would bitcoins payout work.

Yes, please PM me.  I have a few machines that do have room.    Which batch are these modules from?

I'm wondering if your tech crew would be (for a cost of course) be willing to perform upgrades on mining hardware. What I have in mind is say for example if the Avalon teams introduces 55nm mining blades for the Avalon platform, would your team swap out the old blades?

We actually already do that and now I am going to add it to the website. 

Example:  For our Avalons, we added server-grade exhaust fans to increase the exhaust airflow and lower the overall temperature in the box.  I have seen sustained 115-117 GH/s at 350 mhz Overclock settings.

For every unit type that comes in, we do research and look into what kinds of enhancements we can do to improve performance.   We really want our customers to get everything they can from their miners.

Adjusted some pricing.   The power usage on the BFL units was a tad high so it reflected a higher per month cost.

Not sure I'd post that in case of future disputes.  Also that may soon be the only way to ROI.  Wink

It is covered in my policy and yes please only take this is example language.   The actual coverage is very detailed but it is geared for data-centers that co-located equipment.

When you say "Insured" be more specific. Are future losses from a hardware claim covered?

Insured as in a theft, freak accident like a utility fire or act of god.   The policy is like 200 pages and I actually am in the process of reading every page but it looks quite comprehensive.   No you would not be covered for future losses but the insured value would be based on the retail price.

Major update.    Moved to a flat-rate fee.  Please read the statement to the mining community with our reasoning and explanation how we are calculating the fee.

Explanation appreciated.

Absolutely.  You're not the first including myself to think about that topic.  You actually inspired me to write an article for our website based on this topic.  I will PM you with it when its done.  

You might be interested in this article too.

I have read that and overall they are correct in their assessment.   Thank you.

Note:  I did moderate the last comment because it was not very relevant to the purpose of this thread.     

With that said I want to give you my opinion about hosting and centralization.

Basically this, mining is going to get more centralized period.  With depreciating returns in mining hardware investments, overtime the bulk of hashing power will be in a relatively fewer hands.  This may be a concern for some and even though I think it is a non-issue, I do understand the premise. 

When I decided to build the hosting facility, it was with the idea of lower operating costs and giving more people the ability to mine longer with the type of scale that will be needed in the future to operating profitably.  I hope people will agree with that assessment and support our business.  If not, I fear that this centralization will continue and independent miners will have a harder time to operate. 

Sincerely,
Dalkore

Installed more client hardware today.  They actually drove up from Cali to meet me.  Exciting.

is there enough space left for a knc saturn rig, minus psu?

Yes, I'll PM you so I can send over our hosting agreement.  We have space now and we are adding more capacity to meet future demand.  Inquires have been strong.  Signed up over 1 Thash in the last 24 hours.  Tomorrow I am meeting with another client and drive their gear straight to hosting.
