You have a bit of experience IMHO !!
Maybe you know a good secure location in NJ?
The problem I have with a collocation site is that we need security even with one box as maybe we want to expand in the future.
We are actually working with money making machines, that is even if the diff rate is going up x10 its something we have to think about.
Just putting 6k in someones basement is a risk, Hawaii is out until volcano power is feasible, research that DZ!! but in the short term we need an east coast or maybe mid west site to host our first box.

PS Brazil is out, too complicated with imports. But Venezuela might be something to think about in the future... Cheap power, good internet..

Just a bit to far too drive for me. LOL

Barberton, Ohio 

cool I have 4 or 5 friends living there.


to beepbeep2 what state bro?

     ps I could be your dad if you are in college as I am 56.

Hi guys.

I checked the latest bill again and it seems that we got a nice raise in electricity cost to a whopping 6.86 cents / kWh. My grandfather, on the other side of town, still pays 5.4 cents / kWh, but he does not have internet access. If the 6.86 cents / kWh is still the lowest rate or close to it, I'll be open to hosting the machine. Keep in mind this is a residence, not a commercial building, and I am a freshman in college, most definitely not the oldest guy around. As lame as it sounds, my parents own this house.

I should be able to set up the miner to be web-accessible for monitoring however that would probably leave me vulnerable to DDOS or other attacks...we will have to see what works out. Time Warner likes to switch DCHP IPs around every other lease renew so it is hard for me to be able to even access my own network, some of the time.

If someone or two would like to come down and meet me that's fine, I'd be happy to set up an appointment for that purpose.

Gents,

As posted in the 1st thread & title, the last 2 shares were re-sold! Awesome!

Thank you and welcome aboard!

BeepBeep2:

I didn't mention it earlier but I believe that will be the lowest price of electricity among the co-op miners. From discussions I've had with him, he appears willing and able to assist in hosting a HashFast Baby Jet and that electricity rate is exceedingly inexpensive. He's studying the CCNA curriculum shortly. We should be able to work together as a team, with jungle_dave (a former network engineer) joining us and agreeing to be my emergency 2nd/3rd if you folks haven't heard from me in an emergency & the deposits are just sitting there. jungle_dave and BeepBeep2 both have my IRL workplace.

The 2nd largest shareholder has declined my invitation to be a co-admin, so I extended to invitation to be a co-admin/emergency backup to jungle_dave who has the right exp./background for remote administration/troubleshooting.

BeepBeep2 has been vetted by myself personally, I even invited him to a summer or year round internship if he's ever in Hawaii. He's already mining (with GPUs) and actually has more experience then me in bitcoin and cryptocurrency mining.

However: we should all have concerns in trusting someone that we all just met online. I've vetted your ID and feel comfortable about your address so there's no need to ask for your ID. For anyone that is willing to host our co-op's miner, they will need to answer a question for the group:

* Since they own it too, with sufficient prior notice would you be willing to have one of the co-op members be willing to stop by for a quick visit if they were visiting or living in the area?

If you're willing to say yes to this, I'm willing to put this up for a vote for the good of the Co-op. If another member could arrange a safe meet up in a highly visible place, that could help with trust issues all around. If you were willing you could allow them access (pref. with other adults around for safety) at least once that could go a long way in alleviating distrust.


Question to the Co-op:
Does anyone else live in the Northeast part of the country? Hope, you don't mind me at least giving the rest of the co-op your geographic region. firsttimeuser is a few states away, so I don't think that's feasible for any kind of IRL meet up.

In return for hosting this, to help make it worth his while, his hosting/management fee of 2.75% will be waived completely, and in fact he will receive a 1.5% Hosting Payout to help pay for electricity costs and time incurred dealing locally with our miner (and perhaps other miners). If this works out well, this could be a nice little sideline hosting service for our man BeepBeep2.

For now though, I'll await your response to my proposal as we still have another 2 months to change colo sites. If BeepBeep2 agrees, I will open up the hosting proposal for weighted voting, with me voting last and heeding to the will of the popular weighted vote.

===========================================================================================

Update: Full disclosure: I'm serving as free coach/mentor to BeepBeep2 in his CoinTerra GroupBuy and will provide Escrow *affiliate* services for his Group Buy via BTCrow.

Even though my services are free and even though he could be hosting our miner, he understands his academic career and incipient professional career could be ruined by substantiated claims of fraud as he has already freely given me his real ID/address in preparation for his first Escrow Coordinated Group Buy.

Hi gents,

User abdullahadam has been refunded for his 4 shares minus 1% (this is normally a 3% refund fee in many GBs). I'm going to hold 2 more shares and put 2 up for sale.

My share of the miner will now be 10 shares. firsttimeuser you *could* sell your shares but I thought you were in it to win it.

So for now...

2 shares now available.
 

I pay like 5.4 cents / kWh.  

I have my own Group Buy going and my money has to go toward that. Otherwise I would buy your shares. Sorry.

4 shares just for you..

We got prepaid order..

So we get a cpu like chip and a mobo like board. for about 6k.  

you add cooling a frame and a psu and we have  400gh correct?  

If all  true and quick delivery is made in a year there will be a lot of these on the market.

I could see 5000 TH and 520 mill diff with ease.  lets hope BTC goes up to 200 plus usd  like apr of 2013

By the way: I was contacted by a co-op member that had an emergency. There's 4 shares available from user abdullahadam if you'd like to contact him directly.

If you pay him BTC directly for his share(s) at 1.55BTC ea., he can PM me and I'll cc John so he knows ownership has changed to whoever bought his share(s). This way he doesn't have to incur 1% fees and I don't have to relist it. I may buy 1 or 2 more shares for a colleague I just saw on Maui today & who loves to invest/speculate in case he's interested, but I'll let you guys (or your friends/fam.) get first crack at it.

I was going to refund him with a 0.1% "restock" fee, if you guys (or whoever happens to lucky enough to be reading this at the moment) don't buy his shares first. Told ya I specialize in Win/Win deals. 

So basically: even though we're all paid up and queued...there's now:

4 SHARES AVAILABLE

Looks like they're busy, busy bees which is probably a good thing. I think with most of the miners sold, I'd rather they get the tapeout finished without incident then spend time updating us. 

Did you see the news they posted about how easy it should be to build these things? Pfft! You guys don't need me to build it! Your average Geico hairy dude should be able to put one together.

our order number is 991 paid on 8/18/2013

no news
https://hashfast.com/order-chain/

seems like not updated for few days
The HashFast team is busy or disappeard..

Hmm, perhaps we should compare electrical costs to consider any one of us to host it. We're like 50 cents a KwH on Kauai, so that knocks me out of contention right off the bat.

Anyone else want to volunteer to host & can list their electricity rate? We can all vote among the choices that are volunteered.

Hey trout. I guess we can make it the default payout address. Dunno how the rest of these guys feel, haha. J/K, I know what you meant.

This link explains how you can access Dropbox files without having to do the dreaded act of installing or registering for yet another app or service:

I believe I need one more wallet address and the spreadsheet's complete. I know I said I'd post it earlier but I've been a super busy bee - and you guys already knows how it's divided - basically trying to create a new niche on GB forum facilitating things. I heard back from John, he's really busy with family matters so I guess we should be lucky we were able to get his services before he got too busy. He also did NOT say no to my proposal to team up or have him take me under wing so there's still hope Obi Wan!

Need to head to a Maui lab for work tomorrow, so I might be back a bit late. I do have some co-op related news and a possible host facility change due to a co-op member who's contacted me with an offer of hosting. That & the "winning" colo site losing ground in my book due to slow response time after we initially began.

We would need a majority decision for this. I told the member that they would need to take pics of their mining rigs so we can get comfortable that he'll take care of the equipment & that we would vote on it, if I think the move is a good move for all of us. This member has a share of somewhere between 5-20% of the miner.  

P.S. The balance of the BTC has been returned back to me & will remain there for our hosting fees, which, if we agree via weighted majority, could be diverted to one of our co-op members instead of some blood sucking corporation that doesn't really care about or understand our weird little box.

My deposit address is the same as the sending address ( 15Y7LZyDdtYhZuRzCDSLfmZNN49HHbB8kG  )

I suppose you can use that as a default for everyone (not my address but their sending addresses ).

btw, do you need to use dropbox? is it not possible to just use the forums?
I don't really mind, I just don't normally use dropbox

[edit].. just news
good news!!
