From User CooldGamer
tl;dr of how his hosting service works:
1 BTC upfront for 30 days
.6 to keep it up for another 30
.4 for last 30 and keeping the rig to host/sell
1BTC paid upfront gets the ANT miner shipped plus 30 days of hosting.*If you make over 1
BTC in the first 30 days of mining you may simply cancel the contract and keep your earnings. You owe nothing.
Prior to the 31st day of mining: 0.6BTC is due to continue the contract for days 30-60 *Again if you have profited or some crazy company comes along and jumps the diff by a few hundred percent you can just cancel and keep your earnings.
*We eat the loss and deal with the device. (Office space style)
Prior to the 61st day of mining: 0.4BTC is due to continue the contract for days 60-90 and be eligible for an upgrade credit or refund from the device sale.*After this you own the ANT miner. You can sell it to a US buyer or let us sell it or lease out the hashpower.
The
total cost for the
device + hosting is
estimated to be
1.5BTC After reselling the device for .5
BTC in 90 days.
