FYI - If you choose to send your miners to other countries, be prepared to deal with customs mess. I chose Canada and my miners were stuck at customs and had to pay exorbitant custom fees. Lessons learned.

I thought customs fees were only 5% ?

How long are your miners stuck in customs for?

My miners went through the customs quickly but I ended up paying 15% tax. I've asked the datacenter ahead of time and they'd told me that's to be 5%.

good to know, actually I was also looking at hosting in Canada and hosting company told me 5% as well.

I've already paid local tax at 10%, to relocate them and slap another 15% is not really viable lol. 5% prehaps.


-What is the name of the data center that you sent your miners to Canada?


GND - so far 0 machines setup.  Not happy.

Seeing the sad state of the mining hosting biz I could only vouch for Hashplex. Those guys were not perfect but they're quite solid and leaps and bounds better than the rest. They're like the Amazon of ecommerce. But I guess they're no longer hosting.


I have 3x Machines hosted by GND. It took them about 1 week & 1day or there abouts to be set up.  They were inundated with machines sent all at the same time.  I can say their customer support has been terrific in terms of advising the delay & setting up of the miners.  So to those who are considering hosting, they are legit & great to work with.
