I am interested in doing this, but I have some questions first. How do we know how much the miner is hashing? Is there a pool somewhere with stats that we can monitor? What happens if there is a discrepancy?

Also, do we need to post our payment info publicly here? I'd rather do it privately.

Very good deal indeed!

Thank you for your interest, much appreciated!

It would depend on the miner software if we could eventually find a way to link the "internal" miner stats to a webpage maybe, on the other hand, it would be possible that the pool we'll use would let an "open-stat" page like eligius for example... we'll see as more info will be disclosed and at least when we'll finally get the miners "in-hands".

At the same time, consider that our machines will be identical to the others available so, more or less, they will perform the same way and the comparison would be quite empirical, even if mining isn't easy like doing maths!

The factors that really weight on profit are the total power that we could deploy in our farm (better shares/shifts/...) and the money saved from the shared resources with others machines and, last but not least, the advantages derived from being hosted in a well implemented DC (possible OC, less dust, less hot,...).

About the payment infos, they are always public on the Blockchain, simply their aren't linked to any identity unless you do otherwise (this is just one of the amazing features the Bitcoin protocol has!)... But, as you'd like, we can manage all data exchanges privately (and encrypted at willing!) without any problem!

For any doubt/question/clarification, we're at disposal!

Thank you & Cheers!
