Yes, I have a legitimate reason to position USA ahead of the rest of the world. Efficiency..

If efficiency is the goal it should be sorted by price not geography so putting USA first does not make sense. At least you made me laugh with your change of the name to America, United States like one of those trolls suggested.

Not sure why getting asked totally legitimate question makes you shake your head, but ok.

Thank you for finally explaining because even though i disagree i appreciate you making a response. I am glad this was not paid advertisement.

It's QG's list he can put it in whatever order he likes.

And this is my post and I can ask him to explain if I like. Thank you for making a useless post and contributing nothing.

Quote
Suggest you contribute a bit more and moan a bit less.

This is extra funny considering my post contributes a valid question and yours absolute nothing!


You built your whole conspiracy on a false premise that this list is to be trusted.

More low intelligence posts from you, not surprised.

You clearly don't know what a conspiracy is. Its definition requires more than one person. I never said there was a conspiracy. I said there was a significant unjustified change which anyone can clearly see from the link I posted. If by "conspiracy" you mean that what I said didn't happen then you continue to get dumber with every post.

So much for your reading comprehension and "not speculation".

Words you obviously do not understand clearly include at least "conspiracy" "reading comprehension" (which you also lack) and "speculation"

Thank you for continuing to clutter this thread with useless posts while attempting to stroke your own ego. At least you provide me with laughs because you think your posts make you look clever but they do exactly the opposite. My post was directed at QG only and not you so your zero value input was not solicited or required. Also funny because you mention conspiracy but the fact that you are super defensive about something that should not concern you and what is totally legitimate question (so no reason for your foolish ranting) would almost point to you being involved in one. Not that I actually think there is one or ever said so.

Or we can stop speculating and move on.

You need to buy a dictionary. I asked QG to explain. That is not speculation.

Quote
What difference does it make?

I thought it was clear but let me break it down a bit more for you. This list is useful if it is unbiased. If it has now become a paid promotional tool it loses all credibility and becomes a marketing tool. If one USA host is paying to manipulate this list we can not trust the information on other hosts to be accurate.

Quote
Are you really suggesting that someone would choose a host from the US even though they need one in Asia just because the list is sorted that way?

It is very clear that I am not maybe you should read my writing again.

Quote
What about them poor United Kingdomanians then, those will never get to their list of hosts according to your logic.

Again your reading skills need work if that is what you got from my writings.

Quote
Would you be happier if QG put "AMERICA, UNITED STATES OF" at the top?

No, I would be happy for my question to be answered, which is why was this change suddenly made after a year and a half with no explanation?

My guess would be the plurality of English-speaking bitcoin miners are in USA, and so are most of the listed facilities, so listing USA first is convenient for the largest number of people?

All of the facilities are listed in English so they have at least one representative who speaks English. This directory is also 1.5 year old so why wait so long to make that change? I don't see any complaint in the thread that would ask for that change either.

Quote
If I'm remembering right, QG is Australian.

Which makes it even more suspicious because "national pride" is not what makes him do this, although that would be a terrible reason for the list change also.

Just because he is Australian does not mean he can not own shares of USA host or have been paid by USA host to make the change which is why I asked if he was willing to admit to any association with one of them.

We can both speculate as to why but the only one who can say for sure why he made the change is QG so hope he can make a statement explaining why.

Directory trimmed; Trimmings dumped here...

QG

Are you associated with a USA hosting facility?

The reason I ask is the list was originally in alphabetical order which put Asia first but now the list is still in alphabetical order except that USA has been put on the top of the list rather than the bottom where it belongs.

Outward appearance is you put USA at top of list so they are more likely to be seen. Makes this list seem like a sales pitch instead of objective directory. I cannot think of a reason why you would risk your reputation unless you were receiving some benefit from it like owning shares in one of the USA companies or they made you a payment of money to put USA on top.

Is there a legitimate reason why USA suddenly has priority over all other places in the world?

Re: CryptoBoreas - Canadian Bitcoin Mining Hosting ($75 CAD per 1 KwH/month)

Scroll a few posts up, there are some pics there.

The only pictures are in the post I already replied to which said you would post more pictures when you returned from vacation. Those are the pictures I was asking about.

Quote
For now there are no new pics as we're still working on the entire setup. There are new racks to be installed, new gear to be arranged, and more exhaust blowers to be installed. Once it's all cleaned up and more "neat" I'll see if I can post more pics.

I thought those pictures you posted before were of earlier work in progress but that you had now opened for business to host for clients? So this is not the case, you are still building the facility now? I apologize for being confused.

When do you expect to complete the work and actually be ready to start hosting customers' equipment?

I'll post pics of the inside when I'm back. I'll also add it to the website.

Are you still planning to post these pictures now that you are back from vacation? I am curious to see!

So they can pass the savings to you.

There is a difference between doing things properly and cutting corners to save a few bucks. What might appear to be "savings" up front is actually far greater costs to be paid down the road!

Quote
I rather pay $50 per kwh in an ugly but functional/ safe place then to pay $90 per kwh in a glamorous building with TV/cable, lake front, etc.  Your miners doesn't care as long as it is cool and have enough juice.

Why pay money to put your expensive mining equipment somewhere it will get damaged and probably given no more care than was put into the building when you can pay about the same to get your gear hosted somewhere things are done properly? Cable tv is a good joke, obviously my miners would not need that but they also don't need to be right beside an open window to get rained on! I have been reading various threads around here and while some places like toom.im still offer 2014 prices of $90+ it looks like there are other hosters offering prices more in the area of $70 so it is not like the only choice people have is between "get ripped off" or "barebones plywood data hut for cheap until the weakest link fails".

Is this an expansion of the hosting service recently launched by allinvain? I see it is located in iceland not canada but the name sounded similar. I am not sure though why anyone would take pride in making a cheap quality miner host. If I was going to place an order for tens of thousands of dollars worth of mining equipment I would want it hosted in a place that is high quality not one proudly made of plywood and called "a shoestring facility". Did they also do the electrical work cheaply? Did nobody learn the lesson from last year when that mine in thailand burnt down with millions of dollars in miners damaged?

Re: Stay away from ASICSPACE

Are any ASICSPACE customers here?  My hosted machines stopped hashing Thursday night.  When I entered a support ticket, I got a call back from Robert on Friday indicating that they were moving my machines to a new facility and they should be hashing again within 48 hours.  The machines are still offline now.  Just wondering if any other customers are experiencing the same issue?

Does this place still exist? Was anyone ever able to reach them? Their website is still online but their last post was 5 months ago. Looks like this is definitely a hosting service to avoid?

What happened to this place?

I would also like to know. From reading other threads it looks like customers miners are going offline and they are not responding to their emails or posting on here but their website is still up. Are these people still in business?
