John,

It is very unlikely that you will receive any messages or comments about your post since the alleged pirating of miners by Oregon Mines simply has not occurred and we are taking further precautions against the reoccurrence of what we believe really happened. 

Our rapid expansion has certainly caused growing pain issues and also alerted us to the need for tightening up VPN access as will be explained.  Note that only a couple of your miners were affected and only late in the hosting cycle.  We believe clerical errors and/or other client greed caused the problem you described.  Every client now requests VPN access and there were no identified problems relating to this access prior to your incident that you admit not notifying me of until months later.

Based on our research, we believe another client may have been accessing a couple of your miners due to either a clerical issue where they were given VPN access to those miners in error or, more ominously, guessed the IP addresses.  Your point about not using the default password is appreciated and we are implementing unique passwords for miners as a result.  Use of the default password certainly does make it easier for our techs to troubleshoot miners.  However, if the result allows a client to commandeer another client's miners, that is totally unacceptable and the techs will just have to spend a bit more time to look up unique passwords.

Taking your machines down at the beginning of the month when most of our contracts begin was an error, period.  You did mention that you were refunded 125% of the hosting fees for that time, something I doubt other hosts would do.

I'm sorry that you elected to post unsubstantiated and inaccurate scam claims while ignoring the bulk of your experience with Oregon Mines.  Anyone responding to your request for similar experiences should also copy me at support@oregonmines.com and, unlike yourself, make us aware of issues when they occur so we can determine what is going on and remedy the situation.

Tom Thurber

Hello,

I am the COO of Oregon Mines.  We are totally full and have been for some time with a long waiting list.  Therefore, we are not financially motivated in responding to the latest comment.  Oregon Mines has successfully hosted miners since 2014.  The negative comment referred to was posted early in 2015 by a person who was subsequently banned from the forum and the comments related solely to a former employee without any reference to the services of Oregon Mines.

Since these posts seem to endure indefinitely, don't want them to linger in the forum without response.

Hello Stugots2,

I am the COO of Oregon Mines.  Please contact me via support@oregonmines.com if your issue with the used Avalon 6 has not been remedied.  We sell used miners for our clients and test each unit before sending.  They are used prior generation equipment that can easily be damaged in transit.  However, we gladly replace or issue a refund for any equipment that the customer is unsatisfied with.

Just noticed your negative post during a random search and don't want it lingering on the forum without response.  We utilize a ticket system that requires each ticket to be resolved so don't understand the "non-response" comment and apologize for any lack of communication.

Tom Thurber

Hello all,

I am the COO of Oregon Mines.  We have been hosting miners since 2014 and have grown steadily since.  Our center is completely full with a long waiting list for space.  So, while not particularly concerned financially about unfounded negative claims, we don't want them lingering on the forum without response.  The "scammer" posts in 2015 related to an employee of Oregon Mines who is no longer with us and made no reference to our services.

Anyone seriously interested in determining the validity of Oregon Mines is invited to contact me via support@oregonmines.com.

Bitmain is releasing another batch of s9 on Monday.

Oh nice, how do you know. I see that on their twitter account they mention a new batch of R4s, but no mention of S9s.

Sweet, well I guess if that's true I shall snap up a few Smiley, maybe now you guys can finally take my S7s cause I know you love those lol.


How many S7s?

Re: Bitworks 8 GPU 4U rack mount mining rig - 230Mh/s ETH
by
OregonMines.com
on 23/11/2016, 21:55:04 UTC
Hi, You say you made this case?

it looks oddly familiar.  How long did it take to paint?  or are you simply reselling them?

thanks!

Fitting 8 GPU using commodity components in a 4U chassis, of course there are similarities but if you want to get down to it there is a long list of differences.. I am quite aware of Gray Matter,
and they are quite aware of me as well, no ill will on either side, but thanks for asking..
ok , yea they have an 8 card model as well, just making sure that you note that.

what are your differences if i might ask?

thanks!

Not looking to get into a pissing match over how close or different they are, obviously dumping the same components on the table, and fitting them in a 4U case in the least cost model results in a similar layout, no way around that. This case has a different face plate (laser cut aluminum) to negate the use of fan grills with integrated rack ears, from the pictures different orientation of GPUs, one vs. two PSUs, different overall dimensions, this one is made specific to my hardware configuration and doesn't handle reference GPUs and other longer ones, no bottom plates used.

With respect to the request for pictures, I'm asking a couple of the hosts that handle a bunch to make posts so it's not all coming from me.

Oregon Mines hosts loads of the BitFuel 8 GPU machines. If you aren't sure what the difference is between this and the Grey 6 GPU rig , PM us.

We know who makes both machines, we also make machines. We're aware that many people might know how to assemble the 8 GPU parts, but very few have the chops to keep them running. It's not your standard six, and yes, it's far harder than 8, especially while maintaining the integrated HDMI.

We've hosted these since 160 , now they are 230 , and even today we are opening new ones. If you reference this thread for hosting, I'll knock 10% off the list price per unit hosted.

- Happy Holidays from OregonMines

We are reluctantly replacing our super dependable Spondoolies miners with later generation equipment.  As a result, we are offering SP20s WITH POWER SUPPLIES for just $90 plus shipping and handling of $15.  Each SP20 will come with a hash history and be ready to plug in when received.  If new to mining, we offer free advice and guidance for getting started.

Is this the part where we ask for a picture of the actual farm with someone holding up a sign saying something along the lines of bitcointalk oregonmines?
I'm not really sure why you would, no other host needs to show the hardware that is owned by their clients, but here are a few pictures from when we had and sold SP20's last year.  We also have a few newer pictures on our sites homepage.

Sweet! Thank you for the pictures, I now feel more inclined to trust you then others (no sarcasm intended). They are used to establish that you actually have the farm. And may or may not pay with the funds invested by later or earlier investors.
You're welcome, but just to clarify we are a colocation provider not a cloud host. We do not take any investments or pay funds to clients, we host our clients miners and those miners then mine directly to the clients pool or wallet of their choice.

...

Anyone offering a good cloudmining service would likely get LOTS of customers, as apparently few or NONE of the current services that I read about here offer a positive ROI.

Is OregonMines up and running now?

You might want to spell out more clearly your offers, and what kinds of ROI people could expect.  And exactly how people would start with you.

Transparency...

*   *   *

Have any readers here gone with OregonMines?  Many of us would like to read any reviews.

Oregon Mines is far and way the highest quality hosting provider operating in BTC today.  I have extensive business dealings with them, and never once have they failed to exceed my expectations.  Their entire team is professional, attentive, and of the highest qualification.  If more Bitcoin businesses operated in the same manner as OM, the entire BTC economy would be exponentially better off. 

I am more than happy to provide a personal reference, or answer any questions you might have regarding my experiences as a customer. 

Thank you for your review.
