Something tells me that if there was any scamming afoot, the hosting option would not be priced as it is. Perhaps electricity is more expensive there, but that just seems a bit high? Was figuring they would take a percentage of the coins mined, but the release reads like payment may be requested in USD? Just have to wait for more details and see I guess. After reading that portion of the update, I'm now seriously thinking about having my unit shipped.
In Europe you easily pay 0,30$ per 1000W/h. We use too much green energy here
0,3$*24h*30days = 216$ alone for energy per month.... :-/
So from my point of view pricing is ok
I don't know about that. According to www.energy.eu electricity rates for industry are 0.07764 euros/kW and residential rates are 0.20092/kW . I can't imagine that a data center would pay residential rates for electricity so to me this looks to be on the expensive side...
Why does someone buy a hosting service:
1) Redundancy - UPS systems , generators etc. total power outage failsafe (this means that for every W of power used, it is also reserved in the DC's backup systems)
2) Abnormal power & Cooling requirements guaranteeing longevity for equipment for air humidity etc.
3) Security - would you put your moneymaker in a bank enviroment or in your mattress at home?
4532) Power costs. many datacenters use green power because the amount of power generated from one single datacenter has a huge carbon footprint.
for me its a no-brainer for my jupiter. keeping shipping /VAT / power consumption and common sense, its going in a hosted enviroment.
