As deleted in the moderated thread....
Self moderated threads shouldn't be allowed in the Group Buy area. A better process needs to be put in place to protect users of the forum.
If the Group Buy seller really had free power, then why sell hosted contracts? Self mining would greatly outweigh the pain-in-the ass it is to run a group buy.
Note the seller keeps changing the prices in his moderated thread.
You can see his frustration in his last post, as he knows his scam is being exposed.
I CANNOT allow defections from this group buy. There is NO refund. Do NOT even ask.
I INTEND to fight them and win. Stand with me and we shall overcome this adversity. There is light at the end of the tunnel. Bitmain WILL resume sales of S3 soon. Your funds are safe with me. Nothing has changed.
No refunds but your funds are safe with him? Are you fucking kidding me?

You can create a new topic if you are unsatisfied with this one. If the topic-starter is scamming, post about it in Scam Accusations.
How can you reasonably afford to host at $10/mo for 400W? Scale that up, that would be $1000 for 40KW (continuous), and you would actually need 48KW of capacity. It's going to cost more than $1000/mo in cooling alone, much less delivering the power to the miners. Plus you are looking at needing 2000Sq ft of warehouse to reasonably get enough power and cooling for that much power.
So are you just not thinking it through, or are you going to scam people?
