But is it scratch and sniff?

"The burgers and tshirts have spoken." I'm not sure I've ever felt like more of a midwestern American than I do right now.

What if... what if we made a burger... on a t-shirt?

I have been testing multiple cloud mining services, to decide where I want to put major money.

So far I have looked at Zenminer, Zeushash, genesis-mining, ltcgear, and ihash-mining,

In my opinion the most professional service price goes to Zenminer - their interface is beautiful and easy to use. The prices are a little high but they are an innovative company - I say you put some money into them.

Other than service I also looked at payouts and ROI, and for that your best bet is iHash-Mining. They are a new company but they offer the best prices on the market due to their opening sale. Since they are new, I just bought their mining contract. I will see how that goes. Other than ihash-mining. LtcGear pays out well too; however they are always sold out and there site is hard to use.

All in all it is up to you where you put your money. If I were you I would try Zenminer and ihash-mining first.

I hope this helps.

You can also use Vultr for cloud mining.

I'm guessing that the IBM Power 8 instances have a slightly different architecture that is incompatible with the current rev2 capminer for noncepool then ? Perhaps you could post the errors that your getting or I'll try to test it over the weekend. TBH I'm mining Slimcoin at RunAbove at present and mining Gapcoin at both DO and VULTR.

Solo mining works at RunAbove, so it will just be a matter of reproducing the 'error' with rev2 capminer and making it compatible with the P8 chip set.
