Going dark for a while. Heading to Alaska then on to Iceland for Project Prime

So hosting is back, but can you explain something?

Week 1 Fury unhosted is $169.95

Week 1 Fury hosted is $219.95

That's $50 more for hosting. But on your page you also say there is a 2.5% fee for hosting. So you're charging an extra $50 as well as taking fees? Did updates cross one another or something in regards to the site pricing and terms for hosting? Doing the math @ $0.10/kWh means it'll cost less than $15 to host a Fury for the year power-wise, exact numbers being $14.60, whereas the 2.5% fee will collect $14.40 (using current LTC diff + pricing for everything). So for hosting the price is really, over the course of one year, $219.95 + the 2.5% fee, so $234.35.

Is that right? Since Josh is heading to the land of the elves can someone else at GAW comment on this?

I asked the same question.
If you already pay a fee of 2.5% for hosting, there's no reason for price difference.

Same Here.

Hi, the price is what it is to cover our cost. First, we would need to charge about 8% to cover our back haul, power, staff, and building to cover out cost. Second, we also have to add a controller to each of these, which also have cost.

Best case, we break even on the cost they are now. Our board did not want to offer them as hosted, but I like the idea of offering a small hosted product for folks that don't have much money to spend.

Yeah, we got it, but the essence of the problem is a fact there is a new lower price price for hosted miners BEFORE they even start to work. I hope you undestand and will keep your word about crediting ealier buyers instead of following stinky "chinese business model"
