Frequently Asked Questions

What investment options are available?

We offer flexible investment options starting with a single mining unit. Volume discounts are available for multiple unit purchases, with significant savings for bulk orders. Contact our sales team for current pricing and package options tailored to your investment goals.

How do I get started with Bitcoin mining?

Getting started is simple:

1. Reserve your miners during our open ordering window
2. Sign your hosting agreement before the ordering window closes
3. We place the bulk order, passing volume discounts to you
4. We handle setup and hosting in our facility
5. You receive Bitcoin directly to your wallet

When will my mining operation begin?

Your mining operation begins shortly after equipment delivery. Thanks to our strong vendor relationships, we receive expedited shipping on all orders. Once equipment arrives at our facility, our team configures and deploys your miners within a few business days. You'll start receiving Bitcoin rewards directly to your wallet as soon as your miners are operational.

How do ordering windows work?

We regularly open batch ordering windows to aggregate client orders for maximum volume discounts. Each batch has its own timeline and equipment allocation. We often have multiple batches open simultaneously, each with different delivery timeframes and potentially different equipment models. Contact our sales team for information on currently open ordering windows and to find the batch that best fits your investment timeline.

Who should invest in Bitcoin mining?

Bitcoin mining may be considered by various investor profiles, but involves significant risk and is not suitable for everyone:

• Individuals with high risk tolerance who understand cryptocurrency markets
• Crypto enthusiasts already familiar with Bitcoin mining operations
• Investors looking to diversify a portion of their portfolio into alternative assets
• Those with sufficient capital to withstand potential losses

Note: Bitcoin mining is a speculative investment. We recommend consulting with a financial advisor before making any investment decisions.

What is included in your pricing?

We believe in transparent, all-inclusive pricing with no hidden fees or upcharges:

• Free setup and configuration for all miners
• No separate maintenance fees or charges
• Flat electricity rate of $0.08/kWh
• Volume discounts for bulk orders
• No additional or hidden fees

Our straightforward pricing ensures you know exactly what you're paying for, with no surprises.

What type of mining hardware do you use?

We deploy only the latest generation of ASIC mining hardware, selected for optimal performance and efficiency:

• Industry-leading hashrates for maximum mining rewards
• Superior energy efficiency to minimize operational costs
• Advanced cooling systems for optimal performance and longevity
• Enhanced durability and reliability for consistent uptime

• Regular maintenance and cleaning schedules
• Backup power systems and redundant internet connectivity
• Low-cost power at just $0.08/kWh, maximizing your profitability

How do you handle hardware issues?

We take a comprehensive approach to hardware management:

• All miners are covered by manufacturer warranties
• Our team performs regular preventative maintenance to minimize issues
• If a unit fails, we handle all warranty claims and replacements
• For non-warranty issues, we provide repair options at cost (no markup)
• In the event of permanent failure beyond repair, we can source replacement units from future batches

Our goal is to maximize uptime and minimize interruptions to your mining operation.

Do I need technical knowledge to invest?

No technical knowledge is required. We handle all aspects of the mining operation, including:

• Hardware procurement and setup
• Facility management and maintenance
• Mining pool configuration
• Ongoing optimization for maximum performance

You simply provide your Bitcoin wallet address, and we handle everything else.

Where are your mining facilities located?

Our mining facilities are located in North America, providing several advantages:

• Stable regulatory environment
• Reliable power infrastructure
• Competitive electricity rates
• Strong legal protections for your investment

How are mining rewards calculated and distributed?

Mining rewards are:

• Calculated based on your miner's actual hashrate contribution
• Distributed daily to your Bitcoin wallet
• Subject to only the pool fee (no hidden charges)
• Transparent and trackable through our dashboard

What affects my mining profitability?

Several factors influence mining profitability:

• Bitcoin price fluctuations
• Network difficulty changes (typically increasing 1.5% monthly)
• Electricity costs (fixed at $0.08/kWh)
• Mining pool fees (industry standard rates)

Are there any additional costs?

We believe in transparent pricing. Here's a breakdown of all potential costs:

• Initial Investment: Covers the cost of your mining hardware
• Electricity: Fixed rate of $0.08/kWh, deducted from mining rewards
• Hosting Fee: Covers facility costs, maintenance, and management
• Pool Fees: Standard industry rates (typically 1-2%), deducted at source
• Non-warranty Repairs: If needed, charged at cost with no markup

All fees are clearly outlined in your hosting agreement before you commit. There are no hidden charges or surprise fees after you begin mining.

What kind of returns can I expect?

While Bitcoin mining is inherently speculative and past performance doesn't guarantee future results, our clients have historically seen compelling returns:

• Recent miners have generated approximately $250-350 monthly revenue per unit
• Many clients have achieved ROI periods of 12-18 months
• Our low electricity costs ($0.08/kWh) help maintain profitability even during market fluctuations

Returns vary based on multiple factors including Bitcoin price, network difficulty, and hardware efficiency. We encourage you to use our interactive ROI calculator to model different scenarios based on your risk tolerance and market outlook.

Important: Bitcoin mining involves significant risk. Market conditions can change rapidly, and there's no guarantee of profitability. We recommend viewing mining as a long-term strategic investment in Bitcoin and blockchain infrastructure.

What do clients typically experience with Bitcoin mining?

Client experiences with Bitcoin mining vary widely based on market conditions, timing, and investment scale:

• Many early adopters benefited from lower difficulty and equipment costs
• Clients who mine through market cycles often see better long-term results
• Those who reinvest mining rewards into additional hardware can compound their operations
• Clients value our transparent approach and direct custody of their mined Bitcoin

We're happy to connect you with current clients (with their permission) during your consultation to discuss their experiences firsthand. This provides a more accurate picture than generalized testimonials.

What are the tax implications?

Mining income is typically subject to taxation. We provide comprehensive mining reports for tax purposes, but we recommend consulting with a tax professional for advice specific to your situation and jurisdiction.

Is my investment protected?

While we take measures to protect your hardware investment, all cryptocurrency mining involves inherent risks:

• Manufacturer warranty on hardware (subject to manufacturer terms and limitations)
• Facility insurance against certain physical risks (specific coverage detailed in your contract)
• Direct custody of your mined Bitcoin (though wallet security remains your responsibility)
• Contractual agreements that clearly outline responsibilities

Disclaimer: No investment is fully protected against all risks. Market conditions, regulatory changes, and technological developments can all impact your investment. Mining hardware may depreciate in value and mining rewards may decrease over time.

Do you take custody of my Bitcoin?

No. We never take custody of your mined Bitcoin. All mining rewards are sent directly from the mining pool to your personal Bitcoin wallet. This ensures 100% client ownership of all mining rewards and eliminates counterparty risk.

What happens if Bitcoin's price drops significantly?

Bitcoin price volatility is a natural part of the market and can significantly impact mining profitability:

• During significant price drops, mining operations may become temporarily unprofitable
• Our low electricity costs ($0.08/kWh) help reduce operational expenses, but cannot guarantee profitability in all market conditions
• You own the physical mining hardware, though its resale value may also decrease in bear markets
• Some clients choose to hold mined Bitcoin during downturns, though this strategy carries its own risks

Important: There is no guarantee that mining will remain profitable during market downturns. All cryptocurrency investments carry significant risk of loss.
