ZenMiner - Cloud hosted mining

To start...

What is ZenMiner

To give a rundown of what ZenMiner cloud hosting is, it's basically a service that will host your mining rig for a cost per day. There are promotional deals at stores like GAWMiners where I got a 27MH/S scrypt machine with a free month of hosting by ZenMiner. Once I don't want them to host my machine anymore, i notify them and then they send it out to me with free shipping.


Payouts

Payouts are daily and are obviously based on your hashing speed as well as the pool you choose.


Pools

As a scrypt miner you have the option of choosing between COINKING, CleverMining, Multipool.us, NiceHash, and WafflePool. Now obviously these are multipools because the payouts are in Bitcoins but each one varies in payouts. If you see the "Miners" image above you can see it estimates what your miner will output per 24hours on the pool you selected based on previous payouts on similar miners. You can select these pools on the fly instantly, so no commitment.


Latest Activity

ZenMiner tracks your recent activity to give you a pretty readout of what's been happening through your account. Very good to have so you have a handy reference if you're cutious about things like if you've accidently withdrawn BTC from your account with an extra "0" (I've been there).


Balance

The balance page is a purely transaction based activity page. Once again just a handy thing to have as a reference.

Looks

I'd like to say that ZenMiner has a beautiful simple UI, and I've been a big fan of it's asethtic since the first time I checked it out.

Here's an overview of the site:

Results


Overall, beautiful site and a great service. For just under 24 Hours of mining on my 27MH/s rig (Half the time on CleverMining and half on NiceHash) I got 0.01086925 BTC. Overall I recommend this service, especially if you don't want to worry about the extra heat or power consumption that one of these miners are notorious for.

The second day of mining with the same hardware (Full 24 hours) yielded 0.02051448 BTC. Quite a large jump, but as expected since there was a full day spent this time.

Antminer S3 Setup Guide & Review

Overview This is for the Antminer S3 , mine are batch 11. So to get started, the units are very nicely made from my experience, and actually not too bad to get started with. You're going to need your miner, a PSU (power supply unit, like the one in your PC) and an Ethernet cord. S3+ Specifications: Hash Rate: 453 GH/s±5% with great OC potential   Power Consumption: 355 Watt at the wall    Power Efficiency: 0.78J/GH on wall   Power Supply: 12V DC Size:  331 mm x 137 mm x 160 mm  Fans: Two 14038 fans mounted on both front and back ends   Operating Temperature: 0 °C to 35 °C   Complied with: FCC / CE Network Connection: Ethernet   Power consumption: This figure depends on the PSU efficiency, ambient temperature and the accuracy of the power meters. Step One: Network Let's prepare your network. You need to have your routers IP address to look something like 192.168.1.X. The x can be reall...

PoolWarz SHA-256 Auto-switching

What Is Pool Warz? PoolWarz is a pool (with a collection of different mine able coins) that has a little bit of a different approach to the set up of your miners. Creators of this site also bring you CoinWarz , and RigWarz , now have their own pool, they're not linked to one another however. Within PoolWarz , when you create a worker, you only point your hardware at one URL, as opposed to multiple different URLs for separate coins. At anytime you can alter what coin this worker is mining by changing where it's pointer (or "assigned" to ) on your dashboard in your PoolWarz account. Subscription There is an option to pay a monthly subscription fee to PoolWarz for a 0% fee (as opposed to their standard 2% fee) and also getting the ability for "auto-switching". If you've been mining for a while, you'll know the concept of "auto-switching" because it's the same as a multipool basically, except you keep all the coins you mine. ...

MinerGate

MinerGate is very interesting Mining pool with it's own mining software AND web mining (something that I've personally never seen). It is primarily used for mining cryptonote coins. If you have a slower CPU/GPU machine, it might be something you can get a reasonable yield out of. With much lower global hash rates, you have less competition for shares. Some cryptonotes have to be exchanged into a different coin before bitcoin but some like BCN can be exchanged straight into BTC (if that's what you're looking to do). Start Mining Simply download their GUI miner, and you can start at least mining with your CPU almost instantly. The second route is to navigate to their home page and scroll down past their GUI and download their open sourced mining software (if you dont like using these, just stick with the GUI). Fairly easy to set up, they're basically plug and play. Here's a simple set up for the  Claymore CryptoNote GPU : setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT...
