Mining Bitcoin with Hamus Hosting
Are you interested in Bitcoin mining? Mining Bitcoin can seem complicated to people who are new in the space. Fortunately, we’ve got you covered. Hamus Hosting can guide you through the process. Zero prior knowledge is needed when you start Bitcoin mining with us. Start Crypto MiningWe offer two kinds of hosting services
Standard Bitcoin miner hosting
Both these services offer the same high quality of hosting. With the service standard Bitcoin miner hosting you have control over your own mining pool and payouts. This however requires some knowledge and might not be the right choice for everyone. You will also be responsible for paying the monthly hosting fee on time. A mining pool is a group of miners collaborating to increase their probability of finding a block. These blocks make up the infamous “blockchain” and are generated every ten minutes. Currently every block distributes 6,25 BTC amongst the collaborating miners according to their share of hashing power. Every four years an event called “the halving” takes place. At this point, the block reward is cut in half and so is the monthly reward per individual miner. This may sound bad for business, but the halving creates scarcity in the Bitcoin supply and thus drives up the price.
The computing power of miners is expressed in hashing power. In the beginning hashing power was provided by laptops and desktops. But as Bitcoin price and miner competition grew, a new generation of miners was developed. So called industrial grade ASIC miners efficiently provide enormous hashrate with relatively low power usage per hash.
The downsides to these machines however are significant. Noise levels of up to 85 decibels and drawing up to 16 Amps per unit make it nearly impossible for someone to run these units in urban area’s. Also, filtered, dry and cold air is required to ensure adequate cooling and longevity.
