What you actually get when you host your miner with us

"You host it, I earn" sounds simple — but what does hosting really include, and what does it cost? At Captain Mining we keep it transparent: you buy the miner, and we handle everything else in our secure Quebec facility. Here's exactly what's included, the real pricing, and how to know if it's right for you.

Everything that's handled for you

When your machine is hosted with us, you're not just renting cheap rack space — you're getting a fully managed operation:

• Setup & installation — we validate, configure and install your unit, and it's hashing fast (typically live within 48 hours).
• Clean Quebec hydroelectric power — stable, reliable energy in a facility built for mining.
• Professional cooling — industrial ventilation and dust filtration for air-cooled units, or a closed liquid loop for hydro — stable temperatures 24/7, no overheating.
• 24/7 monitoring & on-site technical support — we watch the machines around the clock and step in when something needs attention.
• Maintenance, firmware updates & troubleshooting — handled for you, so you don't chase downtime.
• Security — an access-controlled facility with fire suppression and industrial-grade security.
• A live client dashboard — track your hashrate, temperature, uptime and earnings from your phone or computer, anywhere.

The result: +98% uptime and genuinely hands-off passive income. No heat in your home, no noise, no 2 a.m. troubleshooting.

Transparent pricing — no surprises

We publish our hosting pricing openly. It's the same simple structure for air-cooled and hydro:

As a concrete example, a typical Antminer S21 (around 3,510W) runs roughly $175–200 CAD/month in electricity, plus the $50 maintenance. You always know what you're paying.

Air-cooled or hydro — which hosting fits?

We offer both. Air-cooled hosting supports the widest range of miners (Antminer S-series, WhatsMiner M-series, and more), is more affordable to get into, and is the popular default. Hydro hosting uses liquid cooling for more hashrate per watt, lower noise and longer hardware life — for hydro-cooled flagships like the Antminer S21 XP Hydro and S23 Hydro. If you're not sure which suits your machine, that's a quick conversation.

Why host instead of running it at home?

Honest answer: it's not about beating your home electricity rate on paper — it's about everything around the machine. A modern ASIC is a 3,000W+ space heater that runs 24/7 and sounds like a vacuum cleaner, and your home panel can only handle a unit or two before you're tripping breakers or pushing into Hydro-Québec's far pricier commercial rates. Hosting lets you scale beyond what a house can handle, skip the heat, noise and setup, run at professional uptime, and avoid the operational headaches entirely. For anyone who wants passive income without becoming a part-time data-centre operator, that's the whole point.

How it works

It's three steps: 1. Pick your miner (or let us recommend one). 2. We validate, configure and install it in our facility. 3. Your miner goes live and starts earning — while we monitor and maintain it. You watch the dashboard; we handle the rest.
