CaptainMining ASIC Hosting: Services and Terms to Confirm

Before starting an ASIC hosting project with CaptainMining, ask for a written proposal that defines the services for your equipment. The scope can depend on the exact models, cooling requirements, quantity and available capacity. Use this checklist to clarify what your offer includes and what requires a separate charge.

Buying miners, relocating a fleet or planning an expansion? Request a hosting proposal for your project. Tell us what equipment you have or want to acquire, and the questions you would like the team to address.

Receiving and setting up your equipment

Confirm who arranges shipping and which costs are included. Ask how received machines are identified, how their condition is recorded and what checks occur before activation. Your proposal should specify any installation or configuration charge and the steps needed from you.

Request an estimated deployment schedule that accounts for equipment availability, delivery and site capacity. An activation estimate should identify its conditions; it should not be read as an unconditional promise from a general blog article.

Power and cooling

Have the operator confirm compatibility with the complete model reference and intended operating mode. Ask how power is billed, whether cooling is included, and which additional recurring charges apply. Confirm the currency and whether applicable taxes are included in the quoted amounts.

Review air-cooled ASIC hosting or hydro ASIC hosting according to the machines involved. Neither category should be assumed to include every possible accessory, repair or infrastructure change without written confirmation.

Monitoring, communication and maintenance

Ask what operating information you can access, how issues are detected and how the team communicates with you. Clarify the difference between monitoring a machine, diagnosing a problem and performing a repair: these may have different responsibilities or charges.

• Who is your contact for a technical problem or a billing question?
• Which actions are covered by the recurring service fee?
• When is your approval required before work or replacement parts are billed?
• How are warranty cases and transport for repairs handled?
• What do the written terms say about planned interruptions and service availability?

Ownership, identification and operating settings

Request documentation identifying the equipment covered by the agreement and clarifying ownership. Ask how machine records are maintained, who can authorize configuration changes and how your pool and payout settings are established. Keep the relevant purchase records and service documents together.

For a larger project, explain any reporting or approval requirements your company has before accepting the proposal. If you need evidence about the facility or its operating practices, ask for the information relevant to your decision rather than relying on an unsupported headline claim.

Contract length, deposits and the end of hosting

Read the actual proposed term, including minimum commitments, renewals and any rate-adjustment provisions. If a deposit is required, confirm its purpose and the conditions under which it is applied or returned. Do not assume that all deposits are automatically refundable.

Ask what happens if you want to remove, replace or relocate a machine. The agreement should explain the notice process, any outstanding obligations and responsibility for packing and return shipping. For a long-term deployment, these details deserve attention before the first shipment.

Turn the checklist into a clear proposal

Send the exact models, quantity, cooling type and preferred start date. State whether you need equipment purchase and hosting together or hosting alone. Add the points you want confirmed, especially recurring costs, service responsibilities and reporting needs.
