MiningStore

MiningStore offers Iowa-based ASIC colocation for client-owned machines and a separate Managed Mining Program. The distinction matters: ordinary hosting sends machine revenue to the client's mining pool, while the managed program has its own contract, fee and monthly Bitcoin-settlement mechanics.

Iowa colocation matched to fleet and cooling

For ordinary hosting, clients ship machines to Iowa or have MiningStore procure them; the provider says it racks, powers, monitors and repairs the fleet while the client retains the hardware and the Bitcoin produced. It reports 11 Iowa facilities across 62.5 MW in the MISO and SPP wholesale-power markets.

Intake starts with a machine list, timeline and air- or hydro-cooling requirement. MiningStore maps the fleet to a site, so capacity, power profile and cooling infrastructure determine fit. Its public material says air-cooled capacity is open and hydro capacity is limited or selective; a universal hosting-rate card is not published.

Serial-level operations and constrained facility access

MiningStore says it tracks hosted machines by serial number and MAC address, provides daily down-miner and replacement updates, and keeps repair and maintenance logs tied to billing. A dashboard is described as showing uptime, hashrate and earnings, with on-site technicians handling monitoring and repair.

It reports 99%+ facility uptime with continuous monitoring and redundant power, but that is a provider claim. The hosting agreement determines the applicable SLA, exclusions, remedies and uptime measurement. Visits are by appointment rather than represented as unrestricted site access.

Managed Mining Program changes the settlement model

In the Managed Mining Program, the customer buys the ASICs and remains the hardware owner while MiningStore sources, deploys, powers, monitors, maintains and repairs them. The published program uses a 24-month hosting agreement with flexible six-month renewals and describes industrial power pricing passed through between day-ahead and real-time pricing.

The program states a 7.5% management fee on revenue and a 20% performance fee on profit. After monthly power and fee settlement, MiningStore says it sends 80% of profit in Bitcoin to the customer's wallet. Those terms are program-specific, including its stated 10-unit Whatsminer M60S-or-newer minimum and two-to-three-week typical deployment, not a generic colocation quote.

Iowa fleet-fit hosting versus Compass's pool-led flow

MiningStore suits an owner evaluating Iowa facility fit, serial-level maintenance visibility and a quoted hosting arrangement for a particular fleet. In ordinary hosting, it says revenue goes directly to the client's mining pool; contract-specific wallet and pool arrangements should still be confirmed.

Compass is the closer contrast for a marketplace-led multi-facility route where the customer supplies pool credentials and the pool sends rewards to the configured wallet. MiningStore's managed program adds provider-mediated monthly settlement and stated revenue/profit fees, so it should not be evaluated as identical to either ordinary colocation or Compass hosting.
