Who this is for

Is this you?

You want to hold Bitcoin you mined, not just Bitcoin you bought.
You looked into mining, hit a bunch of confusing information, then closed the tab.
You have read that mining is dead in Australia and can't tell if that is true.
You have $5,000 to $50,000 ready, and want the truth before you spend any of it.

If two or more of these sound like you, the rest of this page is written for you.

Straight talk

Bitcoin mining, in plain English

A two minute read from our founders.

Bitcoin mining means owning a machine that earns new Bitcoin. It runs day and night, and it is rewarded in Bitcoin for the work it does. That part is simple. The hard part is everything around it.

The machines are loud and hot and use a lot of power, so they don't suit a house. The jargon is confusing, and every website seems to give a different answer. Most people who look into it get stuck and give up.

That is the part we take care of. You choose a machine and it is yours. We plug it in at one of our facilities, keep it running and fix it if it breaks. The Bitcoin it earns goes straight to your own Bitcoin wallet.

It isn't right for everyone. Whether it suits you comes down to your budget and how you feel about Bitcoin. We'll tell you honestly on the call, before you spend a dollar.

Home vs hosted

You have 2 options when you buy a mining machine

Option 1: run it at home. Option 2: plug it into our facility.

At home, the machine is yours to manage. The noise, the heat, the power bill, the setup and every repair all land on you.

Hosted with Mining Store, your machine sits in a professional facility run by people who do this every day. Cheap bulk power, 24/7 monitoring and on-site repairs are all handled for you.

That is why most Australians who buy from us choose to host. It strips out everything hard about mining and leaves you with the part that matters.

Here is the honest side-by-side:

Run it at home
Hosted with Mining StoreMost clients
Power price
At homeLike running a second aircon that never switches off. Your power bill more than doubles.
HostedYour machine runs on cheap bulk power overseas. No shock power bill ever lands in your letterbox.
Noise and heat
At homeLoud enough to ruin a home office. Draws about as much as an oven.
HostedSleep peacefully at home with no noise from a machine
Repairs
At homeIf it breaks, you box up a 15kg machine, pay freight and wait weeks while it is repaired overseas.
HostedIf it breaks, our technicians repair it on-site at the facility, so downtime is measured in days, not weeks.

SMSF and company

Buying through your SMSF or company

Plenty of clients buy this way. The fund or company owns the machine, and the Bitcoin mines straight to the wallet it nominates.

We are not accountants and this is not tax advice. Bring your adviser on the call, or send them our notes before you decide.

What we promise, and what we don't

We promise

  • Today's machine price and mining figures, run through with you on the call before you pay.
  • If your machine goes down, we tell you, fix it and credit the downtime.

We don't promise

  • What Bitcoin's price will do. We can look at its past trends with you on the call to see what it could look like.
  • Refunds. All sales are final, which is why we run the numbers with you first.

Fit check

Mining isn't for everyone

Probably not for you if

  • You need the money back inside a year.
  • You want a fixed dollar payout every day.
  • You have less than $5,000 to start.
  • You don't want to own physical equipment.

Probably is for you if

  • You already hold Bitcoin and want to accumulate more.
  • You would rather own the machine than trade the coin.
  • You have $5,000 to $50,000 for a first machine.
  • You want a real person to talk to, not a ticket queue.

01

Where you're at.

What you've read, what you're unsure about, and whether it's you, your SMSF or your company buying.

FAQ

Questions people ask before they book

At home, usually not: household power prices eat most of what a machine mines. Hosted on cheap bulk power, the sum changes. Whether it works for you depends on the machine and today's Bitcoin figures, which we run with you on the call.
