Bitcoin mining is done by specialized computers. The role of miners is to secure the network and to process every Bitcoin transaction. Miners achieve this by solving a computational problem which allows them to chain together blocks of transactions (Bitcoin’s famous “blockchain”). For participating in this service, miners are rewarded with newly-created Bitcoins and transaction fees.
Hashrate is the speed at which a computer is completing an operation in the Bitcoin code. The hashrate is a measure of how many times a computer can attempt to complete this algorithm puzzle every second. The higher hashrate means increased opportunity for Bitcoin Mining and receiving.
With the amount of hash-power that you received when you purchase your mining package, you will be able to use any number of public calculators that you are able to find on Google and plug in the amount of hash-power in the mining calculator of your choice. The calculator will let you know the amount of Bitcoin you should be mining per day. You can then match that number with the amount of Bitcoin that you mined in your Bitcoin wallet to verify that you are mining the right amount of Bitcoins.
No, Advanced Mining is a hardware reseller offering hosting services. The consumer purchases actual ASIC hardware and NOT a cloud mining contract. Customers can choose to utilize our superior hosting services or have their hardware shipped to them, subject to shipping and handling charges. Please refer to our Terms and Conditions for details.
All mined Bitcoins are distributed directly into your AM Wallet.
Bitcoin mining difficulty is a measure of how difficult it is to find a hash below a given target. The Bitcoin network has a global block difficulty where valid blocks must have a hash below this target.

After purchase (and contract signing if applicable) the Admin staff will do their best to activate a member’s hashpower as soon as possible, but there are a number of factors that can affect the initial activation, including but not limited to:
Verifying all payment and contract information
Hardware setup and availability at the data center
High volume of orders and network traffic
Issues with a member’s payment or account
AM has up to 30 days to fulfill a paid order but often does so in less than 7 days.

They are specialized hardware developed specifically for mining at the highest efficiency. AM currently offers the latest state of the art S19j ASIC Pro models.
While in the past, it was possible to mine bitcoin with a powerful graphics card, it has become very costly and inefficient in overheard costs (electricity and heat) to use basic consumer hardware for mining.
Antminers are generally expected to last around 4-6 years. However, our hosting services include regular maintenance and cleaning by dedicated staff at our data centers. Furthermore, we offer 1 warranty replacement for each piece of hardware during the total term of your hosting services with us.
Because mining hardware lasts between 4-6 years, 5 years of hosting makes sense from a cost perspective as maintenance rates are locked in for the life of a contract. However, Vbit believes every member should be able to make their own educated decision on hosting terms, as it offers plan durations from 6 months to 5 years.
That first year of hosting is unaffected by the changes in our products and you will still have the same service for any package you purchased.
When your first year is completed, you will have the option to renew your hosting or have the hardware shipped to you. This is the same for all members whose hosting services have been completed.
Bitcoin mining computer hardware requires technical knowledge to setup, a well ventilated space and huge amounts of ongoing electricity at a high voltage to operate. You will incur very high fees to set-up the space and high ongoing electricity bills to operate, not to mention the loud noise these computers generate. So just let us worry about setting it up and maintaining it for you while you decide on where to distribute your hashpower and collect your rewards!
If your hosting term has ended and your hardware is still functional, you will be contacted with the options to either renew your hosting or have the hardware shipped directly to you (fees will apply). Hosting rates will vary depending on the changing costs of electricity in the future.
AM has several data centers in Canada and the United States
Yes, you may purchase hardware at cost and have it shipped directly to you for shipping and handling fees.
