Some changes are about to come to Blueboxes, mainly affecting the future Blueboxes, not so much the current ones.

First of all, the price of the co-location service is about to go up from 10 Eur pricing to 30 Euros.

That is still not much, since, after all, you are getting free electricity, maintenance and all, not to mention that might well be that just sending that Bluebox to your house could cost more than that, so still dirt cheap, no change in there.

Another change coming is that if you pay your order with Telos, you will get 30 percent discount on the price of a Bluebox, this, however, does not apply to the rental deals, only if you buy the box straight away. This actually makes the difference between rental and direct buy go quite much bigger now, as before you were basically paying roughly 20+ percent extra, while now you would be paying about 50 percent extra using rental compared to direct buy with Telos.

There is slight unclarity in the announcement, but as far as I recall this has been talked before too, and therefore not just future Blueboxes, but all Blueboxes, even the already existing ones, will get access to so-called Bluepool.

So far Bitcoins Subsidium has been mined individually by each Bluebox, but in future this mining will be done through a pool called Bluepool. Then every box will get an equal share of mining rewards.

This is however not all. As you should be aware by now if you been reading previous articles in TELOSNEWS.COM, xminers are about to come and make blueboxes efforts quite ridiculous compared to them as one xminer mines Bitcoin Subsidium with the same speed as 320 Blueboxes was Pascals estimation.

Does this mean there is no point in mining with Blueboxes anymore? No. Because Bluepool will have so-called bubble miners, which will be having roughly 20 percent of the total Bluepools mining power, and this 20 percent is divided equally between all devices. So no matter if you are using more or less powerful miner, you will be getting an equal share from that 20 percent.

Yes, this does mean drop to 1/5th of what you are getting during current pre-mine since right now 100 percent is shared between blueboxes, although independently, but it is still quite nice that they are taking care of the small ones too and even in future giving a decent share to small ones, which in this case are blueboxes, as well.

Since people have naturally been asking about how much rewards a bluebox gets, the rewards page has been updated as well.

And regarding rewards, you will be able to affect the amount a bit as starting from next batch you can order more nodes to your Blueboxes, up to 64 with full-on nodes or 32 if using 50/50 split between nodes and mining. Notice however that this option is available only if you pay your Bluebox with Telos, meaning it isn’t available through the rental deal.
