Depending on the considerations above and your electricity rate, it could make sense to send your ASICs to a mining hosting site. The hosting business takes a “hosting fee” in return for setup, ensuring proper operations, electricity and ongoing maintenance.

There are many hosting options available in the US / Canada which can be found in a database `here <https://hashrateindex.com/farms>`_. This database contains some of the top facilities like Blockware, Compute North, Core Scientific, Frontier, Box Miner, and many more. Please make sure to do your own research before making any decision on engaging a colocation business.

Once you have your address, navigate to the settings or account details page in the respective mining pool’s interface, and add the address to pay out to. Commonly, payments are paid out either periodically or after a certain threshold of ZEC has been earned.
