 Is there a way to buy a miner in a mining grid (like at Blockware), but connecting it then to ocean? 
 HOSTED MINING IS MOSTLY A SCAM.

EITHER HOST YOURSELF OR DO NOT BOTHER. 
 Someone had to say it!
 
 NOT YOUR ASIC, NOT YOUR HASH. 
 How is it a scam? 
 really! now! 
 a little moar headsup bro!       lmao      hearsay/dyor  864781 
 U misspelled mEthr   mfr! 
 I would have to disagree with you. I have 6 miners hosted with a small family run operation in Iowa. I would have to pay .50 per kHh at my home. That makes running my hardware at home unreasonable with BTC prices at 62K. I pay .07 per kWh with the team in Iowa. I can point my hash power anywhere I want. 
 I gotta agree.
I live offgrid and am one of the few people who didn't have a terrible experience with compass.

Although once the asics had paid for themselves I terminated the contract.

It IS a trusted 3rd party and that's objectionable. 
 I agree with that. Where do you point your hash? 
 But if you are gonna do hosted mining (or already are), yes you can use Ocean. 
 I got rugged by blockware solutions. All hosting services are scams. Don't do it. Just buy bitcoin
