GPU Rent HubMonero GPU hosting

Monero GPU hosting, on our own hardware, since February 2022.

GPU Rent Hub rents dedicated bare-metal GPU servers by the week or the month and accepts Monero for every card and every term, from an RTX A5000 at $190 a month to an 8-way B200 node at $28,010, with no identity verification and no email address on the account.

01 Definition

What is Monero GPU hosting?

A GPU you can rent without anyone learning who rented it, on hardware owned by the company billing you.

Monero is the only coin on our list where sender, recipient and amount are hidden by the protocol rather than by how carefully you use it. That is worth nothing if the host wants a passport first, so we built the account around it: a username and a password hash, and nothing else.

We added XMR in February 2022, after a year as the most requested item in our tickets. We run our own monerod node in DFW-1 with a hot spare in IAD-1, because a payment processor would know things about you that we have chosen not to know. Each order gets a fresh subaddress.

The rest is ordinary hosting. A physical card in one of three US datacenters, root over SSH, the whole machine. The full GPU catalogue covers the parts that have nothing to do with coins.

Def. Monero GPU hosting

Monero GPU hosting is the rental of a dedicated GPU server paid for in XMR, the cryptocurrency whose ring signatures and stealth addresses conceal sender, receiver and amount on chain. At GPU Rent Hub it means a bare-metal GPU in a US datacenter, rented at a fixed USD price for a term you choose, paid by a single XMR transfer to a one-time subaddress issued for that one order, on an account that is a username and a password and nothing else.

Confirmations: 10 (about 20 minutes)
Rate fixed at: First confirmation, updated market rate
Fees: None on payment. No spread.
Minimum: $20 equivalent
Available for: Every GPU, every term, every region

02 Mechanics

How do you pay for a GPU server with Monero?

Four steps. Only the chain takes real time, about twenty minutes of it.

Register

Pick a username and a password. Nothing else is asked. A recovery email is optional, and most XMR customers skip it.

Choose XMR, get a subaddress

The checkout issues a fresh Monero subaddress from our own node for that order, used once and never reissued, with the exact amount to send.

Ten confirmations

Your USD credit is fixed at the updated market rate at the first confirmation, not the tenth, so the wait cannot move your number. Spendable at ten.

Deploy

Provisioning takes two to six minutes on stocked configurations, and the order you approved is the invoice, line for line.

No payment fee, no spread on the quoted rate, no minimum holding period. If our node falls behind the chain, as it did for two hours and twenty minutes on 6 August 2026, orders still settle at the amount they were quoted at. That incident is written up on the status page.

03 Worked example

What does a Monero payment actually look like?

Real arithmetic with a real catalogue price. Substitute your own rate on the day.

Say you order one RTX 4090 24 GB in PDX-1 on a monthly term. The order totals $390, and on a day when the updated market rate is $278.40 the checkout quotes 1.401 XMR against a fresh subaddress. Send that amount, and twenty minutes later the card is yours with root over SSH.

Nothing is stranded, because nothing is prepaid: you pay for the machine you asked for and that is the end of it. If a payment does arrive that we cannot place, give a Monero address and we send it back minus the network fee and nothing else, within 24 hours. No fee, no minimum, no questions about what the money is for.

04 Design decision

Why is the price in dollars and not in XMR?

Because a GPU costs the same to run whether or not Monero moved this week. Our power contracts, cage leases and hardware are priced in dollars, so the rental is too.

Price the rent in XMR and either you carry the exchange risk, with a term that cost 1.4 XMR in March costing 2.1 XMR in June for the same card, or we carry it and price it quietly into the rent. Quoting a dollar price and converting it once, per order, ends the question.

And because each order is settled on its own, we never hold your money between terms. A renewal is a fresh order raised 24 hours before term end at the same locked price; leave it unpaid and the instance stops, with 72 hours of grace before the slot is released. Full rules in the orders documentation.

We do not hold customer funds at all, speculatively or otherwise. A payment arrives against one order, settles it, and that is the whole relationship.

05 Prices

How much does it cost to rent a GPU with Monero?

Exactly what it costs in any other coin. Every term is paid up front, and renewing is another order at the same price.

Per GPU-hour is the monthly price divided by 720, for comparison against hourly clouds. Weekly divided by 168 is a little higher. Prepaid 3 and 6 month terms take 5% and 10% off, multi-GPU nodes take 5% to 10% more off, and the two stack. If you need a card for six hours, use an hourly provider.

06 Coins

How does XMR compare with the other coins you accept?

One rule for all seven: rate fixed at first confirmation, spendable at the confirmation count below. Monero is the slow one and the only private one.

07 The forum question

Which hosts take XMR for GPUs?

It gets asked on LowEndTalk and its equivalents every few months, usually with disappointing answers. Here is ours, stated plainly.

Most GPU clouds take cards and invoices, and a few take Bitcoin through a processor that runs identity checks on you. Monero is rarer, because no processor will touch it and taking it yourself means running a node. GPU Rent Hub accepts XMR directly for every card, every region and every term, and has since February 2022. No approval step, no crypto tier with worse hardware.

Comparing hosts, ask four things: direct or through a processor, email or document required, amount fixed before you send or after, and whether money that should come back does. Ours: direct, neither, before, yes within 24 hours.

Private end to end

The chain hides the payment and the account holds nothing to identify you: a username, a password hash, a list of orders, instance metadata. No email to correlate, no card BIN, no name on an invoice. More on no-KYC GPU hosting.

Tor onion service

The dashboard and API run as an onion service, the address PGP-signed under Settings and on the contact page. Orders, payments and deployments work identically over Tor, which we do not flag, rate-limit or log differently.

No processor in the loop

Our own node, our own subaddress generation, our own reconciliation. No third party can pause your payment, ask you for a selfie, or decide later that your account needs review.

08 Limits

What does paying in Monero not change?

Better written down than discovered after paying. Privacy in payment is not immunity from everything else.

The acceptable-use rules still apply

We do not inspect workloads, scan disks or read traffic. We act on what leaves the machine: outbound attack traffic, spam, scanning, and the short list in the terms. The coin is not a factor either way.

We are a US company

GPU Rent Hub Compute LLC is registered in Wyoming and operates from Dallas. DFW-1, IAD-1 and PDX-1 are in the United States, and we answer valid US legal process. What we can produce is limited to what we hold: a username, a list of orders, instance timestamps. The transparency report runs each January.

Payments are final

No chargebacks in either direction. Send to the address shown, on Monero mainnet, from a wallet you control. We cannot reverse a transaction, recover coins sent to a stale subaddress, or restore an account that lost its password.

09 FAQ

Monero GPU hosting questions

Which GPU hosts accept Monero?

Very few accept it directly, because payment processors will not handle XMR and taking it yourself means running a node. GPU Rent Hub does: Monero is accepted for every GPU, every region and every term, and has been since February 2022. No approval step, no separate pricing, no restricted hardware tier.

Can I rent an H100 with XMR?

Yes. An H100 SXM 80 GB is $1,690 a month or $475 a week paid in Monero, which is $2.35 per GPU-hour on a monthly term. H200, B200, MI300X, A100, L40S and the consumer cards are available the same way, in DFW-1, IAD-1 or PDX-1, as single cards or 8-way NVLink nodes.

How long does a Monero payment take to clear?

About twenty minutes. We settle at 10 confirmations on Monero mainnet. The XMR amount is fixed before you send it, using the updated market rate when the subaddress is issued, so the wait cannot move your number in either direction. Bitcoin settles at 1 confirmation, Solana at 32, Litecoin at 6.

Do you charge a fee or a spread on Monero payments?

No. There is no payment fee, no processing fee and no spread added to the quoted rate. The amount you are asked for is the order total converted at the updated market rate. There is no minimum, because you pay what the machine costs. A refund costs only the Monero network fee.

Do I need an email address or ID to pay in Monero?

Neither. An account is a username and a password. No email field to fill, no phone number, no document upload, no name on the invoice. A recovery email is optional and most XMR customers skip it. Skip it and lose the password, and the account cannot be recovered or refunded.

Can I get money back to Monero?

Yes. Since each order is paid on its own, most accounts never hold a balance to get back. If one does — a payment we could not place, or a service credit — request it in the dashboard, give a Monero address, and we send it in the coin you paid with, minus the network fee, within 24 hours. No fee, no minimum, no holding period.

Is there a Tor onion service for the dashboard?

Yes. The dashboard and the v2 API run as an onion service, with the address published under Settings after login and on our PGP-signed contact page. Orders, payments, deployments and console access all work over Tor. We do not flag it, rate-limit it, or log it differently.

Send XMR. Deploy a GPU twenty minutes later.

Username, password, one payment for one machine. Nothing prepaid, nothing left over.
