Where your invoices are, what each status means, what the monthly report shows, and how to download the PDF.
Basics
Once a month you receive one document that does two jobs: it is your hosting invoice and your performance report for the month. All of them are kept on the Invoices page.
What is on the Invoices page
Order confirmations: one per machine order, with the number, the date, the machines, the site and the price.
How you pay for hosting: the choice between a monthly invoice and autopay. See Autopay explained.
Monthly reports: one line per month. This is the list you will use most.
Earlier invoices: hardware and hosting billed before this dashboard existed. Press View invoice to open the original PDF. Machine purchase invoices are here.
The Monthly reports table
Each line shows the Month, the Invoice number, your Avg hashrate, your Uptime, the Bitcoin mined, the Energy in kWh, the Amount and the Status. Click the month to open the full document.
Status
Meaning
Due
The invoice has been sent and is waiting for payment. A Pay button sits next to it.
Paid
We received your payment. The date is shown.
Report
You pay hosting with autopay. The month is a performance report, and the Amount column reads Autopay.
Inside the document
The document opens with who it is Billed to and the Amount due. Under that:
Your month in dollars: Bitcoin revenue, Hosting and electricity with the kWh used, and Profit.
The month's key figures: total BTC, mining BTC, rental BTC, electricity per bitcoin, uptime and average hashrate.
Three charts: Hashrate and uptime, Bitcoin earned, and Cost per bitcoin vs market price.
By site: the same figures for each site where you have machines.
How to pay: the amount due, the ways to pay and a Pay button.
Raw data: tables Per machine and Per day, for anyone who wants every figure.
If you have a credit, it appears as its own line and lowers the amount due. If you pay with autopay, the document is titled Performance report and shows How the bitcoin was split in place of an amount to pay.
The PDF is the same document, ready to send to your accountant or keep in your records.
If something does not look right
Reply to your invoice email or write to hello@firsthandbitcoin.com with the invoice number and the figure you are asking about. We check it against the records for that month and answer with the figures.
Good to know: A sent invoice does not change afterwards. A credit on your account is shown as its own line on your next invoice.
