I was thinking.

PinIdea has some du-1's available but they require you to purchase 5 minimum. This is pretty much the only x-11 asic you can get right now without removing an arm or a leg.

I've purchased from them before and was contemplating 5 more du-1's. I figured I'd let anyone piggyback on my order @ their BTC cost + shipping from my location. Shipping these out individually should only be a couple $ within the US.

They're charging 0.066528514BTC ea shipped or whatever the equivalent dash price at the time. I'm thinking I could match that if you just want less than 5.

I can assist with the setup as I've already a few of these running.

Interested or have any thoughts or questions? Let me know, via pm or in here.

Funds may be transferred to: 1J58WZ948mo3QCzhpZKWuVgaYvZQ6tjiTF

Which is currently the only address which I accept BTC at.

Please list the transaction ID here or contact me beforehand so I don't mix anything up.

If there is a large amount of interest we can do multiple buys from pinidea in orders of 6-10 as soon or as late as necessary.

Thanks.

stage 1 ends march 22
stage 2 should be paying/ordering: march 22-through the weekend.

list:
isoneguy 5
gren 1
searing 1
philipma1957 1

Searing is pretty good.

I have sold some gear to isoneguy.  Deal was smooth.

I should get one of these.  Put me down for one.

Long wait to May but why not price is cheap.

Hey, I know I'm new here and don't have much clout yet, but I'd be willing to verify myself in whatever way you see fit. 9MH/s @ 12W would be an ROI in just under 2 years. But the good news is at 12W, power costs should never really be an issue. Plus with the altcoin market skyrocketing, and the wider adoption for specialized altcoins which provide a function other than just securing the blockchain (like CureCoin, for instance) I think the recent spike in altcoin prices may be more than mass hype. So anyway... I'd most certainly be down for one. I'd get more, but I'm pretty broke at the moment, and plus, I figure since I don't have any references here, you'd feel safer with a smaller transaction.

So with that being said, and forgive me for my lack of knowledge, but how would this transaction work? I would send you the coins and then PM you the transaction ID with my shipping info? I'm located in the Northeast US. I have 100% feedback on ebay if that means anything lol. Thanks for the details.

I really understand the demand for x11 hash power.... but only 9mh/s x11 just seems like it isn't worth it. I have a Baikal mini miner (and oh how I WISH I'd bough a quad when they had stock) and that is giving me 150mh/s @ 40W. 5 of those USB ASICs is 45mh/s @ 60W! Does each one require its own powered USB hub?
 

I couldn't get baikal to take my money...they just flat out refused to be available when I was spending. Oh well.

You could probably run 5 of these off a high power usb hub. They require 1.4amps each, so if you're running it directly from your pc's usb3 port you'll only be able to get 1 of them running properly. (something about power limitations on embedded usb lanes).

Thanks for your support!

I have a couple used du-1's on hand if you're in a hurry and don't need a new one.

I'll send out reminders once stage 1 is over.


I'll put you down for one. Payment is in BTC and I'll request it when the order is ready to be made. You could pay now, and either pm me the transaction ID or post it in here as a reply. Or wait until after the 22nd. Your choice. I'm not overly concerned with your ebay feedback as long as you can pay...and I can deliver what you've paid for, it should work out.

If we have 10 or more paid I can run the order early. If I run the order early we can run a second buy.

I'll collect shipping information after payment confirms.

Thanks!

I might be interested in a used one. Would the price be lower since it's used?

I just run them on windows.

There are a couple tricks to getting them functional:

1. You need the proper usb to serial driver.
2. You need a good usb cable. A data/charge cable will do fine.
3. You need to supply each of them with 1.4amps of power.

The pinidea software reports them at an average of 8.2M but poolside reports them anywhere from 7-20M so it's difficult to tell exactly.

If you're rocking a 1070, you should not be mining an asic coin...you should be doing zec or whatever nicehash has for you.

I actually have 2 rigs with mostly R9 290s in them. Was mining ETH until just today when I switched over to ZEC. When I'm not using the 1070 for the gaming/HTPC it's in, I also add its hash rate to whatever the AMD rigs are doing.

What I have been doing for quite a few months is mining whatever with the rigs and then trading or shapeshifting it to Dash. I had about 100 Dash when the price went way up so I sold a couple of $1000 of it in case it crashes again. I still have 70 Dash left and plan to hold it to see what happens and add to it with the other coin mining plus the Baikal ASIC I already have. I've been following Dash for quite a while and I believe it's the best actual crypto "currency" out there. It's what Bitcoin was supposed to be.

That's why I really want more X11 ASICs. It's a shame the Pinidea USB ones are all that's available right now but I might just bite the bullet and buy 5 of them anyway - even though I think they are a poor 2nd best to getting more Baikal miners.

If only Baikal would give me a straight answer about when they will have ASICs for sale I could decide whether to wait for them or just buy 5 or even 10 of the Pinidea DU-1

Was on legitskype baikal channel. At first was told they had one a900 giant. Then told they were
mistaken and the person was told to tell me it would be "several weeks" quote

fyi

No, it would be the same. Possibly best to get a new one for longevity purposes. Plus, the only du-1 I wasn't using has been called for.

OK, thanks anyway. I'll monitor the post to see if you're able to get some stock.
