Can anyone help? Tx!

I think you can mail ZTEX or look at ebay if you have chance you can see on

ZTEX discontinued the product, 0 hits @eBay :(
I hope that there are still some device around in the mining community...

hi, hope to buy one too for experimenting purposes. There are hardware which declass this tiny board on the market already.

If anyone would like to sell it??

I have a few ztex clones that are working or partially working, and maybe 20-30 that never came up.  Mostly bad dc-dc or other minor (miner!) problems.  I reworked a few but never found the time to debug the bulk of them.  I can check a few out depending on the interest level.

Digging in the ZTEX bin, we first find the complete, but perhaps questionable devices

Then we find the boards which never even became full miners.

nice,
how much for 1 working one with tracked shipping to Poland (Europe) ?

Hello all,
I am interested too in buying some of these boards...  ;D
cableiso, could you quote working/not working boards, or contact me in pvt?

Thank you,
Alessandro.

Yes, I will check them out.  Give me a few days, have company in town.

Edited for autocorrect error lol

Yea I would love to get one of these as well! hit me up when the family heads out.

Hi cableiso,

Thanks for your reply. Please let me know how many are up & running and how many you'd like to sell for how much.

Thanks,

cryptodjee

Feel free to post or PM offers.  I also have one or two of the single fpga versions (1.15x, maybe?) - good for development

I wouldn't even know where to begin on a price.

Did you ever decide on a price? Still interested in getting a couple of these.

I would be interested in several boards in either single FPGA or dual FPGA configuration if they are working and a reasonable price.  Did you decide what you wanted per board?

Thanks

would any of the old pinidea stuff work for this?

also where is the ztex box currently? I have some "useless" parts I could contribute

I don't think that any of the PinIdea equipment used FPGA but I could be wrong.  As far as I know, all of their equipment was ASIC based and if you still have a DU-1 then I would be interested in PM you about that.

@cryptodjee the OP was looking for FPGA miners and @cableiso mentioned that he had a box of failed miners that never worked for some reason and several of us were interested in seeing if he would sell some of those boards.  I don't know if he has gotten a chance to look at them anymore.

Are you guys figuring out ways to profitably mine crypto with these FPGAs?

There are some coins like Blakecoin using blake256r8 that can still be mined by FPGA pretty well.  Yes, baikal has a Giant-B that will mine blake256r8 but those are pretty pricey and they will do other more profitable coins as well.  As some of the memory-hard algo keep forking, FPGA can sometimes still be viable with some work.

Yes, I am on the lookout for FPGA miners working or not. :)

i want to sell:

- 108x ZTEX 1.15y (4x Spartan6 LX150)
- 70x Lancelot (2x Spartan6 LX150)
- 10x Cairnsmore1 CM1 (4x Spartan6 LX150)

PM me

Could you PM me your contact info or adjust your "accept PM's from newbies" settings? I'm interested but can't PM you.

I'm interested as well.

I believe that several of us on the forum would like to purchase some of this equipment.  Unfortunately, scammers are a way of life for the crypto community and so trying to perform some due diligence is critical.  Do you have dated, photo proof that you have the equipment?  Do you accept Paypal?  If you accept crypto, what crypto and do you accept escrow?

Is the equipment is currently running or have you seen it work?  What is its condition and where are you shipping from?

Thanks for your time.

I cannot PM you but interested in purchasing.

Cannot PM but for sure interested! Please contact me. Thanks.

Our company has a cache of ztex 1.15y compatible boards.
The project in which these were used ended a while ago, and the boards were sitting in storage since.
We're in the process of testing them - there're approximately 100 that work flawlessly, and are for sale.
Accessories (USB cables of different lengths, 28 port hubs, power cables, 750W and 1300W PSUs) are available as well.
The preferred payment method is paypal.
Please send your proposals to ztex@atw.co.hu or in PM.

This is the same response that I posted to the last person that said that they has ztex boards.

I read your post, and tried to answer some of your questions already, some explicitly, some implicitly.

I have no photo, but of course can make one or two.
Yes, I do accept paypal (it's the preferred form of payment).
If crypto, then BTC and yes we can do escrow.
It's not running currently and has been tested so they definitely work.
Condition is 'used' (not sure what you mean by the question), shipping is from Hungary.

Here's a picture of most of them:

I had sent you a PM but you might not have seen it yet.  How much do you want for each miner and how much is shipping to the US?

Thanks

Hi,

Anyone wanting to sell ZTEX 1.15y FPGA boards? I want to buy a couple.
