Title: I have two questions, looking for answers
Post by: Darthswan on December 29, 2013, 03:38:16 PM
I have two questions:  one around power options and the other is around buying bitcoins to buy miner machines.

First with the power options:

I am looking at alternative power sources for the miner.  Has anyone had any success with either solar panels or wind turbines?


Second with buying mining machines.  I've noticed a couple of mining machines companies only accept btc for their equipment.  What is the best way to get btcs to make these purchases?  I have coinbase now, and I plan on using them to acquire btcs.  Is there another cheaper option than coinbase?

Thank you in advance
