Title: [INTEREST/WTB] GekkoScience Compac F 200-400 gh/s # EU-region preffered
Post by: cygan on July 12, 2022, 10:02:43 AM
i am of the opinion that if you have been holding BTCitcoin for years and want to understand everything, then you should also try mining yourself and at best practice it yourself in order to understand all the interrelationships (hardware/software) in this topic ;)
that's why i have dared the first small steps with my usb antminer u2 at the beginning of this year and now I want to dare another bigger step and treat myself to a few GekkoScience compac f 200-400 gh/s to be able to operate them on the gekkoscience 7port usb hub - a rpi 4 with 8gb ram is also ready to go 8)

that's why i created this thread to maybe find some honest and trustworthy sellers who might be able to make me some good offers.
preferred is the eu region to save any customs fees

Bitshopper.de is the authorized reseller for the EU region. He got forced into some extra work for CE registration but, from what I understand, should have sales re-opened soon.

i know the authorized reseller too - i ordered the 7port usb hub there last time ;)
unfortunately the usb miner i was looking for is not available at the moment... :P
must have to be patient, which is perhaps also better... because then perhaps the BTC price rises and i must then pay less satoshis from me ;D

edit: maybe someone from Bitshopper.de is also registered here and can give more information?
