located in New Jersey, USA


I have done lots of mining,  but all with pc's as controllers or antminer s-1's, s-3's direct to a gigabyte switch.


Looking to run the gridseed blades on wemineltc.com   but I am flexible about sites.  Never ran a rasp pi but have run a lot of gear.

My skills are more mechanical with pc's then soft ware. But I have been around pc's since the  1970's and they were mainframes then.


I know that a better quality  sdxc card  like

helps with a  rasp-pi  and that is  about it.  I read a lot of micro ones over heat with 24/7/365 op time


I see you are in europe shipping will be too much most likely

Shipping from EU to USA is easy.

Prime Air Mail (5-7 Days) = 3.1 €

But it could be quicker if you choose a seller already in USA.

Why is this Rasp Pi so much more expensive then retail? I assume the majority of the inflated cost is for the pre-installed SD card software?

You should be able to find a Pi that's a good 50% cheaper then that. I am not sure what the software entails, (other members more experienced can hopefully back this up) but it should be easy as pie *zing!* to pre-load the software on a blank SD card personally, no?

EDIT: A fellow east coaster I see! I see you are a trusted member, so If you are still in need you should check out amazon.com. I can use my Prime account to get one to your door in 2 days, to which you can reimburse me in the means easiest for you (BTC, Paypal, whichever).

been busy with a lot of other gear and real life.

was looking for an easy poof solution.  all offers are too costly going to just sell the gridseeds down to 10 my pc runs 10 very well .  boliu 's setup looked really nice just don't think it is worth what he asked.

selling off the gridseeds will work as well for me.
