Title: You're so ugly you could be a modern art masterpiece! - Full Metal Jacket (1987)
Post by: vm_mpn on August 13, 2014, 05:30:48 AM
Stumbled across this eBay listing (probably by one of our members) and was glued to these pictures for an hour dissecting every little detail.

This is truly a masterpiece of still life - colors, lines, retired GPU card on the upper shelf or dozens of tiny cgminer windows on the monitor. There are just so many great elements to enjoy. I wanted to share the experience.

No sarcasm here - I'm being serious.

P.S. Looks like most of this operation consumes under 1KW which is pretty efficient.

Looks like somebody bought all of the wrong miners, lol. What's your guess on the total hashrate? Under 200GHs?

52MH/s of gridseed blades
The other two with the brown fans seem to be modified jalapeņo's? Not sure

It is interesting that it seems that they're running an instance of cpuminer per blade.

If just one wire snaps on your clothes that's it - end of story - everything comes crashing down and burns to the ground  :o

Cable ties must be expensive in some parts of the world  ;)

You know what it is, it's an homage to the roots of Bitcoin mining (Even though it's a Scrypt farm).

Makes me miss the good ol' days.  The days before ASICS, when everyone helped each other out, and people actually knew what they were doing.  The days before greed set in.

Well finally, at least one poet left around here  :)

We have that feeling immortalized in the "post pics of you mining rigs" thread.  I love going through there and reminiscing all the old crazy contraptions people rigged.  The lovely personal texts people put "why is so damn hot in here" and so forth.  Ah the good old days...thank God now I can sleep in a cool room.

90% positive these are from user philipma1957's setup, but I've never seen the whole bench from that angle. Really is something.

Just sold one more on ebay.  To the op thanks for the thread it is helping my ebay sales.

It has 12 running as I type 60mh scrypt pulls 1000 watts.  It is at the best case of mess in months but it

does very well for ebay sales and starting newer people .   here is a current ebay add as always lowest buy it now price:

Appeals to the hoarder in all of us.  I get a lot in and out and always sell the ones that run at freq 800 or higher. Keeping the duds for myself I have 6 that won't do better then 600 -700 freq.

The separate cpuminer allows for easy testing of the units.

And it looks very nice at night

I sold 4 gridseeds since you posted this   after fees and shipping net was 560 usd . 

 I then purchased 2 black widows for 275 a gawminers flash sale with 1 month free hosting.

so 4 x 5.2mh = 20.8mh when I first read this thread.

It is now 2 x 12mh = 24mh    and 285 usd in my pocket. 

So your thread  was worth 3.2mh in scrypt and 285 usd in cash .. thank you.

thanks to all that read this and posted comments.

to all lemons make very nice lemonade.

lol the night shot looks cool, I don't think I would sleep at night though with the thought of all that wood and cardboard going up in smoke.  ;D

not that much power for the gridseeds.  12 run under 1k  I sleep right above that room and have 4 different fire/smoke/poisonous gas/explosive gas

detectors.

when that garage ran 13 pc's with 25 gpus pulling 6k watts that was far worse.

Congrats P,

Really glad my post has helped you accidentally... I'm kind of surprised you are reinvesting in other set of miners... What's your calculus here?
