I don't want to deal with hassles of international shipment and payments.  My preference is to meet in person and deal in CASH or BTC.

Ouch... Why im selling mine... Its .17 cents here, but the more you use the more they charge.. I think im upto 19 cents cause im runming 2500watts continuously... Still turning profit, but the next difficulty is gonna chamge that... Big bitcoin flaw... Who wants to mine if there is no profit.... The networknis gonna run into problems unless they start doing 50btc blocks again... As soon as roi goes negative, people will pull their machines... But i guess the true luck goes to thoose that pay 11 cents /kw

this is correct! those are NOT my miners, I don't even own any S2's....not sure why the OP put MY name on the "paper" which is obviously digital, jeesh, the lengths scammers will go to make a quick buck!



edit:changed font size and removed bold since OP removed the pic with my username.

OMG people, stop the absurdity! Read the quote above. He said he would retake the picture with a sheet of paper with YOUR name on it, mstrongbow.
And then, if you just use common sense and read this guy's 15 total posts, you would know he's had these since May 1, 2014 with these S2s (see the post where he couldn't figure out how to set them up) and then had problems with 7 of them. I don't know if you people are ignorant or just lazy?

Yes, I did have a problem where most of my machines stopped hashing.  After troubleshooting for a few days, I was advised to pull out the paperclip and put it back in again.  The PSU's fired right up after that.  Have not had any shutdowns since them. 

If you think the picture is faked, I can take another one.  Any requests?  I am thinking I can set-up a table in front of the miners with a few bottles of scotch, a 338 Lapua suppresed sniper rifle, and my 3 year old son playing with his train cars?

Thanks and good day.

Picture has been removed in compliance with your request.  I did not modify any picture digitally.  That is a genuine picture.  I would be happy to email or txt both pictures to anyone to verify.  I can also take another picture with a multiple 3-d objects or even create a movie.  Or maybe I should just post my entire bitcoin wallet online so you can see my mining history?

This thread has gone from absurd to nuts.  I have repeatedly told people that I don't want anyone sending me money or BTC.  My goal was for a local transaction where any buyer can visually inspect the goods before I accept any payment.

Seems legit and an honest mistake with the photo to me too.  He even wants local pickup which is close enough for me but unfortunately with the low value of btc these would have to come down to like $300 for me to consider them.

I am wondering...if his deal is better than say getting 2 antminer s3's or one asicminer tube in terms of the price per G/h for power need?  By the way, buying two s3's would cost more, I get that.  I am trying to compare the electricity draw need.

The power draw per gh is better on the S3 and the tubes, but it all depends on your cost of electricity how soon you make that back over the lower cost of the S2.  Any way you look at it unless you get free power there's very little chance of ROI.

In the "good ol' days" 2010,2011... We assumed the opposite and everything worked great, because this used to be a community of like-minded nerds who were either passionate about changing the world's monetary system for the better or really into cryptography :P

I use https://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/calculator (https://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/calculator)

Change the power and the difficulty as you like but no matter what I put in there unless I change difficultly to something really small and electricity to zero there's no ROI these days.  :(

That one you can change the difficulty to whatever you want.  I like to play around between 10 - 20% difficulty increase, hope for the best but expect the worse.  I also like that it lets you put how many days out you will start mining so you can throw in shipping time and setup time into the equation.

Don't really want to ship.  I refuse to use paypal or escrow.  I also hate ebay. If I were to ship, only payments I would accept would be bank wire, USPS money order or BTC upfront.  I work M-F from 5:30am to 7:30pm so I could only ship on Saturday.  I still have all the boxes, so if somebody local wants to come take all 10 units and resell them, by all means.  Until then, I will keep dropping my prices until the market clears.

Guys - I have received literally dozens of PMs and e-mails and so far it has been a monumental waste of my time... People flaking, asking if still available, why I am selling, if I will ship, etc.  I apologize if I missed anyone.

BTC > $400 now.  My price is still the same at $300 per machine.  I will not hold machines for anyone.  I am available to do a deal tonight, tomorrow and Thursday.  Time slots from 7:30 pm - 10:30pm.  I live in Stamford, CT 06092.

Call me directly on my cell phone at 917
six
five

eight
seven
zero
one

to make an appointment if you want.  This is first come, first serve.  I WILL NOT HOLD MACHINES just on your word that you are coming.  I did for a member already and was BURNED.  Live and learn.

EDIT -- ALL SOLD
