Title: [GROUP BUY/CLOSE] Antminer R1 for Canada
Post by: valkir on October 01, 2015, 03:47:33 PM
Antminer R1 GROUP BUY

My last group buy : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1121237.0

Im doing this to save on border and shipping.

I will buy only the R1 and not the adapter since you can find one anywhere for least than 5$

The R1 is 0.123 BTC (29 USD)

SEND YOUR BTC TO : 14g6E35Ft4msn7JFqV9vCGzegGgVLfFAt1


I will then need a second payment for the shipping when I receive them.

We are already 3 in Montreal to get 1.

This will probably not ROI so dont start talking about if it worth it or not. If you want one to play with it buy one.

I will order next wednesday. (7 octobre 2015)


Just to let you know, one member of this community and I are currently working to modify the firmware so we can choose the pool we want. Will let you know if we manage it.

LIST:

IF YOU STILL WANT SOME LET ME KNOW I COULD MANAGE ANOTHER SMALL GROUP BUY

I guess this could be hard since the stick compac cost me more than that to ship. Dont think I would be able to ship the R1 for that price.

no worries, at that point it almost just makes sense to buy 2-3 of the R1 myself since the shared UPS shipping drops to $8-10/ea

Guess so. I just want to help people that want to buy 1 and try.  ;)
Let me know when you receive yours.

I went ahead and ordered two, without plug adapters.

Might just sell the 2nd one locally (Toronto/Vaughan) or via ebay

Not sure what adapter ew need for the unit. I just saw a picture of the device in the Hardware thread. It doesn't look to be a regular power adaptor but more like an Apple power supply device or router. Double metal header that you have to slide in to switch from US to EU  but i'm not sure.

Should be able to find it and pay a lot less. I mean it was 1$ for it but 20$ to ship  :P

Edit: its 43$ for 6 of them ridiculus

Yeah we can find them with an alternative seller for sure, like Ebay. Just not sure what exactly we need

looks like a US plug tucked away there at the side...why do we need an extra usa adapter for $1 usd then?

its a good question. I actually beleive that you do not need the adapter. look at it:

It looks like it adds a grounding pin, but otherwise serves no purpose (that grounding effect wont transfer to the R1 AFAIK)

Thanks Valkir.  Tell me when you're ready, we'll have a beer.

P.S.: Been busy like hell lately IRL.  Don't worry I'm still there and will come back soon.  :)

EDIT: Just read how you wrote my name in first post... dyslexia?  :P

Do you think it would be much more shipping to the US, and would you be willing?
I don't see a reason to buy an adaptor from the pics we've seen, but the US 'group buy' is requiring it. I guess he already spent money on a batch of adaptors from someone else, and states he thinks it is required to run the unit in the US.
As many others have stated I do not think it is required, but if by some magical chance it is, then I could go pick it up myself locally. Hell I've probably got one laying around.
