Bitcoin Forum

I have a large amount of older hardware (~1.6 W/GH/s) that needs to be moved out to make room for newer equipment.  I'm looking for someone who can provide it a new home.  You would pay only for shipping costs (equipment is in the US), and would keep the bulk of the BTC mined.

Only interested in talking to folks who have enough DC space to take at least 2MW of equipment.  I can be reached at btcequip@gmail.com.

let me guess we have to send you BTC for the cost of shipping first.

Yeah lame scam.

Gtfo.

Can I pick it up in person?
Let's see, for 2 Mw of older, 1.6w/GH I will need an 18 wheeler, right?
Let me know where to drive one!

The "shipping" scam.

Unless you pick it up in person.

I'll drive a UHaul to your location if you're based in the US or Canada.

Im on the road, I'll just pay a trucker buddy to pick it up for me and pay him, where you located? :) I love free stuff :)

This shits getting boring. More and more scammers every day on here >:(

By shipping, I mean freight shipments of crated servers, based on a negotiated contract with an identified receiver.  In-person pickup would be fine, but you would need a lot more than a UHaul. :)

This business has certainly seen its fair share of scams, and obviously one picture isn't proof, but here's one anyways (of 10 racks of equipment):

Again, only interested in speaking to folks who have enough DC space to take at least 2MW.  btcequip@gmail.com.

 

You have all this mining power and yet never even created a bitcointalk account?

gonna need more unique proof, since what im seeing appears to be racks of SP10 units, which are closer to 1w/GH efficiency and worth a lot more than 'free'

Negotiated contract with an identified receiver?

What city are you located in?  I can do local pickup and even give you some cash for your trouble.

old boring scam strategy ...


pay the shipping 1st.. lol

Obvious scam is Obvious. 

 :-\

Let's try something simple...

Since the entire thing here rests on the ability to move the stuff from where it is to where it needs to go...

WHERE IS THE HARDWARE LOCATED?

I doubt OP will be back, its an obvious lame scam attempt and he's been found out.

I just hope nobody was stupid enough to send him an email and / or pay for shipping.

There is no hardware and he's certainly not giving any away.

still nothing to say of location? I really want to see this be a non-scam, see womeone walk away with rack upon rack of SP-10s! but dreamers gotta dream ;)

As previously stated, the hardware is in the US -- Arizona and New Jersey, to be specific.

Not looking to make money off shipping; interested in simply finding a new home for hardware that is being replaced with newer, more efficient equipment.  We would make money by taking a % of mined BTC on the back-end.  Ideal opportunity for someone who has available & cheap power/space.

have you got any pics that have been taken by you?

OK,

sign me up. 

PM me with exactly what hardware is to be given away, address(s) where I can pick it up, and I will arrange for LTL or FTL transportation.  I will personally travel to your data centers with the freight company to gather the equipment.  That way you do not have to hassle with shipping. 

Great one... ;)

Take photos on your magical journey to the dream world ;)

where you are located?
city

may be you can find some guys here from your city and they can pick from your home
so no need of shipping
just post your city and they will pick it up

I am in NJ.  I will pick up however much you've got.

I'm in NJ and can help you load your truck...

I can fly out and help load your truck.....

Not sure if you caught but in OPs last post he mentioned that he is planning on getting his profit from these machines in the form of a cut of the BTC mined AFTER the transfer.  I am not as convinced as most of you that this is a scam all together,  but I am guessing that the cut they will want from these machines will be too high to make this venture worth it for anyone.

I'd be totally cool with that.

Yes, per the previous poster, the business model here is: you get the hardware for free, mine with it, and I get a portion of the mined BTC.  If you have cheap power, you'll make money.

Again, for anyone who is interested, please email: btcequip@gmail.com.  I am not interested in providing someone with just 1, 10, or even 100 servers.  You need to be able to take at least 2MW (1500+ servers).

(Also, I'm not interested in buying hardware -- not sure where that came from?)

Sorry...that was me and was a misclick...I have removed it

btc the amount of equipment you are talking about must already be in a DC.  I am pretty familiar with a Co. that does a lot of the DC work in NJ.  Are you in a place like an IO or Morgan or a more private situation?

That really is a shit ton of h/w

Will ups ground shipping work? 6 bucks for that should do it. And i have a little solar panel thats hooked up to an outdoor light, if i rewire it for this badboy then i will have ample amounts of power. How many ghs were you pulling anyway?

I live in Upstate NY, I will drive down and verify for the members here as I don't have the capacity to host so many units currently. No strings attached (The trip to NJ is worth it for White Castle and Pizzaland alone!). PM me your info and we can schedule a time that would work best for you. Thanks, and take care.

Regards,

Zachary

Parents live in NJ, gives me a reason to go visit them :) Im sure they would love it

this is a scam

2 MW of 1.6 w/g doesn't add up from your pictures and timeframe...

who's equipment did you buy that's 1.6 w/g?

Exactly!

This has got scam written all over it. Lets look at the facts:

New account, no real pictures or proof, repeatedly wants to be contacted by email, mentioned only wants paying for shipping in first post but then says local pickup is possible but hasn't replied to numerous offers.

100% SCAM!

Of course it is....I think a few of us were just havin sum fun...lol
Who in the world would give away a few million dollars worth of equipment!
hint...answer: NOBODY
 ;D ;D

And bought 1.25PH/s of it.

My name is Mike Gogulski, and I'm a stateless Earthen mouth-breather and a bitcoinaholic.

btcequip is someone who has reached out to me for a vouching. We probably haven't talked more than 200 minutes fnord in the past 20 years, but I know him, deeply and well.

At the moment, I don't know what he's up to. He posted a "free" thing with a picture of a rack-row of gear. I spent 30 minutes on the phone international until I could get someone to bridge me into local directory assistance for the last area code of his I knew, only to be met with "Well, there's only Darlene {Surname} here."

His name's not Darlene.

I'll get some more details and come back to y'all on this thread. I don't know what the game is beyond what you've read here already, but I do know that (ugh) "btcequip" is a man of rock-solid integrity, who I would trust with my life.

Peace,
Mike

:D

Seriously, though, you're saying he's 'disappeared'?  Seems odd for a person you know "deeply, and well".  At least he bothered to log in 2 days ago :)

He hasn't disappeared. He works. He does stuff. He's credited by name in manpages you probably haven't read.

This all seems legit to me guys, this could be the deal of a LIFETIME!

Ha, I should hope so - software should be self-documenting ;)

But that aside, I was referring to:

That makes it sound like you at least can't get hold of Not-Darlene {Surname} over the phone.

I'm sure you'll get in touch and maybe he'll pop back in here to give some more details.  I wouldn't fault him for not doing so, though.. it's not like there have been particularly serious offers :)

Eat flaming death.

First off, i drive and own a semi truck.... This is not exactly how you do buisness, but i guess u would need to find a customer... But still.... Its gonna cost $10,000 at least to pickup and ship to another location... Free... Haha...

Yea will someone send me 35btc...?? Its free right???

And.... Ok lets say you do find someone to move this stuff, then u need to contract the shippment out, get it confirmed and send order confirmation... To broker the load is gonna cost as well....

I have delivered servers, to facebook and amazon... And information seems scarce in this post.... Title says free, then all the terms... Its a good joke... But go ahead and prove me wrong...... If you can....

So, my not-Darlene friend has some more non-info for y'all.

First, there hasn't been any serious inquiry to this offer since it was posted, either PM or email. No, the square footage of your mo m's basement doesn't help.

Second, consider carefully the implications of this:

s

That's TWO MEGAWATTS. It's a big heap of gear, and draws a big mess of power.

I did talk to my friend, non-Darlene, tonight. He's not actually *that* concerned about this. He's got other shit going on. But he and his partners would rather unload this stack of capital now, in collaboration with a buyer willing to agree to a reasonable NDA and consulting support agreement, than to see it all end up as heavy-metals pollution in someone else's river.

If you've got serious interest in it, either PM or email me or Google me and then do the same. Let's you and I start to work out the parameters of discussing a serious deal.

Peace,
Mike

One more thing:


So there is an opportunity here for someone to optimize for infrastructure costs.

Wait...how did you suddenly become the person running this thing...two replies ago you couldn't even find the dude.
What the hell is going on here?
I, and several others, have posted multiple replies saying we are ready willing and able to take the equipment, all we need is some basic information like, you know, WHERE THE FUCK the stuff is.  The fact that THOSE replies have been totally ignored or replied to with more BS like 'I only want to talk to people who can take more equipment than is reasonable for anyone to take' and now you come along to vouch for the guy and then mysteriously take over is well....bullshit.
Just let the fucking thread die...this guy doesn't have six million dollars of equipment to give away.  It was a fucking scam that didn't work.

iglasses, dude.....what are you talking about ?  clearly they have all this hardware, did you not see the pictures to prove it ?   ;D

This threads getting more weird every day.

Who's got the equipment, who knows who, is there any equipment, why are offers of collection being ignored, why would anyone throw valuable mining equipment into a river :o.

I think it was Mr. Jones with a hammer in the library :D.

perhaps it was BFL trying to hide their equipment before they got raided ?  now they are hemmed up with the feds and that's why nobody replies ?   ;D

Impossible...BFL never had 2MW of equipment!  lol

They're obviously in no rush to get rid because offers of collection were made ages ago.
