lol I am not caught up in that portion - I am more curious how much it pays and how it calculates that payment - especially as I am out in the boondocks. I have a lot of bandwidth but also not sure if I would want to share that freely - I could just see watching a movie in HD streaming then it drops to 720 because my bandwidth is getting used lol.

I would prolly need to set up a secondary or have a way to limit the bandwidth it uses. I already have to shut all of my nodes off if I want to game online.

i think he says demo because their website still says pre-order and then it wont even let you pre-order. so essentially since you got one before they can be bought on the site, he is assuming it is a demo.

my point is having a unit that is just a demo/prototype (see past mnfgs) mentioned does not mean you are gonna have a working miner with a network to mine on...

with no PR on the project and the head of the project ONLY being able to be contacted by you! It seems a bit of a risk, regardless of the 1 year ROI.

Also, add to the fact BTC/cyrpto has dumped in half in last month in price...does not help any project.

again, lack of info on a project... the fact it is a pre-order with no ship dates and no contact can be made with anyone on the project

well ..that ain't good

But good luck with your sale anyway... I feel anyone buying such has bigger brass ones than the rest of us with the above confusion and lack of contact with Dev.

As long as 'anyone buying your unit" is aware of the 'dangers' and pitfalls of above....and that it is a demo/unit you have ...they have been indeed warned of risks

on this thread..so that is a plus...things would be a hell of a lot more clear if a person could actually get a reply from the developer of these in some manner

I dealt with BFL and I dealt with GAW and Paycoin (usb device) I've dealt with KNC and had friends where after pre-order Neptune device was made was mined by KNC for 9-10 months in 'testing'

like BFL and when released to customers only 3 months and then doorstop  and never to ROI...I've dealt with alpha tech which even took PayPal and had a prototype...never released publicly

the list goes on and on

all the above aside...if you can't get a hold of the place via their www site for months via email and no info on a PRE_ORDER these days you run away anyway

also, BFL has a fine FPGA brick that worked fine and on time before they released before their next releases which never showed up until way, way beyond ROI (SEC shut them down)...so just

having prototypes don't cut it either
---------------------------------------------
but again all the above set aside
---------------------------------------------
1) no way to contact the dev..no info on progress from dev...no prototypes to someone like me, Searing, or Philipma1957 nor even Voskooin ...you and a couple of NZ

folk just don't cut it...I mean really a pre-order page and no contact and no way to ask questions but through you who 'happens' to have gotten a unit or so?

2) network still in test mode.....again back to 'deafening silence'

3) no frigging info of any real note or kind on a google search on this product ..no one has heard of it..and if they have the buzz is that it has been a scam for the last 9 months

the only reason I even posted here was from what I've heard that it was a scam for the last 9 months and I know you are legit....thus my WTH posting of such?

Unless more info on all the above I'd stay away...good intentions are fine..but I'm not sure if even if such a badly run development project ..even if legit...can hang

together at the dump to the crypto prices, we have now..and the epic dump...so that is another boat anchor to what I see as probably a pie in the sky dream project

4) light a fire under the devs ass and get some 'legit' 3rd party reviews out there on bitcointalk and some development news and such...not just everything through

you and a frigging www page link and no reply

hell of a way to run a legit project IMHO..keep it secret with only the pre-order web site it seems and no reply to inquires on your project

also, why are you selling a unit if you think this is such a good project and coming out of development?

Without some more info from other sources (you are legit ..just saying) other sources....this does not pass the 'smell test' in any way at all at this time

perhaps this will change..but the project has a lot of miles to make up....in that like me most people that have heard about this project I talk to have said is a scam

for months now ....sad to say if legit...but hey..what's a guy supposed to think..again wrote off this project back months and months ago....so again am still dubious

in that, it pops up now as legit with the same lack of info and bad management and such...

legit it may end up being, but damn, they better ramp stuff up pronto, I do  google search and this thread pops up that can't be good...tell the dev he needs to step

things up or legit of not his project is doomed

Brad

Sent you a PM. But after 3 tries if not contact at my end...I don't see how he can get this project off the ground....

I sent you my email...he can contact me via that...but right now everyone is wasting their time trying to do anything with this

no real info, no demo units, etc, etc

with the pandemic and crypto crash...he may, if he was borderline, out of the running on this anyway at this time

later

so you cannot trade out the sky coin you earn yet? sorry - i dont follow alt coins much so this is one i am not familiar with - and you can you post what the skybox mini looks like?

because if the return is 20 sky a month - sky is worth around $0.37 to $0.38 at present - so that would be only around $7 a month - that would be 100 months to roi - or am I wrong and the rewards are more? I thought I read somewhere it was 20 SKY per month.

they may want to fix their site because as it is, at least from the 3 browsers I tried, you cannot order from it.

for my perspective, i only care about roi especially if its not btc

Not saying this is a scam..but told it WAS a scam ie 'vaporware' so if not show me a picture of the 'unit in hand' and I'll

show this to the folk who said this is a proven scam. So are you selling a 'pre-order' or what? Makes a big difference indeed!

Not trying to be an ass, but getting 'conflicting' reports on this beastie as being 'vaporware'

Searing

How old are the units? Any issues with them? Best price for all? Do you take PayPal?

yes, ok so there is no diff  to affect it then right?

So, i get that but if you still take more than a year to make roi is it worth it?

let me know what that first months earnings are. curious as to how raspi's are efficient at any type of mining. i poked around their site a little but not sure what they really do. might have missed it, or it might just be over my head.

at the end of the day, it is about roi though - and if its longer than 10 months roi, there is no roi lol by then diff has jumped and value typically drops on all these alt coins. the devs then move onto another algo and coin and repeat the process to reap more cash from us crazy miners lol

what do they pay in? skycoin? or can you opt for btc pymt?

how much power does it consume vs how much you make? I believe they said only 16000 coins would be distributed to those that run the nodes?
