Canadian Maple Leaf received Cheesy

Thank you for the easy transaction.

Wow! That NAFTA did wonders on the postal delivery times, huh?  Wink

I buy, but I dont do the eagles so much because of their extra cost in minting. Do you have any Generics? Id pay spot + 2.50 an ounce if it turns out you need the cash for the eagles, otherwise spot + $1 for the generics Smiley
Cool collection!!

Hi! I have no private mint, but I do have some junk silver. I do enjoy collecting, but had to sell my BIIIG stash a few months ago when spot was about $42. I found most of my other stuff at face value, just getting boxes from banks, asking around for "old coins". You'd be surprised how much junk silver you find by asking.

I had almost 30 troy ounces of silver, and only 7 of those NOT junk silver (these silver eagles did not count in that batch). It was cool...will probably hunt again after the holidays.

Could you let me know what models they are from this link (memory amount ? dual or single fan etc):
http://xfxforce.com/en-us/products/graphiccards/hd%206000series/6870.aspx

I am assuming they are matching/identical cards as well ?

Thanks,
Allan

Hello,

It is exactly this model, yes, both the same:

1GB, centrifugal fan, very nice. Let me know Smiley

Once there are enough FPGAs on the network, difficulty will increase and GPUs will become unprofitable or barely
profitable for anyone paying for cooling + electricity [probably most people with more than 4-5 GPUs]. It's a self-fulfilling prophesy.

I often see this quoted but it is nonsense.  Higher difficulty will make FPGA even @ $2 per MH even MORE prohibitively expensive.  Higher difficulty benefits those w/ efficient GPU (like 5970 & 7xxx series) and moderate to low cost electricity the most.

I think you will see a difficulty spike will kill demand for new FPGA not drive it.

Take hypothetical FPGA miner $2 per MH.  150MH = $300 in cost.  Running 24/7/365 @ 15W.
Break even @ current difficulty is 25 months.
Break even @ 30% difficulty increase is 33 months.
Break even @ 50% difficulty increase is 40 months.

Currently today one could buy 5970 for <$500.  Say 3x5970 + powersupply + other components = 2.8GH for $2800.  Running 24/7/365 @ 1000W.

Break even @ current difficulty is 17 months.
Break even @ 30% difficulty increase is 25 months.
Break even @ 50% difficulty increase is 32 months.

Difficulty increases close the gap but $2 per MH is still beat by anyone w/ $0.10 electrical costs (or less).  I am interested in FPGA but these dire predictions of them killing GPU are simply unwarranted unless cost is closer to $1 per MH installed.

Remember GPU performance per watt won't be static.  The 7xxx series looks to almost double performance per watt (cutting electrical cost in half for GPU miners).  A break even of 40+ months is highly dangerous one risks being undercut by the next next gen video cards.  4 years is long enough for 2 product cycles and we will be looking @ 20nm chips (and other doubling of performance per watt).

Very good info. I guess I would ask the FPGA experts: how often do the FPGA chips increase in performance as well? Do they move as fast as GPUs? Do they follow Moore's law, essentially?

I am veeerrry interested, pausing my own FPGA purchase to see where this goes....keep me updated (sub'd).

I'm still waiting for the pictures, with "proof" next to them!

Will you buy them both ASAP w/ the pic?  Grin

I do plan on putting the pic up, but sheesh, I've sold other things on here already w/ references.... didn't you see the other sales?

I did, but that's kinda how most scams works you know, you put up and sell something, get good reviews, then you scam scam scam! Cheesy

Not saying that you're a scammer but you never know, thanks for the "proof"!  Grin

I might be interested, but not right now, so I'll come looking for this thread when I'm ready to buy!

Its cool  Cool, I needed someone to kick me in the lazy but to put up the pic LOL...they are still here if you want 'em... its approx 600 mh/s you are missing out on  Cheesy

Most ppl arent stating its a scam, but after a week of asking, not a single video or even picture has surfaced. I think its legit to raise some red flags. Extraordinary claim requires extraordinary proof, yet all we're asking is a simple cellphone video or something.

Well, there are things I have come up with for a biz of mine (I actually have one now) and wouldn't want to provide any "proof" in case someone wanted to take the idea. From what I've read, the OP didn't really talk about what FPGA they were using or how they were setup. I think its perfectly normal for them to be protective of something like that, right? Again, they just want some feedback, they don't want validation.
135  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: FPGA Miner Design for Sale to Someone willing to Market It on: September 23, 2011, 05:27:38 PM
I think if this proves to be true, all the members giving this guy a hard time should be banned from purchase. I mean, seriously, you are like fire-ants- piling it on. So what if someone comes on making claims? If he is full of junk, it will come out, if not, YOU will look stupid for making assumptions.

Let them have the chance to prove it. Don't call them "scammers", they never asked for anything from us other than an opinion about their product.

I think if this is true, the value would be great.

Selling 2 XFX 6870's, about 3-4 months old. These were getting about 295 Mh/s slightly OC'd using AMD tool. I am selling them to recover procurement costs.

 Grin I have 1 heatware review (finally - user "ultraimports") and Bitcointalk.org credentials  Grin found here:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=41985.msg536683#msg536683

and...

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=40355.20

Price: $100 EACH FREE shipping via USPS to US only. Any international or faster shipping will have to be paid by purchaser.

Sorry for the bad lighting...


More proof...
