From past sales experience im pretty sure my current asking price is in the sweetspot based on the quality of the coin and the fact im patient.

I'll absolutely not accept anything <2BTC btw, so biding 1.5btc or 1.7btc wont suffice Wink

I realize this is a silly question to most of you, but I have one of these USB deals but I really have no idea what it's used for. Obviously something to do with mining but besides the use of graphics cards generality from NVDA or AMD, I'm in the dark. If it's a long explanation than no biggie!

Short answer: these mine bitcoin better than power hungry GPUs. Or at least that was the concept when they were first released.

Now they are pretty much just nice collector's pieces/decoration/conversation starters

Ahh that makes sense..bit surprised that they were able to keep up (at least for some time).  Thank you! Certainly a cool piece of history.

they actually overwhelmed the network and began the crazy growth as the other asicminer/antminer/bitfury products came out

Well that I can believe  as fast as crypto took off (eventually). However, my GUESS..is that hardware not directly attached to the CPU,  and small in nature,  would eventually (as time proved) never be able to keep up with the larger GPUs...or am I way off? Appreciate the lesson, this is really interesting to me!

SHA256 is very simple, a basic input->SHA256->output, which is why ASICs could be built for it as they are hardcoded to  run many parellel copies of the simple code

Very nice book!!!
This is most likely the only place you will get a chance to get Mike Caldwell's (Casascius) signature .
Seemingly, well worth the half bitcoin price Cheesy

Good luck with your sale.


Thank you MJ J

True that Mike Caldwell's signature is quite rare.



does a 2013 shipping invoice for his coins count?

Yes... as long as it's a real sig, it would count....
I have an old check that a musician signed to cash it out, and I consider that a real autograph

huh, something ill have to doublecheck one day. I kept the entire packaging contents of my delivery including the heavily casascius-stamped exterior and PGP docs. figured it can sell for a high price to the right person one day
129  Economy / Collectibles / Re: [WTB] Casascius 1BTC Gilt Graded on: October 05, 2017, 07:51:21 PM
is it being graded a necessity? I have an excellent ungraded gilt coin im selling for 2.25BTC that would fetch an excellent grade if you took it to ANACS.

Depends who you ask.  I prefer ungraded, but some like having the tamper-proof case.

i find airtites get scratched and scuffed on the outside very easily, but keep the coin inside safe and sound

130  Economy / Collectibles / SOLD: 2013 Casascius 1BTC silver/Gilt coin (FUNDED) - only one owner on: October 05, 2017, 07:46:00 PM
SOLDUp for sale is another gorgeous silver/gilt coin from my collection.

Its a 2013 gilded silver coin, one of 700 made (1Ag6 was actually the last series AFAIK), and in excellent condition. I was the first and only owner of the coin, and moved it directly into an airtite capsule using lab-grade nitrile gloves the day it arrived.

Ive attached images and a gif of the coin below, with multiple angles to demonstrate just how pristine it is. The coins been in the same airtite, locked in a safe, untouched for almost 4 years now. Any smudges or scratches are just the outside of the airtite,  as you can tell by comparing different angles of the coin

Im looking for 2.25 2.15  1.95 BTC

133  Economy / Collectibles / Re: [AUCTION] Casascius 5 btc S1 ('Error bitnickel') brass coin on: September 28, 2017, 11:17:06 PM
Premiums and general interest aren't very high for the 5BTC nickel, plus it's a lot of $ and probably not a ton of buyers in your area.

I see. I find it extremely difficult to figure out a strategy for these coins. The current BTC+BCC (bitcoin cash) value is about 5.5 btc, if one were to open the seal. But that wouldn't feel right. But if btc moons and bcc crashes these coins could very well end up being valuated less than 5.5 btc. Agh!

If you're not in a rush, im sure there's buyers out there in the 6.1-6.3BTC range.

135  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Bitmain looks like they're releasing a 15GH/s DASH miner called the AntMiner D3 on: September 15, 2017, 10:24:52 PM
What I don't get about D3 and Bitmain is why did they release the 15GH unit.

The could have milked everybody with a 5GH then 10GH then 15GH at the end, perhaps one year from now. Ppl would buy anyway.

Did they want to kill competition from other producers?

I think it would've be smarter to play it slow and nice while doing R&D and inside mining only.

because someone with the budget for 15GH would buy 3x 5GH miners

such an active topic for the world's top manufacturer of miners!

speaks to the 'set-and-forget' ability of their equipment. If it runs fine for the first month, then it will almost certainly run smoothly forever. (As with most simple electronics)
138  Economy / Collectibles / Re: [AUCTION] Casascius 2013 0.5BTC, loaded, with certificate and hash in blockchain on: September 10, 2017, 01:09:44 AM
0.63
139  Economy / Collectibles / Re: [WTS] Microsoul Coins on: September 10, 2017, 12:53:19 AM
Hard to judge a fair price since almost 0.1BTC is at stake of not actually existing for the collection. massive shame really but the coin market was really trusting in 2013-2014

Im only interested in the 0.05 peice, but most of its worth is at risk Sad
140  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: 1080Ti Specific - Best mining option on: September 07, 2017, 11:06:45 PM
I am aware  of all PSU differences.
I also believe,that 99% of PSUs made in the same place,some city in China,probably called PSU-city...thats how they make it,they build a new town to pruduce one specific thing.
I saw a whole city that makes socks only.
So...to the left goes PSU with brand label,to the right goes PSU with some local label for 1/2 or 1/3 of the original price.
They both have gold or platinum certificate,and they are the same.
You're free to choose if you wish to pay double price for a label.

they really arent all the same and no, most of them arent made at the same place, you are just being silly.
But I do agree that there is a lot of bs regarding PS. I probably installed and sold over a thousand in my life and the most expensive ones have the same amount of defects/returns.

Most of my rigs runs on gold PS (but bronze in my computers) and a few of them on platinum but only because there was a deal and/or thats all that was available the day I bought them.
Fun fact, I had less problem (no problem at all actually) with cheap bronze Rosewill than I had with gold Corsair or EVGA.

My experience is pretty much the same: run the PSU within its limits, and it will last you well. Ive used over a dozen various server and ATX power supplies (mostly for BTC mining) and all worked fine. I went for gold rated models mostly, and many i actually bought used locally (typically gamers downgrading it when they upgrade an sli/crossfire rig)

However, my understanding is that generally the psus made with slightly better quality tend to show it through more precise/stable voltage, whereas cheaper ones might be a bit sloppier under higher loads (ie: <11.8V, or 4.85V). particularly for bitcoin mining, this isnt a problem IMO. But for performance desktop systems (#pcmasterrace), its known to be a cause of stability problems.
