I agree. But as long as you ship the item and use signature conformation Paypal and Ebay have decent seller protection. So we are not too much worried about that.
The usual method is that they'll mine on it for 30 days, then force a return. There is almost no way for a seller to prevent a forced return via Paypal, so you refund them in full and lose out on the depreciation of the miner. It is sad but very much true. If i sell on Ebay my trick is i put "make a offer" as a option. It essentially lets me check out feedback before selling.That being said it is not foolproof paypal buyer protection is very powerful. |

It's hard to saw with it being GAW. I noticed mine are not consistent either. (Yes I was dumb and tried a few). You can try to ask them, but most answers seem to be canned at this point. I have sent in tickets for other things to them so far only once got a actual correspondence.
I'm guessing within the year we will see some kinda legal action against them.

Seems to be reliable again or me. I did not see my miners going over to failover pools in past 24 hours.
Also nice to see it going back in percentage of blocks found in past 24 hours. Now the pool is above F2P.

Is it standard for one person to have several bitcoin wallets?
Yes very standard. It is wise to use them for different goals. For example I would use one as a daily spend. Easy to get to and send small amounts for what ever you need. One for purchases of medium price (depends on you on this). Then one that is a cold storage wallet you treat like fort knox. With the cold storage you will keep the long term and most money in. |

4 reboots always fixes it that or off for ~10min and on after that  I two have had this on one more then the other of my C1's. It seems to take a power off and wait just a bit, then power up for it to have proper status. |

Signed up and added signature at hero level. I hope i did "2. Add your BIT-X address (with a 3) in the 'Other Contact Info" right. I put the BTC address with 3 from bit-x in it.
Please just let me know if I need to do anything else
*Edit looks like all went good got PM. Looking forward to being part of campaign.

Well one thing that the spreadsheet, nor bitcoinwisdom will take into account is the ddos attacks that appear (somewhat) to be over. If the attacks are generally over then we would have seen a temporary drop in the hashrate that using statistical analysis would not be able to pick up.
I would guesstimate that the ddos attacks will cause the difficulty increase to be ~1% lower then it otherwise would be (or the decrease be 1% more) and the estimate for the next difficulty change to be off by ~0.5% until we are ~85% or so through the difficulty period
well the spreadsheet has real time number which is about -0.50 that is the actually number if we jump now. It has future numbers at 3 and 5 days. Those numbers may be wrong due to the ddos attack. But the real number is for right now. Looking good Bitcoin Difficulty: 47,427,554,951 Estimated Next Difficulty: 47,514,987,511 (+0.18%) Adjust time: After 960 Blocks, About 6.7 days I personally think effect of DDOS is not huge on difficulty. It was surprising though how much it could effect a pool if you watched antpool during. Most miner's should have fail over pools. I'm sure lazyness caught some but majority should be fine. |

thank god for that xD
so with the new updated price will i see any profit do you think?
You will see a profit if you mine now and then BitCoin price gors up a lot. In that case you will be making a bigger profit if you simply buy BitCoins now. It is also a lot less work. I would not promise that. With "electricity cost: £16.82 KWh" and less than 250 GHz of gear it will be hard. Chances are you will be lucky to pay off the gear even at that electricity price and miners you mentioned. Hard? Check out my post above showing the numbers. Even not factoring in initial hardware costs at current BTC->GBP conversions OP is losing money every day by turning those miners on. Even if BTC went up to £350 OP would barely be covering the electricity to run the miners - and that's given the current difficulty, which is going to change in less than a week's time. Maybe I was not clear. But I was not referring to your post. I was referring to the post i quoted. I meant it is hard for BTC to go up and make this profitable. This is because of the amount of money being lost mining each day, it would take a drastic change in price. I think we are in agreement that it is the OP's best interest to not bother to mine with the hardware listed  I put into numbers what you're stating. OP is mining at a loss until such time that BTC goes over £350, which is just going to make him a few pence a day even then... Assuming today's difficulty. We do agree |

Impressive review once again. Do you happen to have prices for what the kits go for? |

well maybe 2 is too far stretched, but 1 btc is possible for sure, (i'm making more with bit-x right now), and with primedice also, i was making 1+ btc in some months
with mining you will barely roi..
I do both. I get a fews coins a year posting and a few coins a year mining. Game is very hard right now. I've tried the mining route and lost thousands. The sig. campaign route creates a little folding money to keep. (Except when there's a UFC PPV, I tend to lose a bit to the books.) Were you mining at home? Mind if i ask how the loss of thousands? |

Everything looks good. You might be able to go up on freq a tad and get more power (OC'ing is against warranty though).
But I would say 11 day's up and no X's or slowdown it is working good.

Hello, bitcoiners! I've been given the opportunity to purchase a Prospero X-3, made by Black Arrow. There isn't a review for them on popular sites, nor are there many comments on videos past "It's big and loud." I'm aware that BA has had problems with their MOSFETs causing hashing boards to burn, but the owner has said he recieved it a year late because they've fixed such problems. I've requested him to run the X-3 for a few days, and so far, so loud, so good. So, are there any X-3 owners? If so, what can you tell me about their performance, reliability, and stability? And, if given the chance, would you trade it for a pair of Bitmain Antminer S3's? Thank you for any help you can give me I personally would rather have the S3's. BA has just gotten a pretty bad name on it as a company. |

Don't know how the 110V grid is made in the States, but in the EU they use 220V 10A breakers (usually 2 per room - one for outlets and one for the lights). I investigated because my PC used to trip these every few days.
It would be hard run anything more than a single S4 in there.
Varies GREATLY. It all depends on your electrician and location. I am lucky that I live on a farm and have two lines going to my house. I was over 12Kw during winter mining. But now moving to summer mining have to go a little smaller. I don't know what we would say normal is. It varies so much. |

I dont think you will be able to sell S5 for 625$ here.
This is the bitcoin forum. We know the price and are able to do the math.
Which you the best for your company but dont expect a lot of sell here.

Well even worse is the A2 for 2 grand. They cannot say they have been selling at that price. We sold a A2 about a week ago for $2,250 on another market place  That would be ebay, sure you will occasionally find a seller that will fork over a premium but watch for a chargeback as a buyer paying that kind of a premium may have more nefarious plans.. I sell on ebay often so I am not trying to down it, just saying to need to be careful... A) It appears most of your sales are Iphone accessories. How did you get to the "completed over 150 total transactions."? Are you saying 150 miner sales? Or 150 sales including non-mining gear. B) Also are you shipping from stock as website says? On ebay your last selling feedback says on S5 sale: "Sorry the manufacturer had very low stock at the time so I had to refund you" . Sounds as if selling then ordering from Bitmain. from : http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=deep_in_the_mine&&_trksid=p2047675.l2560&rt=nc&iid=400874152159&sspagename=VIP:feedback&ftab=FeedbackAsSellerOn: http://www.bonanza.com/users/9967312/user_feedbacks it looks as if feedback from selling miners, but they appear to be imported feedback from ebay on mostly iphone accessories. |

That's fine we also posted on a few other forums and continue to sell on other marketplaces. Thanks for your best wishes though Well even worse is the A2 for 2 grand. They cannot say they have been selling at that price. Wish you guys best of luck aswell. But don't see many buyers here either for these prices |

Are there any simple instructions on how to use this anywhere?
Find and old printer, It will have enough resolution. Remember to print two or more copies and keep them safe (in different places of your home). Print 7 addresses / page, don't waste paper.  If you use an old printer and the paper wallet includes a QR Code make sure to test the code without sending funds. Make sure it's a printer at home don't use public for it. And yes older the better. If it's newer you might see what it takes to clear cache as you do not want your wallet within it. |
