Tried to pick up a share of R21x earlier and was too late, so followed up and bought 2 shares of R22x instead!

Will we receive an email when our order ships (assuming it's placed through dzminercoop/btcstore) or just watch for a note here that all orders have been shipped etc?

Still new to bitcointalk and the way things are done here

I bought 2 shares (order 1422) - hopefully it's all good to go? Not sure if I have to post here or not but emailed back with the payout address!

Just ordered 6 and posted payment (order #46)
These still going out tomorrow?

had the same thing happen to me...
2 day priority shipping, shipped 12/16, finally updated and scheduled to deliver tomorrow... almost 2 weeks (aka a difficulty bump) later

I had PM'd you...I have 2 of these I'd be willing to sell for a reasonable price...

My setup has grown pretty crazily since I got my first miners in late November...

First, the main mining area:


Here we have 2 Jalapeños (running at 7 and 8 GH/s) along with 2 larger BFL units (running at 55 and 58GH/s)



This is all plugged in to a USB hub, along with 2 Block Eruptors going into a Surface Pro.
Let's start off and LOL at the fact that as of that picture I didn't realize the end-ports on that hub were power-only, no data, so the Eruptors weren't actually mining.

The Surface Pro is going to be replaced by a Raspberry Pi that I was using when I was still mining in my office. Sadly I don't have a WiFi adapter for it yet so when I moved the mine downstairs as I added hardware (due to noise) I had to swap it out temporarily. It'll be back to running things once I get it WiFi-enabled after the holidays.

Then the latest addition, back up in my office:



ASICMiner Cube running at 38GH/s, connected to a Corsair AX860i.


Upcoming changes:
One of the Jalapeños has just been sold off and shipped today, to be replaced by 2 more Cubes that should be arriving today / tomorrow!

From 15GH/s to approx 150GH/s (soon to be ~200GH/s after I get those cubes) in 6 weeks...
Yeah...this is going to be an expensive hobby

And no, I'm not worried at all about making my money back from all of this or hearing how I'm wasting money.

So I'm 90% sure the following is true:

When you receive funds into your wallet the address is part of that transaction. When you later pay out, the transaction you create references the various transactions you received to get the funds. This is why if you receive a lot of small (say, 0.01btc) transfers and then pay out say 0.5 your transaction size is bigger because it includes references to those 50 transactions it took to make that 0.5.

Every transaction is fully tracked. You can't receive funds with one address and send from another because the network doesn't think that other address has any money.

It really depends if you're trying to mine profitably at what the CURRENT value is, or what you expect (and this is where it gets into risky territory) what you think the value WILL be in say, 6-12 months.

Of course the problem there is that if you expect the price to say, double in the next 6-12 months, you'll still likely make more just buying BTC.

I managed to pick up some miners at <$40/GH but still higher than the 10 that's really profitable...ultimately I don't care.
I'm spending money mining because I want more bitcoins, and because I want to be part of the network that helps further it - it's not strictly about the money at least for me.

Basically Cryptocoins are secure, based on the idea that the majority of miners are honest. Because of that, they all have to agree on transactions, and whatever the majority believes to be true, is taken as the truth and propagated.

If you're able to, for example, put up 51% of the hash-rate for a given alt-coin (Bitcoin has so much hashrate it's nowhere near possible) you can basically all agree on whatever transactions you want, making whatever transactions they want be valid

If you're interested in the technology or want to get a feel for what mining is all about, absolutely. If you're in it just to make money, not so much. The next gen miners will kill its earnings within. 3 months.
