How many bitcoins - none.

Of the 7 services ...
How many are VPs, and what "spec" (ram, disk, transfer) have you promised the users
How many are shared-hosting and what "spec" packages
What countries are the clients from ?
How many IP addresses in use ?
Anything else provided to the clients (doamins, ssl, management etc) ?
Where is the server, what is the spec, when is it next due ?
What payment methods do the clients currently use ?

Including shipping ?

Feel free to start your own thread :p

I'm using adafruit occularis rather than minepeon, but uptime since setting up as a miner control:
 06:43:05 up 22 days, 12:36,  1 users,  load average: 6.62, 6.38, 6.34

Yes.

For the rPI's we collocate the best setup is to have a powered usb hub powering the pi and any peripherals, so you only need 1 power port and 1 network cable - with 24/7 power control you can always hard-boot it (although too many of those will trash teh SD card, so we advise clients send a configured spare to be kept with their pi

I'm looking to pick up another batch of USB Block Erupters to give away to some friends interested in BitCoin.

If you've purchased some of these, and realised the ROI is practically non-existant, I'm interested in taking some off your hands.

Currently difficulty is 26162876 and 26hrs on 50BTC Nets a total of 0.00427516BTC

Assuming a USD/BTC of $100 (it's about $86 as I type this) that's a whopping great 42c/day or $12.60/month *if* BTC rises and difficulty stays the same (and your "cost" to run them is zero). Difficulty has been rising around 20% every 2 weeks, so...

$ income assuming no electric costs:
last 2 weeks of July          6.30
1st 2 weeks of August          5.04
last 2 weeks of August          4.03
1st 2 weeks of September      3.22
last 2 weeks of September       2.58
1st 2 weeks of October         2.06
last 2 weeks of October         1.65
1st 2 weeks of November      1.32
last 2 weeks of November      1.05
1st 2 weeks of December      0.84
last 2 weeks of December      0.67
= 28.76 over the next 6 months (at best)

I'll buy yours your $40 each (paypal) or 0.4 (BTC) - basically you get the next 2 years income in 1 go

Here's how it will work...
* PM me the number you want to sell and I'll reply with an order number and the address to send to
* you post your miners off using a *signed-for* and *insured* service with the order details inside
* on receipt I will send you the money and the cost of your postage by your choice of paypal or bitcoins

Alternatively if you're in/near London, UK I can do Cash-on-Collection

What BTC-GBP rate are you looking for ?

I know someone always happy to accept a few free bitcoins

I'll take 10BTC for £700 by UK faster payments / bank transfer
- drop me a PM

You'd have to pay the VAT on the delivery from China anyway, so it's a "non-issue" (plus as a VAT registered business we can always claim it back).
But paying and collecting somewhere local rather than by WU is a lot more convenient.

So you'll be covering personally everyones losses if it gets damaged in transit and the declared value has been put as 1$ and that's all the shipping insurance will pay you ?

When you've sat an watched a Grandma in a library help a 30-something use their paypal account, you realise it's a lot less about age and a lot more about mental acuity

(300 * 1.99) + vat = 716.40 excluding the customs handling charges. Before any outbound postal costs to get to the end-users etc.

Customs declaration will have to be for their local ccy equivalent of the sender, so the CNY amount on the day of shipping - who knows what BTC will equate to at that point, but if it's ~£100 you'll have to register for VAT

*trace* being the key word - trace in that context means *almost undetectable*

It's probably got trace amounts of fecal matter on it as well, and 87,412 other things you don't want to know about.

There's no real reason the dataset cannot be pruned - i've been playing with a DB copy of a blockchain, looking at ways of "removing" the records for accounts with a nil balance (amount out = total amounts in) where date is > 30 days ago

I don't *need* as a _user_ of bitcoins the whole blockchain, if I could get "balances at point in time" and the journal entries after that.

I similarly dont really *need* (although I might _choose) to have all my addresses maintain a chain of completed transactions - if I could have a way to "move" the balance to another address within my wallet, I could then "discard" that address.

My "real life" wallet doesnt care which ATM each of the notes came out of, I have a "balance" (occasionally) in there I can spend - in fact having that "tracking" decreases anonymity significantly.

A lightweight client is a key to mass adoption (amongst a number of other things).

It's great that my children can empty a moneybox and see a £2 coin and know from the year "that was the one from Grandma on my 6th birthday". It rapidly becomes irrelevant when its a pile of coins getting spent on a beachball - getting the sand out of your shoes becomes much more pressing. In the same way I dont need to know that 4mBTC came from me testing -QT to a non QT client - it's just 4mBTC to be spent, which due to the size and age of the bitcoins will probably cost me more in fees to use than its worth.

Imagine buying a car for £5000 and taking 500x£10 notes to the deaer but you find they cant sell it to you because they came from 702 different amounts of change from your wages, and some are "worth" less when spending than £10 because they're notes only printed that morning, or were made up of 200x5p transactions... in the "real" world £5k is £5k is £5k not some variable equivalent that might eventually be 5k
