Hi, I want the 1TH/s miner. How many Bitcoins will it cost?
In the front page it show's new reduced price on Dragon 1TH. Use BTC-e rate as far as conversion from dollars to BTC. |

You will notice price drop in SF-28. Also reminder there is discount if you order multiple discount rate is shown in starting post in group buy. With expandability hoping that might save a few a little money  And you will now see SF-28 and SF-70 no longer have a future shipment date, and have moved to the < 48 hour shipment date from order. As always happy mining! |

Thanks for your great customer service. There were issues but they were dealt with quickly and efficiently. Thanks Thank you very much for compliment truly trying to push customer service with this rental program. Glad to see it's noticed. With this second version quality and customer service were somethings we wanted to focus on with our rentals. Thank you for being a customer. Hopefully in a few day's I should have our round 2 going |

And if don't mind a little more electricity B2 now with price drop ships also < 48 hours. Has had good luck on poolside hashing. All worth looking at if you are in market for a new Scrypt miner. As always happy mining! |

There is a marketplace on here to sell hardware. Make sure to take pictures as without them you will get no interest. Becuse of decreased earnings of GPU mining they are bringing far less then they were months ago. On here people will most likely want escrow used.
Also ebay is a choice remember paypal, and ebay fees. But much larger customer base.
There is a chance it will need to be parted out to get maximum profit. I personally parted out my GPU machines. Also allowed me to keep some high quality PSU's for a rainy day.

If you do power in your ROI. Your best options are the A2 and SilverFish miner's. Silverfish have some great feature's considering price point. Also on resale I personally believe A2 and SilverFish will be worth more. Month's down the line who willl want GAW or Hashra with power needed. With A2's and SilverFish it will let you mine longer profitable if you pay for electricity which most do. For a brief overview of features on SF miner take a look at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=514758.msg7308353#msg7308353 I also made a guide that goes in more detail. |

I want to truly thank all our customer's who made round 1 a great success. Have had a few questions if if any are available we are hoping to have round 2 in 3-4 day's.
As always happy mining!

Does what power supply you use or exact voltage levels matter with ASIC or Cloud mining machines.
You will need to use one big enough to power the asic, depends on which one you use on how many watts needed. If you use a bigger supply then needed it does not use extra watts is i understand question right. EX if miner needs 400 and you use a 500 psu will use around 400 watts, not 500. |

Over the past few days I have been able to test the SilverFish 28 MH miner and have had a great experience so far with it. It has a good combination of hardware and software features I have enjoyed. First I will start off with the SilverFish 28 MH miner itself. It’s something you will notice many great features that I think you fellow miners will like. - Small Form Factor- These take very little space compared to other current scrypt miners in this speed of miners.
- Electricity- The SF-28 is rated for 440 Watts for 28 MH in comparison the Zeus Thunder 28-30 MH miner suggests a 1200 watt supply. For ROI if your electricity is in your equation this will add up overtime, and allow you to remain profitable much longer running.
- Expandability- With two Ethernet ports they have designed the miner to be able to easily expandable. You can start out with one cable going to network, and from there just link the miner’s together. If you decide to buy multiple miners you will really like this feature.
Second a little bit about the software. This is possibly one of the easiest installs of a miner, simply run the application on your computer and it will automatically find your miners and blades within them. - Setup Time- Upon opening the box it’s as easy as plugging miner or miners in, and clicking on a single application you are up and running in no time
- Expandability- The software is made where you change the pool once and it can change the setting’s for all of your SF miners within seconds. No going to multiple IP’s or bulky or advanced software. It’s simple and works great.
- Live Stats – You can use the SF application to monitor 1 or 100 miners the software put’s total hashing rate where you can look and see for your entire set of miners. Quickly the ability to go deeper and see each miner’s hashing speed and then each blade if you want.
There is also a SF-70 if you want something bigger. And the SF-70 is rated at 1100 watts still under one Zeus Thunder 28-30 MH recommended power supply! To order simply go over to the Lee group buy located at: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=514758.0Shipping scheduled to start shipping on 6/15. Discount on order of multiple miners. |

I'm surprised that there hasn't been a commercial giant in this market yet. Thus far, there has been no mass-produced 3D printer and the market is wide open.
There are actually quite a few out there if you look into the "Maker" community. Still very clean and nicely done on printing. |

Using a VPS for mining would be best on Brand New Coin launches. Since the diff will be low and you can deploy the instance rather quickly you should be able to rack out some coins pretty fast.
Sustained mining on a VPS is not really a good idea, you will either break even or loose your shirt.
The new coin might just be a pump and dump coin, most of the coin value would be very low. Your VPS provider will most probably terminate your VPS for taking too much resource. They would probably not terminate your current instances if you are current on your payments. They want more of their resources to be used. They may however limit your ability to use additional resources. Mine was terminated within 8hours of CPU usage of more than 80%. They would do this since you are affecting other people's resources. Mining is also against the TOS of a lot of vps providers. With VPS they monitor for the most part CPU usage. It can possibly make a little money if you picked right coin. But if you truly want to mine CPU coins in long run you would probley be better off buying a good CPU. But i would do some serious ROI before going CPU mining right now with expensive cpu. |

Thanks, KWH, for your response.
After reading your response, I looked at the "hardware" forum section for mining, on this site, in order to find out what hardware people are using if they're not using GPUs. It all seemed a bit depressing, if I am to be honest. It seems as if the whole concept of mining is doomed to become obsolete because in order to be profitable, one must keep buying new hardware. I figured that finding lower electricity costs would be the main thing to worry about. However, it almost seems that even if a person were able to have free electricity, not a lot of money could be made because it will just get harder and harder to mine enough profit to cover the initial cost of the hardware. Am I right? This gives me a lot to think about.
Thanks for your advice and honesty. The funny thing about finding "current" articles is that if you do an internet search for bitcoin mining, good luck finding a "current" article because, as you have pointed out, fewer and fewer people are doing it. Therefore, any article that I find concerning ways to do it, are bound to be relatively old, and they talk about using GPUs. Not many people write about what people used to do, they focus on what people are doing now. And if you don't already know what people are doing now, and what the new thing is called, how do you know what to search for?
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. A look at the "hardware" forum was a big help.
Lower electricity is always great. Sadly GPU mining there are some out there doing but for most including myself It's not worth it. Before buying any equipment decide of a ROI time-frame. If you have cheap electricity this will help. I personally don't suggest GPU's for most. As far as mining there are two main choices Scrypt or straight bitcoin for most part. If you are looking into scrypt you might take a look at the new SF-28 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=650608.msg . If you compare the watts it uses compared to amount of GPU's to get the same it will show why I suggest asic. But GPU ofcourse will be mining a different kind of Scrypt. As far as the day's of using computer with no investment it has passed. Just make sure to do some math and decide best option for you. |

Still using and reviewing unit. Software is extremely impressive. Was easiest install how it detected the miner automatically. They have made it very easy for those who buy multiple unit's to change settings for all units in a matter of seconds, and only doing it once.
Will keep using and let everyone know more, as I believe this is first post of SF-28 showing in hand on this forum.
Id love to get my hands on a few of these Contact Mr. Lee/PCFLI in group buy here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=514758.0 . There is discount's for multiple. Should start shipping on 6/15 . Already Pm'ed him as usual Glad to hear good to see you again. |

I received a Dragon Wed and for the past 2 days it has shut down after being on for several hours. It's in a server room, so staying cool doesn't seem to be the issue. Once I unplug the PSU and plug it back in, it fires right up. Is that a sign of a bad PSU? It's one of the 1200w PSU.
The 1200 Watt should be a better power supply. So its good new's that is in it. One handy tool I found during my GPU days is http://www.amazon.com/Thermaltake-Automated-Supply-Oversized-Supplies/dp/B005F778JO/ for telling if a PSU is acting within spec. Can test each PCI-e 6/8 pin and many other specific things. It's truly best way to diagnose a PSU. But as far as questions I can think of As far as PSU without testing in person: Are you losing power at all temporary? Even just brief outage. Other: What does real time monitoring show after a few hour's if that is when it happens? Do you a screenshot of it might possibly help? Sorry to ask more questions, but hoping some of those answers might help diagnose. |

Hey Lee - I'm an old Dragon customer and have not checked your thread in a while.
The A2 Terminator is interesting but I don't see specs on the first page. Is the $6779 listed the full delivery price?
Expensive and I have been out of Scrypt since asics came around. But maybe it's time to get back in.
That is not the full price.Currently he has a special not sure if it is still on. The full price is around $9700 to $10000 if I remember correctly. $6779 would be a decent price though  Lee That price is just for hosted miners. You are able to pay that upfront and mine the rest, once you pay rest of it off it's yours. But it is not shipped for that price. In a few days you will be able to get the SF-28 and SF-70 shipped. You can look at electricity they are not as energy efficient as the A2's. But still compared to hashra, zeus miners a huge difference. You should be able to run SF-70 for around 1100 watt's. The less then zeus thunder 28-30 suggests for it. Currently A2's and the recent addition of SilverFish are ones to go for on electricity usage. |

Some Scrypt mining love here show's the A30 MH and brand new toy the SilverFish 28MH . Thought I would post as I didn't see in here yet you can see the size of the SF-28. If you want to see more of the SF-28 lots here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=650608.0 |
