Living in Canada so I bought an antminer S3 from  http://bitcoinware.net/  the price was lower when I bought it 6 months ago and I had also sent him a private message and he lowered the price for me. Never had a problem with the antminer. 3 weeks ago I bought an antminer s1 and he took 10% off the price.  Running great also! Also bought a antminer u3 for 40 US$ on eBay.  All 3 items where free shipping.  They all run great with very low HW error rate.
Oh and this is my first post so hello to everyone!

I check their site and they as 170 USD for a antminer S3.. Dafuq?

I think it is better then to buy at bitmain or spondoolies directly. Go for a S7 or so, or try to buy a S3 for 100 usd max, on ebay.
If you send him a message you can negotiate the price .I didn't pay 170$US for the S3  Grin
I do agree that the price is a little hight, but having bought an S3 and S1 from him, I can tell you that the products he sells are in great working order.  He stand by his products and answer messages if you would have any issues once you get the products.

Maybe what's needed is an arbitrary decision by an independent impartial small group, if nobody seems to want to come to a decision.

i do it in a very simple way,just like i would do it with a regular bank savings account. i just buy 20$ worth of bitcoin per paycheck. I'm keeping my bitcoins for the long term,hoping it will be worth alot.
that's besides my mining of course  Grin

Now is a good idea to buy some s5/s7 ghs. a virtual antminer s5 costs 0.63BTC  Cool

where do you see that price? when i go on hashnest the virutal price for a s5 is 1.12905359BTC
If you buy it on the market at sub .00055 per Gh/s

Indeed but prices continues continue to slip, I would wait until next difficulty adjustment as it will likely be another big one.

Megatron you get the s5 at that price by buying hash on market.
This is the biggest issue. As they add S7 the prices just continue to slip which you will just about never ROI until the difficulty levels out for some period.  Only issue with that is the price per gh/s may still slip if btc price rises in the near term with the expectation of the halving.

It's almost to the point where playing with Hashnest is a losing game for everyone except Bitmain.

may i know where this "market" is?

Very few are the people who gain profits long term with gambling. And most of the time,if they do,they use complex mathematical formulas to "cheat" and beat the house.

holdem poker is the game i trust the most,because you don't play against the house. It does involve some luck but also alot of strategy,bluffing and "mind games" hehehe!

A couple months ago /Yj2MhG]bitcoins were only $115. Now they are nearly $900. I see this as a huge investment opportunity.

With my Radeon 7850 OC, I'm currently mining at a steady 300mhashes/s. But that wouldn't be very profitable since the electricity cost. I see ASIC miners on Amazon which I know are great for mining bitcoins. For $480, you can get a 40ghashes/s ASIC miner. If you got two, that would be 80ghases/s and earn 0.0183 BTC per day going 24/7. This would also cost about $2.70 per day if it used 750w of power. In one year, you would make a total of $4,623 minus the $986 cost of electricity, minus the $1,250 cost of build, leaves you with $2,390 profit in one year.

My question is, is /5kazuj]bitcoin mining stable? Will I buy the parts and then bitcoins crash or something? Is it really worth mining?

480$ for 40ghs? Something is not right...

191  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you believe we need more ways of advertising Bitcoin currency? on: November 24, 2015, 11:41:29 PM
If bitcoin starts sponsoring a big soccer team in Europe,that would greatly increase it's exposure.

That the best idea i heard today.

However I don't think the bitcoin foundation has that kind of budget. They have to pay at least 20M+ to sponsor a club like Barca or AC Milan

bitpay already tried that with american football last year... it didnt really gain much fame... so they dropped it this year

https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/bitcoin-st-petersburg-bowl-first-college-football-game-sponsored-cryptocurrency/

the problem is not about advertising.. its about bitcoin usage once people start thinking about bitcoin..
afterall there is no point wasting money on advertising if the viewers cannot buy beer or toilet roll with it from their local 7eleven.

and thats why europe doesnt bother advertising Euro's in america.. or why america doesnt advertise Dollars in britain...
so will all you "we need to advertise" fanboys. look passed the 15 minutes of fame and orgasms you will have from seeing the advert. and think about the non-bitcoin people who will see the advert for the first time. and what uses they will see of benefit..

remember 99% of people are not investors, and they wont spend money unless its on something useful.. so concentrate on bitcoins usefulness to common people before thinking of advertising bitcoin

I found out about bitcoin from advertisement. I knew absolutely nothing about bitcoin at that point,and i started researching it and found out how to get involved and i am still learning about bitcoin day by day. The less people know about bitcoin,the less usefull bitcoin will be,it's kind of a catch 22. With exposure,people will get curious about it and gain followings....  Advertisement is not THE solution,but it is part of the solution in order for bitcoin to become what we all want it to be. Just like you say we are "advertisement" fanboys,I can say you are a "usefulness" fanboy...  but I won't. What's funny is for that superbowl game bitcoin was accepted for ticket and concession sales at the game as part of the sponsorship, and the sponsorship itself was also paid for using bitcoin. So not only did they do advertisement,they also showed the usefulness of what could be done with bitcoin. And also besides north america,i am pretty sure that nobody else cares about that "bowl"  You can't compare European soccer to that.

196  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Wow! KnC Neptunes are insanely cheap on Ebay! on: November 24, 2015, 02:23:00 AM
The only miners I trust are antminers. I wouldn't even bother looking at any knc products on eBay..  Why don't you get an S5?
To be fair there a couple of trustworthy miners, including Avalon, spondoolies and others.

I suppose I'm a little biased.  I never had problems with the antminers that I've purchased.  I almost bought a spondoolies sp20 last month but I'm just hesitant when it comes to trying products that I've never used before
