He won't believe it when he's going to check his SMS again ! ;-) Extended vacation! He should start his own mine at this point. |

So I am looking to get into mining, and wanted to see if any one had a used antminer s3 laying around they would like to get rid of for cheap. Would like to be some in the US preferably but doesn't have to be. If some one has one Locally in New hampshire. I would love to pick it up t save on shipping.
Thanks,
The question is what kind of price point are you looking for? I'm sure you can negotiate some people down. But s3's are saturating the market |

How about a unique paper wallet document that can not be duplicated and is limited in its production ... that contains public and encrypted private keys...... would anyone buy them??? Why does a physical bitcoin need to be made of a metal..
Just the way it's come to be I guess. Metal is solid and can last some time. I thought that crazy woodcollector guy did something with wood bitcoins. |

Compac PCB prototypes were ordered today, only about 1.5 hours behind schedule but a fair amount of that was because I spent the extra time designing a new BM1384 breakout board on which I can more effectively test parallel and string configurations. This coming week I'll be working on beefy regulator design which will end up going on the TypeZero (and probably other things that are way behind schedule), and once the new boards come in and Compacs are tested, I'll start Amita testing with the new breakout board. Hopefully there's no trouble and I can get the Amita design completed soon.
There will be no bulk discounts for the Compac. The price is the price. If you want to middleman and resell on eBay, I reckon that's fine but your inventory cost will be the same as anyone else's. I need to go back over pricing with the new design and get a bead on the actual costs so I can reevaluate the sale price, but hopefully $20 is still within reason. The Amita will have the same regulator as the Compac (I need only change two parts, I think, to get the higher voltage range out of it for a two-chip string), and then a second chip, second heatsink, 40mm more PCB and probably another dollar in support components so if the Compac sells for $20 hopefully the Amita can sell for $30.
So, question. Assuming we can get, say, 1000 chips from Bitmain, how do we want to divide them up? We could do 600x Compac and 200x Amita, or 700x Compac and 150x Amita, or something like that. Where's demand? How should we apportion things? Additionally, if Compacs cost approaching $20 to make, making 600 of them means about a $12K investment to run out the full batch. How much of this should we try to out-of-pocket, and how much should we try to gather - and by what means - before ordering materials for the batch? So basically, should we attempt a pre-order to pay for parts and get everything done in one go, or should we build as resources allow and only sell in-hand miners (at reduced and somewhat drawn-out quantities)?
Not one satoshi will be requested until after prototypes of the final design are dispersed and thoroughly tested by trusted members of the community. Do not trust anyone claiming to represent me if he acts in contradiction to this policy.
My opinion is that a preorder isn't a bad thing if done in reasonable quantities and in a transparent manner. I'd buy a few of the USB miners for funsises, but I'm really waiting for the TypeZero. I have a fever and the only cure is more cowbell! Err..hashrate. EDIT: Sent you a PM on the cables, btw. I second that. In this situation it would be a welcomed preorder. I'm sure if you take investment funds then everyone would want a share. I wouldn't mind preordering. Only because you guys actually have numbers and designs that have worked. It wouldn't be too much of a risk to the community because it is $12k, rather than BFL numbers that were bigger... |

Needs more cowbell! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCd0OjjCz88On another note some type zero heaters, err miners for after summer might be awesome. |

Hello, I might be interested in some random keys. May you give me some examples of the random games I will get?
Thanks
Anything between $3-$20. I bought two randoms which were $3.99 and $6.99 they both work |

For like $100 you can pickup s3's from the computer hardware section. More hash per dollar, and better efficiency. |

Is it possible to mining BTCitcoin without any capital/asset?
No... You need a computer, a mining software and electricity... those are all assets. well not really, you can mine with a raspberry pi, instead of keep on your desktop, less electricity wasted with the first and mining software is free btw Even if you are using a Raspberry Pi 2, it will be a very small amount of coins made. I think gpu/cpu days are sadly over. Yes you could do it with a Raspberry Pi but it will not bring in a lot. And I would be surprised if you could pay for the Raspberry Pi from mining in a timely fashion. CPUs only do like mh/s even block eruptors are a better payout since they are low watts, high hash compared to CPU/GPU. CPUs and GPUs are only good for algorithms that don't have any ASICs yet. |

Bump. Anyone the slightest bit interested?
EDIT: Just going to close this up. Maybe as a future project it would be cool. Tomatocage was full with escrowing other deals. No other escrow, that I could see offered a multi-input agreement.

Thanks again Phil. Your driving this bus so you do what you thinks best. Let's find a block! Good luck, what are you guys paying per Gh? |

Only thing I can think of is latency. I believe the pool's server is in the usa so probably westhash would be better but I'm no expert.
Nicehash recommends westhash for people in the US while nicehash is the rest of the worls. |

Hy there,
i find it rather interesting, what hardware can and actually is used to mine the XMR.
Post whatever you like, if you own a farm or if you stress your Desktop to get a buck out of it.
It would be helpful to get a dedicated list of used hardware, miningspeed, used Software, used wattage and what you are going to do with your mined XMR´s (only if you want us to know)
I am looking forward to a nice thread with lot´s of contributors!
Kind regards,
elrippo
Try moving your thread to altcoin discussion. But from what I understand it is a CryptoNight Algo I would assume GPU's are the best. |

I offered to use escrow, if you're not interested kindly fuck off.
i want to be escrow if you want. this ll be the first experience for me  you dont have any trust now how you can prove that you will not runaway with their money? Noone was born with trust. Everyone had a zero trust at the first . All escrow didnt have any trust at the first. İf you dont give a chance a new one, he/she never gets a trust . Thats true, but trusted escrows now have made trades in the past before offeting escrow service Many big name escrows have been around about 2 years. Some of the lesser escrows have been around for a year. |

If I can work out strings at those voltages, it means the bottom-end efficiency for the TypeZero should be comparable, if not better.
Please have my bitcoin babies if you're telling me we can push about half the w/gh compared to current miners. That's like 40% better and it is beautiful |

Lets get silver ones minted instead, I do not want to buy brass/copper. It could be done pretty cheaply since no security is going to be needed and they can be pretty plain.
Well I sent a message asking about silver coins three days ago to their email. No response as of yet. |

These look cool. Use this line of code to do up to date prices. [img] http://btc-priceimg.herokuapp.com/img/3[/img]  =$3.00 Wow Thanks Ill try that! No problem. It is also good to put a USD price next to the bitcoin price |
