The $177 per miner is just the 50% deposit. You'll have to pay them another $177 per miner before they'll ship (in about three months), so to compensate you for the tremendous wait you get a whopping 4% discount.
At that point you'd hope for free shipping....

TTravis, Please act as IT Security consultant, not like my literature high school teacher. We all will see what is about to happen.
I can't see that happening He seems to have tried to jump on the ddos bandwagon and advertise himself with it. But some of his comments suggest he's not all that knowledgeable on the subject Well all that server protection is behind tons of firewalls and DMZ's, but you also need to have the money to buy the sophisticated hardware and power that said hardware. Then port blocking, and watching the incoming and outgoing traffic. It gets deep and complicated, and takes time.

That's easy. They're not being used for cooking or drying about 95% of the time. Unplug, replug. Takes an extra 20 seconds.
That's the spirit!

If you buy the bulk batch it comes to 177 per miner. I wonder how much shipping is...
Dunno about you, but I'm not planning to invest in 1600 Antminer S5's at this particular moment. A massive group buy? 1600 users, 1600 units actually that's a job for lee's miners. But delivery isn't slated till June

I was talking Ebay on line.
Where do you guys see them for under $200!?!?
hell yeah under 200 is very good. Where? I'd get some. Lol I would buy s-5's at 300. If you buy the bulk batch it comes to 177 per miner. I wonder how much shipping is...

well depending on this a follow up survey might fill in some blanks. gambling is touchy between cultures but people are usung the space to fill in gaps. ask questions, wait a while for data to come in and I'll cut the data the first week of april. theres a few pics being posted on twitter under #bitcoinsurvey . I get the idea lots of people are trying to figure out bitcoin like south parks underpants gnomes business model i have a gold plated bitcoin and im trying to work out how I could use a message to verify that who I'm talking to is the person who won. ie to post it to a winner. and been told many wallets don't let you sign messages. so if they won they couldnt sign it so that wont work the survey is nearly at 100 when I checked last - 10% of the way to my 1000 goal after about a week and getting a bit of momentum however getting a gender balance to this is probably going to mean paying for facebook ads later :/ cryptomoms posted a link to this thread, so thanks! I thought the gender balance in games was bad at 80/20 from my experience in 12 years in the industry. but so far only 7% are female respondents. so if people have an other half or housemate or family member or work/sport/drinking friend and especially if they dont use bitcoin, get them to fill it in. you'll have an excuse to give them their first wallet address. To verify, you could have them link to a BCT profile... Or maybe an email

Hey, I did some research on that escrow. I believe localbitcoins.com offers an escrow, I'm not sure about the fee differential. I believe that's the best option as well. I'd like to increase my feedback.
Try looking around the forum here. Your best bet is OgNasty on these forums. He is a great escrow, and has been around for a while. Typically who is responsible for the fees? I highly doubt it's free. It normally falls on the buyer, there are legitimate escrows that are free too. You just have to find the right one. Thanks a bunch dude. No problem. OgNasty is one of the big escrows here, there are more. I'd have to find a list that was thrown around at one time. Edit: devthedev is a good one too. here is a list, not up to date I think, but a start. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=108716.0There are many more, just giving you a start point.

What about spondoolies? But it would be pretty awesome to have more choice for residential mining #1 Spoondolies is based in Israel,shipping is higher than from here in the US,not just for purchase but for RMA too.......... #2 Spoondolies is not making a home miner ever again...they said so.Just large datacenter miners sold in bulk only We MAY get to buy em thru a Group Buy,but don't count on it Not sure where Bitmain is going with their S6/S7 miners yet,gotta wait & see. "Help me sidehack maybe you my only hope" Sometimes I feel really stupid, for some reason I thought they were based in texas.

I think you missed the entire point. Yes, the USB route won't be the focus. Making a USB stick is motivated both by market interest and because our initial testing will get us 80% of the way to a working USB stick miner anyway so there's no reason not to finish it out if people want them. Also, we won't be building a <100GH device that costs almost $1/GH. We're hoping for a 300+GH board at around $75 would be nice. We're also wanting to build something conducive to home mining. Which is very specifically NOT high-density rack-mounted gear. Repurposing existing chassis from retired miners is a lot better, in my opinion, than building another all-new mining skeleton to park alongside the several dozen other existing builds. So the focus will not be on USB stick miner, but it also won't be on that stuff you just said.
Maybe you should poll what the most common chasis is. I personally have two s3's and two rosewill 10 port USB hubs

Congrats to the winner!
Also, thanks for holding this giveaway ezeminer!
You are welcome, I am currently working on Raffle #3, It will be 10 tickets at .01 per. There will also be a poll asking what the next raffle(#4) you guys might like. More chances, higher prizes, or any other ideas that may pop up when should we expect round 3, This is a great game. but again what is the take for you? Donations. I'll have a donation address included in the next raffle. I also spend tons of time on BCT, so why not make use of that time? I am hoping some cool people donate out of their winnings, if not I don't mind. Edit: Round 3 Should be within three days.

I beat it in 6 minutes....I'm trying to upload the video except it is really huge (800mb). Anyone know how to shrink it on an iphone?
Scrap that... my best is now 2:55. I was able to upload the entire video to youtube... it's odd to watch. I solve it upside down but my phone is hanging over the end of my desk (so it's upside down too) so it looks normal on the video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7kGYalYljYPretty cool. I'm wondering if there is a set end date, or something for this competition for the free Kialara.

Philosophy
GekkoScience makes things that don't exist but should, and takes things that do exist and makes them better. Gekkoscience builds things that are Simple, Durable, Reliable.
Simple Simplicity is a design philosophy characterized by engineering at a low level. Using the simplest method available eliminates unnecessary failures. Simple is distinct from easy.
Durable Durable means constructing properly out of high quality components using skilled labor.
Reliable Reliable means high quality performance for a long time. Reliability is the natural outcome achieved by a combination of simple and durable.
http://gekkoscience.com/philosophy.htmlCertainly not ours. I found a Bitmain representative in my town, if you might need a hookup.
