Can we load them ourselves or is that not possible?

I am interested but a couple questions.
Is the price negotiable and would you do escrow?
Congrats on the wedding.  Grin

So, I have 8 block erupters to get rid of.  Time to move on.  Mining was fun, but I need the bitcoin to turn to cash to pay for a wedding...I'd really like to pay for the wedding with bitcoin though, that would be a lot of fun and using local people, I'm sure I could make it come very close to being 100% bitcoin paid for...

But anyways, trying to get rid of these things...

I get it, a patience test.
JD, are Turk, Elliot and Carla there?  Cool

JD upon successfully soliciting a small sum of BTC and eager to put his plan to work, decides to transfer the few fractions of Bitcoin he received to another account. While at this point many would become suspect, JD suspects his few willing volunteers will understand.
 
Sipping on his morning cup of coffee, JD smiles as he stares off into the distant sunrise. It is indeed the beginning of a new day…

They are offering the same there too.
I'm not busting your chops I know the margins on these are slim.
I think doing what your doing is great.  It makes it easier to run and get things going.  Smiley

They are cheaper on ebay.  $89 shipped. 0.1023 BTC
They are great little units.
How long has this one been running and is it running MinePeon?

That's how huch it costs me but i have to ship it back out to the customer and program it. I am making it easy for the user where all hey have to do is plug and play.
Now as far as are they used no. All hardware is brand new.
In retrospect I'm only asking $5-8 of my time for configuration and the rest is shipping back out. Not really making any money.
They are using the slush gatework/stratum proxy.
Like I said. It will be plug and play. No configuration on your end of the proxy. Just the blade(s)/cube(s).
Thanks for the questions. Cool

Quite true.
Power isn't an issue as long as the cows keep pooping here.  We have the methane electricity generation plant here that went online this summer.  So poop power for free.
Still though I don't necessarily want to run something that as I add them means new power lines to my server room.

This decision is difficult to say the least.  Huh

Do you pay for power? If so I'd really recommend using some calculators that factor in power. The Cube seems attractive because its cheap and 30 Gh/s, but the power consumption per-Gh is not the same as what you see with AntMiner solution hardware (or Bitfury or even BFL). That's why they are being sold for cheap. They won't even pay for their own power consumption for long.

Raptor2213 and nwools thanks for the idea.
I have thought about it alot but a couple issues is the lack of USB hub space.  Right now I have two Anker 7 ports with 7 ports full between the two.  That nice beast Razorfishsl is selling would be great in this case but then I end up with much less to buy Ants.
It's a toss up right now between a Block 30 to 38 gh/s, 2x Jalapeno's and having them upped to 15 gh/s each, the Ants and a new hub and some blades.
I really like the block for speed but not being a simple USB install has me nervous.  I have a good TP-Link router that handles well all traffic so far but the whole proxy issue with me having in excess of 10 devices that are on the network might cause it to not work well at times from what I read makes me a bit hesitant plus it's older tech.
The Jalapeno's are nice but it is a week or two extra to have them sent to lightfoot for upgrading which would feel like forever.
The Ants would be here super fast but no space to plug most of them in leaves me a bit leery too as the ship time for the Razorfishsl hub seems to take a couple weeks.
The blades are the same deal another device to hook into the network and older tech.
I would love to save up for the S1 but it will literally take me months too.

This decision is difficult to say the least.  Huh
2428  Bitcoin / Group buys / Re: [IN-STOCK, SHIPPING, OPEN] Professional quality USB hubs for USB bitcoin miners on: January 22, 2014, 04:31:30 AM
That sounds like a good plan.
I would put my BiFury and Red Furies in it with some of the old block erupters. 
Hopefully I can get one soon too.  Grin

Newbie question incoming...

If I buy this hub, then I need to buy the USB cards and run it using my computer? Does it matter what computer I have or what USB port it needs?

okay windows 7 and a pc with a usb 2.0 port should be good. ant miner usb u-1 sticks or ice furies or red furies should work well in the pc.

this hub is a stud/ a high end hub.  At least in theory it is.  So far users like it.

 I plan to put about 16 ice 'nano' furies in it. an attach 2 fans to it.  the guy above uses a raspberry pi I never tried it.  I run  4 pc's with windows 7 because I also run the gpu's in them at lite coin.

 the  4 pc's are dedicated for mining.  i use the macs I have for the net home theater etc.

Cool deal.
That will make things easier as well.
I'm actually making my decision on what to purchase tonight and tomorrow. Depending on what I go with I may have multiple systems going with the differing gear.
I really wish I had the money to just buy and Ant S1 but the most cash I could get was the $400 that and I got $300 for some networking gear I don't use anymore.  $700 doesn't buy much GH/s right now.   Undecided

Now that looks cool.  Are you close to done with that?

Oh I'd say yes-and-no. I'll probably release it before I'm done working on it. By done I mean being able to use the program the same regardless of whether you have a local or remote PC selected. I will probably release it with some subset of that feature-set.

From here I will be working on 2.5 which will include the #1 most requested feature. Hold on to your butts!

What is the #1 most requested feature?

No spam surprisingly enough.  Cool

lol why did anyone send money?

reading your spam inbox must be an expensive task for you lot.

2433  Bitcoin / Group buys / Re: [IN-STOCK, SHIPPING, OPEN] Professional quality USB hubs for USB bitcoin miners on: January 22, 2014, 03:51:06 AM
That is great to know.
Is it metal or a plastic case? It looks fairly rugged.

Thanks for the info. Does it work well so far?

Got mine today (US) - works great!

We all pay too much but it's so much fun.  Smiley


Ok, it hurts me realizing that I've paid too much for this piece of hardware. The mentioned 170 Europesetas
will buy you about 0.177 troy-ounces of fine gold here, not to forget that you most likely have to pay
death & taxes for importing them from Austria/Europe. But at least they were instantly delivered and didn't
require the installation of any device driver.

Btw, I have no relationship whatsoever to minecoin.net except being a customer...



That twin fury looks great but what is that in $US?
I'm asking because my BiFury only cost me $210 shipped and works at 5.8 gh/s with no mods.
I'm always looking for something good that is in my price range.
2436  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Name something you've actually BOUGHT with bitcoin on: January 21, 2014, 05:02:17 AM
You should actually do a website for that and a dedicated facebook page.  Then get the links on here and other such sites.
I have a close friend who repairs vintage radios and he makes a mint there are so many collectors out there.



Just bought another (25gh) miner. With a combination of bitcoins and my fees for fixing things (also collected in bitcoins)

I've been thinking: I repair watches (1860-1930 pocket watches especially) and a cleaning is normally $150 (where I take it apart and everything). Jewelers charge $500+ and send the thing out to a chop shop. So I will do this for bitcoin; where is a good place to advertise this (say .15btc for a cleaning and service)?

Very true we don't need PTSD or worse from this Experiment.

As long as it doesn't get out of hand (like the Stanford prison experiment)

Seriously, I would recommend you to get 5 pieces of these Twinfury-USB-miners at a very recommendable price : http://minecoin.net/shop/

Bringing them to 3ghs is quite easy. I have pencil-modded all my red furies. 8 of them run on about 3ghs and only two run on 2.7-2.8

Please tell me more about the pencil you used. I've got some red/twins running atm but none is willing to get faster than 2.7 GH/s.
2439  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Social Experiment on: January 21, 2014, 03:33:07 AM
I already get shocks with my spinal cord implant does that count.  Cool

Looking forward to this.

Sign-ups are now closed.

Looks like we have 8 participants, a bit less that I hoped but I am optimistic it will still work out well, after all this is a forum run experiment so it is hard to control all aspects of it. Now I just need to figure out how to get you to give electric shocks to each other though this forum... Wink

My next post will be the official kick-off of the experiment per my last post's instructions. The first few parts will not require any interaction, just so you are aware. Also, I should point out that it might not at first seem like a lot is happening, but keep in mind everything has its purpose.


2440  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Hacking a BFL Jalapeno to 32GH and beyond....(???) on: January 20, 2014, 08:22:17 PM
I use photobucket.
I don't now though if it will do what you need or not though but it may be worth a look.

Ok, I'm building a thread for the single. With a speed of 8 I have it running at a solid 28gh, and with a resistor in line with the big fan I have the noise level down to quiet with a temp of 65 on the board. Not too bad. The trick is to keep the fan over the chips running at full speed; the end fans just need to get the air out of the box and around the heat sinks.

On a side note it looks like Flikr is being an ass and doesn't want to give me the raw embed URLs for my photos. Anyone got a better site to share photos?
