In canada, I belive there is a company in Quebec called PGC or PCGS that does grading - I have considered it but felt it was not necessary unless the value of a bitcoin goes >$1200 again or there becomes any reason to test Casascius coins for authenticity

I can also sell units individually for 2.15BTC

There are only 700 of these coins, making it [one of] the rarer casascius 1BTC coins. I am quite happy holding them for as long as it takes to sell them at my price-point, which is competitive with others on these forums and perhaps the cheapest option for Canada

No. 2.25 BTC firm and would include shipping to australia via xpresspost (3-5 days)

yeah...

20V*4.5A = 90W
5V*0.5A=2.5W

90/2.5 = 36 USB Miners that run at typical 500mA

^really hope it involves actual competitive pricing. For a more-stable, stackable/enclosed bitfury I would gladly add it to my growing collection of antminers - but only if they can get their shit together and
1) price in BTC - for the love of god.
2) price no higher then 10% above the antminer - those things are simple, elegant tanks that dont wobble, dont blow sd cards, and only require the single fan that they ship with. The only upside to the bitfury is saving ~1w/GH

+1

The reality of it is: they are both insanely rich from sales of the bitfury design already, and will probably just spend several days doing blow in a Munich penthouse

Is there some weird 'hodling' meme going on in the economics section, or is it simply a lack of coordination in bitcoin owners?

make that only the US of America. Canada also lacks the service, and their Ontario call center is terrible

below $600 I may buy some more
below $400 I WILL buy more.

*assuming the drop is due to market jitters and weak hands, rather than major bad news

that is the HEX16A i beleive - theres a few threads in the forum on it. It connects via a microusb cable and the green thing is screw terminals for powe if not using the pci-leads

okay, its not just the PSU's fault, its also yours.
1) when you say you run 2 or even 3 boards plus other components on a single 'molex tree', are you referring to a singlular cable with multiple 4-pin molex connectors along its length?
if you are - thats problem #1. There is only a single 12V lead in that cable, meaning two things:
a) it will be tied to only one of the PSU's 12V rails. lets assume the lower, 16A: 16*12=192W. This is barely enough power for 2 units at full speed/overclock.
b) check your cable. its unsafe to pull more than 60-100w through a single 18AWG cable like your PSU probably has. You can easily melt the plastic and start fires.

2) In order to properly power more than 2 of these on your supply, you need to identify which rail supplies which 12V power cables. Usually 1 rail is dedicated to the 4/8-pin square ATX mobo plugs and the other for the PCI cables and molex accessory cables. using the above math, you can assume you have 2 rails each capable of 2 devices. You 100% will not be able to fit 5 without massive underclocking of 3 of them.

my advice: snip the heads off the PCI and ATX mobo connectors, and use a wire pair per device.

I had a late Jalapeno order (originally looked like september delivery, more like dec/jan) and cancelled it with paypal following some tips posted around these forums at the time.

full refund and I never looked back. poked my head in to look at the monarchs, then walked away laughing and shaking my head

yours does not seem to have designated 'trunk' port(s). (on mine, there are 48 10/100 ports plus 2 10/100/1000 ports that can be used for the link to the router. With yours, plugging any port of the switch to a LAN port from your router should do the trick. Ive only used static IPs and those work without a hitch. havent tried any DHCP but i dont see it being a problem

you can get 1GH/share from the 100TH (500TH) mine on picostocks for 0.015BTC/GH

people buying on CEX.io are insane - the asking price right now is almost 3x what a GH will ever produce from mining. Everyone seems to just want to use the site for day-trading, then complains that they made no money

9 isnt many (think about the asicminer backplane where all 10 cards needed a connection!)

I personally am using a 48-port HP Prolink switch i got used for $10. Im only using a half-dozen of its ports, but its a great peice of hardware, runs on 120V, and is dead-easry to set up, connecting its trunk to one of the LAN ports on my wireless router

the issue is the alt-coins, not the assistance in getting started with a cointerra product. one of those issues is off-topic and the other one 100% belongs in this thread

^smirk. thanks guys, but This thing is worth more than 3.5BTC just for the components:
840+W of power: ~0.06BTC
2x Antminer: 2.90 BTC
2x *6-10 extra days of mining* = ~0.42
wiring, construction time, crate, etc

I am asking a premium for the work put into making antminers stackable and sold pre-overclocked. I am still looking for more, and can negotiate for cash

^sounds about right. I remember picking up 2 units cost ~$52 (about $20 each plus a $10 or more brokerage fee) while a single unit was about $30 due to the fee still being the same. getting more in a shipment would thus negate some of the fixed fees

do your math you idiot. Using a correct calculation method of 25% difficulty jumps that taper slightly over time and $0.20 for 1GH at 2W/Gh of power use, you would see a return of 3900% or 39x your investment.
