It is not a surprise he is not leaving equipment it's hard to say but it could be as much as the land.  With it the deal is much more attractive.

There are a few red flags on it first is long term lease.  With owning the land when sharecropping you are normally responsible for land upkeep, maybe they pay 1/3 at most but at least 2/3 if not all is on landowner.   With long term lease there is no computation your chances are giving it to the previous owners buddy.  You need to at least do it as a bid and have more then 1 farmer bidding on what they will pay.  But since it's your land upkeep or improvement make sense landowner benefits from.  

Also normally it is not a flat fee if just flat fee if your just getting flat fee your getting screwed with owning the land. Normally you get a percentage of the crops.   2/3 land owner and 1/3 sharecropper is very common.

I think you a little over your head on the farming and land ownership.  I HIGHLY suggest getting someone who knows industry to consult before going with deal.   I think it's a pretty sweet deal for sharecropper getting it at flat rate.    But as land owner getting just a flat rate is not normal at all.  You want a share of what is produced.

Did previous owner come up with these terms with sell? Sounds like something someone would do for a friend he want's to farm it that does not have cash for land.  To get a flat fee at a rate low enough to pay for all upkeep out of sharecroppers hand you know you are getting much lower then you could.  Look at it renter is getting all the benefits of landownership without cost with your longterm lease.  Don't sign current deal, trust me on getting a consultant.

Where is at your home, and on the dumbest printer you have.  If you have a old printer with just USB and not all in one... use it.  Also look at way's to clear printers cache. This might be overkill in most cases but it's worth doing.  And also be offline when doing it.  If it's for a lot offline do it blow away OS, have a few writes on HD, then reinstall OS.  Again could be overkill but if using a lot do it.

I still am tinkering with hardware wallet.  I have to say it's kinda nice to have it and access to money so quickly.  I still am not going to put majority of holdings there as I'm early testing.  But so far it's really really nice.

You can use it with other wallets though.  If they shut down would the wallet still work?  Like electrum instead of the extension wallet?

Or is it calling home each time still when using electrum?

No it's not worth it for 1 computer (unless that computer had sensative info and they are getting info off it).  A lot of these go into a botnet.  So they will do what ever highest paying person asks most likely.

I think of botnets as a owner rent's them out to people for cash.  And there is a lot of scary things they could be doing you don't want to be a part of.  So really make sure your protected from virus type applications.

If it's a lot a gable fan works pretty well.  I pushed the hot air with a lot of CFM's of fan twords gable and it exhausted it. In my mining area.  There are also some vents that the hot air goes out of.

But main thing was getting a commercial grade gable fan as far as exhust - http://www.homedepot.com/p/QuietCool-Professional-3013-CFM-Power-Gable-Mount-Attic-Fan-AFG-PRO-3-0/206047381  That thing did a LOT more then the standard gable fan that was in it before.  Also have it on a temperature sensor so it is off a lot now that winter air is here.

It looks exactly the same as 4.1 adpters.  I cannot guarentee it as I have not hear of anyone trying it.

But I put my extra's with my 4.1's as it appeared so close.  So I'm guessing yes but cant guarantee it.

Can you show a pictue of the 10?  I would love to see that!

And thanks to the person showing cooling adapter that is interesting!

Not all charge more for electricity though.  They figure you will have a few comuters, maybe tv/projector.  And heating/cooling and lights.  They don't expect thousands of watts of gear to show up.   So a lot of leases it's ok to do if they were lucky, but chances are the lease also gives owner a way to kick you out pretty easy... which miners would cause.

Also most offices are not set up for a ton of miners.  The wiring and breakers and such just are not designed for a large amount of electricity I don't think.

There is not really enough for us to know in a couple of months it will be out.  And even if it is who knows date public sales start.

They sold a TON of cloud hashing which we can assume will be first to get machines.  I expect others to come after that.  And we also have not seen chips, or prototype so timeline really is hard to say.

Even with big mining equipment the risk is still there of not hitting a block. Granted it's less with so much equipment.  But you would have to have millions in equipment to even think about solo mining as a good idea.

And you would have a LOT of expenses that would make solo mining hard, as you need to pay things such as electricity.

Holy crap guys! Were at 448 at coinbase.  Were talking about possibly breaking 450 today.

That is huge! Expect high difficulty for sure with this going on.

Is the farmer leaving his equipment with it?  If so what equipment and what year/models?

Depending on farming you would be surprised how much extra you will spend on equipment.  Some equipment can add up to over a million easy depending on what your farming.   

So I would not count on full farming profits as I have a feeling you will be sharecropping,  where someone with the equipment comes over to do it and they take a pretty big chunk of profit.  Also stuff to improve the land is out of you pocket.  So if the land has not been improved in a while or soil needs work that again is a lot out of your profit.

The farming part scares me personally adding that to mining.  Your talking about 2 completely different investments.

One thing to keep in mind is this forum has rules and yes some put certain posts in certain threads.   No matter what a dictionary say's the forum rules still are what are followed. 

Honestly it's kinda a mix of a lot of things I mean I brought it up in one topic farming and mining have nothing to do with each other.  I actually do have farm experience it very hard work..... i like computers much better.    Honestly someone almost needs to take a class or two before ever investing in a farm.  But I guess this is getting off topic.

But it was moved to a proper forum, no matter what dictionary says.

I should not assume but you are using on a US outlet right? Not somewhere where adapter is needed?

I'm going to guess US.  But your on right track on contacting seller.  I would love to tell you to open it up and see if something is off, but that no doubt would make it where seller would make you keep it.

That is the fear is somehow someone tampered with it before you got it.  As that could possibly defeat all security defenses depending on what they do.  The KeepKey does try to warn you if it has a custom firmware on it:

"You can make modifications to our firmware or create your own, then run it on the KeepKey. As a security precaution, firmware uploaded to the KeepKey that we do not distribute will show a warning message during boot to explain that it running unofficial firmware."

Still with a hardware wallet there is a little piece of mind knowing it came from factory and had seals in tact.

I have have one no issues with shocking.  Do you know if the shock as from case or possible surge protector?  I would try on a different surge protector if not on one already.

It is odd that it would be able to build up shock through case and still work.  I would think you would have some issues. 

Your very welcome!  BlockC really did a good job at making that image to be easy to setup a Avalon 6. 

With DHCP works with almost all networks and you can go to static very easily if you want.  Also was tested with Avalon 6's so it is known to work good.   It's the best image I have seen for first boot up so far.

I am not part of company so I cant say what determined price.  Look at post above to see why I call it a premium hardware wallet.   

The packaging is so you know it came straight from factory to you without tampering.  To get in it you need to open the plastic wrapper, which I agree is not super secure.  But the 2 security stickers are pretty good as you have to cut both to open box.  So it shows it was opened.  So they did make it a priority to show customer it was not opened by anyone before receiving it.

Yes it has pin protection. Also it does show the numbers as random spots so even if someone logged what boxes you clicked it would do them no good as far as location. 

The price is not cheap that is a vaild argument.  I would say it's a premium hardware wallet with my time with it so far.  With the large screen, and aluminum case it is not designed to be the cheapest option.

You are right about faucet, but very wrong on signature campaign. The thing is you have not hit full member yet.


The full member is where signature campaign pay really goes up.  Look at all the campaigns almost all are like this. That is why until you hit full member you can skip sig campaigns and not really miss out on much.
