Depends to what level, if the thing does say 1000MH/s it's not bad as long as your not paying for electricity, if you were at a company that has a few of them it's even better, OS X I've found is very easy to run a miner on and find it to be stable.

I'm sure will not be worth the price tag, plus firepros have always been quite weak for mining, don't know why particularly.

I think there is something about BFL in how they targeted smaller mining operations, encouraging people with 5Ghz units which cost every little where as most other minors seem to target selling very expensive but still powerful devices. I don't believe BFL is a scam but I do think they're just that bit too dodgy to touch unless you like to live dangerously.

Personally I think the market value of bitcoins are getting somewhat unstable right now, better to hold out, there will be newer generations of miner either way, it's just keeping an eye out on which maker to put your money on when the time comes.

I'm not sure why people bought them up in the first place, they cost the same as a half decent graphics card, they hash about as much, but have no real resell value, it's only the fact that they're USB and lower power consumption that they're worth while, for me they're worth nothing as I mine electricity cost free, I liked the idea of being able to just put loads attached to one machine though.

Sorry, sold them on to a user called Projects. Thank you for the offer anyways.

Anyone know a good place to sell off some coins quickly?

I used to use XMLGold.eu which wasn't great but was at least quick but they're down till 6th of June.

I need another site or a good safe way to deal with someone directly to secure GBP or even EUROs at a point?

Hey just what I'm looking for.

Can you take something like this:

https://estore.ti.com/BQ500210EVM-689-Evaluation-Module-for-bq500210-Qi-Compliant-Wireless-Power-Transmitter-Manager-P2529.aspx

 http://uk.farnell.com/jsp/search/productdetail.jsp?sku=2146057&CMP=KNC-GUK-FUK-GEN-SKU-G12&mckv=sLhgWcOs1|pcrid|13359103509|kword|bq500210evm-689|match|p|plid

and simplify the board down to being a basic QI charger board that is driven off a USB connection for power and also has an IO pin(s) for driving two LEDs when a induction of the coil is occurring?

Must use Wireless Power Consortium standard components but I'm sure if you follow what this unit has it'd meet that spec.

I'm assuming this isn't all the horrible a job bar understanding some of the spacing/shielding aspects surely it's just simplifying the layout?

Message me if you wish to ask further questions?

How come your not just using the Klondike designs or contributing to them over working on your own PCB? https://github.com/bkkcoins/klondike

Not sure if trolling... or hasn't seen whats already been done before

On a serious note, whats really strong with bitcoin is quite niche tech/online services, I personally don't think there's a lot you can do standard selling wise that beats other credit card accepting companies, such as selling electronics, you'll never beat the likes of Amazon and if anything when your selling those items you don't want the uncertainty of bitcoin to risk your money, producing digital products on the other hand means you can sell a little lower than you want on the expectation that the value will rise and customers will buy on the basis it's a good deal. The other thing is to look at things like Silk Road and go back a few steps from the illegal part, try to find grey areas where the products are perfectly legal but people don't illegal want it on their credit cards or want a no hassle payment.

I have an idea myself for a service to get started but sadly it does require more of my time than I'd like and I can't pay for other developers at best its money spent on graphics work which is harder for me to spend time on.

I'll give away one free idea though, try working on an Android app market that sells via bitcoin, there's a lot of challenges to it but ultimately I'd like to think there's quite a large market from the number of bitcoin apps on the market the next step might be to see if you can get app makers on your store with the idea of selling it cheaper for customers, taking a lower percentage for yourself than Google would which keeps the maker happy then allow the percentage you take to hopefully grow as an investment.

Sell blood for bitcoins, that's original right?

what no option that he might just slowly give them away once the currency is more main stream?

Ok, so I think I've got this down, basically the idea should be rather than directly accessing the 'supernode' from a stateless PHP execution I should probably be creating something like a worker service that will subscribe to batches of addresses and then start storing the results of such like when an address has reached a target amount received?

Cheers for all the help, good luck with the full release 

It's a shame no one made a kind of medium sized board that would  have wholes for a PCI back plate so you can basically get a load of them and place them in typical ATX case at the same time probably just building in a cheap atom motherboard for managing them probably about as low powered as you'll get without having more unreliable builds anyways

Thanks so ideally I'm guessing to monitor any of the addresses I've got to either:

1) do a MatchRequest for each address with my address as the receiving address?

Or

2) do I just create a filterRequest with a filter for my receiving address and I'll essentially get my transactions that way?

if so do you have a rough guess on how long these requests are likely to take?

Well you need a computer to connect the board to I believe unless I'm wrong

Potentially interested buyer here, would be interesting in about 64 chips?

Interested in this but sadly unless someone does have the chips easily in the UK then I'm kind of screwed

For the first time even the mining pool I use, btcmine.com had what appears to be a ASIC mining running as one user on the top mining board got over 60,000MH/s.

So anyone got a guess how many ASIC devices are out there right now in operation? If you do try and show some working out of how you got to you conclusion

Is there by any chance someone where that documents all the possible messages that can be set and expected results etc? Even as a really rough document?
