it might be possible to take a copy of the "master public key" which can generate addresses only (no risk to find out the private keys from this) and build a watch only app on top of that. i've seen that in electrum and point of sale apps that use address generation only feature.

nope

only thing you can do is to order each trezor separately ...

there are also a lot of working testnet faucets, 3of4 sent coins within 6 hours, last one within 3 days. just telling that you can help yourself to testnet coins easily also without trezor guys

if you're confident to manage your crypto currency safely, buy that instead of the hardware wallet and buy one in future (hopefully for less than it costs now; hint spend later a fraction of bitcoins that you buy today with the same amount of $ or eur that you spend today)

if this thing would be around years ago it would already be cheaper ; )
and probably thousands of coins would not have been stolen in the meantime

preorders closed in november so you're right as well

this tool uses public master key from a deterministic wallet (like electrum) and generates addresses.
i would not run anything else on a server that will be accessible from internet

I remember the nervousness around that time, if the preorder btc will be enough to finance the production. crazy times.

are you looking for the first generation asics? 110 nm, 0.335 ghs?
if so, I can sell but w/o the plastic case they came
please PM /me
only have black ones (most probably also red and blue were seen in the wild)

practice makes perfect.

there were 100+ blocks found this hour (in testnet). maybe needs coins for testing and mining them is safer then visiting faucets.
 on the other hand, 2 or 3 worked so I'm not in need for mining anymore, just will practice that as hobby

would 2 p2pool nodes qualify for bounty?

preferably both types (with/without *) - unfunded/funded
this requires a physical trip to Utah to acquire the funded ones

I rather start the topic now and take care of it until they become available and we can negotiate the price
I'm looking for the small denominations (1, 0.5, whatever will be available)

If you share the interest, we can gauge the demand here and come up with a group buy proposal to potential sellers.

if you start an crypto(alt)coin you will need at least one miner that would record transactions in your network. even if you'll not motivate your clients to mine new coins you probably still need to prevent them from mining to rise your difficulty and then abandoning mining leaving you in a trap (not able to mine new blocks due to high difficulty). either by preventing them from mining completely or by running own (asic?) miner yourself (read a usb stick not suitable to mine bitcoins but powerful enough to scare way students with graphic cards).

with 100% pre-mine you run into distribution problem, how will you give the coins to participants? do you also want a coin faucet giving them away for email/page visit?

how do you plan to keep the network alive if no one is mining? where will students fetch the blockchain?
