Hi
Thanks for reaching out. The Pax gets great reviews (For original units at least - There are a lot of knock-offs out there) from end users / on the forums etc. but I can't truthfully answer your question as I've never had one to play with.
I use the Da Vinci original as well as the Ascent regularly and they are both solid vapes. You have a little more control with the Ascent and it features an all glass pathway which some users prefer. The Da Vinci V2 for the money though is rock solid and it does dry herbs and oils etc with the included Oil Cans. They have come down in cost at wholesale since Da Vinci launched the Ascent so I am offering them @ £99.95 / 0.56BTC now when they used to be £149.95 / 0.85BTC. For that price point they are one of the best digital options out there IMO.
With regard to the Pax they are now being made available to EU / UK through selected distributors. I expect to have stock in a couple of weeks or hopefully by August at the latest.
Let me know if you need anything else. I'm always happy to talk vapes.
Thanks for your answers. What's the difference between the Da Vinci 2 and the Ascent? If you could do a review of the Ploom when you get it that would be great. I really don't want to buy a vape and it not be what I wanted as it would just be a waste of money. The Pax or the Da Vinci are definitely the two I'm looking at the most but am open to suggestions. As long as they're fairly compact and actual vape and not burn that's all I really require. I should be receiving my Vapium Summit from BitcoinAccepted here soon, and I will do a writeup on it here in this thread. from what I've read its a great non combust vape for the price, but I've also heard Pax and Da Vinci make great gear. I think out of the two you are looking at currently, both are going to 100% vape and not combust your herbs. It just depends on how much you want to pay. Right now im using an Imag+ pen style vape and it doesn't combust at all, the only knock on it is the air pathway mesh screen is way too easy to clog up, Im hoping the Vapium is better in that regards. We shall see  check out the youtube reviews on the Vapium, it might be what your looking for regarding portability and non combusting |

If they have access to breaker box they can tell a lot from this. (Breaker box's are dangerous with live electricity).
I have a feeling this is someone in their mom/dad's house. Very few actually have "free" electricity, and even with free someone is paying for it.
Yeah and if the government is paying for it as what OP said, you dont wanna go all out right away, start slow. Otherwise your government will think you are doing an illegal grow operation in your basement and come raid your house |

looking for 0.37 ea. plus whatever shipping costs (OBO of course)
Located in Portland Oregon US
ideally looking to only sell 1 or 2 so I can turn around an get an S3 or something else to tinker with, also willing to trade for mining gear.

The only issue is how much free power he has.
Well I think if he has free power then maxing it out on a mining operation would be doomed from the start, especially if his free power provider is unknowing to him mining. The best bet for him IMO is to just get a couple miners and see how it goes, weather it be a couple S3 or even an S4 or S5 or two. That way he can play it by ear and slowly ramp up his gear in the future to not set off any red flags with the power company for all of a sudden seeing a huge spike in power draw at his place lol |

With your "average" power costs, I'd be looking into a hosting provider that could do it for me cheaper. There are a number of options available to you in that realm. Find out how much capacity those providers can offer you. Just as an example, if you were to grab the S4+ from Bitmain, you could get about 250 of them (they're about $1000 each). That's going to get you 642.5TH/s of hashing, and will have 370kWh power consumption. The S5 is more efficient, but requires you to also purchase your own PSUs to power them. With the same $250,000 budget, you could get 550 S5s and 275 APW3-12-1600-B2 PSUs from Bitmain (well... you'd be just slightly over your budget there). You could probably find better PSUs... I was lazy and just used what Bitmain has for sale... ...550 S5s will get you 635.25TH/s for a power consumption figure of 324.5kWh. Assuming $0.05 cost for electricity... (if you can negotiate that with a provider)... The S5s would expect to make you $1739 - $389.40 = $1349.60 a day The S4+ would expect to make you $1759 - $444 = $1315 a day If we assume those expectations stay constant (which they don't, but for the sake of this discussion), you're looking at ~185 days to recoup your initial investment with the S5s. This is some great math here, OP take note. You should focus on the S5, or hold off a bit and wait and see what bitmain (should) be releasing later this month, as apparently it will be slightly more efficient. If space is an issue then the S4+ is your best bet because of the integrated PSU's and the ability to stack them all up for a more dense application. If I had 250k, I would be contacting hosting centers / bitmaintech / sidehack / maybe even the avalon people and see what kind of deal you could get |

Just as slight clarification: | R-Box | New R-Box | | not it | it | |  |  |
oh damn, this puts me out then  I have the smaller R-Boxes |
|
|
|
|
Makes sense. R-Box it is then :-)
|
|
|
|
|
Yeah I've got a couple R-Boxes as desk pieces at work, if the price is good I would definitely purchase 2 boards
|
|
|
|
I dunno, $100 seems a little high, considering S3's can be had around $85 my vote is maybe |

It is still worth it. Find cheap power and decent used equipment for a good price. Use some ROI calculators and have some fun.
finding cheap power isn't that easy, if your whole nation is doomed with a hiogh electricity cost, your only option would be hosting, but it does not come without risk, also at that point is better to go with a legit cloud Well here in the PNW of US we are graced with cheap hydro power at 0.03/0.04 per kWh |

Some one please help!!! Last night all was hashing fine and this morning my Box was zombied and now it wont get power!!! i know its not my PSU since its running my S3+ and its a cooler master silent pro gold 800w. Ive seen it zombie before but it usually would start back up after a few minutes of being unplugged. Took the board out of the box and upon first inspection no soldering seems damaged but there was an excessive amount of thermal paste all over the board( stock paste).
please help? if you can get it to work ill totally tip you some BTC or CANN
Seems like it may have over heated, do the fans still spin? |

Hi guys, even though I'm a senior member I never really got into btc mining,
Funny, because if you look through your post history you were pretty active mining earlier this year, for example. You've also been here since 2013, so you were here for the ASIC rush of 2014, but you should know this already. Then around april this year you joined a signature campaign and the tone of your posts completely changed. What you meant to write was, "Hi guys, I just bought this account and want to post to earn for my signature campaign" If I had a bitcoin for every post that is titled identically to yours I would be rich. Try reading the forum. Lol totally owned, pretty funny (but totally true it seems) |

Hopefully no magic smoke was released in an untimely coincidence. I'll see about documenting the cgminer build (mis-)steps somewhere (not this thread, way too o/t). If anybody wants to play with my binary, shoot me a PM - or just wait for sidehack/novak's build Not trying the build yet but photos of my gear at freq 250. I am impressed with these little sticks. say 2.2 amps x 4.75 volts = 9.9 watts giving 27.46gh this is 0.36 watts per gh at a high overclock. you should look into being a hand model |

Great points sidehack. The BE300 did indeed beat the BM1384 and show that there's still plenty of wiggle room with the 28nm tech to get some nice efficiency gains. Do I think Bitmain's going to throw all of their cards on the table with this next S6/S7 generation and offer up the best they can get from their chips? Honestly, no. Even though they could very easily put out an S7 running 1.8TH/s at under 600W, I just don't see the incentive for them to do so. This will likely be a "hey it's good enough" generation while they transition to a smaller process node to compete with KnC's 16nm tech (which promises some absurdly low power draw).
When does KnC plan to introduce this 16nm chip? |

Does this work world wide or limited to USA.
Yeah Im pretty sure it can be used worldwide I am interested if it can work world wide, how much are you selling it, how easy is the installations. Sent a PM As discussed I am still interested please tell me other features of this component. It's basically a Sattelite box to help you get free to air Sattelite TV. It's got 2 tuners, picture in picture, DVR capabilities using external hard drive, all you need is a sattelite dish and coaxial splitter |
