I find it completely ridiculous that people are still buying Antminer U1's and U2 for about $10 to $15 each on Ebay.  
$10 for a miner that does 2GH/s.  At today's difficulty (if it doesn't increase again), they can stand to make about 5 cents in a year! LOL

Here's a link that show the U1's and U2's that have been sold on ebay recently:
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_sacat=0&_nkw=antminer+u1&LH_Complete=1&LH_Sold=1&rt=nc

The top listing there is offering free shipping.  Once you consider Shipping ($2-$3) and eBay and PayPal fees 30 cents + 13% they are only selling that USB miner for about 5 bucks.  In other words the price floor on mining equipment isn't determined by how much you can mine with it but at some point it comes down to basic costs.

10-15 bucks isn't a bad deal to learn the ropes of using an ASIC before plunking a tone of money into something more expensive.

Do you guys still have any of those package deals (ie DPS-800GBA + adapter + pcie cables) ? Also any adapter boards for the DPS-1200FB PSUs? I checked your website for these but they were not listed. Have you stopped making/selling them?

Still selling them, we have a limited number of DPS-1200FBA boards in-stock. and a lot of the DPS-800GBA boards available.  We can also quote cables and PSUs packages.  Our stock is always changing best way to contact us is via email if you don't see what you are looking for on our web store or ebay.

iCEBREAKER can live in his broken reality but the fact that some US legal representative(s) do not see how the economics of Bitcoin works doesn't mean that what their ruling is right and just.

Fact is there hasn't been a single decision from any court yet dealing with the issues of Hashfast's promise of refunds, or the legality of Hashfast's shady business practices.

Icebreaker seems to think so. Did I misread that?  Roll Eyes

No, you read what he wrote correctly; he is miss informed or misrepresenting what has happened so far to mean something it does not.

adapter boards work well also, depends if you prefer a $40+ board or doing it yourself with a little bit of wire and a soldering gun (takes about 30min if you are inexperienced)

Yeah definitely depends on how you value your time and how many you need or if you want to be able to resell the supply and if you already own the soldering equipment you would need to do that.

Plenty of cables still in stock- these are perfect for running sp20 units, which can demand over 250w per pcie cable

Hello Klondike_bar,
I sent you PM - with no response from you.
I need 16 AWG cable with 6-pin PCI connectors on each side.
How much will it be?

sorry, thought i got back to you already. I dont have any of those in stock, but am getting a pile of them in my next batch (should be in my hands just before christmas)

they will be slightly more expensive, about $0.20/cable more  for most order quantities

Thank you for reply, will come back after Christmas Smiley

I also have a question - I have 2 HP ProLiant DL ML G6 G7 PSU 1200W - their outs are a blade? (not sure how to call this, similar to how cards are plugged in a motherboard in a computer)

- is there a way to "convert" them to feed miners? I.e. somehow make PCI outs?

Thanks again!

What model number is the PSU?  Minersource.net sells a version of the Gigampz breakout board for the HP DPS-1200FBA which sounds like what you are talking about.

Shortly before the hearing adjourned, Montali expressed his puzzlement in the entire affair and wondered why the company simply didn't just convert its Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection into a Chapter 7, which allows a company to liquidate under American bankruptcy law.

"The observation that I’ve had since Day 1: I've expressed the unusualness of this new business called Bitcoin coming into our old familiar bankruptcy world, and I find it beyond belief that someone who understands Bitcoin wouldn't have the slightest interest under the bankruptcy code," Judge Montali said. "I'm going to defer to the judgement of the committee and the judgement of the debtor."

Weren't we first converted from chapter 7 to chapter 11?

    Yup, anyone looking for a summary of what has happened so far this is my take... 

    After being forced into chapter 7 Hashfast delayed for a month then filed a motion asking the judge to convert the case to chapter 11 which they are entitled to do under bankruptcy law.

Not that it matters at this point, but who approved Hashfast's request to convert to chapter 11? Judge Montali? I know I should know this but this question is part rhetoric, part self-prescribed ignorance.

    Yes, Judge Montali approved it.  It was of course the decision of Hashfast management to file it in the first place.  This was before the creditors had any collective representation to oppose it. 

He should now have at least a glimpse of an answer as to why Hashfast management didn't just stay in Chapter 7. Hopefully this helps us creditors re: litigation.

Yes, well, what is lost on all the people screaming that forcing them into chapter 7 was stupid idea is that they were preparing to declare chapter 11 bankruptcy anyways.  The involuntary filing just caused them to have to do it a couple weeks sooner than they had planned.

    After being forced into chapter 7 Hashfast delayed for a month then filed a motion asking the judge to convert the case to chapter 11 which they are entitled to do under bankruptcy law.  Hashfast wanted to transfer all the valuable assets of the company to a new company for a token payment and leave all the liabilities ie: money owed to the customers with the bankrupt entity.  They were calling this the "Liquidbits deal" and that would have only been possible to push through under chapter 11 since under chapter 7 the existing management would have lost all control.  The creditors opposed that because it would have left us customers with exactly $0 and only paid the lawyers and a few key insiders.  Based on this the creditors were able to get a CRO appointed which removed decision making control from the HF management and put it in the hands of a third party who pursued a strategy of selling off the assets.  At this point as the article notes most of the assets have been sold except for some chips.  What's left is to pursue what they call "avoidance, preference, and fraudulent conveyance" actions.  That is what you will see happening next.

A pair of these DPS-800's is perfect for an SP-20.

Can this adapter work on a HO SSA70 DL 580 1200w power supply?

I'm not familiar with the SSA70 but generally speaking the original Gigampz adapter is only compatible with the following part numbers which are commonly found in the HP DL 380...

HP DPS-800GBA
HP ATSN7001044
HP p/n 379123-001
HP p/n 399771-001
HP p/n 380622-001
HP p/n 403781-001

    The HP DL 580 G5 uses "common slot" type PSU with a different pinout and requires a "Gigampz CS" adapter instead of the original.

I sent you a PM two days ago about buying more boards, have you had a chance to look at it?

Just sent you a Bitpay invoice, thanks for your order!
95  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: HashFast announces specs for new ASIC: 400GH/s on: November 18, 2014, 10:41:31 PM
Whatever funds are recovered from the two of them ONLY goes to the bidder....
Only Barber's claims are being auctioned off.
Mr Cavion is right, i am slightly disgusted by this though.

Meaning you don't think they should be auctioned or you think that there should be more auctioned?

Just got a fresh batch of boards.
97  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: HashFast announces specs for new ASIC: 400GH/s on: November 17, 2014, 06:13:39 PM
I apologize, but I don't know where the details of the auction are, and I have not spent much time searching.

Would anyone mind providing a link?

The arstechnica article links the court document with the details.  It's Dec. 4th in San Francisco if you plan to bid there is a procedure you need to follow a head of time to show you are a serious bidder.

We've got cables and PSU back in stock and still have boards left.

Will the DPS1200FBA dp the job ?
What gauge of wire to use and any safety precaution measures that I need to follow to prevent any electrical hazard or worst frying up my boards and my house ?

The short answer is you need to get 2 PSUs to do this safely.

If you are running from standard American home wall outlets (120 Volt power) the DPS1200FBA puts out 900 watts.  You need to run on 240 Volt wall power to get the full 1200 watts out of it.  Even then it will not power more than 3 Ants

A DPS-800GBA can run 2 Antminer S1 (OC or UC) , S3, or S3+ units so if you are planning on 3 S3+ plus an S1 you are going to need 2 PSU's. 

You would need a 1600+ Watt PSU to power all 4 of those off the same PSU and if you are using standard 15 amp home outlets you are going to exceed the capacity of your 15 amp breakers if you use a single PSU.  To use a 1600 Watt PSU safely at full load you really need a more heavy duty outlet than is standard in most American homes.
