i understand BTC is most profitable etc.

but i am going to gamble and mine other coins in hopes they catch on or make a run.

think back when litecoin was under $3.  i bet people were saying same thing, not to mine litecoin and just mine bitcoin.  the movement in price of these altcoins you can make some decent gains i think.

It's 2.3 btc last I checked

He replied to me on skype today.

Did you try using the PSU it came with? Someone said it worked with a standard PC power cord.

I just don't want my house burning down over some crypto lol

Take pics when you swap bc I didn't get the PSU lol

Terrahasher posted a link to a PSU

It was $150 and id rather have a trusted PSU than some "what if" unit from them

Just my .02 cents

I reread it and you are correct. It also explains that to send 2.4 u need slightly more than 2.4

Thanks for clearing that up. I read an article that said otherwise

I disagree but we all have our opinions.

im going to mine altcoins.  its more of a hobby than anything else. 

thanks for all the help guys.  i ended up liking coinbase the best as far as buying/selling BTC.  i also liked btc-e for alt coins.

i was wondering one thing about sending BTC to people as payment for items.  if i wanted to buy something that costs 2.4 BTC, i have to buy exactly 2.4 BTC?  I cant buy 5 and send 2.4?

I read that the other day and it seemed pretty limiting for the currency as a whole.

can you thumbnail those pics?  the page is FUBAR every time i come back.

but thanks for the pics!  good work

Can we get more reviews? There is only one person that seems to have unit in hand.

I feel like u gave wrong info

Thanks for this. I read it somewhere online but didn't trust the site

Now all I need are the power supply questions. To the poster that bought the single PSU, how you know it will have enough connections?

If I wanted to mine peercoin, firefly coin or terracoin am I using asic or scrypt?

id like to hear ballpark prices for the 400 and 1.2

So i have been doing some reading and plan on making the jump.  here are some questions:

1-  Am i wasting my time buying an asic miner?  i dont plan on mining bitcoin as i want to target altcoins and convert to btc.  The reason i ask if its a waste is if I buy 1-2 200gh/s units for around $4000, when BFL finally ships the 600gh and the th/s units come out, wont these units drop drastically in price?

2-  In regards to above, if i wait two months for these units to possibly ship I probably wont get one anyway.  So is the waiting game worse than buying now?

3- Can all altcoins be mined solo?  I dont really like the pool concept and would rather mine solo.  Is this the wrong idea?

4- How do I exchange my altcoins for USD or BTC?

5- Can someone post a link or something how to secure your coins?  I assume that each altcoin i mine is going to need its own wallet.  Does that mean I will need multiple usb drives to backup each wallet?

6- Where is there an accurate calculator that can show if im running two 200gh units both at 900w each, will it be profitable to even turn these things on?

I really just want to get started but I also dont want to get ripped off buying a unit or get my coins stolen.

Thanks

some questions i have

1- If ordering without PSU, what two PSU should I buy?  I cant find Corsair 650W PSUs for $40 like another user stated

2- What wattage are they running at?  I'm trying to figure out how much this thing will cost to run each day

3- How would you setup two or more units?  I'm a little new to the asic world.

4- Also can someone comment on how much you have to pay in customs shipping to US?


What is updated price for two units without PSUs?  Both bitcoin and paypal

Thanks a bunch

I'll buy for bitcoin via escrow. But splitting any fees if there is.

Just message me any units you may sell

Sorry didn't know it was frowned upon

I will go up to 4k for the right unit.

But I'm looking for something 200ghs plus
