1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Marketplace (Altcoins) / 20 x L3+ Antminers inc. AWP3++ PSUs for sale in the UK on: October 09, 2017, 10:10:35 AM
I'm selling 20 x L3+ miners from the from the latest 21st - 30th September Batch. You still have nearly the entire 180 day warranty with Bitmain.
Only selling as the landlord has served an eviction notice for my other 42 machine rig - ouch!!

Happy for you to inspect and collect from Birmingham. Alternatively, I'm willing to travel to either London or Manchester for cash (add £50 GBP for this).

£2750 cash PER SET (or 0.8 BTC to my wallet). Will also accept Bank Transfer.

Will post worldwide via UPS Economy Express (£40 per set) or you can arrange for your own courier to collect. Contact via email/whatsapp.

Been in the game long enough so no silliness and no games please - don't try!
2  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Litecoin invalid shares on: October 07, 2017, 11:23:56 PM
Hi folks,
Wondering if anybody can shed light on (a) whether and (b) why I have such a high rate of invalid shares when mining LTC? I have a rig comprising of 5 x latest Antminer L3+ on the go now for approx 48 hours and all are pointing to Litecoinpool.org.

See pic below and tell me what I'm doing wrong?
3  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Creative analogy needed for non-techies on Cryptocurrencies on: June 03, 2017, 04:18:12 PM
Hey folks,

I'm hoping you good folks here can help with examples and analogies to explain the basics of Cryptocurrencies (specifically Bitcoin) for 2 articles I'm writing aimed at a younger audience (<12 year olds) and maturer non-techies. The article will be void of terms such as 'blockchain, hashing, agorithim' etc. and replaced with either creative or real-life 'working' examples (farming, mining, cooking etc.). Specifically, I'm looking to answer 2 questions:

What is Bitcoin and Why is it worth the ~2KEUR it is now?

So far, I have the following notes - ignore the grammar: it'll be polished later but wondering if anybody could add to it:

version#1:
King Satoshi announces buried treasure (coins) in Land X. People quickly gather with axes and shovels and the first group find (mine) the coins with relative ease. As word spreads to far away lands, more and more people join the search making it increasingly difficult to find these precious coins and to date, only 16 million have been found. There are still people searching for this treasure and the equipment used to dig is becoming increasingly expensive.....


version#2:
Bitcoin, unlike gold or other precious metals, is not a tangible currency. Its value is a function of several factors including, but not limited to:

1). The appealing concept i.e. that of a de-centralised currency owned, managed and traded by the people
2). Similar to gold, the effort & resources required to 'mine' Bitcoins which becomes exponentially more difficult as we near the 21 million cap
3). The slow adoption, acceptance and 'usefulness' of Bitcoin in making real-life purchases for tangible goods and/or services
4). Supply & Demand - Bitcoin is similar to the 'USD of FOREX' and is considered the 'base' currency against which most new concepts are pegged

This is a work in progress and will be followed up with animated content to explain the theory better. My post is essentially me sharing notes and I'd love to hear creative examples I can use to better explain and answer my 2 questions above.

Cheers
