Hi, just signed up for 50 units if the price and details hold up.
I require shipment to the UK as well.

Good luck

Nice spec and power draw but all depends on the price.
Not ordered Avalon before so if you were ordering a lot would you take their own sorcerer power supply or get your own in country?

Thanks for the replies guys, they are very helpful indeed.....

It just confirms my thoughts about going for Electrum.
If I store my BTC on Electrum what are the best routes for then turning some of it into Fiat?

To answer your questions: My family are looking to invest in mining here in the UK, we are fortunate that we have premises with cheaper electric.
We will try and buy a pallet of Avalon ASIC miners early in the new year (if we can get them).
741's x 60 units = about 440 TH/s. (although rumours on this forum about a new Avalon A8 miner)

We will probably attach to Slush as our pool of choice.

Appreciate your time in answering my question.
9  Economy / Web Wallets / Coinbase - Views Please on: November 20, 2017, 11:02:35 AM
I am looking at Wallet options for my mining project in 2018.

Reviewed the likes of doing it myself with the likes of Xapo, Electrum etc; but interested in Forum members opinions of Coinbase for Wallet/Exchange capability.

Anyone had any experience of using their services? Good, bad or indifferent?


10  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: To Mine or Not - see what you think? on: November 16, 2017, 04:20:09 PM
In response to 'Notfuzzywarm' comment;

You are correct, I took your advice and got off my arse......and having reviewed the boards over the last week and done some additional homework I have reached a conclusion.

Its all about the power cost for me - here in the UK it is relatively expensive- but I have a few options to explore.

I have contacted Slush direct, identified a preferred wallet, got a location, spoke to an electrician, spoke to a network guy and got my family to buy in to the venture.
I also have access to a company with an import license to buy direct from china and identified the miners I want to buy (well almost) they also have a local contact in China who
I am speaking with which is proving quite interesting.

So all that is left is to get some 'balls' to have a go in the new year and look in to my crystal ball !!

So 'Notsofuzzywarm' what do you reckon to that? The question still remains - should I go for it ( and we already know your answer to that)

I am failing to get the answers I want from anywhere else so challenging the Forum for a consensus.

We are complete crypto currency virgins and not technical, although we have reasonable business acumen.(I live in the UK)
I recently visited a friend in Czechoslovakia who introduced me to his friend who has been mining on a large scale for 2 years and made some decent money.
His place had about 150 antminers in the basement of an old building!!!!

It set my mind thinking so when I got home I investigated and now have a reasonable understanding of mining, its challenges and opportunities.
However there is a lot of conflicting information on the internet, so I thought I would challenge you guys to answer the following and stimulate some debate!

Here is my baseline -
We own a small building in the UK, with internet and power.
We have access to lets say £50k cash to spend on a rig.
We have a contact that has offered to sell me some brand new Antminer S9, L3+ with PSU's (at a slight premium to buying direct from Bitmain) he has them in stock I have seen them.

Questions.
1) If you were me would you make the investment?
2) Given the choice what would you mine - Bitcoin, Litecoin or something else like Ethereum? (I understand you cant mine Ethereum with ASIC's ?)
3) If we chose Bitcoin would you mine direct or join a mining pool?
4) What software would you use?
5) what wallet would you use?
5) what sort of Internet connectivity bandwidth do you require to say run 20 or 30 x S9's? Can you join all these to the same pool?
6) What about tax implications?
7) What is the minimum baseline equipment list required to set up a farm? Network? Electrics?
Cool what else should I worry about?

Lets see what you guys come up with !!! Should be interesting or not.
