I am not interested in learning all there is to know about high power flashlights. I just want something cool and under 100 bucks in btc and to at least feel like i got a good deal. Something home made would be interesting.
I thought I should just write a couple words at this point to those who may care.
I understand the value of this miner is low and keeps getting lower as the difficulty goes up. The problem for me is that I already have achieved a very good ROI with this miner, so keeping it for me is just icing on the cake until it turns into a brick when the electricity cost outweighs the btc generated. So, I would prefer to sell it and even though I said please make an offer, I probably should have said that offers below 35 will most likely not be considered at this point.
from en.bitcoin.it: "About the plastic sheets: please remove them BEFORE mining. we design the case as a part of heatsink, so remove the plastic sheets is a must"
thanks for heads up, but it is cool to the touch and plastic has definitely not melted to the case in any way, it would be the same to pull the plastic off now as it would to be the day I got it.
I am selling an Avalon Asic batch #2 miner that has been running very smoothely at a 7 day 24 hour hash rate average of about 69.5 Ghash over 71Ghas . This miner has never been overclocked and has only been run in an air conditioned room.
Hi, I am new to this forum and I am interested in your topic. Are there any open source ASIC chip designs for bitcoin mining? I am guessing the latest ASIC chips being made by avalon and butterfly labs are being made out of silicon technology similar to designs used for CPUs. I am curious about whether or not design for these type of chips are being considered to be made out of GaAs or GaN. I know silicon has the superiority over GaAs as far is the ability to design complex integration of components, but I believe GaAs can perform much faster than silicon.
I have been mining bitcoin for a while now - just finally got registered on this forum and looking to move out of newb status and not sure quite how yet - this was the first place I found related to that topic - I will keep looking. Thanks!
