I'm still waiting on my batch 1 miners.  I've got 20 of them stuck in China customs since the 16th.  They say they keep trying to contact Bitmain.  I sent a message to Bitmain almost a week ago.  No response.

Odd...  I would think Bitmain has sent enough of these to not make that mistake.  Who knows though.  I should probably contact them.  :-/

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Has anyone had customs take this long before?  If I had an option to cancel this, I would.  It's going to be two weeks without mining by the time this gets here:

Anyone else still waiting for customs?  All of my S3s have been stuck there for almost 7 days now.    :-/   I'm losing all kinds of BTC while waiting.

Maybe you know this already, but remember that the electrical load is being spread between two conductors to the home.  If you manage to put 100 amps on one conductor, the breaker will trip even if the other conductor only has 50.  You've got quite a bit there (especially the AC), but you may be able to rearrange things so that the breaker doesn't trip (move some of the miners to a different circuit either by plugging them in somewhere else or swapping a breaker or two in the panel so that the load is on the other conductor).  If you've got a clamp meter, it'd be handy.

Got my refund today for 3 Neptunes (in BTC)

Same.  I requested a refund on my CA batch 1 Neptunes.  Mine was a very early order, but I still can't justify keeping the order vs a refund at this point.

Something is either wrong with the fan controller or the RPM wire is loose (so it's defaulting to full speed).  The S1's are almost dead quiet when they're cold, but the fan will ramp up a little as they warm up.

The original buyer responded last night and all blades have been paid for.  Thanks for looking.

The buyer hasn't been responding to PMs since the initial offer to buy the blades.

They're up for grabs by anyone else again, and the price has been lowered to 0.076 BTC each.

You said in your PM that you were interested in buying just one, and then eventually maybe buying more.

Again, I've got a possible buyer for all of them.  I'll give him a little time to respond/pay and then I'll entertain other offers for smaller orders.


There are quite a few SHA256 alt coins.  Perhaps you missed out on the Mazacoin/Takeicoin madness? 

Tell me about it.  :-/

Not even close.  Losing more than half of my money isn't doing very well at all, and if it's measured in USD instead, I meant "losing more than 85 percent of my money".  The opportunity cost on the blades was brutal.

Hi.  Sorry, I've disregarded a lot of PMs that asked me for unreasonable deals and free shipping (which likely costs half of the price of a blade or more for just a single item).  I only have so much time to respond to PMs, so I can only take serious offers seriously.

I have an offer to buy the whole lot and am waiting on a response.  I'd much rather sell in bulk than to 50+ buyers, so we'll see if the deal goes through and I'll update the thread.

I'll work out a volume discount if someone buys in volume.  2 doesn't exactly qualify for 15 percent off.    Sorry.


Shipping is whatever it costs to get from Idaho to your location.  I'm betting that's a bit more than 0.01 BTC.

Well, I was one of the insane people who bought blades at BTC40+ BTC when they came out.  Now yours for BTC0.076 each + shipping.  lol.  I know I can do better on eBay, but I'd much rather not have to deal with that mess.

These are still profitable for me to run, but I need to free up space for other equipment (I'm out of power).  These blades have been running rock solid for almost a year at 13GH each.  Especially with a little altcoin mining, you should be able to break even on these fairly easily/quickly.

I have 54 blades for sale.  I know I have the original boxes for 48 of them, but I need to check on the rest.  Each unit includes all 3 components of the blade, the angled power connector, and a bare-wire PCI-E adapter to connect a standard ATX PSU if desired.

Shipping will be from Idaho, USA.

For a regular breaker, the only thing that will trip it is heat (and a short circuit will quickly heat up the bi-metal in the breaker).

The exception to this are RCD breakers (commonly called GFCI breakers in the US).

Someone on the forums accidentally spelled "hold" as "hodl" in a serious advice post.  It was in huge red bold letters, so it was even more hilarious.  It stuck, and it was quite funny.

You're taking this one too far.  Get a sense of humor.

Also, what is "pulicise"?   

Hrmm...  While I see what you're saying, I'd likely be considered "big fish" on Coinbase and haven't had any issues at all.

+1.  Anyone have an answer to this?
