61  Economy / Computer hardware / [SOLD OUT] Dipo Electronic 19 port USB hubs on: January 16, 2014, 03:45:20 AM
Industrial 19 port Steel casing USB Hub (with power cable & USB cable)
20 Amps @ 5v
Both 220/110 voltage options available


*** PROPERLY supports Red/Blue/Ice Fury 2.6 Ghs AND Bi-Fury 4+ Ghs USB miners***
Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin



Description
This is a 19 port hub with an integral power supply that is capable of reliably supplying MORE than 700mA per port without overheating or becoming a fire hazard. Comes with usb and power cables, everything you need to make the hub work out of the box.

-   Fully 480mb/s at each port
-   16 Front facing Standard A USB ports
-   3 Side facing Standard A
-   1 Master hub connection Standard B for connection to Computing Equipment or other hubs
-   Fully fused internally via multiple poly-fuse resettable fuses both on each individual port and on the main power feed to the Ports.
-   UK/EU/USA Plugs available!
-   Hub runs COOL
-   Colour: Silver

Unlike cheaper USB ports that only implement links at USB 1.0 standard (12mb/s speeds but state they are 'compatible' with USB 2.0) this is a professional FULL 480 Mb/s port that complies and implements the full 2.0 USB standard. It may also be used to connect to generic USB 1.0 equipment.

The good thing about these hubs is that you can load them up with 19 Bi-Fury miners (around 76 gh/s) and the miners would STILL run as intended.

Price

bitcoin/paypal: $150 usd

Weight
2.2 Kg each hub



Payment Methods
1. Bitcoin: you can just pay BTC and attach the transaction details to this thread.
2. Paypal (PM me for details)

Bitcoin Payment Address: 16NqeYCSwU8fx7FhEpQiuYGaQJgssDuuwS

Send Address by PM, with copy of BTC transaction ID, so we can tie it all together!!!
You MUST give country so we can set voltage switch before shipping!!!


SHIPPING

There are two options available:

1. Expedited Airmail (Speed post) with tracking number (2-5 days):  $70 usd (additional items +$30 usd)
2. Normal Airmail with tracking number (5-14 days) : $40 usd (additional items +$20 usd)

The time it takes for normal airmail really depends. I have seen it as fast as 4 says to places like USA. Right now isn't a busy time so they should be no delays. I have regular shipments going to the post office Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday

I really NEED the following PM info:

1. Full address (if this is wrong then it CANNOT be delivered)
2. Phone number (if express, so the carrier can arrange delivery)
3. Voltage you want it set to 110/220
4. price you translated at (So it is visible if you got the discount for BTC)


Background
Why our hub is 'special'?
(ungrounded BUCK convertors on mains supply are potential killers)
A point than not many people know is that over 90% of the powered USB hubs on the market are actually 'defective', and in many cases have an inherent and potentially dangerous electrical fault.(It's why Chicks in China keep electrocuting themselves when answering a charging  mobile), this is what happens when you design products in isolated labs with little regard for the environment they are used in. (then rip the design without understanding the implications and decision making)

Potentially one of the reasons why we keep seeing so many people with  USB chains that go down or fail to recognize devices when they are plugged in. Usually the people with the SBC's  ( Pi, etc) are more prone to these faults, because these  powered USB hubs usually come with a PSU that has been ripped from a phone PSU design and as such were never designed to operate in a USB environment worse many USB implementations incorrectly mix the shield with the 0V line.

A very simple test…..
Take your USB hub PSU and measure the output voltage, you should see about 5-12v.
Now… find an earthed point (metal computer case) and measure first from GND to the center pin of the 5-12v PSU and then GND to the outside tab of the 5-12v PSU.(making a note of the readings each time)
On the shitty PSU's you can maybe read as much as 120-160v between the PSU & GND.
So….. the question is… when you have your nice shiny computer running, and you plug in your 10USD USB hub with the external PSU, WTF does the 120-160V difference in potential go once the supply is no longer floating?
(…. yep into the GND connection of the connected USB equipment, which then throws the USB silicon out of wack & possibly causing latch-up of the silicon.)


Powered USB hubs are a VERY bad idea unless they are EARTHED and have PSU's DESIGNED with a Delta.!!!!
A REALLY REALLY cool trick is that if you 'stack' multiple 'cheap' powered hubs into each other and reverse the PSU two pin plugs, you can build a voltage multiplier.
62  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / How to integrate BTC payment system to a e-commence website on: October 16, 2013, 11:55:23 AM
Hi everyone,

I have been playing around with btc the last few weeks, mining, etc and i told my dad about it and he thought it was really cool. I managed to convince him to start accepting BTC payments for his business.

So basically, I want to help my dad integrate BTC payment system into his business website. He runs a teaching material online shop + forum where customers discuss and exchange lesson plans, material modifications, etc. He would like to allow each user to have their own BTC address attached to the site so when they sign up the wallet is there for them to transfer btc into if they wish to purchase materials/resources, etc from the site. BTC is appropriate because we have schools around the world who are members of our site (Africa, UK, Asia, etc).

Can anyone help? How easy would this be to integrate into a website?

Thanks!!!

Ok, so i am a real idiot because i thought Mt Gox was still operating in Asia. Made a wire transfer and it has now been 6 working days and no deposit!?!

Told me it can take up to 10 working days and to expect it on the 10th working day!! Are they for real??? Never had so much difficulty trying to get my money into anyway before. I am fully verified...identity, address etc. Are they taking me for a ride or what?

All newbies beware! stay away from Mt Gox.

Found this site that lets you bet on the price movement of BTC/USD. Was wondering if anyone had used them in the past? are they legit?
65  Bitcoin / Hardware / NEW ASIC Annoucement! Never stop believing! on: June 24, 2013, 05:09:05 AM

ASIC is due September

What is the difference?

Our initial plan is to sell 10% and run other 90% to our investors.
Units that we will sell will be transformable just like those bad ass transformers from that movie transformers, so you can easily turn them into a badass projector and watch a load of jap porn while your device hashes away religiously. Will also be liquid nitrogen cooled and integrated quantum physics along side the basic ASIC chip design.

We have to keep our Intellectual Property protected and abide by the Aliens who handed over this tech to us guys, so please understand that there are some things that I can't divulge, such as address, history, photos, business registration, country of origin, etc.

BTW, I am not an electrical engineer, so give me a break on that. I am the CEO Pimp Daddy Yo!.

Details so far:
$22.98/GH (cause am greedy yo and i got to make some part of this believable)
Fixed for pre-orders only. Auctioned live when pre-orders had been filled.
G3-104-X3-1240GH - $18,795 (288W-1,440W on 120V/15A)
G3-104-X4-2320GH - $26,384 (384W-1,920W on 120V/20A)

To be able to fuller utilize 5A and 15A on 120V circuit or their multiples, or other voltage variations, we had made 3x and 4x module design to fit into 5A and 15A respectively.

Target power use is between 0.2W - 1W/GH depending on final implementation by using our special patented zero point potential energy do-daddy .

Many of our competitors had quoted and continue to quote unrealistic power use numbersso we will continue to do the same.

While we did initially stated that we were contemplating 1nm ASIC, from this point on, we will not be releasing chip specifications only the hash rate and power consumption as the exact underlying technology makes no difference and we would like to protect our IP.

Tentative shipping schedule:
~ 10 weeks @ 500 units a day
~ 8 weeks @ 1000 units a day
then @ 200+ units a day

66  Economy / Gambling / Leverage trading possible? on: June 22, 2013, 08:19:55 PM
Any sites that allow you to open "long" or "short" positions (i.e. leverage trading) for BTC/USD and LTC/USD currency pairs?
67  Bitcoin / Hardware / metabank.ru ASIC Miner on: June 20, 2013, 02:53:56 PM
Have they started taking pre-orders yet?

Do they have a good reputation in the community. I only hear a little about these guys but their miners are fairly priced...
68  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Insane Prediction for difficulty increases on: June 07, 2013, 04:57:28 AM
I hypothesize that difficulty increase will DOUBLE every 40 days from now until the market is flooded with ASICs

If we use this as a calculation for the difficulty rate in September we get:


15,000,000 x 1.20 ^ 4 =  31,104,000 (difficulty on 16/07/2013)

31,104,000 x 1.40 ^ 4 = 119,489,126 (difficulty on 26/08/2013)

119,489,126 x 1.80 ^ 4 = 1,254, 349,053 (difficulty on 1/09/2013)

These calculations presume that:
120 days till September
12 lots of 10
every 10 days difficulty increases
every 40 days that increase doubles

I hope i am wrong but at these levels even a 350Ghz miner in September wont really be a profitable ROI, even if the price of BTC was 350 USD

I have been selling things on the internet (ebay, amazon, etc) for many years now and i pride myself in dealing with high quality and rare merchandise. Got bit by the bitcoin bug pretty hard and anyway i am pretty tired of being bum ****ed by ebay and his little brother paypal so this seems the next logical step.  

So going to pop my BTC market cherry with these bad boys but will be listing lots of other cool stuff in the weeks to come.
