I just posted this and pulled it off the market, putting it back out there.

Looking to sell this in the next hour (as in me taking it to FedEx before it closes).  Tongue

Runs great. (240GH/s average, newest firmware).  October batch.
Comes with 600W Thermaltake PSU.

PM for it.

Redacted for now.

Doesn't look like I'll make this sale before the weekend.
Thank you for all the interest.  This may be up again in the future while I try to sort out what to do with some of my gear.

4  Bitcoin / Group buys / [GATHERING INTEREST] New York Neptune Group-Buy on: December 04, 2013, 04:39:53 AM
I have the option of grabbing a Neptune (have a Saturn and two Jupiters).
Wondering if there's any interest of a group-buy on a Neptune (or two?)?  I think it would be great if the group-buy could be localized to New Yorkers so that we can get together and possibly embark on a more ambitious venture then simply paying and collecting BTC... but if there's no interest in a local group-buy I would not be opposed to extending the opportunity to others.

Details of said group-buy are obviously pending interest.

PM or post input!

Any amount.

Prefer people with some sort of rapport around here.  IF you don't have any be prepared to offer up some verifiable info.

7  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Thinking about getting out of mining... input? on: November 30, 2013, 12:01:52 AM
I started mining with a 5880 about 3 years ago. 
Been through the Butterfly Lab debacle (thought eventually my order did ship).
Now I have about a 4.5 TH/s pool.

The thing is... this thing takes time to maintain.  When a piece goes down, it's an hour or two to RMA.  An hour or two to set up.
It's stressful knowing that your main source of income is "broken".
I have a full-time job (now) and I am realizing that this might not be worth it.  On top of this, I was broken into already and had my miners snatched... this is something I don't want to live with any more.  I don't talk to my friends about my mining gear because I am paranoid about it getting stolen again.

I have one room in my apartment that I simply cannot go into because of the heat (which is awesome in the winter).

Is it worth it to stay in the game?  I'm exhausted with watching forums 5 hours/day seeing what new hardware is on the rise. 

Bitcoins are literally making me go crazy.

Has any prolific (though I know I'm not "prolific") miners ever completely gone cold-turkey?  Sold their gear for BTC/fiat and just left the game?  What was that experience like?  Do you regret it?

Thanks! Smiley

PM if there's any interest.

Will sell for last trade in USD on BTC-E.

You go first, I go second.  Low value item like this should be enough to let you know I ain't here to rip no one off.  Smiley

Thank ya!

I am wondering how much these are going for.

In your guys' experience; how much does BTC <--> Fiat affect the cost of mining gear?

Thanks for input! Smiley
10  Economy / Trading Discussion / Necessity of innovation in the Buy/Sell sphere... on: November 24, 2013, 06:52:41 PM
as someone who has always been an early-adopter and an aspiring pioneer of cutting-edge ideas, i have come to understand that the 3rd party transaction marketplace is in need of an overhaul.

backstory: had some miners up for sale on craigslist about a year ago, was transparent in my dealings with all purchasers because i recognized (at the time) the vulnerability of BUYERS in the bitcoin market.  this transparency led to skype conversations and even some potential buyers coming to my place of residence to check out my miners.
fast-forward to a few days later when i come home from work and find that my mining rigs, along with my personal computer were all stolen.
police contacted and what have you.  because i am renting i didn't have any insurance.

feel-good moment: reconciled losses with fiat and when BTC hit $350 i sold to repurchase mining gear.  Smiley

what i am saying here, is that the onus of legitimacy always lies on the seller, and this is how it ought to be, but at the same time, pure legitimacy lies in the revealing of very personal information; information that comes in direct contradiction to some of the ideas that Bitcoin is rising from (anonymity!).

So how can the average buyer protect themselves, not from scam, but from personal identifiers being exploited (like in my case)?

I could go on, but I see this is a book already.

i'd like to hear your thoughts! Smiley

EDIT/TL;DR: Craigslist listing for one of my miners : Exposed address : Broken into : Can't sell anything with legitimacy, leading to the divulging of personal identifiers which people exploit.  How to get around this?
