1  Economy / Goods / FS: Upgraded Polaris SL700 PWC ("Jet Ski") on: April 27, 2012, 05:24:01 AM
Hi, folks! I just posted this listing over at bitcointrading.com and I'm reposting it here. While that's a very nice looking forum, it doesn't have much action yet since it's new, and I want to get some more exposure.

I'm trying to find a new home for my 1996 Polaris SL700 personal watercraft. This is a very fun and relatively stable 2-seater, which is a blast jumping wakes or spinning out. It'll do almost 50MPH flat out, which is a lot faster than it sounds!

It's been upgraded by me personally with the engine and electronics out of a 1999 Polaris SLTH, giving it an extra 15HP. It has power trim, an aftermarket scooped intake grate, stainless steel impeller, and a decent single-unit trailer with LED tail lights.

I'll include what's left of the original engine (one cylinder is toast) and lots of other spare parts. I'll even throw in a vest, if it fits ya.

Almost forgot, I've got a nice factory "Polaris Racing" cover, too, in pretty decent shape. Aside from the footwell pads coming loose, which I can glue back in or you can replace with nicer aftermarket items, the ol' boat looks really nice because it's been covered all its life. I'll shine it up good and take some pics if anyone's seriously interested.

I'm asking 150BTC or $850. I would also consider a trade for a Butterfly Labs BitForce Single.

It's located near Lake Anna, in central Virginia (USA), though I could probably arrange transportation to another nearby lake if you'd like to try it out. And of course I'll ship it anywhere in the world if you want to pay for that. Wink

The water sports season is upon us, get your toys together and have a blast!

PS - If anybody in the central VA area just wants to take it for a spin, let me know. I'll take BTC to cover gas and we'll just have some fun on the lake!

Anybody have use for a dedicated wallet generator?

This is an idea I've been bouncing around in my head for a little while now, and I want to see if anybody else is already working on something similar.

I'd like to put a microcontroller in a small label printer, and at the press of a button (or several, for random seed generation) it prints two labels. One has a wallet address, the other has the corresponding private key, both with QR codes.

No computer necessary, instant air gap, open source code.

With some extra effort, it could be expanded to give GPG keys, other currency wallets, etc. Anything you'd normally disconnect and reboot your computer to a live cd for, so long as it uses hashing algorithms that a microcontroller can handle in a reasonable amount of time.

Think I could sell many of these if I started making 'em?

Anybody got a solar powered mining rig yet? The ZTEX FPGA rig, at <10W, with a ~1W embedded linux box as a controller and a cell phone as network access sounds doable on a 30-50W solar panel with a good battery.

Being that I've been homeless by choice for several years now, that seems like about the only way I'll be able to mine out of a backpack.

Thoughts?
