This is just one damaged unit from eight D3s which arrived.  Seven units are in good condition, and are already working, with quite high hashrate:).  

Unfortunately I did not receive the miners by myself, in which case I would definetely checked the packages.  It was a hosting company where they arrived, and who says me to raise a ticket.  And they did not make a remark on the forwarder's papers when receiving.       It might be also that a worker there dropped the box, who knows...

So it seems to better apply to BM as to a broken board, and send the whole unit.  

Thanks everyone for compassion !  

Hello, did not notice your collateral, sorry.     I just meant that sites which promised to pay high interest income were usually ponzi, and don't live long.

Hello guys,

can you help with advice, please?   My D3 miners arrived damaged, like shown on pictures.   Due to some reasons I couldn't raise a claim to the transporting company.    

I want to raise a repair ticket to BM.    Bitmain says the following on the repair site:

D3: Ship ONLY the defective part or the whole machine

Thus, there are only 3 options for D3 to be selected:  Fan, IO board, or Hash board :

Can anybody say from the picture what is broken?   Fan only ?  

Seems they mixed a wallet with a fork      So, they are warning against Electron Gold wallet,  for keeping Bitcoin Gold crypto.  - this is what I understood.

In fact , BTG turned out to be a token, with al lot of scams are around.    Fake emails from Blockchain.info arrive in big qty, also proposing to claim BTG, by disclosing private keys.   

I hope you are not so naive to get caught on this miserable hook  

give somebody your recovery phrase === loose your money.

And when are you going to start the site?

Bitcoin Gold Wallet Scam Sees Fraudsters Steal $3.2 Million

Another very nice chart in a logarithmic manner  

Log charts are better than linear charts in measuring performance over long periods of time. A jump from 1 to 30 will look tiny compared to a jump from 100 to 200 in a linear chart, even though it is a 3000% increase versus a 100% increase. A log chart fixes this problem.

We can see on this all-time price chart that since Bitcoin was invented, it has been on a steady upward climb, with some major swings in between. You’ll notice that in the early days, the swings were actually bigger and more volatile.

Three times in the history of Bitcoin, the price went parabolic, meaning it went almost straight upwards on the chart. An almost vertical climb on a log chart is hard to achieve unless the price goes up very very fast. This was the case in 2011 and twice in 2013. In both years, Bitcoin increased by at least 100-fold. As you can see, in this 2017 climb from $1,000 to $11,000, we haven’t formed a parabolic uptrend just yet. It will need to track upward towards $100K really fast for that to happen. We are not there yet and in fact, we have a long way to go.

What client are you talkig about, who would need to put more money? That one who borrows 10k, or that one who is lending?

Accounting ‘Big Four’ PwC accepts bitcoin payment in Hong Kong

The firm says it plans to broaden acceptance of digital currencies for payments

It is not immediately clear whether Hong Kong is the only branch within the PwC global network of offices that accepts bitcoin as payment. The firm said that apart from bitcoin, it would also accept other liquid, and established cryptocurrencies, especially from clients it advises in the broader crypto space.
For now, they include clients involved in token sales, crypto exchanges and launch of crypto funds.
“(This decision) is also an indication that bitcoin and other established cryptocurrencies have now developed into more broadly accepted forms of settlement,” said Raymund Chao, chairman of PwC Asia-Pacific in a statement on Thursday night.
A source closed to the firm said that with cryptocurrencies becoming more widely used, the firm was also prepared to consider requests from clients that do not participate in the digital currency sector.
“As the firm works increasingly with companies in the digital asset and cryptocurrency space, it believes that accepting such payments will evolve into an element of doing business in the normal course,” said the statement.

You should ask them for the model they accept, because even if you buy PSU from UL list foud somewhere, they may not fit into GW requirements - with power or with cable connections.

Ask them and share the reply, if you get it  

I can even accept USD wire transfer to my bank account.  Up to you.  Thought this is not the most convenient way, as you all know 

If it increased 10 times each year, it would reach 1M much faster than in 10 years.    In fact speed of increase loweres a little each year - you can see the figures on the graph, in the top line.

Sure.   There is a Metcalfe's law which states that the value of a network is proportional to the square of the number of connected users of the system (n2).

We know that each day Cinbase connect 100 000 new users (!!!).  This must lead to increase in usage of Bitcoin.

You can always choose an existing hostings, which can deploy your miners straight away (though with much higher electrticity cost) - it's up to you.  

And that was and ICO, and most ICO fulfill thier promises with delays.  Etherium ICO, for example, paid off in a few years only.

I think the biggest threat to Bitcoin is inventing some new technology which will be able to break it - for example Quantum computers.  

Even announcing that such tool really exists may drop BTC price significantly, causing massive sellout.

I propose that everyone, who was scammed by this person - raise a support ticket with Bitmain, compaining on his profile  willywonkaa@protonmail.com

 

Maybe Bitmain will block his account, or put some sanctions, which will influence him to return money.

Yes, check your PM .

Hello everybody,  

I want to sell in one whole lot only eight ( 8 ) units of new APW3++ PSUs,  for $1500,  free shipping within US.   (for international shipping add $200).

It happened I had ordered surplus miners from Bitmain, which I don't need (can show the order's screenshot if necessary).  They arrived a week ago, and I did not unpack them.


This makes around $150 price per PSU, if you count the shipping cost from China.


They are located in Washington state, shipping within 5-7 days.


I am ok with BTC/LTC/ETH/DASH.     You may use any escrow listed in bitcointalk, at your expense        Or don't use it, counting on references in my trust section
