Very doubtful as I don't think the Chinese legal system would be very favorable to lawsuits from(as an example) US based attorneys and AFAIK they don't have a presence in the US to be able to sue them in the US court system. Worst they would get is bad publicity from all the buyers they shafted and bad PR IMHO. Only ones who would benefit are the attorneys who get payed no matter what lol.

Just curious what is the power usage like at 13GH? I'm guessing it's a 19.3GH model correct? Prices have indeed dropped quite a bit on these as unless you have free power or need the heat at 10 cents/KWhr there's basically no longer any profitability unfortunately. Plus Bitmain is about to start shipping a new batch next week which means most likely a diff increase soon.


Thanks! 

Pretty much everyone is wondering this and it's a very difficult question since there's nothing much to base what the bottom will be like an oversold RSI indicator for a stock before the recovery(If there is one), so it's pretty much anyone's guess.

About a month ago it was down to almost 7k before rising again, so that might be a good place to make a speculative investment, but I've never been great with catching the falling knife 

Link to an article with any type of evidence or research to support such a claim?

Not sure if you're still looking for one, but they're being sold for $399 each shipped in this thread:

What type of power supply is it an HP or some type of 1200W sever PSU? Also is US domestic shipping included in that price or how much would it be?

Thx!     

Are these 19.3GH units that have been downclocked? What's the power usage like at current speeds?

Price per unit? Local pickup available?

Isn't BCX(BitcoinX?) Scrypt?

I've never actually had one and don't really know much about the cooling system. Just figured it might be fun to try and fix one if it's cheap enough. I was going to purchase some "working" ones when the profitability was better, but seeing how many have cooling system issues I'm thinking it might not be worth the risk.

I may be interested in trying to repair it where did it spring a leak exactly? Tried to send a pm about the shipping cost but it looks like you'd have to message me first.

Thx 

BFL had a underclocking manual for these, it's somewhat brief but does explain this a bit. I'll see if I can post the manual here, but here's some excerpts from it:

Passing commands:

Setting Frequency:
To set the regular frequency, command: ‘F’,’<INDEX>’,’X’ can be used.  This sets the frequency index in regular mode (the slower mode). To operate in the fast 2x mode, ‘F’<INDEX>’D’ must be used.   
For example, to set the frequency to index 3 in regular mode, ‘F3X’ must be submitted. To set the frequency index to 1 at 2x mode, ‘F1D’ should be used. Once either command is issued, the on-board controller recalibrates all the engines on the board to decommission the ones that can’t operate with the new frequency setting. It is HIGHLY recommended to set the core-voltage to proper value before changing the frequency. 
Since the on-board ASICs use Ring-Oscillators, frequency index cannot be accurately mapped to any number (variance could be as high as 40%). Temperature and core voltage will affect the frequency as well.

Were all 3 500gh or did you get some 700gh as well? Do they have 2 pcie power plugs or 3? The older ones have 2 I think.

Was seriously thinking about order a pack of these, but I'm kinda glad I didn't yet as the profitability took a huge nose dive down to like 15 cents a day  lol.

Have been reading the official underclocking documentation on these, but it's fairly sparse about what you can actually expect to get from the huge range of frequency settings available. Basically I'd be interested in finding the absolute best W/GH these can produce.

One thing that I can't find any more information about is the 2x Mode mentioned in the manual other than that it's only available with voltage indexes of 4 or above. I even used an archive to search the old BFL forums, but nothing about it there either. Is it actually worth messing with? Does it double performance or some such?

Thanks! 

Received my seconds sticks yesterday have been messing with them and so far I'm very pleased with their performance they actually clock better than I expected. All the ones I've tested seem to work fine at 225MHz with a 80mm fan blowing on them. Thx!  

Might be interested in a few as space heaters, but are these units made before Apr 2015 or on/after Apr 2015? The older ones before Apr 2015 will only work with a special windows only 64bit version of BFG miner, while the newer ones would work with a rasp pi.

Thx!

Where would these be shipping from? How much for shipping to the U.S.?

Thanks!

I'd be interested in just the Pi 3 if you ever decide to part it out. Also would the shipping be US domestic or international?

Thanks!

PM'd an offer.

Thanks!

Just sent payment and PM'd the info. Thanks!
