I won this in a dual raffle (I was going for the other prize) from Lesbian Cow. Somehow - not assigning blame to Lesbian Cow because I do not really know if the tape was placed on the plastic or my pulling off the taped bubblewrap caused it but the sealed wrapper around the Ledger was damaged.

I took the opportunity to open and take a full set of pictures. I never plugged in the device or turned it on.

So, as this is an extra - I have decided to raffle it off here.




















Shipping: Free in the United States - International at winners expense (I will cover the first $10)

Price per spot: 0.001 BTC

I was asked to add a qr code for accepting the payments - address is the same as the one posted above:



Once all entries are paid I will choose a block.  The last number of that block will determine the winner.
example:
0000000000000000000c93cdcb0f51dabfc547e4960b84cc675d5407f290268a  - 8 is the winner
0000000000000000000a0ab5bf76c9dabbb14d32632efb92e80ff237121d9703 - 3 is the winner

except it has been shown that you can get the private key/code whatever you want to call it with just a flashlight and shining thru it.

ha! beat me to it! good luck to all!

.0022 BTC

that filled up fast! only 3 slots left

it is the rpi 4 - i run it headless and i am running the raspbian that came with it.

maybe - but I still prefer to pay in crypto. If I am cashing out crypto to buy fiat and then use fiat - the whole change in btc value is still in play as it would be if I paid in crypto - the only difference is all the fees associated with fiat.

different concept - had me for a second.

I almost bought all 16 slots lol .0016 would be a nice price for one lol

not to mention this price is close to 700 over what Bitmain charged for the same unit.

btc.com? let me go in and look at my account. I dont recall mining there at all in 2020.

yep it is pool.btc.com - the last payment I show from them in my records is 09/20/2018 - but it came from that same address as the one above.

did they at some time have merged mining that they finally paid out or something?

here is my payment screen nothing since 2018 and it was even a different address than the one I used for btc.com





but at least I can mark it as from them even if I don't know why they paid me.

edit:

in looking back they did have merged mining for NMC, ELA and VCASH which I had no addresses added for those. So maybe they did a clean up and converted them to btc and paid it out - not sure.

Either way, I can consider this closed. Thanks Phil

Nothing wrong with it - I don't use personal funds, I use the business's funds and my business makes it's revenue in crypto - so to buy in fiat requires that I sell the crypto and get fiat cash - I prefer not to do so as much as possible. I have done it a few time though.

.005 btc and change - it was part of a total payment of 25 someodd btc paid out from this one address.

the amount is trivial but the point is I can track down every in/out of every wallet I have except this one damn transaction.

I say kudos to him for building a farm... My progress has halted at buying the land. Most of what I had saved up for the building and infrastructure went to supporting my kids/grandkids - the joy and pain of having 8 kids and 10 grandkids lol - during these months of COVID where they were out of work but unable to get unemployment or assistance due to our state/county sites failing - for my daughter to claim one week took almost 6 hours of straight up logging in, starting the process, getting kicked and starting over - repeated over and over.

Had there been no COVID, I most likely would have my 80'x40' building up and then be working at filling it with miners.
