I concur. They are temper-mental due to not being single rail but quality and performance none the less. |

Keep in mind with 6 gpu you may need 2 power supplies.
Really try p.v.c. and 2 hours of your time. It will take a couple days to work all the kinks out of the rig and software.

I have a lot of experience selling miners on eBay. It comes down to this:
If in US; don't ship outside the continental US.
Don't sell to anyone with bad or low feedback.
Anticipate every possible failure a new miner might have and explain it in your description.
Take actual pictures of each miner including serial numbers, and miner gui screenshots.
List each miner as rated at what GH it typically mines at; not the retail rating.
Clearly state you do not accept returns.
Clearly state your shipping and handling time; and always ship within your handling time.
Include lan cable and jumper switch if possible.
Clearly state what type of PSU is needed, and make recommendations.
MOST OF ALL; know that the best time to sell is also the most likely time you will get screwed. Choose a price that gives you a small profit or is an even trade; and reasonable miners will buy from you. Choose a high price and you will only attract scammers and delusional noobs. If you want to sell miners as a business; make your own website and don't accept PayPal.
Barring the S5+, the S7 is probably the worst miner to sell on eBay; due to its 10x pcie, specific power on sequence (with multiple psu's), need to be set to a manual fan speed, voltage sensitivity, lack of a front fan grill, propensity of individual heatsinks to fall off in shipment, and most importantly high individual unit value.
Agreed. EBay buyers usually will pay more but shipping can kill you. . be careful. C.L. is good, no shipping, but harder to sell for what asking price is. The forum knows the going price and will always try to make a deal in their favor. It just depends on what are you willing to sell them for to find where to sell. |

Why the Pi2, the Pi3 is out for the same price from MCM electronics. 64 bit and twice the performance.

Wow... Increasing by a dollar+ a day is huge, surpassing Litecoin even more. It has a strong backing and since it's gpu based many larger companies won't hop in.

Great and much appreciated post. I will check, may have a few. I hope your venture makes some smiles to the kids.

Why not build your own out of p.v.c. for $15-$20 at your local hardware store. Videos on YouTube for help. I've built 3 took about 1 hour with paint. Easy money.

I don't see the relevance of your above post since we are dealing with the original op. But good to be aware of mispelled names I suppose.

I tried to get solo up and running but found pool setup to work without issues. Nano pool does fluctuate with extreme spikes, thought it was my settings. I find Ethereum to be a challenge due to scattered bits of info and guides that are too general. Much like any new crypto I suppose.

You know these open talks with Bitfury sure is refreshing.
I had my mind made up that they never again would engage the community.

Enjoying the progress... Drool.....
Too bad the weather doesn't permit this every where in the U.S. to make it worth it.
What is worth it.... The inevitable move!
Look forward for more.

Unless I'm mislead ( depending on initial costs and utilities ) it is very profitable right now. Yes I know difficulty and price fluctuation always play a part but hey that's the name of the game. Sure blocks were easier awhile back but if you already have the rigs... why not? Is there something I'm missing?

A little late to the discussion but very pleased to hear Notfuzzywarm and jstefanop are in talks with sidehack. Great pool of minds and collective..  |

If I can remember correctly it was used to power the controller for the hashing boards when I used it on my S4.

The best $100 spent in some time.   Sometimes the small things matter more. |

Why has Bitfury been behind closed doors for so long? Is it because it was profitable to self mine and support product to other data centers. The halving and difficulty must play a part in this, oh and can't forget the cost of the new chip development.
I'm not a basher, I am extremely excited to have this come to market. I just hate the fact they left the home miner without any options to buy their product until now.
Will be waiting to see if they will indeed sell chips to Sidehack. That's the game changer.

Thanks for your continued efforts and support.
I agree it made it that much more fun being part of the group, albeit the flashy light thingies.
" When your Cool the sun shines on you 24 hrs a day", may this be true.
I await the next projects that may pop up.
To that I say adieu!

These are $50+ to ship just across the U.S., $60-$80 to Canada from U.S.. Could only assume shipping costs from you to North America would be almost equal cost to the actual unit itself.
Try and find a distributor to buy in bulk or your going to have to keep them on your continent.
6 months ago or more would have had more opportunity.

True but as we can see the price per gigahash is now half of what it was from that thread.

A system where your Internet Reputation™ is essentially your financial reputation? This hardly sounds like a trustless model to me anyway.
It needs to start sometime/somewhere or are you satisfied with the safety and trust of the btc community and internet? |
