oh well, i bought antminer s3 like 2 months ago, i should just wait for antminer s7 now.. ? o_O
anyway /sarcasm

looking to see how the first batches rolls out, i might buy one, is there any testing going at the moment?

This is a nice usb hub http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003Z4G3I6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

you can just buy an amazon giftcard from gyft.com or from the digital goods area and get it, i've used 2 of those, they work flawlessly.

BTC-e has lots of payment methods, you could try it, does not take more than 3 minutes to register.

You could get butterbot and get some by doing arbitrage trading or checkout safedice

Sorry for the price, i know its high but im offering a local meet up for the antminers, im willing to take offers too.. let me know

If he uses a sdcard it will wear out really quick. He does not need to use HDMI cable for setup, he can just SSH to the raspberry pi ...

Running a node with raspberry pi seems a big task but.. its possible, for example i was thinking on setting up my raspberry pi b + that ihave around as a cold wallet, but if theres a bitcoin-qt available for ARM you should go ahead and try it.

Move all the things that write on SD to a HDD, here is one of my setups:

you can use some usbs sticks for caching and those things so SDcard does not get corrupted and get a nice external HDD for permanent connection to the raspberry and the node can run on that HDD without having to worry about space.

If you have a hdd around from a laptop you can use: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MQ97QGE/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A29Y8OP2GPR7PE  and use it as a usb

For more usb ports since you may need them, ill recommend this usb hub: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003Z4G3I6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

You would have to set up cross compiling in case that you want to compile the bitcoin-qt or compile it for ARMv6 using your computer.
My first choice would be Arch linux ARM without X server

Well, its possible if you have some luck with primedice, for example, i've some real life friends that started with the faucet, and managed to get around 40-80$ USD dollars, there's another one that started with 10$ USD and went to 1.5 BTC in less than a month, playing daily on primedice, he used 0.5 and lost 1 by mistake.

I dont really understand how can you provide recharges for my country (dominican republic) to the code 849 but cant to the 809, could you explain this?

which avalon and is it configured to use slush pool? please add more information about your case.

You could use cellphone as a mini server for setting cgminer and then connect asics to your Android via vnc through a Linux distribution installed along with Android.. This would require a significant knowledge of Android and Linux and asic but for mining with the cellphone cpu is not profitable nor recommended

This looks really clean, nice.

for the old boys:

how do people actually mined with all those gpus on a single motherboard..? I mean, do you needed all the drivers or what? guide me through it.

does it have a configuration dashboard? could we have a screenshot or photo of it?

I would recommend using the ssh method, poweroff and then after 1 minute, turn off the psu.

one question regarding coinut, are you able to deposit btc into international debit cards?

edit: the site is pretty slow at the moment. Why dont people host with amazon aws to avoid ddos attacks?

Circle works fine, they do deposit my money on my international debit card (its not even from the USA)

You can recharge Dominican Republic numbers starting with 809?

let me know

Circle with cc or debit card, works really well for me.. max buyout per week is 500$ USD ..

I'm traveling to Puerto Rico in December 25, I'll last there till December 29.

Price: 1 BTC
Used only for 1 month.
I would prefer not to use escrow and do a personal meet up.
I would like to avoid shipping from my own country ( Dominican Republic ) since it costs more than 100$ USD per antminer for shipping so unless you are willing to pay this, lets just go with the local meet up.

Post up if you are interested.

my first recommendation are the ones from DannyHamilton

Multibit and Electrum without the blockchain download

and armory/bitcoin core if you need a full node and the whole blockchain
