Have you checked out the GAW`s website?
They accept paypal, so problem solved lol.
Mmm, I'm not following. I'm saying I would pay the person selling me to via Paypal since I haven't mined enough in any digital currency yet to pay that way. Looking to buy not sell if that's where the confusion was. They sell those miners on their site, and accept paypal. no they don't |

I hope you undestand and will keep your word about crediting ealier buyers instead of following stinky "chinese business model" What is 'stinky' about trading with the Chinese? GAW trade with them and plenty of buyers of A2's trade with them. I'm increasingly concerned about the degree of xenophobia and outright racism that is casually thrown about in trade threads. Much of it appears to come from those flag-waving 'patriots' for whom anything outside of their national border is treated as some foreign third-world nation that just needs to 'be like them'. In my experience with dealing with the Chinese I have found them to be trustworthy and reasonable. They might not have the 'western' gloss and finish to their shop-front that you are used to, but if you wanted to be scrypt mining on 28nm ASICS before anyone else had even shipped, they were delivering in spades. If you read what was written you would see you answered your own question. |

Did Gaw Miners stop selling the Blades?
Ide like to know this too. I emailed them but they never responded. Not at the moment. Gridseed it at my door, literally, every day for us to start buying again. But I will not, until they honor their commitment to reimburse our customers. It stinks, but if someone does not make a stand, they will keep doing it Have to say it's a shame they are being dicks about it as I thought the blade was a good product, but it's good to see someone taking a stand against their shitty business practices. |

Basically he says USD is better because with USD you're losing your purchasing power at a predictable rate. Lol.
What a fucking joke. What a fucking moron.
But that IS the primary benefit of USD. Stability is the single most desirable attribute for a currency to have. |

Is there a tactical name for this type of transaction?
Yea it's called fucking up and getting lucky. |

While I would certainly agree with you that Gridseed as a company cares nothing about cryptos (or their customers for that matter), I guess I just find it disingenuous at best to claim the device only does 2Mh/s when everyone here using them is getting 2 and a half times that minimum. Even running at stock speed of 750MHz it gets the rated performance of 5.2Mh/s so I really don't know what you were doing that you couldn't get that.
I realize that perhaps you did get an early model and maybe that is why it didn't work for you, but given that you are sticking to that opinion and continuing to reference that analysis despite all evidence to the contrary seems strange. I mean it isn't like there are dozens of different models out there taking up all your testing time.
The other company you decided to to write about KNCminer, you said in this thread that you were only discussing scrypt miners hence why you left out bitmain, but your entire blurb about this company discusses nothing but their bitcoin miners.
I guess the blog just seems rather pointless to me. But whatever, it's your blog and I've said my piece so I'll leave it alone now.

Actually, Litecoin mining with a few gridseed miners looks pretty promising in the long run.
Not anymore, look at the 250 MHz asic from KNCminer... Soon the difficulty would go 10x... Oh, you have one of these?  |

Your analysis sucks tbh. First of all wth is the point of this? Only one company on your list actually has a working product as of right now so who cares what you think about the rest of them? Pretty hard to compare companies\products when there is only one company shipping at the moment.
Second, I read your bs on the blades. Your main argument seemed to be that they weren't "innovative enough" (I wonder what that says about everyone who was mining scrypt with r9 280x's). Who cares if it is innovative? It was superior in every way to the 5 chip gridseeds and sold for the same price. It read like a piece one would write if they tried to get a deal with gridseed but couldn't. Seriously, you claimed you couldn't get more then 2Mh/s out of the thing. I personally have dozens of them running rock solid stable at 5.5, and I know many other people on here do too. Maybe you don't know how to work it?
I'm waiting with baited breath to see what illustrious gem of wisdom you have for us on the 8th day.

Interesting.. when I looked at the math for CanadaCoin it didn't seem to work out well for miners -- too much premine/giveaway of coins, compared to the block rewards and total available coins for miners.
I Think in paper the math could be a bit scarry but I have been talking to the dev I feel it's on the up and up and the math could be a reason for the low traction, but as miner now on that coin the low block reward could be a moot point because the diff is so low. But again it's made it on a small exchange seems to have a following building and it seems to be the only coin in the last 10 days that had a smooth launch, I would encourage you ipominer to possibly reach out to the Canada coin dev again just a suggestion because I noticed some posts in here of miners willing to take a bit more risk. I'de be much more inclined to trust ipominer's assessment of the coin then the developer, who obviously has every incentive to lie. |

The SEC doesn't care if you trade garbage stocks. The SEC does care if you attempt to manipulate the market by releasing information that isn't true, driving up the price, and dumping it. That's all the article says anyways. Did you read something different? Anyways, wtf does this have to do with bitcoin?

How could dumbasses complain about it if it was still a "secret"? If the word's out, its not exactly a secret anymore, is it?
Okay you're a little slow so let me break it down in simple words. They find out. They don't tell anyone. Someone at some point finds out about it. People like you bitch "why wasn't I told about this when they first found out? Why did they try to cover it up?" I don't know all the facts but likely it was discovered by some students who painfully had to describe the problem to a bunch of government employees who will never fully understand it. So, if the students know about the problem first, good luck trying to keep it under wraps. Better to just admit you messed up.
You freely admit you don't know all the facts. But you'll be happy to speculate and make shit up anyway, apparently. If I was a lawyer I would probably take this to the next level and try to use it as an excuse to get out of paying for the rest of my student loan, but there's only so many hours in a lifetime and how many of them do you want to spend litigating with anal retentive know-nothings?
And if I was the bank that loaned you the money I would ask you wtf does a data breach at some other company have to do with the money you owe me? Let me ask you this. Say hypothetically a company you do business with has a security breach. And potentially, some of your information was leaked. Would you rather they tell you right away, or cover it up and try to keep it a secret? Second question. Does your reaction to how the school responded encourage the response you want, or discourage it? |

Well, a real space heater can be had for like $25 to $50. Can be turned on and off at will, heats up instantly, makes no noise, can be moved easily, requires no setup whatsoever, needs nothing but an ordinary power outlet, etc. An S1 has none of that and you want to sell it as a space heater for 5 times the price of a real space heater that is better in every way? Yea sure if you're mining anyway it might make sense to use this for that. But for a non miner? Good luck with that.

I don't get what is so funny? Were they supposed to keep it a secret so that dumbasses could then complain that no one told them about this? Isn't that what people bitched at Target for?

This is to expensive.... Mini titan is 5000 and mines 150 mhs
Thats awesome! You should post pictures of your mini titan hashing for us  |

Investments are risks. The only variable that really matters for your ROI calculations is the BTC / USD price. If it bounces back to 600-700$ we are all happy. If it goes down to 200-300$ we are all fucked.
Right, the price of the unit, it's resale value, how much it hashes, and how much power it consumes. None of those things have any bearing at all on the value of the investment  |

Right, I think this is a huge concern for many people. I know for myself I would love to order some products, but with the prices and terms changing like every 5 minutes, it just seems wiser at this point to wait until this is all sorted out and then decide.
I know of no new price changes. But if there is, just like we JUST proved, we will pass the upside to our customers  Well okay as an example, your miners were one price, then a different price yesterday, and now a different price today. As another example, I was one of those people who bought blades right before the price cut. I had them shipped to me not hosted, so I can't upgrade. Don't get me wrong, I'm not blaming you, I realize these issues are outside your control and you have done your best to help people who got caught in the price drop. And of course as a consumer I WANT price drops! But at the same time, it makes it difficult to calculate just how much money, if any, we are going to make with these things when quite literally tomorrow they could be worth half the price they are today if any of the manufacturers makes a sizable change to pricing. Again, not your fault, but it is what it is. The other thing, and I can't be the only one wondering this, but what exactly is in these things? This was asked on another thread but no one ever really answered, except to say they are not gridseed chips in them. So whos chips are they? And how accurate are the specs on them? Have you tested these units yet and can you confirm the hashrates? What about the power consumption? Those numbers look pretty high. Actually, they look less efficient then blades. Are those numbers accurate, or are they very conservative? |

2 questions.
1. You listed them as 40 chip miners, but in the pictures they look like 80 chip miners. Can you please confirm?
2. Escrow available?
