Your audience certainly matters but I'm not to set about cold calling businesses in my free time, which means my casual interactions with people will be much more frequent and that .05% is going to add up.

Thanks Franky. I do disagree about asking the cashier. Many organizations solicit bottom up ideas. The grooming guy could be the next store manager, an executive's nephew etc. The guy could also be starting his own company or moving to a new organization.

Executive example:
Lets say an executive asks his group "what's this bitcoin I read about?"

In scenario "A" everyone gives a blank stare and the issue dies.

In scenario "B" eveeyone shrugs but a couple say "You know I had a few customers asking about that."

In scenario A you need a lot more luck or a tech savy executive to adopt BTC. In scenario B, any exec looking to increase revenues will take interest.

+ the investment on my (our?) Part is minimal... "Do you accept Bitcoin? No? Ok."

Not to mention second hand listeners in line hearing an exchange about bitcoin.

I draw a lot of blank stares when I talk about bitcoin. I figure the last thing a guy working his job wants to hear about is a stranger droning on about some new kind money. Awareness promotes familiarity, familiarity promotes trust..or assuages fear at least. Advertising 101.

Me: How much would it cost to trim a cat's claws?
Petco: About $12 and we need evidence of rabies shots
Me: Do you accept Bitcoin?
(Girlfriend starts making wierd noises)
Petco: What's that?
Me: (keeping brief because gf is still sounds like she's choking) It's like a Visa...or Cash.
Petco: Oh. I've never heard of Bitcoin but I guess if it has a Visa logo...
Me: Its cool. We have cash.


This isnt to make fun of the Petco guy. The way I see it, I'm doing him and Bitcoin a favor. Some day he'll hear it again, and maybe on the third or fifth time he'll look it up. I plan to ask at every business now.

OK i think I understand where i went wrong. I thought the miner wanted 3kw and the PSU's were supplying 2.4kw.

 what the ad means is the miner will draw 2400kw from the psu's which is 3kw from the wall using an 80 plus power supply.

 

That's neat i will get one if i get an s3. Anyone have some knowledge they can help me with about the spondoolies?

How would 2x 1.2kw PSUs support a 3kw  power usage?

Specs say 3000w nominal draw but it comes with 2x 1200w PSU?

In the states wont that translate to less than 3kw?

Pretty new to mining so sorry if it is a dumb qiestion. Want to pick up an Antminer s3 but their site doesnt appear to updated and their twitter has been dead since beginning of month.  Cant find one near OC cali. thinking about hopping in on the next gen miners when i found this. Im still a noob.

Hi. Im considering colocating 2 KNC Neptunes in southern california.

Ive never colocated before so things like racks, rack space units are new to me. It appears impossible to get a hold of these guys on a Sunday to discuss methods and pricing. When i do get a hold of a pricing scheme it looks to be about $349 per 20a/110V rack.

I get the feeling from what Ive read that that isnt what people are paying for their miners or that the power supply feels rather limited.

Any advice is much appreciated.
