Shameless plug: in case anyone want to buy lasers that actually deliver on their specs, see my sig  I wish I had discovered this thread earlier, I could have told you from the beginning that this was an obvious scam. Green lasers at 2000mW are extremely advanced pieces of technology, it is doubtful it would even be possible to make them handheld, let alone in a pointer size running on regular batteries. This thread reads like someone claiming to sell a 1000 horsepower luxury car without any information for $500. It's just not gonna happen. Unfortunately it is common for many laser sellers to lie about powers as many customers couldn't tell the difference between different power levels due to lack of comparisons or power meters. |

You might want to lower your price a bit. Buying it of that website would cost $360.
Plus shipping, and in many countries VAT. I paid around $500 for mine total IIRC. Plus the fact that an assembled one is worth more than the kit they sell on the website. I used at least 5 hours building it, time and equipment is not worthless. I'll lower the price eventually if it doesn't sell, but I think this is a fair price TBH. |

I'm selling my onetesla musical tesla coil 220V version. Info here: oneTesla Musical Tesla Coil KitCompletely built. Includes MIDI interrupter and USB-midi adapter. In pretty good shape, it has had some flashovers but nothing serious. Price $290, that includes worldwide shipping. Here is a (bad) video of this very coil in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMVlbtWFccoNB: Not a toy, risk of serious electrocution if handled improperly. Good knowledge of electronics and a multimeter for testing ground continuity is recommended. Sold as-is because of sensitive components. Spare parts is available from the onetesla site. |

Most lasers are back in stock now!
And, we just reduced the prices on many more of our lasers! Including the 2800mW blue down to $299 from $359, and our 750 and 350mW orange-red lasers to $149 and $119 respectively.

@spondoolies
Are the chips already in hand?
We're getting the ASICs on Tuesday Do you have an estimate on when the august batch will ship? Early august, late august? They'll ship in August. And probably over a reasonable period in order order. With all due respect, I didn't ask you. If spondoolies doesn't want to tell us their estimates, then I'd rather hear that from them, your post contains no information. Also they have talked about shipping the WA hosted orders using container mail to cut down on costs, which would imply all or most of them shipping at the same time. |

Some high-end models (the ones using the larger type host) are out of stock at the moment. Will be restocked in around 2-3 weeks hopefully.
Along with the restock, we will launch two new models! Specs are still in the works but they are very exciting. One will feature a different shade of blue (460-470nm), with relatively good beam characteristics and a brightness beating every other laser we sell! The other is a stronger version of our current single mode orange-red laser. Stay tuned.

Well shit... In the bitmain threads they are saying the S3 isn't quite put together yet. That means the current hashrate increase wasn't from them and that there will be a bump once they start shipping them out.
I kinda hope they are lying to us and have been testing the S3's. So who is responsible for all that hashrate that was added recently?
KNC neptunes and asicminer gen3 probably played a role. Also, according to my snooping at antminer's address https://blockchain.info/address/1QB8Ds5KbGYBLQa5RyDQ2sVUeSKWf7qgkZ it doesn't look like they have sold more than ~5000 S3s so far. This would only increase the difficulty a tiny 2% if everything got turned on at the same time. |

True, quality is built in ... but I keep wondering ... and have voiced this in various threads ... a 6 Th/s miner is fantastic ... not seen before ... and I can't wait to receive my orders.
The bar is set .. BUT what next?
Sponds ... what are you working on ? ...
A little teaser would be appreciated by all.
They've actually been quite clear on what is next.. They have two teams working, one on gen3 sha chips which will be a complete redesign with aggressive spec goals ($0.2 and 0.1 W per GHps), slated for release in Q4. Another team is working on a scrypt chip, also slated for Q4. |

I think by summer 2015 the difficulty will be about 150G

There has barely been any adjustments above 20% the last few months. This one (if it even is 25%, we won't know for another week) is clearly an anomaly and will be smoothed out with time.
Unlikely. Very unlikely. How so? I find it more unlikely that a clear downward trend in difficulty growth that has lasted since fall last year would suddenly do a 180. I have the numbers on my side, I haven't seen any opposing evidence. Difficulty History Date Difficulty Change Hash Rate Jun 18 2014 13,462,580,115 14.51% 96,368,902 GH/s Jun 05 2014 11,756,551,917 12.44% 84,156,677 GH/s May 24 2014 10,455,720,138 18.10% 74,844,960 GH/s May 12 2014 8,853,416,309 10.66% 63,375,223 GH/s Apr 29 2014 8,000,872,136 14.64% 57,272,474 GH/s Apr 17 2014 6,978,842,650 14.04% 49,956,502 GH/s Apr 05 2014 6,119,726,089 22.23% 43,806,706 GH/s Mar 24 2014 5,006,860,589 17.80% 35,840,504 GH/s Mar 13 2014 4,250,217,920 11.39% 30,424,245 GH/s Feb 28 2014 3,815,723,799 21.92% 27,314,015 GH/s Feb 17 2014 3,129,573,175 19.39% 22,402,357 GH/s Feb 05 2014 2,621,404,453 19.49% 18,764,744 GH/s Jan 24 2014 2,193,847,870 22.59% 15,704,175 GH/s Jan 13 2014 1,789,546,951 26.16% 12,810,076 GH/s Jan 02 2014 1,418,481,395 20.12% 10,153,885 GH/s That seems to prove my point, what side are you arguing for? |

like the tradeblock calculator uses, is NOT realistic There is not a chance in hell the difficulty will be anywhere near 135G come 2015.
Reserved. Was my post deleted?  |

What is your basis for claiming that that is a more "realistic" calculation? As said, my difficulty forecast is based on past performance. A static percentage increase that matches today but not the past nor the future, like the tradeblock calculator uses, is NOT realistic at all. There is not a chance in hell the difficulty will be anywhere near 135G come 2015. You gotta be kidding RoadStress. 19 BTC from an August SP30 ? Thats not an answer, thats a sales pitch.
Estimated Next Difficulty: 16,899,830,784 (+25.53%)

I was tired of most if not all online mining profit calculators using crappy future difficulty prediction models like static percentage increases, so I made my own. It uses an exponential function made from regression of past statistics to predict the difficulty. I think it will be much more accurate than most other calculators. What do you think? For now it is just a spreadsheet, link here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1P_rgP9XnBvuznWdRi7IUKizQHUR0DNxDrl08H90juzc/editCurrently it is set to calculate a SP30 unit delivered in August. If you want to use it you can make a copy of the spreadsheet and edit the values. |
