Hello,

Wondering if there anyone interested in going half on a mini single from BFL.

I will pay the electricity. Currently very low anyways here in the Montreal area.

I only wish to put order in when a confirmed working BFL ASIC is outed.

I have never mined before but I am not worried about that I learn very quickly when it comes to tech.

I am very eager to get into the bitcoin mining.

Let me know.

I'd be interested in going in half with you on a single (or a mini single if that is all we can afford between us)... but i offer the following other proposal...

I host the single as I am running on free electricity and we will get faster ROI?

I already have a preorder for a Single (not the mini single) paid for start in Sept and would like to get more preorders in but am lacking the funds until the 1st March and a joint effort between us could get us both more hashrate for our bucks.

So we could only put in a pre-order once BFl are shipping.

I have been mining for about a year now and on a 7970 which I bought for only one purpose to mine so I am familiar with and have tried a lot of different mining software and pools etc.

I have been throwing my hashrate round some of the altcoins to as I see potential for those as well, but again this has given me a lot of good experience, and you will see I am an active member on here with a number of trades etc so you can trust me I am not going to run off with your money / investment.

If this interests you at all then please lte me know and we can work out further details from there.

Feel free to ask any questions u like, on here or in PM

The max funds I will have on march 1st will be $400 CAD.Which is only about half a mini Single if you include shipping.You do seem like trustworthy person do to business with. Since my interest first was learning to mine myself and second profit how about coming up with a percentage of your whole bitcoin mining operation.Tell me what percentage $400 CAD is worth.That way I might see a more early return.

Who would host it?

Would it not be easier to get a loan?

I am relatively new to the community. Though I did receive a small loan of 2 BTC in October last year. My attempt for just a 3 BTC loan last month was without success. I doubt I could get 12-15 BTC loan for half of a mini single.

I was hoping to host it I pay very little for electricity and I want to learn how to mine. I always like doing  "geeky" things like building hackingtosh pcs or or putting homebrew stuff on the wii to jailbreaking playstation and phones. I like to think of myself as technology anarchist and this Bitcoin mining fits my style.

This is an interesting idea. I'd be interested as well, maybe with another party?, considering I am also running on free electricity (I pay rent, but electricity, water, and gas are all included).

Nonetheless, it should earn about 4 BTC a day ([120BTC/$3000]/mo) at the current difficulty I believe. Of course, that would be split to 60BTC to both parties.

This is an interesting idea. Considering everything is transparent (BTC mined, Electricity costs, etc), this is a good investing opportunity. I bet if you moved it over to the "Lending" thread you'd get the financing you need.
