https://www.bitmit.net/en/item/19659-x6500-bitcoin-miners-working-100-400mh-s-for-less-than-20wSo this is the last guy on bitmit selling an x6500 and willing to ship to Canada. He has no feedback but does escrow, so there shouldn't be a problem, right? Thoughts?
Does anyone have any alternative ideas?
I am interested in purchasing a spartan 6 based FPGA as inexpensively as possible. I don't expect to make money back.
I started mining after the summer of 2011 with GPUs and never got into FPGAs. I did dabble with CPUs though. I'm just interested in getting an FPGA and running it because I don't want to have missed some experience with a generation of Bitcoin hardware, now that I am a more dedicated miner. I enjoy the whole hardware mining process.
So if anyone has any feedback and thinks this guy is worth a shot or if anyone on the forums is willing to sell me an FPGA like icarus or an x6500, please let me know. I'm not looking to spend huge so I am hoping for a board with only one or two chips. Hopefully for less than 4BTC but that might be optimistic.
