If you have 48 units why is the minimum bid now 6.5 BTC?

Market price is recovering, having a hard time justifying a >100 day ROI with current difficulty and piles of ASICs on the way.

If I'm just missing something, then I bid 12 BTC for two units, USPS to Pennsylvania

lol.. I concur.. but again.. there is a buyer out there for everything.. he is selling them at about the right time.. difficulty isn't through the roof yet (did just go up and allchains is forecasting at least another 20% bump 11 days from now).. plus not too many ASICs in the wild yet...

My bid, and yes I am aware of it being below 6.5btc/board still stands... just in case anyone backs out/falls through...   thanks!

I already sold 24 boards in an immediate "Buy now" transaction, so the auction is only running for the remaining 24 boards. There are bids of at least 6.5 for all the boards except one. So, if you want to buy more than one board you have to outbid that one.

OK thanks, I'm out then.

I bid 5.25 BTC each for the 2 underperformers.

Current winning bids for 2 underperforming (below 800GH/s) boards:

Somehow I doubt that there are any FPGA boards that make 800GH/s

[thoughtcourier]

Wow, how do I "buy it now"?

I'll bid 5.4 for an underperformer

[Ltcfaucet]

How many boards do you have left?

Thanks.

[goxed]

I just bid on your 2 (up) board

[Ltcfaucet]

UPDATE 6:

37 boards already sold in pre-paid "Buy-it-now" transactions.

Current winning bids for 9 "good" boards:

shep80:      7 BTC * 4 boards
marto74:     7 BTC * 4 boards
MWNinja:    6.5 BTC * 1 board (outbid for 4 boards)

Current winning bids for 2 underperforming (below 800MH/s) boards:

goxed 5.5 BTC * 2 underperforming boards.

So, current lowest bid should be >6.5 for normal, >5.5 for underperforming boards. The auction ends today 18:00 PST.

Does goxed have 5.5 for each or both?

[Bogart]

I Bid 5.6 each on both underperformers.

I also bid 6.6 on one "normal" board.

[mantler]

Did these guys pay 7 btc for 4 boards or 7 btc per board?

[ThePanCakeKid95]

this might be stupid but any left?

[hennessyhemp]

If any of those deals fall through...I would like in.  I have bitcoin, I have desire now.

U have PM

You guys realize this Auction ended 3 weeks ago right??

Just FYI, seeing this mining rig kind of inspired me (a while back) to see what would happen if I took a more modern FPGA - 28 nm technology (Cyclone V) and used it as a platform for BT mining.  I wound up looking at the C5-A9 (which has 301K logic cells or is twice as big as the LX150's).  Since it is a newer technology, I figure I should be able to run it at 250-300 MHz clock rate - and by putting two of the FPGA's on a card, the resulting performance should be around 1000-1200 MHash/sec (and probably at a lower power consumption since it's 28 nm technology).

Anyways we have a web site located at :
http://www.raspberrycoins.com/

If we get enough interest, then we'll do a crowd-sourcing thing, and make some boards for sale.

The only issue is that ASIC miners are on the horizon - BFL has announced that they have shipped, and if you reconfirm your order, you'll get your product at some time.  Naturally ASIC miners would render FPGA's obsolete (for mining purposes).

interested -> depends when the miner is ready for sale.
