Welp, I was out, really out, no more rigs, no more futzing about, all done.
And then, my nephew got me. "Pleeeease teach me about BTC, pleeeeeeese?"
So, knowing how kids can be, I gave him a couple of my old sidehack compacs:
GekkoScience Compac BM1384 Stickminer Official Support Thread.
He has stayed interested, so I have gotten him a couple of sidehack 2Pac seconds to help out a good cause (see
sidehack's sig) and Laura's
page, that I'll give him next time I'm over there. He's been learning about volts, amps, burning his finger, power supplies, cutting down two-liter bottles to make an enclosure, all the fun stuff.
Hence this thread, does anyone have a dirt cheap, mint condition (heh), S7-LN or 135-chip S7 gathering dust that they would be interested in selling me?
I don't want to spend much, given that he may still lose interest, but I would like to be able to give him something "nicer" relatively soon. He's been good, and has been sending me snips of cgminer showing his compacs running every few days or so. Frankly, I was pretty sure he was going to burn them out playing with the speed and voltage, but he got them purring right along. Good for him, and it's fun to have a project we can share together.
I'd love to just get him an S9 hot off of the presses, but who knows, he's a kid, and kids move on. No reason to waste the money on something like that if he does. I figure, get him an S7, and help and teach him along the way, and maybe he'll get his own S9. Or, his parents will start charging him for electricity. HA!
If you're willing to part with one (POSSIBLY two, but they would have to be CHEAP), please just PM me, no reason to post here. EDIT: I should add, I am quite familiar with value, pricing, ROI, what they sold for last summer, market flux, etc. Please save the rube/noob offers for Amazon or eBay or whatever, save us both the time.
Usual drill, either via escrow here with someone we both trust, or PayPal or eBay.
Thanks so much!!
