This is not a set sale or auction yet.

I am just trying to see what interest there might be in this.
Post a reply if this is something you would be interested in bidding/purchasing.  Minimum would be in the $1450 range (my cost).

Reason considering sale: I have invested funds in a number of board projects, including BitFury builds.  I may want to add to that investment at the expense of this one.

I expect the miner to be delivered in the next 2 weeks and am considering selling it. 
If I decide to sell it will not be posted until I have it in hand.   Not a Pre-order sale.

August Delivery of a BitFury 25GH Starter Kit including Custom Case by Spotswood and other accessories.

1 Master board

1 Raspberry Pi Model B with SD card and software preinstalled
2 x Ring terminal to Molex-Jr adapter cable

My point is :

Interest in this is "middle" talking in terms of profit.

If you find a fan of bitcoin mining for fun, this is rather a good offer considering the price of previous hardware (ex. : BE Blade for BTC49.99 @ the beginning).

well come back when you have the equipment in hand.

Can't tell you if I'm interested at this moment because nobody knows what the diff will be at the moment you actially have this hardware in hand.

Cheers

Is this a pre-order to a pre-order?

Quite true, but it sounds like something you would look at I guess.

Perhaps a pre-reservation to preorder before it's in hand.

For $1450 it's not such a bad deal, so I'd definitely be interested.

May also be interested since waiting for Oct kit is looking a bit dicey.

I did.  Just getting it up today. I was not going to start it up but it came with TWO boards.
So now I'm curious. They said if one was not hashing at the full 25 they would throw another in the box.

Congrats. Yeah, I've heard many people got extra boards too. You'll probably get more than 25 GH total out of it even if one board is not hashing at full speed. Kind of sucks that some boards have dead/bad chips but overall I'd say you came out on top. Let us know if you are still interested in selling the kit. Also let us know what the new total hashrate is Smiley
