For how long will you keep the miner running?

[thundertoe]

will run until no longer + returns or close to that time may take an opportunity to sell off the hardware. If hardware is sold off profits will be split among shareholders.

I just checked the numbers and it looks like we can run in the +  for 26 weeks using very very pessimistic numbers.

Here is a decent calc to give and idea of how long ito an roi and time before it runs negative.

I'm in for one share.

When I tried clicking on payment link, coinbase said pay to "New User". Is this your name?

Edit: just trying to figure out how coinbase payments work. If I figure out, will get 1 share. 

[stex2009]

When will you get this machine? Are these in stock?
How do we trust you!
 $120 is a good price for 10ghs

[davewr2013]

$120 is a good price for 10Ghash...
Really?

Looks to me like expectations should be to return about 21.4BTC in the "positive" lifetime...

21.4 /55 = .3890 BTC per share...

Assuming BTC is still $350 ~ $136 per share...
If BTC hits $490 -- your share return would be about $191 -- about $71 profit.

You need to make the best estimate you can and set expectations accordingly.

Edit: Like all BTC "investments" it's speculation against the exchange rate.

Been busy with banking issues this morning.

New user is you.

KNC states this unit will ship "mid november" they have a good track record of shipping on time.


Trust is always tricky on the net. All i can offer my history on these forums since 2011. For character i could say im not hiding my identity or any personal details. I have a clean personal track record i have been fbi background checked and fingerprinted many times during working as a Nurse. Im not a legal expert but i would think that this deal puts me under a implied legal contract and could be held liable for damages in court if i pulled something shady.

120$ is a good price i wish i cold buy the whole thing outright myself... im not sure i can take the wife aggro though.  Right now im hoping for a wed trigger pull on the buy. If funds are short on wed im liable to gather them myself out of pocket to complete the buy.

Agree, it's speculation. What I meant was, If you see other group buys, this is a decent price for the hash rate and mid November delivery.

[thundertoe]

I have been using other peoples group buys, however they are getting overpriced and drying up.

At the same time im sitting in a ice cold garage and house with high humidity.  if we use gas heat then we have to run dehumidifiers anyways and this is year round. Dry elec heat form these units is not an issue and will be useful most of the time for me.  Yearly avg temp 54f  .. im in a coastal fog bowl at about 5 feet above sea level. I have a ranch with horses so there is somebody here 99% of the time and i already run mining rigs 24/7. I have 220v power ready to use for another 5kw continuous now. Hosting fits well with my situation i think. If i was rich i would  be buying these outright for myself.

What do I do now? How do I find transaction ID from coinbase that I can sign?

I am wondering how many people actually tried doing this and found it impossible to get "warm and fuzzy" with this group buy. Please provide a bit more instructions on how to actually GIVE YOU money and it may speed up

In your bitcoin client, double click the transaction.  It'll have a transaction ID on it at the bottom.  Then go to blockexplorer and paste it in there to see the addresses it came from.  You probably want to sign with the address that the bulk of the payment came from.

I followed the link and approved purchase through Coinbase. I know how to pay directly with my Bitcoin wallet and find transactions. These were not the instructions in OP, however. How do I prove to OP that I actually paid, is the question.

All I have is Coinbase's Merchant Order.

[BorisAlt]

Got a PM from thunder toe confirming the order. Trying to figure out how to complete.

I'm slightly confused.  I just used Coinbase as well for a share here.  I used my local wallet to send to the address specified by coinbase.  I then used that transaction ID as proof I paid for it, and it worked for the op.  Not sure what you and I did differently?

I did not touch my Bitcoin wallet for this transaction. I had some bitcoins in my Coinbase account and once I clicked "Submit" after following the link above, I got "Successful Pyament" green box on my phone. Never touched Bitcoin wallet that I keep on a computer at home. When I got to Coinbase transaction page, I see "Merchant Order" but it does not give me any useful info, like Tx ID.

that will work fine. just send me a wallet address for the mining payouts.

Sig transactions are just nice for record keeping. coinbase sends transaction record copy to my email for record keeping.

I will pm buyers a copy of the email receipt to verify payment.

Roger that. Will PM you back with my Bitcoin address. I will buy another share since Bitcoin is tanking to USD at the moment and I think it will be good $120 worth spending
