So I thought long and hard the past week or so and came to the conclusion that with my other company, "Derby Of San Francisco" I had done a good job bringing an awesome product at an affordable price and still made money to live and have some left over for R&D for new products. A month ago my senior designer told me about Bitcoins and I instantly "got it". You know how you explain Bitcoin to someone and they give you the ol', "Yeahhh, sounds great" or "Wow that's awesome". Well to me that means "Your F-in Crazy, Shut the hell up you kook". I heard that before with Derby when I first started it so it didn't bother me. In the back of my minds I knew it would work as one day Bitcoin will either sky rocket or crash and burn and we will all sit here talking about the old days and $0.22 a gallon gas like two old men on a Mississippi Stoop.
I bought about 800 BTC last month in the $30's and sold the last few days(Today Being March 27th). I bought 2 Avalon ASIC's as I do believe in them and was a little offended when I contacted Butterfly Labs and could not get a straight answer. (I will explain in the next day or so in a post) When I purchased the Avalon 85 Gh/s I knew it would work and I would not be sorry as everything I have touched with the BTC, I have won.
Any how, I Trademarked the name "Bitcoin Computer" as I would like to make an awesome Mining Rig that will work and make others happy. I would like to have a full website with videos on how to set it up, use it, and any info needed. Almost how Lytro did with their Light Spectrum Cameras. I would love to have a full interactive community and have a "Base" for the hardware and software. So here are the few questions I Have.
1. Chips - How do I get the ASIC Chips to run a successful piece of hardware? I mean which chips are needed? What are the specs for each chip to have built as Silicon Valley is not far away from me. I noticed Avalon will sell chips but have not been able to contact them about this but I understand they are busy.
2. Boards - Obviously the boards are a big deal as the chips must go into them to run the damn thing. What is needed? Are there existing boards and chips one can buy?
3. Power Supply - Well that's obviously an easy one
4. Driver - I would assume the thing needs some kind of software or programming to make it work.
5. Case - I would like to have an awesome one that looks beautiful in the house and people would love to show off "Their New Cool Device"
So I am looking to be in contact with anyone who would like to help me bring a mining rig to the market. I am forward thinking and very open minded. Please be serious as I have a company I run as well as a wife and 2 sons, 4 & 5.
Basically I do believe it can not be that hard to do. I am sure it will take money but how much really? If the machine works then it should be a no brainier.
PM me if you have any interest in moving forward. If it sounds correct I will shoot you my contact info!
Who knows, It just might work out!
Thanks, Victor Suarez - Bitcoin Computer
PS - Remember I do not build computers and have general knowledge of them.
I have only been in the Bitcoin Game for 1 month so if I say something wrong, EXCUSE ME!!!!!!
