We now have R19 Neptune set up by request from our co-op.
However, I can't believe the prices that people are actually *still* paying on ebay for these:
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_sacat=0&_from=R40&_nkw=knc+jupiter&LH_Complete=1&rt=ncWhat's the general consensus on this? Even w/ ebay's awful fees, we'd still all stand to gain by selling soon, if that's what our majority want. A sale at this price is likely to be well over what the unit will generate (unless BTC prices continue to skyrocket).
If so: let me know as I need to go get my PayPal acct. out of limited status (they're not happy when you do a CC chargeback on BFL Jallys outside PayPal's 45 day refund window). That or we'll sell it thru Thomas's or Philip's account, if he's game.
Starting a vote. Please vote and tell your friends and tell other R5-6 co-op members to vote if you'd like to influence this vote.
Also: please follow up with a PM or public vote, including your number of share votes. We'll hold voting thru Saturday evening. Hopefully everyone will have stopped by before then.
Please also feel free to discuss the pros vs. cons of this early sale.
Thanks!
How about selling one (with a starting price +$25k) and keeping the other, distributing hashrate and proceeds between both R5 & R6?
Let's take a minute here to define EXACTLY what we are talking about here otherwise a vote is meaningless.
When I first read this thread and voted the above quotes were what I based my vote on,
But with this as an option
as a price point ant miner is selling a non auction right here
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=348747.0 they ask 4.25 BTC for a 180 gh machine. this is a flat price. seems to me we could list our 1 for 11 BTC it would be a bargain compared to the 180 gh x 3 = 12.75 for 540 gh for unproved tech.
while we would be 11 BTC for 550gh proven tech.
I would probably change my vote. Starting at 20 or 25K but then considering 11btc (11K) is half of what I voted on.
In order to make this valid I believe we need to set a price that we sell at, anything less than that and we keep hashing.
Its hard to vote when the target is changing by 50% or more
