What hardware are you NOT interested in. The reason I ask is that I have good bit of hardware that I have recently pulled from service for lack of space and would be willing to send some your way if you are interested. For example, do you have access to cheap electricity or are you only interested in very efficient hardware? I have hardware, coolers, PSUs and would be happy to send some stuff your way as a gesture of appreciation.
Thanks. Always largely interested in newer hardware since there really isn't much need for further development of code on hardware that is being deprecated/made redundant due to power restrictions. I only have limited regular power and space at home like any other normal person, but I do have access to someone who care remotely host things for me in the usa, though remote access is almost never as good for development as having the hardware in hand.

Just to keep the discussion on topic, there's no doubt that efficiency is becoming the main player and the SP30 would be borderline for regular people's homes for anything more than a single unit, and it's looking less and less likely that hardware (from all manufacturers) will be suited to the home. It's astonishing how much the game has changed in the last year...

yeah I punted for hosting after figuring out the new 3000w at 15c kwh savings (not with cooling elec added in yet) was like $194 more at home in usd
at that point with potential noise...some cooling costs even if just a few fans...theft?/fire?/flood? I figured the heck with it and punted it to hosting.
i can even use that $194 usd to get the miner back for sentimental reasons and it will be break even 8 bucks one way or another ..i forget which... heh Smiley

so the potential compensation and such on hosting suddenly looked very attractive to me (free miner heat in the winter or not)...said forgive me for trying
to host at home and gave them my money.....asap....

actually kind of a relief only thing I will have in the house now besides the Oct knc 550gh Jupiter is the 'supposed' delivery of the knc Titan scrypt miner

but yeah after that and the churn of the last year (last august 60gh bfl miner was a big unit)...now that I went to hosting more relaxed I am..after the 'punt'

www.coinbase.com is so much more relaxing....buyng say $16 usd of BTC on a whim..like amazon or ebay....no pesky people who won't/can't or will ship equip
on time and of course not talking about spondoolies (we are all scared from other asic mnfg companies don't ya know)

home mining .....she may be on here last gasps and dead by the end of this year more or less...at least for the big 7-10k stuff

thanks to everyone who ran me thru electrical issues ..cooling options (learned all about cfm) and all that stuff....well learned lot if I ever want to put
a welding shop in my basement....it would work...for mining...er not so much maybe...good to know I can run 3 dryers down there at the same
time should the need arise? (well come to think of it I could put a backup hanging heater 220v for the heck of it ..to use bsmt in winter
when miners go away...) as to the other 220 outlets..well again I could do 'artsy' welding projects now!!!! (FML)

baby miner units at best from now on for fun..big stuff  er NO.......it is like having a pony in the back yard ..eventually it is  horse and has to go

all things must end.....(no more whirly noises...keen lcd lights......the joy of finding the right hole ..(hey I ment for the paper clip you sicko! on the
power supply startup!)

folks in the 1890's musta felt this way when they shut down their steam powered metal lathe and such..in the metal shop....it has gotten that old fashioned to mine
at least big...at home in only 1 year wow!
