Sorry to tell you this but Tommy exit scammed everyone basically, claiming he was losing money and that it wasn't profitable. 

Bet it's profitable for Tommy now with all of those un-refunded Bitcoins worth over 5 grand each ... Angry

And they performed flawlessly - my only comment (criticism) would be with the ATX looms - drawing 5v at 40 Amps they get pretty hot & some of the wires 'fused' - a higher gauge wire in the loom would solve this easily (& would be worth the higher cost)

Re: Do you think you were scammed by GAW? Tell Ars Technica

Scammed?  Huh

I have coins in an offline wallet that are steadily paying interest whilst also increasing in value.
I have coins online that, whilst not at the much maligned $20 floor, can be escrowed for a guaranteed $20 on February 1st

If I were to sell all of my coins NOW I would have ROI - even at current prices.

Try measuring BTC to those standards and you will find that currency sadly lacking - I've lost thousands in offline mining & online scams.

What is it about a coin designed to introduce everyday people to cryptocurrency that so incenses the bitcoin community?

My journey with GAW has had some pitfalls, but has been far more profitable than some of the gouging I suffered at the hands of some of the biggest BTC cloudminers ... try looking there for a story! CEX & their ever-increasing fees have destroyed many first-time miners...

I'm disappointed that Paycoin has not been an instant success - but with the vitriol poured upon it by reddit, so-called journalists & the btc-centric community - I'm happy to stick with innovation and gradually reap the rewards.

A satisfied GAW customer since the beginnings.

Hashie.co reports "Hashie's operations are temporarily suspended." & plays a delightful rendition of the main song 'Let it Go' from 'Frozen'
- Not sure if that is supposed to be amusing  Huh

No further explanation but no payouts since December 27

Must be the season for it?

how much for Antminer S1 ?

Just to avoid answering the same questions ...

My first preference is to sell the entire lot so that I'm not left with odd pieces 'gathering dust'

They are currently listed on ebay for AU$499 (about US$410) http://www.ebay.com/itm/321616135231 - obviously I'm hoping they go higher ... especially since they are generating a good XPY return at the moment, but will accept the final bid there if nothing better eventuates

Free shipping??

Unfortunately no ... but it may be more economic to not take the PSU's  - just the cables & that would cut down a lot of the weight.

Apologies for the mess but am in the process of wiring in Fan Controllers & extra fans to cope with the Aussie Summer

You should be able to make out the 7 x Eyeboot USB Hubs each containing 49 U2's making 343 active ... the rest are currently spares!

2 of the S1's are on the second shelf - the third is just out of shot
The Falcon is on the bottom shelf

How much for the U2+?

I'm really hoping to sell the complete set-up
... if that doesn't work out then I guess I'll have to look at breaking it into lots

400x U2 ?  Shocked

ID love to see some pictures of that (not because I dont believe you, I just wanna see it).

I'll try & get some pics tomorrow when the light is better ...
I only have that many because the MOQ was 500 & then the market in Australia got flooded with cheap imports
- so I thought, rather than lose money I would put them to work!

You will need to provide pictures of your actual equipment with username and date on a piece of paper, generic photo's don't mean you actually have anything listed.
Also you forgot to mention if you will use an escrow service.

Thanks for the advice ... I wasn't sure if anyone would be interested but I'm happy to provide proof with a note containing specific text if requested & more than happy to use escrow (although I'm not sure who here provides it)

Thanks

[SOLD] Over 1.1 TH/s of Mining Hardware - has to go

Home Miner's "Treasure Trove" ...
Over 1.1 TH/s of miners to play with!!!

If you would like to get started in coin mining & prefer to get in & get your 'hands dirty' rather than mining in the cloud ... This is the package for you
Well over 1 TH/s of SHA-256 Mining & 32 MH/s of Scrypt plus a Radeon HD 5970 so you can experiment with some of the new GPU algorythms


http://www.sticky-web.net/bct/spacer.png
The Scrypt Miner is a
GawMiners Falcon
(Same as a Zeusminer Thunder) 27MH/s + (Doesn't seem to drop below 32)

  • Super easy configuration
  • Amazing cooling and long quietness
  • Hash Rate: 27MH+
  • Case Material: Aluminum
  • Chip: 55nm GAW Miners dedicated ASIC Scrypt (QFN Design)
  • Power Consumption: 900W

Controller is a Raspberry Pi running CGminer
PSU is a EVGA SuperNOVA 1300 G2 which usually powers one of the Eyeboot USB hubs as well

http://www.sticky-web.net/bct/Falcon.png
http://www.sticky-web.net/bct/EVGA.png
There are
3 x Antminer S1
clocked at 393 & happily mining 24/7 at 200 GH/s +/- 5%

  • Hash rate: 180 GH/s (Overclock to 200+)
  • Power consumption: about 360 W from the wall
  • Power supply: 3 +12V DC input
  • Power efficiency:  2 W/GH/s on wall
  • Size:  135 mm x 155 mm x 300 mm
  • Network connection: Ethernet Cable / WIFI
  • Cooling: 12cm PWM fans and customized heat sink

These mine stand-alone - can be configured via web-interface or SSH & never stop!

Each has an additional fan attached at the rear, one has been modified to have the Heatsinks on the outside & has 4 additional fans to draw heat away efficiently & there are enough chip heatsinks to cover all three (not all attached)

PSU are an IKONIK Gaia 500 IP-G500A-CBAA 500W, another Generic 500W Supply & I've been experimenting with 2 x 12V Regulated Switching Power Supplies to run the third with good results. (Probably more efficient to run the others this way)
http://www.sticky-web.net/bct/spacer.png

http://www.sticky-web.net/bct/S_1.png
There are approximately
400 x Bitmain U2+ USB Miner's
that will happily produce 2.2 - 2.4 GH/s each

  • Default hash rate: 2.0 GH/s, over clock by command
  • Power consumption: 2.95 W on USB 5V @ 2 G
  • Power supply: 5 V DC input
  • Size: 60 mm x 25 mm x 15 mm

7 x Eyeboot 49 Port USB hubs
+ 1 49 Port Block Erupter (needs fuse holder replaced)

Controlled by 4 x Banana Pi's running bfgminer that can handle 2 of the Eyeboots each

Power is currently a mix of S150 5V 40A Switching Power Supplies & standard ATX supplies

Included are at least another 5 of the S150 that need fuses replaced or similar repair and extra ATX - Open End looms.
And I'll throw in 4 of the original Antminer U1 & a Block Erupter (if I can find them!)
http://www.sticky-web.net/bct/spacer.png

http://www.sticky-web.net/bct/U2a.png
http://www.sticky-web.net/bct/Eyeboot49.png
The
Radeon HD 5970 Black Edition
isn't the latest GPU but it still has sufficient punch to try mining X11/X13/NeoScrypt or other new algorithms with scripts such Sgminer v5

  • PCI Express 2.0 x16
  • ATI Radeon HD 5970
  • Core Clock 725 MHz
  • Boost Clock 1000 MHz
  • Interfaces 2 x DVI-I (dual link)
  • Mini DisplayPort
  • API Supported DirectCompute 5.0, DirectX 11, OpenCL, OpenGL 3.2
  • Memory Size 2 GB GDDR5 SDRAM
http://www.sticky-web.net/bct/spacer.png

http://www.sticky-web.net/bct/HD5970.png

So why the sale?

To be honest, I don't have the time to chase the highest returning pool nor the ability to 'nuture' the miners to keep them all running at their best - all of the controllers could benefit from an upgrade in mining software version & I'm sure that the U2's could be run more efficiently via a larger PSU powering multiple hubs.

With more efficient cooling (I have the heatsinks & fans but haven't had a chance to fit them) the S1's & U2's could definitely be overclocked - there are even threads on bitcointalk.org that discuss replacing components to make the miners more efficient - this kind of fiddly circuit work is beyond me.

There's even been an upgrade kit released for the S1 that boosts performance & efficiency to 453 GH/s while consuming only 355 Watt - again, it's a task that I don't have the time or skills to pursue!


Included are all cables (ethernet, power & usb)
NOT Included are Network Switch & Power boards




Shipping

As you can imagine - all of this swag combined is heavy ...
I'd imagine around 30kg plus heavy.
So Australia Post is probably not going to be an option!

I have plenty of packing materials so they could be shipped as multiple boxes with a Courier (of your choice)
OR
Pick-up from Wendouree VIC 3355.
I can everything packed ready to go - or you can see it operating before dismantling.



Warranty

Used electrical equipment has no warranty (although I will Test & Tag the power supplies if you wish)

There are approx. 50 unopened (therefore NEW) U2+ so you may be able to chase DOA replacement via Bitmain

Overclocking voids Bitmain's warranty & almost everyone wants to attempt overclocking so you may be battling to receive a replacement if you cook your chip whilst attempting to push the limits.

This Screen Grab shows 3 x S1, 5 x Eyeboot & Zeus operating - Other Eyeboots are operational but I'm replacing PSU

OFFERS WELCOMED!

Bitmain's NEW U2 USB SHA-256 Miner 2.0 Gh/s Hash Rate - Simple to Overclock

We have taken delivery of Bitmain's new U2+ Antminer.

I've had 25 running at clock rate of x0981 = 2.0Gh/s and regularly getting rates of up to 2.4 (2.2 stable) WITHOUT overclocking
bfgminer -S antminer:all --set-device antminer:freq=x0981 --icarus-options 115200:2:2 works well for me.

Currently they are selling at AU$45.00 (inc. GST) & we can negotiate on price for bulk orders.

I plan on keeping 50 for myself & friends so currently 450 available.



Payment by any reputable method accepted (Bitcoin, other Crypto-Currency, Bank Deposit or, as a last resort, Paypal)
- will agree to escrow for large orders.

Please PM if interested including number required & offer.

Whilst I'm new to this forum you can check our reliability via eBay status

EXCELLENT Provider.
Responsive, Great Communication & Hashrates in excess of that advertised
Generously compensated for an outage that was pool related - nothing to do with his excellent rigs

Would definitely hire any of Tigggger's rigs again & recommend to all.
