I have two Red Fury miners for sale. Not modded.
I can mail via tracked special delivery to UK. If you're outside the UK, you will need to pay for postage.
Would prefer to sell for UKBT or BTC.
Please PM me your best offer. I would prefer to sell both simultaneously, but if the price is right, I don't mind splitting them up.

Anti Money Laundering (AML) regulations are here to stay. These have become a usual and normal way of conducting financial affairs, thanks to a whole plethora of international multilateral and bilateral treaties and conventions.
Ostensibly designed to stop proceeds of terrorism or drug crimes from being laundered, AML rules are now being increasingly used to police commercial transactions in order to detect tax evasion.
For any organisation which is in the regulated financial markets - in other words any entity that deals with money on behalf of its customers or clients - the licensing and regulatory requirements are mandatory. In their simplest form, the entity is required to fulfil Know-Your-Customer (KYC) norms. The entity must itself conduct these checks, which generally take the form of obtaining authenticated copies of the clients' identity documents. There are lists of documents which are acceptable - generally passports, driving licenses, utility bills etc.
The purpose of this is to tie the money / account to a physical person and an address where the person can be located.
The next AML requirement is generally that whenever a regulated financial entity (or a banker, money changer etc.) sees a transaction which he suspects might be fraudulent or an attempt to launder funds, he is required to report the transaction to the financial regulator immediately. A lot of organisations file Suspicious Activity Reports automatically for almost every transaction.
Depending upon the local laws / regime, the organisation or entity might be able to use / deal with that money n number of days after having filed the SAR; alternatively have to wait for specific clearance. In the first case, the organisation having alerted the regulator is deemed to have obtained approval if it does not hear anything adverse from the regulator within the stipulated time.
Why do organisations like MtGox etc. behave in a paranoid manner? Simple. The company and each of its employees risks personal criminal prosecution if they violate AML rules.
Given the relatively anonymous and risky (from the law enforcer's point of view) nature of bitcoins, organisations like Mt.Gox are understandably paranoid and eager to "over-comply" with AML regimes.
Of course, there are companies which have relatively lax AML procedures. These companies either operate in countries / jurisdictions which have relatively lighter AML restrictions and few international obligations; or are simply benefiting from a lazy regulator.
I am happy to answer any questions or concerns.

For the past 6 months, I've found 3 blocks @ Eclipsemc.com with my 9~GH/s.
Meh, would probably have found 0 if I had solo mined, can't predict the future and can't affect luck

Re: Would you mine in a pool that gave you most of a block that you'd mined?
The payouts would only be fair if everyone had a very similar hashrate
How do you figure? It would be fair to every single miner. It could even use pure PPS. You pick a percentage, X. If you mine a block, you get X% of the block reward less the pool fee. For each share, you get (100-X)% of the PPS rate less the pool fee.Quote
and variance would be huge. Miners don't like variance.
Variance would be precisely as high or as low as you want it to be. Set X to 0 and you get perfect PPS with no variance at all. Set X to 100% and you get the same variance as solo mining. You get to choose exactly how much variance you want.Precisely.
This hybrid model would probably appeal to the solo miner who currently gets nil income and is holding out for the 1 in 622 million (!) chance. He gets a trickle of income which is a share of the residual (say 33%) 25BTC+ reward after the lottery-winning miner has been paid.
The higher hashrate miner knows that the chances that he gets to solve the block are much higher, so his loss of the steady trickly income is offset by his higher probability of getting 2/3 of the reward.
Would you mine in a pool that gave you most of a block that you'd mined?
I have been trying to look for a BTC pool that would
- Allow you to mine
- Anonymously and without registration
- Reward you for a block that you'd mined up to x% (say 66% - 75%)
- Paid out the remainder of the mined block to the other miners on one of the usual share bases.
- Had very low fees - anywhere from 0% to 0.5%
I have not found a pool that fulfils these criterion.
So I was thinking that this might be an interesting opportunity.
Would you mine in a pool that offered these features?
Are there any other features / options etc. which would persuade you to shift from your current pool, or from solo-mining?
Just trying to gauge interest here. If I can drum up a threshold level of interest (say 1TH/s or so), I'd invest the resources needed to set this up.

In either case (solo vs pool), the luck factor would be the same, amirite?
Is this statement accurate "I am just as likely to find a block solo mining, as I am in a pool." ?
I understand that the pool rewards everyonetrying contributing by sharing out the reward block. And that you could probably go for years solo mining and not see any return. But its equally possible, though improbable, that you could find / solve a block in your first five minutes.

No it's not that rare.
Don't kick yourself - you wouldn't have gotten that block if you were solo mining since the work your miner would be doing would be different than that issued to the pool. You can think about all the what-ifs all you want, but then life would suck...

Can you explain what that means? Genuinely curious.
Download Zadig.
Plug in the miner.
Run Zadig as administrator.
The miner should show up. If it doesn't, from the menu select the show all devices.
Pick the miner, select the USB driver.
Click on install (or reinstall)
Send me half the coins you mine.
(The last step is optional).

Its generally a good idea to post the solution you discovered here on the forum
The chances are that someone who has a similar problem is going to come to this thread via google. So be a good neighbour and let future generations benefit from your trials and tribulations.
