Bought three invites from Magnavox, very fast transaction.  Buy with confidence!

Do you still have NZBS.in or Lulunzb.com?

Yeah that is true, I'm just looking for a fair sale on the lower side of supply/demand.  I don't want to gouge anyone or anything like that.  Another big motivation is my wife wants this thing gone!


Serious offers accepted.

Price lowered to $3500.  I'll include the APW3++ for $100.  I'll ship free at cheapest rate available.  Buyer pays for priority or express shipping extra charges if wanted.

At this time I don't want to go lower than $4500 based on what they are selling for online.  That is already a discount from eBay prices.

I gave it a shot and its just too loud for my house - can't have the kids being woken up because of the machine.  I have selling history on Reddit and eBay - looking for a trusted method of sale for both parties.  I see these being sold for around $5500-$7000 on eBay.  I'll offer this one which was used for only 18 hours for $5000.  No problems with the miner, runs at advertised speeds.

Edit - Lowering the price to $3500. 

What country are you in? I just got an email from James to confirm my shipping information. I'm hoping I will get the Miner soon!

Is that an APW3 you are using to power it?

This is going to be a silly question but I have to ask anyway.

For soundproofing (or at least trying to reduce the sound at all!) I plan on building a wooden box with a shelf in the middle.  I'd put the S9 on the middle shelf with exhaust facing towards the back and have a cutout for the fan to fit into so the heat exhaust goes into a compartment that gets sucked out with a fan into some ducting to dispose of.  On the bottom half of the box I'd put the power supplies.  For air intake I'd put a house filter over a hole that I'd use as air intake.  I'd then place that entire box inside another box that would be completely surrounded by insulation so I can muffle the noise.

If that makes sense here is my question.  Would I have a problem just stetting the miner/power supply on the wood itself or should I get some sort of spacer to set them on between the item and the wood. 

Any suggestions or tips before I head to home depot and get the supplies to make this?

So one algorithm at a time.  To understand power usage - I'm looking at the Giant B and the highest power usage is Blake256R14 @ 410W.  So since it would only mine that one algorithm at a time I'd only need just over 410 watts - so a 800W PSU would suffice as Gongolo said?  I was thinking of getting one of the HP server power supplies with a breakout board.

For those who have a Giant B - or probably those with a Giant X10 since I'm guessing they must be similar - What power supply are you using? 1200v enough?  Would I be able to mine on all algos at the same time or is there a limit with what can be mined at any given time?

I don't have an answer for you, but what power supply are you using?

Can't wait, if all goes well and i receive the unit correctly you will definitely have a repeat customer!  

Thanks for all you have done so far!

Thanks for the update! Very exciting news!

Can someone point me to the Telegram Bot?

Does anyone know which power supply would be optimal? I have a spare Bitmain APW3 that I plan to use. What about the voltage?  110v or 220v?

Good luck with yours man, I'm also waiting for my limits to be raised!

Most of the calculators show that if I ran 10 S9's (or the equivalent) I'd be able to make a significant amount of money.

This one shows I'd be in the red:

All of the calculations have been using my current electric rate of $0.08/kWh and based off of an Antminer S9 (14TH and 1325W power consumption).

In case you care, here is my plan. After setting up this "farm" and running it for a few months I'd want to save enough money to replenish the machines as needed or to buy upgraded versions (like the rumored S11 or maybe the dragon) and keep this farm going long-term.

Another question - does anyone have access to a good and historically reliable difficulty estimator that I can try to estimate long term gains/losses (I know it would be hard based on the volatility of BTC and difficulty changes but I'd be silly if I didn't try).

Final Question- Does anyone have access to historical data representing daily or monthly returns to date using S9's or other hardware? I can't seem to find a chart online anywhere and it may be useful to determine the rate that which profits decline over time.

Final Final Question - I'm exploring the idea of starting a company/LLC for tax purposes and maybe a lower electricity rate.  Is this a good/bad idea for this small kind of setup?  Would the potential tax advantages be worth it?  I would be running this out of my home in the western United States.

I know this is long so thanks for bearing with me.

When do you expect updates for the batch one buyers?  Are we expected to get the units in January after they get shipped to you and you ship to us?  Or do you estimate it would be pushed into February?  Has Baikal given you a timeline?

Thanks!

Does anyone know if Baikal sold a batch prior to the first batch being sold here? I'm wondering about difficulty changes in the time from ordering one and receiving it.  Thanks
