I just cleaned with cotton swabs as well, but that is as far as I have gotten with setting it up.

I need to locate jumper wire and then figure out how to actually run it!

You want to watch a youtube video?  lol.  It's fairly easy with the jumper wire.  I think you can even use a paper clip, but I'm not using one, so I don't know for sure.

If you're bored and have plenty of time; first post above has a youtube video unboxing and setup.  Just skip around to the section you need.

I went and found your posts before I saw this, very helpful stuff. Just watched the other video; will have to check that dropbox situation out!

Sadly that is not the situation at hand at all.

If they are in stock should they not be able to be picked up? How is that cutting in front of people?

Is that not the point of local; why would I pay and wait a week if I could literally pick it up. I will remove myself from this thread and purchase elsewhere.

I have offered to pick one up locally several times via email and it seems like that is frowned upon; unless I want to pick it up in a week.

Last week the price was 3 btc but they were taking offers and only had a few left so cash was a premium; even though I offered to pay in btc. And I still couldn't pick it up same day. Everyone will be glad to know that even if you pick it up locally its the same price, shipping or not.

Simply amazing.

Guess I will just have to get one from Sushi.

As an Arizona Realtor, I love seeing this.

There are a ton of great investment opportunities, duplexes and triplexes are my favorite investments currently. Multi units generally have a good return.

First off, you should start making two mortgage payments a month. Even if its the same amount you pay now; just make note on the payment the first one is for interest and the second one is to be applied to principal balance.

The amount you save will astound you. Standard 30 year mortgages are ridiculously unbalanced.

Sadly I only have experience in physical metals; buying gold on paper just seems weird to me.

But I like the idea, dont know what all I could contribute though  Sad

Any real estate in AZ and Im your man though!

Ive been doing a ton of speculating; like everyone else Smiley using sites like http://dustcoin.com/mining and http://www.coinwarz.com/cryptocurrency

I imagine PPC, terracoin and whatnot should be viable with the SHA ASICs.

Have certainly considered setting up my own 1.5~mhash scrypt rig; why not both?

I recommend precious metals; imo its a great hedge.

Coins that are minted by your country that have a set face value as well as being worth x in their metal value is a good way to go. Securing at minimum face value.

Another noob considering dipping my foot in there; finally got some btc so i've been drooling over ANTminers.. cubes.. oh the humanity!

Considering they will be able to at least be able to still mine the SHA coins for use with trading. That helps with my noob anxiety.
