Post removed on request of gawminers for their customers.

I had done this for a strict reason.

I did not remove my email, that was included in this list to prove what happened.

I was keeping the company transparent & liable.

I just got off the phone with Jeff or Josh not sure, he will be contacting me again for a roundup of whats going on. He should be working on a ton of things atm, and will be releasing a press release soon.
You are trying to keep someone else's company transparent? Think what you're saying here.

honest and open

I have 100% uptime on a small I3 ubuntu server with 85 seeds on it.... Then I have an Rpi (model A) running Raspbian with 10 seeds; Rpi randomly reboots on me about every 3-6 hours, sometimes more frequently.

Other than the reboots, seed performance is consistent between both workers. ~360kh/s a piece, W/U = ~9.8

Still nothing on this?  I am curious whether it's even a good idea to use precious metal; that's like printing money on money. It becomes confusing at that point to track the value of the medium on top of the crypto value.

Why not use regular metal coins similar to the ones seen on this site: http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/Physical-Litecoin-LTC-Collectable-Real-Digital-Coins-Like-Bitcoin-s-little-brother-Round1-Troy-999-Silver/1020505_1620607103.html

We've been using coins like that in the Air Force forever as just simple tokens to be collected. Many of them are of very high quality.

The coins themselves need not be of valuable material in order to serve this purpose. That gives the illusion that the coins are dual purpose and the really shouldn't be. If you want to own silver bullion, buy silver bullion and keep it 'til the apocalypse or hand it down to the next generation.

The only reason I haven't designed my own coin and sent it to be made by a company like makecoins.com is because I wouldn't want them having possession of the secret key. I am looking for other methods. Any guidance?

Re: GAW Miners- Gridseed Blades

I just wanted to say these guys are great.  I had a problem with my order (actually, I complained about it in this thread....) and they actually called me that same day (saturday) and fixed the problem.  Not only did they get the blades to me first thing this morning, they actually gave me a credit for my lost time.  It's so refreshing to deal with an honest company for a change!  I definitely recommend them over anyone else.

I'll second that.... had a rather large order arrive in next to no time at all (4 days from CHINA!!!). I did encounter one technical difficulty in my set up, but GAW tech support was all over it until it was resolved. No complaints on my end at all.

Another awesome point, I placed my order late at night and got a phone call the next morning telling me the price had dropped on the Gridseeds that morning and my order would be updated to reflect the lower price... I opted to just add more Gridseeds to keep the price the same, win!

I took a risk with a company as new as GAW, and I am sure glad that I did. You guys can count on repeat business from me.
