CITM,

PCIe power connectors. It looks like there are 2 per board and each connector is 6 pins?

TIA

I am sending you 1.04 btc in about 10 minutes.

I will hold back on label.

this is your posted address

this is the  tx id

So I was the first to buy this from you.  

I will wait for label. Hoping you can clarify what label works  as 1 large flat rate seems too small.


Try to order some regional c flat rate boxes.  I think they will be good.

Once I get this I will post photos of assembly in this thread.

Right off the bat it looks like it wants 8 pcie connectors 2 per board  so I believe  

 this will want the evga 1300 psu.

I have some links to buy an evga 1300 psu.  once I confirm that psu works I will let everyone know.

I figure 850 x .9 = 765 watts then the psu eff so a 91 percent psu should be 840 watts. an 88 percent should be 870 watts

Here's a video that shows assembly, except the thermal paste in the video is replaced with a thermal pad in the kit for sale.  Looks pretty easy:

At 0.9 J/GH, a full miner would come out to 720-765 Watts, correct?

Using 800 GH/s and 720W over at https://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/calculator shows me that network growth would have to average only 10% in order to turn a profit. (This is assuming it takes 20 days from today to start hashing).

I'm on the fence.

I'd still kind of like one, just for the mystique of it as a piece of bitcoin history.

Anybody out there have free electricity want to host one for me and keep any profit it earns over cost?

no depends on the psu you use.   say your 800gh pulling 720 watts from the psu.  if your psu is  90%  it will pull 800 watts from the wall plug.  So my guess is an evga 1300 watt psu will read 800 at the kwatt  meter.

so some of the cheaper price is lost back on power.

if compared to a s-3   but for  much less price say 100 dollar less then 2 s-3's  you burn  back 50 cents a day in power or 15 usd a month extra for power.  so after 6 months the s-3 is better.

bottom line is   btc needs to go up in price  after you take delivery on this gear.

I do my roi in usd not btc  since I pay tax and do not want to face IRS issues.

I'm in for one! I can't wait to put this sucker together, it looks cool as heck, and the price is right.

I'll wait until box size is nailed down to send the label.

That actually looks super easy. The thermal pad I assume replaces the weird step with the machine I suspect.

Canary - any word on the box this will fit in for the shipping label?

Put me down for 4 of these.
