Topic: [ CLOSED ] VX-1 Miner Group Buy - Free 1 TH/s Miner Giveaway - page 9. (Read 12015 times)
So far all I see is a 4u server case that anyone can buy. Its even setting in the what looks like the corner of a bedroom, laundry basket and all.
How about showing the case open, so we can see the actual miner card(s).
For a start of a business, it sure looks poor.

So a little online research and we find that the above PO Box and phone number have been used in many scams in the past:

I'm so glad that Nwools decided to offer native support for their VX-1 miner with his Multi Miner software. THANKS NWOOLS if you ever read this 
My pleasure - though the team at VX Miners did the heavy lifting for VX-1 support
observer put me down for one.
Got you on the list mate. Was just reading their blog and saw they managed to get 1.2 TH/s on overclock with an upgraded PSU. 3 GH/s is impressive for a Bitfury Chip. I'm so glad that Nwools decided to offer native support for their VX-1 miner with his Multi Miner software. THANKS NWOOLS if you ever read this

Snagged a few photos from the guy's at VX Miners and put them up for those of you on the list already.
Free shipping worldwide or US only?
Sorry for the delay S4VV4S, i wanted to e-mail them and make sure before i answered your question. It WILL be free world wide shipping for the group buy
What will the sound level of this device be?
Suitable for home usage (like an Antminer S1) or will it be a jetfighter engine like those Avalon2 200Ghs machines?

Jeffrey, the reply i received is below in direct quote from Larry at VX Miners, i hope that is what you were asking, if i missed something in translation dont be afraid to let me know, it only takes me 5 minutes to send them an e-mail, and normally less than 24hrs to hear back.
" We use the ultra quiet 120mm Corsair fans which make next to no noise, although i do not want to tell you they are totally silent as the fan in the PUS does make a little bit of noise, but its not near as loud as the units from china."

That's cool, I understand but now it is almost required with btc for anyone that's not established so I will have to pass. Thanks
Totally understandable, Hopefully, after this one i will be a little more "established"

in for 1 or 2 if escrow available and hit date
lithod02,
I dont think there is a way for me to do escrow in this situation. I am not the one making the machines and in order to get the free shipping and a free miner to raffle off i have to pay them for the 50 machines. Although i have a good chunk of bitcoin, i do not have enough to float 50 machines on escrow. I am not collecting any funds until we have hit the 50 units required for the group buy to work which could be a day, or a week from now, or maybe more, who knows. If you would like to get in on it then just give me a number of machines you would want and i will mark you down for them, If at the time we hit 50 and i start taking payments you do not feel comfortable with it then just let me know and i am sure i can find someone else to buy what you backed out of.
If it would make you guys more comfortable i could see if there is a way i could work something out with the guys making these to get a separate address from their normal payment address just for this group buy so you can pay them directly and i myself never have to hold your bitcoin.

One other thing - to me, it's a good sign if Nate's working with them for MM support. I've been in contact with him a few times about his software, and he seems a good guy.
Piqued my interest. If true and the timeline's true, I'd be interested in one. Since they're using Bitfury chips, one obvious question would be whether or not they already have the chips in hand so there won't be delays relating to acquiring that many.
Thanks for the interest, i will mark you down for one.
To answer your question, they had to order the reels just like every body else, but they are already paid for and on order and will be shipping any day now just like everyone elses Bitfurys. The reason they are only able to make 200 of them is because that is all the bitfury chip reels they could buy.
The did manage to get their hands on at least 800 chips from somewhere for their 2 prototypes, i never thought to ask from where, but i know they have them because they have a picture of a mining unit running on what looks like multi-miner on their website.

I'm interested. I will monitor this thread and see how it develops.
