Just putting some feelers out for interest in possibly getting in on a group buy for the ASIC X11 Miner DR-100. This is an X11 miner, 17ghs 820watts. This miner is going to be shipping soon as in 8/25-9/??? Right now the cost is a little over $7000 plus shipping.
The catch with the Pinidea miner is that the web site will only let you order at least 5 units and then they will toss a 6th unit in for free.
So to be able to get one of these you would have to buy at least 5. Well I don't have that kind of budget and I suspect others here don't either. But if we could get a few people interested in picking up one or 2 units we could get our minimum purchase of 5 units so we could place an order.
This miner isn't the fastest, or most efficient miner that has been recently announced in the market, but it may be the quickest shipping miner which means the best shot at possibly getting ROI in a reasonable amount of time.
UPDATE: We have now been told that batch 1 is sold out and starts shipping 8/25. We are trying to get dates for when batch 2 would start to ship. Of course shipping date would impact the value these miners have in the market and the price they are worth as Bitmain starts to ship batches in September also.
Below are the specs. Please post a reply if this is something you might be interested in doing. If we can get enough interest we can talk about how we would work out the details. I am focused on orders for the US as we can setup a point of contact for taking delivery and then shipping miners onto those who placed orders.
Let me know what you guys think. We have an email exchange with Pinidea on this subject and trying to get specifics now.
