Topic: [REFUND PROCESSING COMPLETED] K1 Nanos - Big Picture Mining Cooperative - page 12. (Read 30757 times)

same interest in price and payment

I be interested in 30 of them in the $33 price range ($1,000) but only if I can pay via Paypal or postal money order.

My limited BTC is slated for some more chips and the BTC market really isn't stable now.

Definitely keen, depending on the final price. I would only be interested in the usb miners. The other parts can be easily sourced locally and should be easier for shipping, customs and warranty

Cheers

very nice, if the pricing is right!

K1s are single-chip, USB-powered Klondike boards.

Bicknellski, have you managed to source heatsinks for the K1s yet?

What are k1 nanos?

What is your policy on chip trade-ins?

In other words, if I have my own Avalon chips, can I send them in and you can make K1s from them? I think I bought a few extra just in case some were bad.

Thanks.

In terms of prices that will be posted later on the site coming this week.

SD Card ya goes with the Pi.

Not going to keep the cards going for LTC or FTC?

We are bundling the USB hubs with everything so probably better you source that on your own but we will be sure to post any information we learn as we burn in K1s on these hubs so people can make an informed purchase. The USB hub is actually one of our cooperative development projects as a number of our members are pretty tired of trying to source  working hubs. We hope to reverse engineer some good ones and then come up with something better for our coop members but also for the community.

raspi == no, I have a tower that I bought as an upgrade to my previous dev machine that I am running my GPU's on.
hub == yes, see above.
sdcard == ?? what are those for? works with the rasbpi somehow? if so then no.

Mostly this purchase would be to upgrade from my GPU's to Asics for the power savings as I have 60+ GH/s on order from two KnC group buys.

Will you be able to get the price down into the $30 range?

We are also looking at the possibility of USB hubs, Raspberry pi's, sd cards pre-flashed. Likely that will be later in September if all but we are working on that. Are you at all interested in bundles with a hub, raspi and the pre-flashed SD card? Or just the 5 - 10 K1's? Prices will be available in the coming week off the website.

I am interested in 5-10 K1's depending on price to replace my GPU's.

- REFUNDING ADDRESS -

BPMC  https://blockchain.info/address/1Fs6yJixDtsdkjRxUDsG9yP8wfkL36r6va
         

Situation:  

BPMC is a purchasing and mining pool cooperative, where its members aggregate demand for chips and boards so we can purchase chips and produce boards for our members at cost with little or no mark up to the members. Having completed an Avalon chip buy as well as holding other chips from other buys we are keen on making K1 Nanos available to the community.

Focus

There seems to be a small window of opportunity to provide K1s from August to the end of September given the market forces pushing on bitcoin currently. We feel that we can support BKKCoins by selling thousands of K1 units and providing his stipulated royalty on each sale of the K1s. Of course our members also wish to have a return on our investment so we will be pricing the K1 accordingly given the other products available. Note we will have a website posted in the coming week with prices.

Response

We will supply the community a small volume of K1 Nanos from August to September and assess from that point if more K1 Nanos would be required should there be sufficient demand or potentially a similar product with more efficient chips could be possible.

Evaluation

In providing this limited run of K1 Nanos we feel we can reach many people who may want to enter mining for the first time but also others who might want to buy a larger numbers of K1 Nanos for testing of alternative configurations for farms including oil submersion. From these sales our coop will be in better position to help develop and make available similar or 2nd generation products to the market place. We also endeavor to provide a more human and responsive business model forward so that our community is treated above all with respect that it deserves. As a cooperative we welcome other cooperatives to work with us to raise the business standards in this community.
