I'll buy some R60's when Canary sells them.  Trying to order anything off that Rockminer website from the U.S. didn't seem possible.

That's what I was looking at. Two on a circuit would work.

~24 amp for 4 units, right?

R60 is very interesting. It is too bad minimum order quantity is 4 though. The problem being that the set would require more current than a single US circuit can provide. So if we haven't already run electric for a small farm then we are either doing that or running extension cords or networking cable to connect to the Pi.

I'm thinking about this from the perspective that was mentioned: getting more people involved in mining. This is targeted at someone with lower risk tolerance, who may not already be involved in mining, but who still has the infrastructure or space to run something that power hungry (in Quantity 4). It seems like a narrow market.

Is R60 going to be sold by resellers in quantity 1 or only in higher quantity?

Thanks.

rockxie,

Couple of questions for you please.

1) The 60 day hosting peroid begins on day of delivery. What is in place to help guarantee timely delivery?

2) Do we have control over which pool the RX-Box is directed to (wallet also) at all times?

3) Is our 1BTC per RX-Box hosting deposit held in escrow? If so will it be held until the full 60 days hosting period has passed even if RX-Box is delivered 8 weeks late?

4) Is there a cancelation policy in place if you deliver late?

4) How can we be sure you will pay any shortage of earned BTC?

4) Your site does not allow selection of country or cities for shipping calculations in the checkout section!

Thanks Trends

This is a unique concept but I 'm not seeing the protection required for miners!

rockxie,
it's still a bit confusing.
Let me repeat what I understood and ask for clarification:

it's 1 btc per xrbox (minimum order 4) ?
when we receive the xrbox, we mine for ourselves, not for rockminer?
if after 60 days of mining, 1 btc is not mined back (or USD equivalent, reference $650/USD) then you will pay back the difference to bring the total to 1 btc (or USD equivalent with starting reference of $650/USD)

I'm sure I'll hear from then when things are ready, don't worry.

 


Now I understand your  pm message.  Right now I do not have enough info Just a chrome/google translation on the  rockminer website.

I would send in a btc to them if I knew what was happening.

If I read it correctly the important details.

The price is for hosted mining, they will host your miner for 60 days, and you are obliged to pay electricity for it.
Rockminer guarantees you will recoup your 1 btc cost, if after 60 days you only earn 0.8 btc, rockminer will refund you 0.2 btc.

Sounds like a great deal if all is legit

X box More details please.  Anyway  philipma1957 thanks for the news I will keep track. Bring us some photo if u got one.

chrome translates it better  here goes:

so frankly  I am thinking  you need to order 2 pieces  600gh each 1 btc each  But for now it has promise

Can we get a little more clarification on the XBox?  Either Google translator is malfunctioning or it's repetitive broken english.  It does look like it reads each one will hash at 600 gb/s and a minimum order of 2.  But that's where I get lost.  The 60 days hosting looks to be mandatory or is that the protection plan?  They speak of payment by escrow, who?  Please, very interested but need some questions answered.
No, it does say 1 unit = to 2 * 600ghs.
Now as I read this  http://www.rockminer.com/R60/
You can receive these miners for 1 btc = $650 as long as for the first 60 days host mine for them.  After that the contract is up and the miner is fully paid for.  Does that sound right?

you would be perfect buyer of one unit.  buy it and solo mine btc with it.

this is a great unit for solo mining for any one with 1th or more pool mining.

what is needed is an easy plug n play usb/raspberry pi option for some one to use this to solo mine.

here is your math this does 32gh at 39 watts on a shit power brick .  so it should do 32 gh at 35 watts on a stud atx psu.
__________________________________________________________________________
  you have 2 s-1s on a 1000 watt psu mining at a pool and run this at solo mining.
_________________________________________________________________________

the idea works
_______________________________________________________________________________ __________
 you  are like me you have a host setup like I do in china a few dragons running 2th at a pool
4 ant s-1 undervalued running 630th at a second pool.

and soon to be running this at solo mining.
_______________________________________________________________________________ ___________
the idea works


My goal is to create a 2 pack setup for ebay sales set to mine 1 at bit minter and set to mine 1 solo.

 try to sell this around 200-250 usd.   give  an atx cable like this:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JG7AGDY/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

a usb stick like this :

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EF3GVAG/ref=oh_details_o08_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

with custom setup software.

I think this would sell.  You as an 8th miner truly are a perfect candidate for 1 unit set to solo mine as

 it gives you and endless shot to score big on every block mined.

At the same time you are pulling .4 btc a day with your big guns.

If you break the math down at:
 todays diff  11.7
 with todays power prices <20 cents a kwatt  and the current price of btc 660 usd +

 it fits the definition of investment not the definition of gambling.

statistically speaking it would turn a profit not a loss thus investing not gambling.


also if this can do a pencil mod to drop hash to 28Gh, but drop power to 25 watts  they are even better.

I think it is 1btc per xbox with a minimum of 2. Some clarification and/or an english translation would be nice.


Looks like they come with a usb hub and rpi.

If you're running it off a raspberry pi though obviously it needs to be a hub that works with the pi.

Other than that I'd think anything would work.

correct

Surely its just a data port, so as long as its powered, any cheap hub would do?
