Topic: [WTB] Old mining hardware - page 3. (Read 8973 times)
Still looking for good old stuff. We'd really like some BitFury miners, especially some of the plentitude of USB miners made by third parties. Old BFL stuff, FPGAs, Gen1 Avalon, anything weird or from some random unknown, let me know what you got.
that's how i see it. hell i might even power up those bitty shlades... ha! i may be looking for donations towards my leccy bill soon!
Yeah well, I've always liked to do things my own way. So far it's worked. I don't know how often this hardware will be run, but if it's not mining it's not fun right?
my 2 x BFL singles are still running 
you are joining an elusive club sidehack

Fair enough. Let's go with two, then - for redundancy, right? Let me know the final price (BTC preferred) to US 65401 in a PM and we can finish this up.
It's pretty unfortunate that BFL as a business was basically overtly evil, because I've often heard the same thing - that their miners were solid - and because their office is only about 200 miles from me. Was never worth making the trip though.

Just cover shipping and maybe a dollar or 2 for packing efforts. I will grab you one next time I am at the farm. I have to say for as bad as BFL is/was they made great miners.
I never got the stock PSU with them...they were garbage anyways.

Are you looking for any currency in exchange for the machine itself, or just the shipping cost? I guess I should have specified "how much to purchase and ship one or two".
Groovy. Whatcha think to ship one or two (ideally fully functional; stock PSU would be nice but probably not essential) to MO 65401?
They worked fine when I shut them down. My guess about $10 to ship it priority give or take a dollar or 2.

Yes, they were 60 g/h (Singles)
I'm talking to a guy about Avalons already, so that's (hopefully) no trouble. I bet Luke-Jr is a lot more well funded anyway.
I have zero BFL hardware right now. My original ASIC purchase (like a lot of people) was from BFL, but I finagled a PayPal refund for the Jalapeno and turned it into an AM blade, which certainly turned out well. Remind me on the Single; that was the 60-odd GH machine?

I have a couple of BFL Singles collecting dust if interested. I actually sold off my original Avalon recently to Luke-Jr. Let me know if you want a single.
Yeah let's give it a bit. If nobody else shows up wanting to unload original Garden blades, by, oh, end of the year I'd probably dump $100 on the set.
parcelmonkey reckons the cheapest i can get is £65 (~$100)
to be fair, i'd advise against it, even at that price
72GH/s...

Crikey. I've shipped 8KG worth of power supplies to AU for about a third of that. Half a coin is more than I can budget right now.
Ooh, fancy! What'll it take to send some to MO, US 65401?
you want them all?
royal mail reckons ~$170 (~£110) shipping cost for a 10kg box (which would be about right)

haha - here's a blast from the past! weighing in at 8KG without packaging
9 blades which run at 8GH/s each - so ~72GH/s in total...

Oh, um... no rush. I mean, it's the weekend.
Well, it's part of the history. And don't worry about power supplies, that's sorta what we do here.
I could be called "invested", I run about 4TH of my own gear (probably closer to 5 when I find time to figure out some hardware issues) but it's mostly for entertainment. I wanted to see how much hashrate I could amass without out-of-pocket expenses, by reinvesting profit coin straight back into stepped upgrades, but over the summer I just started looking for whatever I didn't already have but looked interesting. I'd really like to get my hands on a OneString, and there are a sea of USB miners I've barely even heard of which look pretty cool.
