Topic: [WTB] Old mining hardware (Read 8973 times)

I've only got a 4-blade, so I'm not really sure how to help much. Does the standard image not support more by default? Maybe novak will be interested in looking into that. He's the software guy. Also I would not mind having all of the hardware you just mentioned, since right now I have none of those things.

I've got an air cooled MrTeal Chili and a water cooled version of the same. Also still have that Gen 3 Avalon. Would love to trade for a five blade working dragon image.

Updated the list of whatall we have. I should organize it one of these days and put up some pictures.

Still looking for odds and ends. 30GH BFL units, USB miners, Technobit boards, whatever. If it's taking up space in your closet there's a chance I'll pay you for it.

Still looking to buy miscellaneous stuff. I did a bit of talking to some guys about BlackArrow X-3 but they kinda stopped responding. We're also looking for Avalon Gen3 stuff, most anything BFL, any of the hundred different USB miners, older KnC hardware... basically, anything in good shape that we don't already have two of.

just not worth your expense mate.

how much you selling s1 blades.

Yeah.  That is what I have. K16.  I was having issues estimating shipping.  Let me know what you think a fair price is.  I am at 60077

Yeah Raskul, them's pretty high prices. I thought you were estimating 70, not 100.

Klondike board? We actually just picked up a Klondike K16 last week. Nothing wrong with having two of some things, if that's what you're looking at.

Would you be interested in a Klondike board?  I got mine from the Steamboat GB.  They have been collecting dust for some time now.  I would be happy to give you one for free, if you pay for shipping.  Shipping shouldn't be much.  Its small.

more than they'll ever mine. see shipping quotes:

Raskul, what's your price for shipping the stack of blades to US 65401? Speed doesn't really matter.

Stan, yes trades are fine. We also have cables and other stuff, just gotta work out a price.

I have one working Hashfast board complete and one that's not functioning and not complete both are V 1.2. One Technobit Avalon 3 miner someplace I pick up locally a while back.  One of the chips is dead so If I remember it hashes at 85 GH. Would you be willing to trade for a brake out board or 2 for the Dell 750W?

again, i reckon it's probably not worth the shipping costs from the UK.
if you want to arrange a collection of the box, there are 9 x 8GH/s blades

I didn't know either, but apparently the have a switch on 'em to go scrypt-only or both and these have the switch replaced by jumpers. It would not be hard to shift the jumpers to the other position.

Ah ok, I didn't know that there is a Gridseed 1-chip version with scrypt-only available. How does it look like? I'm aware of Gridseed sticks with both, BTC and LTC logo on it.
Scrypt-only is fine to me. I will try to find one within Europe first. Shipping is not really worth it.

Raskul, I'd said if I got to the first of the year and nobody'd turned up some old Garden blades I'd let you know. Here it is, and I still have none, so... whatcha selling?

Eneloop, I do actually have some dualminers but they're the scrypt-only version, if that matters. I've got six but don't need that many if you're interested in picking up one or two.

Anyone wants to sell me a Gridseed USB (1-Chip) miner (also known as dualminer)?
I'm sorry for hijacking your thread, but you have this one already in your have-it-already list. If you have more than one + for sale, let me know. Thanks!

i do mate, what were you thinking?

Hey raskul, you still got those old Garden blades?

I've got one busted Habanero that's been running around the shop for a while. I bet between the three I can get two working.

PM me the details. I'm having some trouble with the machine my museum wallet is on, but once we get the ethernet working I'll be able to sync up and send the coin across (unless you want PayPal, that's also a thing I can do).

Closed loop system. So scratch that.

I know the one card is good with the burnt plugs, that should be easy for you to replace. I will give you the other card, just so I don't have to look at it. $75 and I will pay shipping.

When you say "coolers" do you mean just waterblocks, or the whole closed-loop system with fans and radiator and stuff? Because I already have a good radiator manifold setup, all I'd need is blocks (and I might actually have a pair running around already...) so if you have closed loops, all I'd be interested in are the boards.

I'm not really sure what to offer. I mean obviously it'd be great to get 'em for about ten bucks plus shipping but that seems unlikely.

You tell me. I got the coolers as well.

I'm interested. Whatcha thinking?

1 board has 2 melted jacks and the other has a bad regulator.

How busted is busted? Like shattered, or melted power jacks, or what?

I got 2 busted Habanero boards.

I've got a bunch of S1, about 15 whole units on hand (progressively underclocking, work in progress) and some Gridseed stuff (pod, USB scrypt-only). No Technobit, and a currently nonfunctional Habanero (not sure, might be firmware or reflow or something needed).

what are you looking for?

I have:
gridseed pods
gridseed blade
hex16a2
antminer u1's
tons of bare s1 blades (20+)
hashfast yoli/ pepper mining habanero

you still don't have 130nm btcgarden blades 

I've got plenty of S1 and power supplies, but thanks. I'm looking for more novel stuff.

I have a bunch of s1 miners overclocked to 200GH to 210GH with 800w gold rated PSUs on them pm me a price and a good offer and ill sell.

It was starting to sound like it but I hadn't been able to research yet.

I think that's the same as the unit that you got from me.

200Gh/sec @ 1000W
Looks to maybe be rackmount and is about 3U in size.

I think its the same as the Visionman 200 if you know those.

That's not a thing I know much about. What's the numbers?

I have a LightningASIC 200Gh/sec, Avalon2 based miner.

Looks like we have some BFL FPGA, Jalapeno and 60GH Single on the way, as well as some USB scrypt miners, NanoFury 6 USB sticks and some OneStrings. Anyone else got anything interesting?

Novak just found some of those Garden blades on eBay and was wondering what the heck they were. It's too bad the only people I know that have some are in England and Australia. Shipping ain't cheap. Here before long I need to clean up a space and shelf the hardware we have, get some pictures up.

ha, i'm glad you bumped this thread... went over to visit my dad today and he had dug out an old BFL PSU
you know the ones that eat up twice the electricity of a kettle boiling 24/7 and tend to break when they get a spec of dust inside!?

that was a nice blast from the not so distant past.

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".

They worked fine when I shut them down. My guess about $10 to ship it priority give or take a dollar or 2.

Groovy. Whatcha think to ship one or two (ideally fully functional; stock PSU would be nice but probably not essential) to MO 65401?

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.

you want them all?

royal mail reckons ~$170 (~£110) shipping cost for a 10kg box (which would be about right)

Ooh, fancy! What'll it take to send some to MO, US 65401?

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.

ok, gimme an hour.. i'll see if i can dig that box out.

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.

i went back to bitparking with most of my hashpower... that stats reset few weeks back irked me a little but i drop in now and again just to keep the credit up, for when a block does get found. I managed to get a data-unit set up with free leccy, so i've got 3 sp10's in there, 2 S3's at home in the office room for winter and 2 BFL60's upstairs to warm the *coughs* 'greenhouse'.

i'm not heavily invested now either.. all my miners have made their money back and i'm in a comfortable position that i don't have to cashout anything to pay electric bills, so all is sweet. in fairness, i doubt that you really want thee BTCgarden blades but i'll dig em out (eventually) for you and let you know what there is in total.

just - don't ask me to power them up, i think the psu's i had for them have been dumped - but they do still work ok - in a getwork sort of style.  

they were continually named ' The Bitty Schlades' (shitty blades)

Yeah been a long round. I've had to divide my hashrate, about half there and half elsewhere. I'm not hurting though, never had money riding on mining. I prefer to work for a living.

The only guy I know firsthand that bought into the old Garden stuff was a guy from England that I sold some AM Blade kits to; he kept in touch and pops in to ask questions about things on occasion and he asked about what I knew about those Blades. Which was nothing. Never even seen one.

Yeah I'm currently basking in the warmth of a Dragon keeping my whole apartment toasty. The S1s at the shop aren't running very warm anymore; Thursday I got one of them down to 140GH at 152WDC with 1% errors. Gotta keep at least one stock though, for posterity.

i'm good mate, getting close to 60 days on you-know-where (!), hope all is good with you and yours.
meh... i went up into the cupboard in the loft and it's all buried at the back... gimme a day or so to dig out all the other boxes and shit that is obstructing my can't-be-arsed-to-do-this attitude and i'll get back to you. I think i have ~10 blades @ 8GH/s per blade (from what i can remember).

all the crap that i've dumped up there, just goes to show how long has passed since these blades were powered up! i think i heated my office room with them last winter lol

Oh hey raskul, how ya doing. Yeah I was hoping someone would pipe up about the old BTCGarden stuff; I don't know if they really sold a lot. Definitely let me know what you have.

i have a box-load of BTCgarden blades... it's the one part of my rig that isn't getting powered up for winter (i think -130nm chips)
let me dig the box out of the attic and i'll post specs and a pic, you can make me an offer if you like.

What, nobody has old stuff they want to get rid of? Nothing interesting but no longer (or barely) profitable?

Sometime around the middle of this year my hardware purchases shifted from "maximize the hashrate, minimize expense" to "oh that's interesting and I don't already have one". The collection is become fairly diverse but still only a fraction of what's been available over the last two years or so. We're thinking of putting together an informal "bitcoin mining museum" in a corner of the shop, and basically just poking around to see what people have they're willing to get rid of.

Right now I have a fair amount of ASICMiner and BitMain offerings, a few odds and ends (Avalon Gen1, Habanero, BA X1 etc) but that's about it. We have very few USB miners, not much with BitFury chips, not much from BFL, BTCGarden, RockMiner and a bunch of other outfits.

The budget is kinda low right now, but if you have something interesting PM me and we can talk shop. I'd prefer hardware that's fully functional, but depending on the problem (and the price), there's a lot of stuff I can fix or work around.
