This is surplus to my needs, the delivery of my Avalon unit was actually much earlier than thought

The BFL unit literally arrived yesterday, BRAND NEW! Works perfectly

A solid 30Gh/s of power - Simple to use, plug 'n' play with your mining software of choice

$1100 delivered or best offer!!!!

The quick version - You get rewarded in BTC for supplying the network with CPU power to confirm the monetary exchanges and transactions. The more power you can supply, the bigger the reward.

The BTC you earn, you have transferred to a monetary exchange in Australia that will credit your bank account in dollars, I use www.coinjar.com and withdraw the cash daily, current exchange rate is ~$1000 per BTC

It's a little speculative investment and lots of fun!

What's the payback like?

How long to earn a whole bitcoin?

How much electricity does it use per bitcoin?

EDIT: Actually, if you had one in your house today, it may pay itself off in a few weeks but in 24 months the cost of the power used to mine would be greater than the BC you get in return, so there's money to be made on one for the next couple of years.

What's the best price you'll do on the 50, taking into account it's old tech and you can get a 2x25s for ~$1600 brand new from Butterfly labs - they are ready to ship.

$1600 brand new from Butterfly labs - they are ready to ship......

Check out their shipping costs ;) Then add import duty, GST and the fact that "ready to ship" means........."ready to get the parts off the shelf and build you a bitcoin miner as we don't actually hold stock and make to order"

Dealing with BFL and ordering means you actually get your order 1+ months later

Not being funny at all, but they are very strange in the way they operate.....I can 1000% promise ANYONE that I'd have a brand new 200Gh/s miner in their hands in 2 weeks, BFL can't

I'll do $2000 flat, delivered for the 50Gh/s unit, which should be at least 55Gh/s going by most of the averages I'm seeing from these.

There wouldn't be any duties, etc, cause I'd get one and I'd get a mate to get one ;) that brings em in at under a gorilla each :)

But $2k ain't bad. I have a little co-op together and I think we're keen. We can't figure out if it'll ever pay itself off or not, but for $500 each we're willing to give it a bash.

I'll be in touch.

BOTH SOLD!

I can get a brand spanking new ASIC 200GH/s Avalon for $4500 if anyone is keen, limit of TWO at this price and only available for the next few days. They land in under two weeks and don't have an owner. Check ebay, second hand ones start at $4000 and go for way more!

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
