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!

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
