Yeah was in a mad rush to get fuel then up the motorway haha! Good to meet you anyway. Car looked sweet (sounded great on the way out too) see you at the weekend! - Chris

Lol at the URSO Good work Chris! P.s. To the guy at the Lagan Valley Petrol Station in the Glanza (a few weeks ago) asking me was i going to this? Who are you? haha. Was in a bit of a rush and never got your name

Good to hear you got it sorted so quick! Was looking forward to seeing the bumper too! haha. Back on track anyway

I know that. I bought bitcoins through localbitcoins.com. But lost £5.50 in transfer fees. I'm going to try OKpay later. Just got verified today (heard it's secure to use).

5 days later and my balance peaked at £67 yesterday. (£37 profit and still going) Trading on btc-e mainly with bitcoin and litecoin. If you're still interested in it Chris this might be a good option. I just keep kicking myself. If I invested £300 I would be £370 up. Haha

Sounds good! Back on track Remix on for the 8th?

Gunmetal grey from me too bud. Will look great with those SR stickers too.

Looking forward to this. Good turnout so far too!

Threw £30 into trading tonight on BTC-E. Lets see how this goes...

Nope. Once you get it out, all bulbs are accessible from the rear of the clocks.

Maybe. Have a look at a gpu chart, see what MH/s yours outputs. Considering the miners are 350MH/s each. It might not be worth your while considering power usage of a full pc can be costly. There are calculators out there which can work out your efficiency.

Yes you can buy sell just like shares, which is more profitable, but time consuming, compared to letting a miner work in its own. And a free coin? That's worth $500 right now? What wallet is that from?

Its almost impossible to say. If you started early you could have mined more coins at a lower difficulty, which today would be worth alot more. If you start now you will not mine as many, and in turn your work won't be worth much. But if you kept them who's to say in a year's time they won't be worth x10 what they are now. With numbers 1 year ago, mine 1 coin. It was maybe worth £10. With the same amount of work you might only mine 0.02 today. But coins are worth £500+. So if you Sold, you would still only make £10. However If you kept your coin from a year ago it is now worth £500+ to you. So its possible in a year's time that 0.02 might be worth alot more than £10. So its impossible to say who has been saving and who hasnt and the potential this machine can make. All in all, if you sold as you mine, you won't make much. Maybe £4 a week.

Nice amount of coins! If as you said a big player starts to accept it as a viable means of payment, It will skyrocket to god knows what height. Already spiked recently only because the US congress have taken a big enough interest to talk about it. If someone like amazon/ebay/paypal start using it as currency. It could double/treble within days. Very interesting to see where this goes!

From what I can tell what you will need is: Raspberry Pi ~ £30 Powered USB Hub ~ £20 USB ASIC Miners ~ £25 each Depending on the amount of USB Miners you add, varies the speed you can mine. Therefore: ~£200 all in should set you up with that setup with 6 USB miners. At the current speeds (difficulty) and bitcoin value it will take the most part of a year to get your money back. Then profit after that. However if you collect the coins and don't cash in, In a years time they might be worth x2 of what they are now, but that's a gamble. Bearing in mind, difficulty also increases over time. Plus electric bills having this running 24/7. However with the Pi setup, electricity usage is very minimal. All in all, it will generate money, but with this machine the best part of the first year will be covering your costs. Its really a gamble. P.s. Bear in mind, you will need a keyboard/monitor to setup the Pi with software etc. Plenty of info out there for mining bit coins too.

The guys selling other items at unrealistic prices too, all with the same negative reviews (considering these are $2500 machines) = http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/50-GH-s-Bitcoin-Miner/736978_1334880690.html If you haven't already ordered them, don't bother, waste of time.

Been looking into and researching mining For about a month now. Already got a rPi for messing around on from months ago. Might get a setup like this running. Alot of talk about wether the cost of mining on this scale is more efficient than just buying and selling coins. But with the massive changes in BTC prices its hard to tell...

Looks good Chris. Appreciate the effort.

Currently running no powersteering from factory. Considering installing it, as noel said, you'd be better with it.

I'll maybe give this a go over the weekend if I have a bit of time.

I should be able to do either Though it would be cool to get a few down to the Japdreamz meet.

Should be able to make this! I'll let you know.

Welcome to UKSO!

Looking forward to see what comes of this...

I ended up resorting to some unleaded petrol. Probably not the best idea, but did the trick.
