        <title>possibly worlds first bitcoin mining 3d printer setup</title>
        <description> Hey everyone I thought I&#039;d share my printing setup with you. Its a mendel max modified to almost double the z height. It has a raspberry pi running things a ps eye camera for remote video and timelaps. She has 10 asic bitcoin miners getting 3.3gig hash. Trying to pay for the printer and mining setup with it. So far I have made 3/4 my investment back in less than 3 months. You can see it at [www.crapshack.net]</description>

            <description><![CDATA[ Search ebay or the NSA I mean google for asic block erupter. They are little usb sticks that mine bitcoins. And when I started mining btc was $125 a coin now its over a grand. I have 2 powered usb hubs with 5 block erupters each daisy chained to the pi. The pi is running cgminer to control the miners. I have a 5v 75w power supply running everything but will be downgrading to a 50w to save some power. What's nice with the rpi and octoprint is I have a relay controlling the 110v power to the printer via the rpi's gpio pins. I set up system commands in octoprint to power on and off the printers power supply. I had to cut the positive and ground wires on the usb cable between the arduino and rpi so the ranps board would only be powered when I trigger the relay.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ What exchanges are you looking at ?  Mt.gox  was at like 650 last time I checked (this weekend).<br />
<br />
Also, what miners are you using?  I've been looking into mining for a little while now and am just curious.<br />
<br />
Edit - Nvm.  Just checked it and its over $1000.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ Cost per coin is over $1000 on most exchanges. I got all ten miners for $85 shipped on a group buy. And I have like $1400 into the printrr then 2 7 port powered usb hubs off ebay for like $10 each. And so far I have made almost $1200 in bitcoin.  If btc hits $1200 a coin then I am paid back... the only decision then is to cash out or ride it till it crashes.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ That's sick!  With the price of bit coin lately you should only need like 1-2 coins to make your money back.<br />
<br />
Are you including the cost of the asic chips in your overall cost?]]></description>
